Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 237

Chapter 237 Do You Have Even A Slight Liking For…….

Not long after Eric departed, the promised medication was delivered.

That same evening, Joy took it without any trouble.

While the medication worked effectively, it had an unexpected side effect: Joy was unusually lively.

By eight–thirty, when she would typically be asleep, Joy was wide awake, showing no signs of tiredness.

“Joy,” Hadley said, tapping gently on the bed. “Come and sleep next to Mommy.”

“Okay!” Joy climbed into bed, but her eyes remained bright, and she burst into giggles. “Mommy, hehe…”

“Still giggling?” Hadley was perplexed and slightly amused. “It’s bedtime now!”

“Haha…”

Joy’s laughter continued, and neither Hadley nor Melba could persuade her to calm down and sleep.

Just then, Melba’s phone broke the playful chaos with its ringtone; it was Eric on the line.

“Mr. Flynn,” Melba answered, noting the time.

“Hello.” Eric’s voice came through, filled with concern. He was restless in his bed, thoughts of Joy preventing him from finding sleep. “I had to check in. How’s Joy doing?”

Melba looked at Joy, who was bursting with energy, and said into the phone, “She’s very energetic tonight and

Joy, always sharp, perked up at the sound of the conversation and quickly sat upright.

“Let me talk to him!” she demanded eagerly, reaching for the phone.

“Of course,” Melba said with a chuckle, handing the phone to the little girl.

“Hello!” Joy’s voice rang out cheerfully.

Hearing her vibrant tone, Eric instantly felt a wave of relief wash over him; the medicine had clearly taken effect. He couldn’t help but smile warmly.

“Why are you still awake, Joy? It’s very late,” Eric gently, scolded.

“I’m watching the moon! It’s so beautiful tonight,” Joy replied, filled with wonder.

“Really?” Eric responded, his curiosity piqued. He walked over to his own window and gazed out, looking for
