Chapter 526: Out of Sync
The temperature began to rise, as if hot air was coming out of her body, wrapping around her and making the cold moon outside seem warm and cozy.
Ella let out a soft hum twice, responding enthusiastically to him...
Winter in Country W was particularly cold, and it had been snowing these past couple of days. The snowflakes floated gently down from the sky like light fluff. Little Dorian and his brother ran outside to have a snowball fight and build a snowman.
Eric spent the day with them, making this snow day meaningful for them, since it was their first time seeing snow.
Lucas walked over, and Ella nodded at him. But there was a lingering worry in his eyes. "Ella, what’s wrong?"
What’s wrong with her? She was fine!
"I’m fine, really," she said, slightly puzzled. "Why are you asking me that, Dad?"
The passion she shared with Eric the previous night had left her feeling a bit exhausted, so her energy wasn’t quite what it used to be.
"You’ve been off lately. In the past, if Elias and Dorian were playing with the snowman, you’d have joined them too. Ella, maybe you have some emotional scars. How about seeing a doctor?" Lucas gently suggested.
Ella was a little surprised but soon smiled. "I’m fine, Dad. I might have some mild emotional scars, but I’ll get over it soon."
She had been having nightmares every other night, and her lack of interest wasn’t because of anything serious—it was just that she was a little tired.
