Mia Carter leaned over to open the car door, the movement causing her dress to cling to her figure.

The slight bulge of her lower abdomen was suddenly, undeniably visible.

Ethan Hale’s gaze shifted downward, landing on her belly.

An indescribable emotion melted into his heart, spreading through his chest.

‘Can you get up? I’ll help you.”

Mia leaned halfway into the car, reaching out to support him.

His arm moved slightly, avoiding her touch.

‘I can do it myself.”

Hearing this, Mia straightened up and moved aside.

Ethan climbed out of the car. His steps were weak and unsteady as he walked toward her apartment.

Mia closed the car door, grabbed her keys, and hurried past him to unlock the front door.

There are slippers here-”

She bent down to pull a pair of slippers from the cabinet.

Suddenly, her wrist was gripped by Ethan’s distinct, bony hand.

He crouched down, opened the cabinet himself, and pulled out the shoes.

Mia straightened her back and twisted her wrist, pulling away from his grasp.

I’ll get you something to eat. You can take your medicine after.”

She turned and went into the kitchen to heat up the nutritious porridge Nina Torres had left for her.

When she came back out, Ethan was already seated at the dining table.

Mr. Hale, eat first. I’m going upstairs to get a room ready for you.”

Mia set the porridge in front of him and handed him a spoon.

I’ll handle it myself later,” Ethan said, eating slowly.

‘No, I’ll take care of it for you.”

The displeasure in his voice was so thick it instantly filled the room.

The atmosphere grew awkward. Mia figured it was probably the comment she’d made to Nina-‘He’s such a

There wasn’t much to tidy up upstairs anyway; she had cleaned it once after Nina moved out.

Then please put your bowl in the sink when you’re finished. I’ll clean it tomorrow. I’m going to my room to rest

now.”

Mia turned to leave but suddenly remembered his medication.

She went to the foyer, grabbed the medicine, and popped out two tablets for his travel sickness. She placed them on the table and poured a glass of warm water.

Take these two in a bit.”

Ethan let out a noncommittal grunt.

Mia still felt uneasy. “Don’t eat the ones in the box.”

Ethan: “…”

If you feel unwell in the middle of the night, call me. I won’t lock my door.”

Mia suddenly felt she shouldn’t have brought Ethan here.

The doctor was afraid something would happen to Ethan at the hospital because the hospital couldn’t afford the

allout.

f something happened to him here, it would be even worse for her.

Her face was a roadmap of anxiety, clearly showing she was terrified he might die on her watch.

My fever has broken. My head is clear now.”

Ethan took a few bites of the porridge, set down the spoon, and swallowed the pills with the water.

Then, he stood up and headed for the second floor.

Mia looked at the half-bowl of porridge he’d left behind. What a waste. She was actually still a bit hungry but

adn’t gotten a chance to eat.

she dumped the remaining porridge, washed the dishes, and returned to her room.

On the way back, the feeling that having Ethan here was a bad idea only intensified.

der own discomfort was a small matter; the main issue was the trouble it would cause if anyone found out.

She expected to be up all night, tossing and turning with anxiety.

But after being run ragged for two consecutive nights, she was exhausted.

The moment her head hit the pillow, a wave of weariness surged over her, and she fell fast asleep.

Lila Hale was suffering through the tension every day, and she finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.
