Chapter 46 A Secret Sleepless Trouble
Zora had truly felt how dearly Jensen cared for her these days, and ske only wished that nothing bad would ever happen to him.
“I barely have trouble sleeping anymore Ever since I started using your calming herbal sachet, I sleep soundly every single night.
“But Leighton also suffers from insomnia. Could you take a look and see if you can help cure it p>
Jensen said plainly, making no effort to spare Leighton’s pride.
Leighton had suffered from insomnia ever since a certain incident years ago.
Many people lost sleep from staying up late, but his case was nothing like ordinary sleeplessness.
No medicine worked for him, and he could only fall asleep with hypnosis.
Still, he never told Chet about his condition, not wanting the old man to worry.
That was why Jensen planned to ask Zora for help.
After all, Chet had praised Zora’s medical skills.
Leighton was utterly speechless, silently wishing he could pretend not to know this meddlesome friend of
nis.
He’d only asked Jensen to quietly inquire about the herbal sachet, yet here Jensen was spilling every detail of his sleepless struggle without holding anything back.
Did he have no sense of dignity at all?
At the thought of Zora looking at him with disdain, Leighton dared not meet her eyes.
He feared he would catch some strange, teasing glint in her gaze.
He’d never guessed the calming sachet was made by this young girl.

He’d dropped by Jensen’s office the day before and caught a faint herbal scent coming from Jensen’s coat.
The soft fragrance was incredibly soothing.
Later, Jensen left for a meeting and draped his jacket over the sofa. Leighton sat down to scroll on his phone, and before he knew it, he’d drifted off to sleep.
When he woke up, Jensen was staring at him in total confusion, asking how he’d managed to fall asleep so suddenly.
Leighton had no clue himself.
A gentle, subtle aroma had drifted into his nose as he browsed his phone, and sleep had crept up on him unconsciously.

Chapter 46-A Secret Sleepless Trouble
Finished
Feeling Zora’s steady gaze on him, Leighton was overcome with an odd flutter in his chest.
The disdain in her stare was gone, replaced with quiet focus and a hint of soft sympathy.
It was strange, yet he couldn’t put his finger on why.
Much later, by pure chance, Leighton finally learned the real reason behind that look-and he was left half-amused, half-annoyed.
The girl had actually been looking at him the way one would comfort a pet dog.
“Hey, switch seats with me.” Leighton tapped Jett’s shoulder, signaling to swap places.
All their friends knew how terrible Leighton’s sleeping struggles were. It had long weighed on their minds, terrified that he might push himself until he collapsed without anyone noticing.
Jett didn’t hesitate and moved over right away.
“So how exactly are you going to check on me, Zora?” Leighton lowered his eyes to meet hers, smiling gently as he spoke.
Just hold your hand out to me,” Zora replied simply.
She could tell how much Jensen cared for Leighton, and she was determined to do everything she could to help someone her cousin held dear.
Leighton nodded and stretched his hand out toward her.
‘Zora, you’ve gotta take a good look at my condition. I’m counting on you to fix my sleep troubles entirely p>
Leighton’s voice was deep, mellow, and laid-back, his tone laced with his usual hint of amusement as he fixed Zora with a lazy gaze.
