Sebastian slept for a full seven hours!
When he woke up, he felt light and better than he ever had.
He moved. His hand brushed against the girl's soft arm.
He opened his eyes and looked at her.
She was sleeping with her head tilted, her neck resting against the back of the sofa. As if afraid of crushing him, her arms were held carefully on either side of his body.
He slept on her lap all night.
That was ridiculous.
He stared at her for a few seconds before trying to sit up, but the movement woke Noelle, who was sleeping restlessly.
"Sebastian... "
She mumbled his name even in her sleep.
Noelle had been dreaming of Sebastian's tragic death in her past life. She couldn't help but call his name, and her eyes suddenly snapped open!
She looked into Sebastian's complicated and scrutinizing eyes.
"Honey! You're awake!"
Noelle was overjoyed. "How do you feel? Are you still uncomfortable anywhere?"
Sebastian's eyes were deep. "No."
"Phew, that's good. I'm so glad you're okay!"
Noelle was happy. She stretched her stiff arms and neck a little.
"You stayed like that all night?"
"Yeah!" Noelle nodded. "I didn't dare move! You were sleeping so soundly. I was afraid you would wake up if I moved! You must be really busy and never get a good night's sleep. Just look at those dark circles under your eyes!"
As she spoke, she reached out and gently touched the area under Sebastian's eye. Her soft, warm fingertips made his eyelashes twitch slightly.
He called Primo and Duo in and told Noelle to go back to her room to rest.
Noelle had something she needed to do in her room, so she obediently left.
Lucas came in to check Sebastian's condition.
He hadn't dared to leave Melrose Manor all night, worried something might happen if Sebastian woke up suddenly. But Sebastian slept better than anyone!
"Sebastian, you actually slept a full seven hours!" Lucas checked on his condition, shocked. "And six and a half hours were deep sleep!"
This was the best sleep Sebastian had gotten since he was poisoned.
For over a year, they tried everything to help him sleep, but nothing worked unless they used medication—and even then, he could only sleep two or three hours. But last night, he slept for seven whole hours, simply lying on that woman's lap!
What kind of magic did that woman have?
Primo and Duo were practically in tears. Their boss finally got a good night's rest, and just like that, they weren't as against Noelle anymore.
Sebastian's eyes were dark. "She has this really light scent. It's calming. Maybe that's why I slept so long."
"A scent? Like perfume?" Lucas got excited. "If she can help you sleep, keep her around. I'll try to figure out what perfume she's using and see if we can buy it somewhere."
"I've only got about two years left. Why waste it sleeping? I'd rather use the time for something that matters."
Sebastian's defeated tone made Lucas's face darken. "Don't say that! The poison can be cured! As long as we find The Miracle Healer, you'll be saved! I've already contacted Alliance 749. They'll definitely find them!"
The Miracle Healer was the most mysterious person in the medical world. They could bring people back from the dead with just a silver needle. But they were so secretive, nobody even knew if they were a man or a woman.
