Chapter 307 The Medicine

He should’ve been her choice!

Riley sighed, “Vince is my combat buddy. We’ve been on tons of missions together, so we know how to work with each other. That’s why I made him the one to get the timed message.”

And when she’d gotten to the hotel earlier, she’d already canceled the message anyway.

“You’ve never worked with me before, so how do you know we wouldn’t have the same teamwork?” Sebastian asked.

“You’ve already done so much for me. There’s no reason to drag you into this too,” she said.

He let out a bitter laugh.

Helping her? But wasn’t he really just helping himself? He wanted her to find Samuel as soon as possible, and he wanted

Samuel to be safe.

He said, “Riley, don’t use excuses like that to push me away, okay? If you want to find Samuel, if you want to use my resources. Then use them completely. Don’t hold back.”

Riley pressed her lips together. “Sebastian, I’m not borrowing your help. I’m using you. I’m taking advantage of you find 53

Sebastian continued, “You don’t need to apologize to me. Whether you’re borrowing my help or using me, it doesn’t matter. I’ve told you, I’m doing this willingly.”

“But what if I don’t get back together with you?” she said quietly. “I know I can use you like this because you still have feelings for me. But I…..”

་་

“Don’t say it!” Sebastian cut her off suddenly.

“I’m sorry.” That was all she could give him right now. “If there’s ever anything you need help with in the future, I’ll help you. I’ll pay you back for everything you’re doing for me now.”

“Pay me back?” He moved closer to her. “What if I said I have insomnia and can’t sleep? Would you pay me back by holding my hand and helping me fall asleep?”

Riley frowned. “If you have insomnia, you should see a doctor.”

“What makes you think I haven’t already seen doctors?” he

shot back.

She stared at the faint dark circles under his eyes.

So it’s really from insomnia?

He added, “Or maybe this whole ‘paying you back‘ thing is just something you’re saying. If that’s the case, then don’t bother 2/5 saying it at all.”

She gave him hope and then crushed it.

Riley thought for a moment. “If you really can fall asleep when you’re with me, then you can stay here while we’re abroad.”

Once they got back home, he could get proper treatment

anyway.

“You’re agreeing to it?” He sounded shocked.

“Yes, I’m agreeing to it,” she said.

If that was the payback he wanted, then fine. It was another way to settle the debt.

“Can I start tonight?” Sebastian asked.

“Tonight?”

“I haven’t slept properly in days.” He suddenly bent down. and rested his head on her shoulder, his voice rough with exhaustion. “Riley, I won’t do anything. I just want to get some real sleep.”

“Okay, starting tonight, you can sleep here. But I don’t have any of your pajamas or anything, so you’ll need to bring your own stuff,” Riley said.

Sebastian didn’t waste any time. He pulled out his phone and 3/5 made a call.

“These are Mr. Torres‘ personal items and clothing,” Felix said.

When Riley walked Felix to the door, he pressed a pill bottle into her hand. “This is Mr. Torres‘ medication. If he still can’t

sleep while he’s here with you, have him take these. But no more than five pills at a time. Make sure he doesn’t take more than that.”

“Wait, does he usually take more?” Riley stared at the bottle in surprise.

She hadn’t realized Sebastian’s insomnia had gotten this bad.

“Sometimes when Mr. Torres gets really frustrated from not sleeping, he takes extra pills,” Felix said.

“Okay, I got it.” Riley nodded.

After Felix left, she carried the pill bottle back to the bedroom and found Sebastian coming out of the bathroom, freshly showered.

Seeing him in his pajamas made her feel weirdly disoriented for a second. It reminded her of before they broke up, when every night he’d come out like this after his shower, wearing pajamas, and they’d just… be together.

Sebastian’s eyes landed on the pill bottle in her hand. “Felix gave you that?”

the label stuck to it.

The warnings were pretty clear. Sebastian couldn’t take too much of this medicine, and definitely couldn’t use it long–term. Otherwise, there could be serious side effects.

“When did you start taking these?” she asked.

“The third day after you left me,” he said quietly.

Riley froze. That meant he’d been on them for at least two

weeks.

“You can’t keep taking these,” she said. “If you take too many, they’ll damage your kidneys and liver. They’ll hurt your body.”
