NovelBookChapter 1034: Isaac noticed the change in her expression and gently pulled her into his arms.
Upstairs, Kristian had barely made it into his room before pulling out his phone. He sent a message to Gerard. "Look into Liam's social circle-who he's been hanging around with this past year. Quietly." Gerard didn't ask questions; he got to work.
By midnight, Kristian was still lying in bed, eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling.
Since regaining his memories, sleep had been a rare thing. Aside from that one night when he drank himself into oblivion, he hadn't had a proper rest.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, days had passed, and his insomnia was only getting worse.
Worried his family might notice and start asking questions, he decided to leave hfor a while. He moved into his own villa-the one he used to share with Freya.
That day, Gerard had just finished handing over a stack of documents for review when Kristian stood up to grab a glass of water. But the moment he rose, everything went dark. His vision blurred. His ears rang. And then he collapsed.
Gerard rushed over, panicked. “Mr. Shaw! Can you hear me?” No response.
Without wasting a second, he called an ambulance.
By the tKristian was admitted to the hospital, Lawrence had already gotten the news and rushed over.
He looked down at the unconscious Kristian lying on the bed. "What happened?" he asked casually, though concern was clearly in his voice. Could it be that Kristian hadn't fully recovered? But Kristian's recovery had been under his watch. Physically, Kristian had been fine-so this didn't make sense.
"The doctor said it's exhaustion," Gerard answered, his tone heavy. "He's been sleeping too little. It's catching up to him." Lawrence frowned. "How little are we talking?" g In σ vs.com, hto the best fiction "Two hours a night." That number had been verified through surveillance footage from his home.
"Because of work?" Gerard shook his head. “No. He hasn't touched company business in weeks.” "Insomnia?" "Most likely," Gerard admitted. He wasn't entirely sure.
Kristian had spent most of his tat hrecently, not dealing with company matters, so work stress didn't seem to be the cause. If it wasn't work, insomnia was the only plausible explanation.
Lawrence sighed and said nothing more. They'd have to wait until Kristian woke up to get real answers.
When he finally did wake up, Kristian wasn't in the mood to talk. He finished his IV drip and immediately tried to leave.
Lawrence blocked the door. "You need a full check-up." "I'm fine," Kristian said, brushing past him.
"Kristian."
"You want to go back to Alerith, m right?" Kristian cut in. "There's nothing keeping you here. You can leave. I'm fine now."
Lawrence didn't budge. "You're not fine. And if this keeps, your mental el state wilbreak down sooner or later."
Lawrence paused before continuing, "And when that happens, how do you plan nonprotecting Freya? How do you make sure she stays happy?” That stopped him in his tracks.
