Chapter 0087
Paul waved his hand. I’m not in a rush to get it back.”
It was just a jacket. He had more in his closet.
“I just came back to grab a few changes of clothes. I’m heading back to the lab right after,” he said nasally. He was also wearing a mask. Just from the sound of his voice, Miranda could tell that he was down with a nasty cold.
“Wait,” Miranda said. She turned and headed back inside. When she returned, she had a thermos in her hands. “I made this cauliflower soup last night. Remember to
drink it while it’s hot.”
When Paul heard “cauliflower“, he frowned imperceptibly. Miranda didn’t notice and continued, “There’s also some over–the–counter cold medicine in the bag. The dosage is written on the box.”
Paul was typically healthy and rarely got sick. His hands paused at her words. For the first time, he felt the urge to give the thermos back.
However, Miranda added, “After all, you only got sick yesterday because of me.”
He retracted his hands again. Glancing at his watch, he realized that he was running late. “Thanks for the cauliflower soup and the medicine. I’ll have them.”

Miranda was lost in the world of academia, and her brain was running a mile a minute. Her hand never stopped as she took notes nonstop. At that moment, her phone rang.
Despite being slightly irritated that her thought process had been interrupted, she still put down her pen and answered the phone.
“Hello, Miranda. I really want to apologize to you for what happened yesterday. Still, there are some things I would like to say to you in person.”
