Chapter 441 Symptoms and Signals

As soon as Abraham saw her, he turned to Eddie behind him and said, “Take a look at Stella.”

Eddie blinked. “Huh? What’s wrong with her?”

Abraham’s tone was calm. “She hasn’t had much of an appetite lately.”

She hadn’t eaten much at lunch, and barely touched the snacks he brought back.

After giving Eddie his instructions, Abraham looked down at Stella, gently ruffling her soft hair with a familiar affection. “I need to head out for a bit.”

The moment she heard Abraham was going out again with Mr. Job, Stella instinctively grabbed his wrist.

“There won’t be any more changes to tonight’s flight back to Falvaria, right?”

Seriously–no more surprises.

If there were, Tessa might cry her eyes out again over the phone.

And Stella was worried about her. Even if Victor wouldn’t lay a hand on her, the poor girl might still scare herself into a breakdown at this rate.

She needed to get back as soon as possible.

Abraham reassured her. “Don’t worry. Everything’s set.”

“Good. Then go.”

He nodded and left with Mr. Job.

The man was constantly on the move.

Once his figure disappeared through the door, Stella turned to Eddie. “Did everything with Lancelot get handled?”

In Falvaria, Lancelot might be the first person ever bold enough to hack into Abraham’s systems.

Eddie froze for a beat when she brought up Lancelot.

Then his expression darkened. “From now on, there is no more Lancelot,”

Stella’s eyes widened.

Yeah… she’d figured things wouldn’t end well for someone who dared pull that. And here it was.

Eddie asked, “So what’s bothering you?”

Stella shrugged. “It’s not anything major. Just no appetite lately.”

She really hadn’t been enjoying food the way she used to.

Before, she could eat anything and enjoy it.

Especially at night–she loved snacking then.

Eddie asked, “No appetite? Do you feel bloated?”

“A little.”

And she hadn’t even eaten that much–why did she still feel bloated?

Eddie studied her for a moment, his expression turning thoughtful.

The way he looked at her made her nervous. “Wait, don’t tell me it’s something serious?”

No joke–anyone would feel uneasy being stared at like that by a doctor.

She was still young. The last thing she wanted was a major health scare.

Eddie said flatly, “No, not something serious.”

“Oh.”

Then why the weird stare? Like having no appetite was some medical crisis.

He thought for a second. “I’ll give you some granules to try. Take two packets.”

“What kind of granules?”

“Pepsin. Your brother used to give them to you.”

“Oh… that stuff?”

She remembered it.

She’d taken it during a hospital stay before. It was kind of sweet and sour–tasted pretty good, actually.

Eddie didn’t think the bloating was anything to worry about, but something still felt off. He couldn’t quite put his finger on it yet.

Whatever. Let her try the meds first.

Stella said, “Alright, I’ll take it.”

Then turned to head upstairs.

Eddie called after her, “Where are you going?”

“To sleep?”

Eddie narrowed his eyes. “You’ve been sleeping a little too well lately, haven’t you?”

Now that he mentioned it… she paused.

Yeah, her sleep had been really good recently.

She used to skip naps and still feel perfectly energetic in the afternoon. But lately, not so much.

After lunch, she could barely stay awake.

Worse still–sometimes she’d sleep through the entire morning, then still need a nap and a full night’s sleep. Add it all up and the hours were kind of insane.

But the weird thing was, even though she was sleeping more, she didn’t actually feel well–rested.

“I don’t feel good. Every time I sleep, I dream. And I wake up totally exhausted.”

And not just any dreams–nightmares.

Always about snakes, or other creepy, slithery creatures.

Just thinking about it made her skin crawl–and yet, she kept dreaming about them.

Eddie rubbed his chin. “Nightmares too? Alright, I’ll add another herbal blend.”

Stella nodded. “Okay.”

Just like that, the two of them casually diagnosed her as suffering from insomnia, vivid dreams, and mild indigestion.

Eddie left.

And just as Stella got back to her room, her phone rang–it was Rianne.

Stella picked up. “Rianne?”

“Stell… Stella…”

The voice on the other end was weak. So faint, Stella could feel how fragile it was even through the phone.

Her chest tightened. “What–what happened to you?”
