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’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.

“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

the moon.
