NovelOnlineChapter 1503:
Elissa hesitated, struggling to find the right words. “I honestly don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” he repeated, his jaw tightening. His gaze hardened, suspicion flickering in his eyes. “Elissa,
what did you just promise me? And now you're lying to protect him again?”
“No! I'm not!” she cried, panic creeping into her voice. “That day... | was just asleep in my bed. When | woke up,
this scrape was just there—I didn’t even notice it until later. | swear, | don’t know how it happened...” Her voice
faded into a whisper.
She cast him a nervous glance, afraid he'd see her story as nothing more than an excuse.
“I know it sounds ridiculous,” she added, “but it's the truth.”
Ernest studied her for a long moment—quiet, unreadable. Then his expression softened. He gave a small nod. “I
understand,” he said gently. “And | believe you.”
Elissa blinked, stunned. She hadn't expected him to believe her so readily. Ernest hesitated, a flicker of tension
passing through his eyes. “You have a sleepwalking condition. Were you aware of that?”
Elissa’s breath caught. Her head shook instinctively, eyes wide with confusion. “I figured as much.” His tone
carried no surprise—only calm affirmation. “While you were staying at the sanatorium, Laney noticed it. She saw
you walking the halls in the middle of the night.”
He gave her a moment, letting the truth settle like dust in the still air. “I think it’s connected to Locke... and the
memories you've buried.”

“Elissa,” her nfell from his lips like a soft sigh. “I consulted with a doctor,” he continued. “Considering
everything you've endured... therapy is no longer optional. It’s necessary. Before, | held off. Your eyes were still
recovering, and | didn’t want to add another burden. | thought—maybe it could wait. But it can’t. Not anymore.”
He gestured toward the wound at her temple, the bandage still peeking out from behind her hair. “This time, it
was a minor injury. Next time? You could fall. Hit your head. Walk into traffic.” He looked at her, his eyes dark
with unspoken fears. “What if no one’s there to help?”
Elissa pressed her lips into a thin line, her silence betraying that she knew—he was right.

“I know someone good,” Ernest said gently, his voice threading through the quiet like a promise. “A doctor |
trust. I'll make the arrangements and go with you to the appointment. How does that sound?”
Agreeing would mean more than just getting help—it would mean tying herself closer to him again. And wasn’t
that what she was trying to avoid?
Ernest noticed the flicker of doubt in her eyes and leaned in, seizing the moment.
