Ken looked up sheepishly and asked, “Mr. Dros, would you like some more food?” 

Orion’s cold gaze swept over him, and Ken quickly shut his mouth. 

Okay, it seems his boss wasn’t hungry. Ken figured he might as well eat the rest himself. 

Back in her room, Seraphina glanced at a photo Emeris had taken of her and Orion. They were standing on the bridge, with a backdrop of brilliant fireworks lighting up the night sky. She was gazing at the flowing river, while he was gazing at her. It was as if time had stopped, an eternity captured in a single 

moment. 

She thought she understood why Emeris had taken that photo. Emeris had softened his stance, but not hers. 

Maybe everyone had overdone it the night before because they all slept in the next morning. Outside, the rain continued to fall, a light, persistent drizzle that was soothing but unrelenting. 

Perhaps due to the weather, Orion suddenly came down with a high fever. Ken was the first to notice. After a few hours of the doctor’s efforts, Orion’s fever finally broke. 

He couldn’t go out in the rain again. He lay in bed, weak and pale, his face completely drained of color. He looked fragile–too fragile. 

Emeris expressed concern and visited him multiple times to ensure his well–being. When Orion was conscious, his voice was low and hoarse. 

“Honestly, a little rain wouldn’t hurt. If you’re bored, Mr. Cross, I can arrange for a car to take you around to see the sights.” 

Emeris patted him on the shoulder and said, “Forget it. You’re not feeling well. I’m worried I might catc the fever myself.” 

Orion was speechless. 

His gaze swept around the room, but there was no sign of Seraphina. His expression grew a little downcast. 

Emeris coughed a little and said, “Seraphina mentioned she wanted to visit the school and then attend a reunion with her friends from Frencette. She’s getting ready to leave now.” 

Orion’s eyes flickered and he coughed a little. 

“She should take Ken with her.” 

Ken was stunned. He instantly caught on to Orion’s intent. 

Emeris hesitated. He was unsure why Ken’s presence would be necessary. 

When he thought about the recent attack Seraphina had faced, he decided it was better to be cautious. An extra person was always better than none.

Ken nodded cagerly and said, “Don’t worry, no one will dare lay a finger on Ms. Cross with me around.” 

After saying that, he dashed out of the room. 

Seraphina finished packing and walked out, only to find Ken standing by the door. 

She frowned and asked, “What are you doing here?” 

Shouldn’t he have been taking care of Orion? 

Ken stepped forward with a smile and bowed slightly as he spoke. 

“Mr. Cross is concerned for your safety, so he sent me to accompany you.” 

Seraphina clicked her tongue and asked, “You’re protecting me?” 

She found it hard to believe, but Ken looked so sincere that it didn’t seem like he was lying. 

Why would Emeris send him along? 

Ken smiled confidently, lifting his chin slightly. 

Orion didn’t like having bodyguards around. Therefore, as his assistant and driver, Ken had undergone professional combat training. It was essential for him to be prepared to handle any situation that might arise in Orion’s presence. 

Seraphina twitched the corners of her mouth. She said, “Fine, tag along if you want.” 

With that, she turned and left without looking back. 

Ken hurried to keep up. 

The light drizzle tapped softly against the car windows. The shadows of trees swept by as the car glided smoothly along. Ken drove with steady hands while Seraphina sat in the back, checking her latest 

messages. 

She didn’t have many friends in Frencette, and even fewer with whom she stayed in contact, but they had never grown distant. 

When they arrived at the school, Seraphina took in the surroundings. The campus exuded the Etopia style, an ancient and profound academic atmosphere. Every corner of the familiar campus seenery reflected the rigorous and refined vibes. 

Though she hadn’t attended university in Frencette, she had followed her professor here for her doctoral studies. She also expanded the company’s market there, leaving behind many memories. 

She paused in front of a small, unassuming yet elegant building at the back of the school. 

Turning to Ken, she said, “Wait here. I’ll be back after I meet with my advisor.” 

Ken’s face contorted in hesitation, but he clenched his jaw and nodded.
