Chapter 140 I Won’t Go
Noelle brushed past Ethan and stepped into the room. When she saw Sebastian, the cold edge on her face disappeared, replaced with a warm, bright smile. “Honey!”
Her voice lifted playfully at the end–soft, teasing, and only for him.
Ethan watched the scene, his gaze darkening.
When Royce and Olivia saw Zeke being dragged off, the truth hit them. He was a fraud, and Noelle actually had connections with Alliance 749. Shocked, they hurriedly ushered Sebastian and Noelle out.
Sebastian and Noelle didn’t intend to linger anyway. Noelle wrote out a prescription, telling them to brew the medicine and give it to Theodore on schedule each day. Within a few days, he would fully recover.
Worried they might not listen, she repeated her instructions multiple times. She emphasized that the medicine had to be taken exactly as prescribed, or Theodore’s condition could
worsen.
Once Sebastian and his group left, Royce and Olivia paced.
“That crippled Sebastian actually married such an incredible wife!”
“She even knows people from Alliance 749, and she knows medicine…” Olivia was frantic. She turned around and saw Ethan still looking calm, which only made her more anxious. “Ethan, why aren’t you worried at all?! Sebastian has a powerful ally now. What if he competes with you for the Menzies‘ inheritance?”
“Uncle Royce, Aunt Olivia, it’s getting late. You should go home and rest,” Ethan said coolly, having someone escort them out.
They left, grumbling under their breath.
Ethan returned to Theodore’s room.
Two servants were tending to him.
Ethan dismissed them, then stayed behind. He pulled over a small stool and sat by the bed. Listening to Theodore’s steady breathing, he closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep, resting his head against Theodore’s hand.
He didn’t turn off the lights. When he was young, he had been locked in a basement for an

entire month by those people. Ever since then, he has suffered from claustrophobia and can’t stay in dark, enclosed spaces.
Sebastian and Noelle returned to their villa as well.
It was already 4:00 a.m.
Noelle had stayed up with him all night. Sebastian felt deeply sorry for her and took her to wash up. She barely wanted to move, so he washed her face and feet for her.
“Noelle, you’ve worked so hard. Sleep a little longer.”
Sebastian carried her to the bed, tucked her in, adjusted the air conditioner, and was about to leave. But Noelle clung to his waist.
“If you leave, I won’t be able to fall asleep!” she whined, rubbing against his tense waist. “Honey, don’t go. Let’s sleep together!”
Sebastian stroked her hair, his heart softening. “Alright. I won’t go. I’ll stay in the room with you. I’ll sit here while you sleep.”
“No,” Noelle said, looking at him. “You’ve been up all night, too. You need to sleep properly as well!”
As she spoke, she lifted the blanket and patted the large space beside her. “Look, the bed is huge. There’s plenty of room for both of us! I promise I won’t get any wild ideas, won’t touch you, won’t do anything inappropriate, and won’t have any dirty thoughts. Feel better now?”
Sebastian chuckled, amusement sparkling in his brown eyes. What kind of girl would talk like that?
Her playful antics swept away the heaviness weighing on him over family matters.
“I’m really going to sleep now!” Noelle said, forming circles with her hands over her eyes, leaving only her big eyes visible. “If I don’t, I’ll wake up with huge dark circles! You don’t want a pretty girl walking around like that, right? So stop talking and sleep!”
She tugged Sebastian straight onto the bed, giving him zero chance to object.
She tucked him in, smoothed the blanket over him, and even patted it. Then she lay down, hands neatly folded over her waist, sleeping peacefully.
She didn’t touch him at all.
It was their first time sharing a bed. She still had to be a little reserved. What if Sebastian
