Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 706

As the doctor was conducting the check-up, Katy sheepishly admitted that she hadn't taken her sleeping pill the night before.

The doctor paused, then asked, "And you slept through the night?"

Katy nodded. "I did! And I slept really well!"

This astonished the physician. "This is the first time in five years that you've been able to fall asleep naturally, without the help of sedatives." The excitement in his voice was palpable.

Noreen knew Katy had a special medical condition that required long-term medication, but she hadn't realized it was so severe that she couldn't sleep on her own and had to rely on custom-made sedatives.

After Katy left to wash up, Noreen spoke with the doctor to get more details about her condition.

He explained that Katy's brainwave activity was different from a normal person's—it was too active, which interfered with her daily life. It was something akin to what you might see in savants.

This news made Noreen's heart ache for Katy even more.

"Miss Gilmore, if you don't mind, could you cooperate with us on a test? We want to see if Katy's ability to sleep without medication is directly related to her being near you."

"Of course," Noreen agreed.

When Noreen and Katy went downstairs for breakfast, she noticed a few subtle changes in the living room. Several antique vases that were there before were now missing.

She didn't think much of it and led Katy to the dining room. A maid mentioned that Castle hadn't come home last night, but Noreen didn't inquire further.

As she was focusing on her breakfast, two maids were whispering to each other in the local Glenhaven City dialect, likely assuming Noreen wouldn't understand.
