Chapter 351 351: Are you sure we are trusting the right man

After using the restroom, Erna completed her nightly routine and got into bed beside Jonathan.

Her moderate headache was making her hiss intermittently, which led to grabbing Jonathan's attention.

"What's the matter? Don't you feel good?" Jonathan inquired, observing the anxious expression on her face.

He reached out his hand and caressed her forehead. "You seem to have a mild fever," he replied, peering at her with concern.

Erna dismissed his worries with a smile. "Don't worry, it's just a mild headache. I'll have the medicine and it'll be gone in no time," she said, turning to take it from the side table drawer.

She quickly gulped it down and lay down on the bed.

The weight had been pressing on Erna's mind for some time, but she chose to disregard it, assuming it would eventually lift. Nonetheless, it seemed to deteriorate over time, necessitating medication.

"Are you sure it's not that serious?" Jonathan, dubious, inquired.

Erna smiled. "No, I am completely OK. Now go to sleep," she urged, pulling his arm, and Jonathan carefully lay down next to her.

Turning slightly, he switched off the lights and drew the comforter up, securing Erna beneath it.

"Good night," he murmured, putting a gentle kiss on Erna's forehead.

"Good night," she murmured, her eyes slowly shutting as the drug took effect.

Ella left the house early the next morning and drove to the designated meeting point.

She entered the restaurant as soon as she arrived, only to discover that the person she was looking for was already waiting for her.

"Mr. Denovan seems quite eager for the meeting," she remarked sarcastically, pulling a chair for herself to sit across from him at the table.

"Why wouldn't I?" After all, you finally decided to accept my offer," Jedrick continued, his eyes piercing yet serene, as if anyone gazing at them would be misled by his grin.

Everything that came from him was crafty. He possessed a sinister demeanor that had the potential to devastate everyone. However, she did not fall for it.
