Chapter 488 I Miss You Deeply

Lenora had a room arranged for Ezekiel right next to her own in the hotel. She had two bodyguards help Ezekiel onto the bed, remove his shoes, and ensure he could sleep peacefully.

She switched on the air conditioner, setting it to a comfortable temperature, then boiled a pot of water. She poured a cup and placed it by the bedside.

After accomplishing all this, Lenora was about to leave.

Suddenly, Ezekiel gripped her wrist. His eyes were tightly shut, his face flushed, and his brows slightly furrowed. It was as if he was dreaming of something heartbreaking. He murmured softly, "Don't... Don't go..."

Seeing this, Lenora sat down by the bed, softly comforting, "I'm not going anywhere. You just rest easy and sleep."

Frankly, the bond she shared with Ezekiel was more of a one-sided effort on his part. Whether it was in photography or during their time in Fairlake, even when it came to capturing Gaston, Ezekiel had always been there to lend her a hand. Yet, she found herself unable to reciprocate his help in any significant way.

Lenora had always held a deep sense of gratitude, viewing him as a kind-hearted older brother.

After their last encounter, she might have gradually distanced herself from him, but she wouldn't resent or hate him just because he chose to side with the White family.

He wasn't anyone to her, and he had no obligation to help her.

Relatively speaking, Zachary had put a lot of effort into this matter. Although part of it was for Johanne, she was still very grateful to him.

"Don't go..."

Ezekiel was still sleeping restlessly, his lips faintly moving as he muttered indistinct words in a feeble voice.

Bending over, Lenora pressed her ear closer and heard him mutter, "I miss you, Mom..."

As it turned out, he had dreamed about his mother.

Although he had never met his mother, he frequently heard stories about her from the people in the White family. Gradually, the image of his mother began to take shape in his mind. Lenora didn't know what to say.

She didn't want to take advantage of Ezekiel, yet she always felt something was off.

Ezekiel's brows furrowed tightly, his forehead covered in a fine layer of sweat, his grip tightening increasingly.

Lenora had no choice but to console him, gently patting his shoulder with her other hand. "Don't be scared. I'm here," she said.

"Mom..."

Whispering softly to himself, Ezekiel gradually drifted off to a peaceful sleep.

Lenora sat by the bed for a few more minutes, watching him sleep soundly. Once assured, she gradually withdrew her hand and tiptoed out of the room.
