Chapter 42 A Sense of Foreboding

These past few years had been too comfortable, and her vigilance had dropped. It was alarming how deeply she had been sleeping just now. Fortunately, she woke up in time. If that punch had landed, it would have caused trouble for sure.
• Yvette breathed out slowly, casually asking, "I just had a dream… What were you doing?"
• Seeing her gaze become alert again, Lance stepped back, speaking in a deep voice, "What were you thinking? I just brought you back to your room, seeing that you've fallen asleep."
