Listening to Sandy, Yanis chuckled lightly. "That's because Mr. Hawkins didn't do anything. If he actually did something, would you spare him?"
Sandy was caught, and she smirked. "So, my judgment is pretty good, huh?"
Yanis didn't argue with her and played along. "Yes, you have the best judgment."
"Yanis, your judgment is great too. Mr. Lawrence cares about you so much, he practically wants to give you the whole world."
Yanis chuckled in response. "True, he's like a rare gem that can't be found with a lantern. Yet, I managed to find him."
As Yanis finished her sentence, they heard the sound of a key turning in the lock.
Following the sound, Yanis looked towards the door and saw Zane entering. She waved at Sandy and hung up the phone before Zane entered the room.
After putting the phone down, Yanis walked over to the door and leaned against the side, watching Zane change his shoes. He set down his belongings and opened his arms when he saw Yanis, and she immediately pounced on him. "Are you tired?"
Zane hugged her back. "Not tired, were you waiting for me?"
Yanis didn't deny it. "Are you hungry? Should I make something for you?"
Zane kissed her forehead. "How about you cook me a bowl of noodles? The food Albi ordered for me earlier wasn't that great."
Yanis nodded and released Zane. She walked to the kitchen while speaking. "You go take a shower and change. I'll be ready soon."
Zane agreed and followed her into the kitchen, despite her instructions.
Yanis noticed his presence and turned to him. "Why did you come in?"
Zane approached her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "I wanted to spend a bit more time with you. I didn't see you all day today."
Yanis smiled, not resisting his embrace. She allowed him to cling to her like a large pendant.
Yanis quickly cooked the noodles and served them. "Let's eat?"
Zane nodded and took the bowl from her, walking to the dining table in the living room. Yanis followed him and sat down. "Go ahead and eat."
Zane seemed quite hungry, as he quickly finished the entire bowl of noodles, including the soup. After finishing, he took the dishes to the kitchen and even cleaned up himself.
Yanis watched him tidy up from the dining room. Her mind drifted back to the unsettling nightmares she had earlier. Wrinkling her brows, she couldn't help but frown.
In her dream, she had seen Zane. He appeared to be fighting with a group of people, struggling and eventually collapsing beside her, covered in blood...
"Zane."
Suddenly, Yanis called out his name.
Zane looked up, putting his things in order. He walked out of the kitchen and crouched in front of her. "What's wrong?"
Yanis didn't speak. Instead, she hugged him tightly. "Zane, can you carry me upstairs?"
Without asking questions, Zane picked her up and headed upstairs. In the bedroom, Yanis released him. "You go take a shower; I'll wait for you to sleep."
Zane agreed, gave her a quick kiss, and went into the bathroom.
Yanis stood there, gazing at the bathroom door, listening to the sound of water, and even hearing the irregular beating of her own heart.
When the water finally stopped, Yanis immediately got up and stood at the bathroom door. Zane opened the door and was surprised to see her standing there. He took a step forward. "What are you doing there?"
