Chapter 728

Citrine was about to protest, insisting she didn't need the help, but seeing how determined he was, she finally closed her eyes.

Once her eyes were shut, Sebastian pressed his fingers a bit more firmly against her temples.

The cool touch of his fingertips circled gently, easing away the tension that had been throbbing at her head. Slowly, the discomfort faded, replaced by a soothing calm.

She couldn't help but ask, "Sebastian, have you ever done this before? You're awfully good at it."

"Maybe I'm just naturally gifted," he replied. Sebastian paused briefly at her question, unable to hold back a soft laugh.

Citrine let the conversation drop, surrendering to the comforting sensation of his skillful hands.

Watching as the tension in her brow melted away, Sebastian couldn't help but smile to himself.

As he continued, drowsiness crept up on Citrine, and before she knew it, she had drifted off to sleep.

He found himself studying her peaceful features, emotions surging within him.
