Bab 359: Not The Best Choice

Not just for her but for Julian as well. The man would choose to leave at one of the most pivotal times before the doctor came in to tell them such things.

Nothing could replace it, and it never attempted to try and leave on its own, no matter what type of distractions were used. Lena tried many after she couldn't sleep but found nothing satisfactory.
