"Ethan . . . "

Abruptly stopping from his tracks, Ethan couldn't believe what he just heard .

Did she . . . did she just called his name?

"Ethan . . . " There is it again!

Turning around, he saw Lillie, with tears streaming down her emerald green eyes .

Ethan felt something squeezed his heart as he saw Lillie's rare, tender expression .

He watched as how Lillie would stared at him with glistening eyes, staring directly into his soul .

"Don't leave me . . . " She softly cried .

'Squeezzeee'

His heart . . . it hurt so much . It feels like there's a hand grabbing it harshly and squeezing it from its place .

He really didn't want to leave her . He just wanted to call someone to call the doctor .

"I won't leave, I just need to call for—"

"No! Please, Ethan, don't leave me . . . " Her tears welled up furiously and dampened the bed sheets .

Ethan was like a headless chicken as he frantically came to her side, untying her binds and hugged her .

This was the first time he tried to comfort anyone, not even his little sister when she cried when the game 'Nightingale' was sold out .

He had personally contacted Lillie's company back then just to have them develop one more game, no matter the price .

Ethan caressed her soft and fragrant hair, whispering sweet nothing into her ears .

"Shh . . . don't worry, I'm not leaving . " Ethan's positive that Lillie could hear how fast his heart beats because her head is literally on his chest .

Lillie finally stopped crying, thought she is still sniffing . She seemed to have finally calmed down .

Ethan stealthily moved his head down to see if she fell asleep .

Oh . . . her eyes are wide open .

"Your heart is beating like crazy . " Her voice indicates that she is already quite sober .

Ethan felt his ears turn red from shyness . He coughed and said, "I got tired from tying you . "

Wow, great excuse Ethan .

Her eyes were still hazy but her conscious is slowly turning back . "Why did you tied me?"

"You went crazy . " He bluntly said .

" . . . oh . "

After a few moments of silence, Ethan felt heavier . Finally, Lillie fell asleep .

He gently placed her on the bed and covered her body with the quilt . Her fever has miraculously cooled down even without medication .

Don't underestimate the power of natural cure for cold, body heat . [1]

Ethan found a servant roaming around the halls and called her . He asked her to call for a doctor .

The doctor came and checked on Lillie's pulse before giving her some medicine .

"Her body is quite sensitive to the cold . I'm guessing you've been soaked by cold water for about an hour . " The doctor explained, scolding Lillie for being careless .

Lillie nodded, she didn't know how long she'd been soaked in cold water . She must've been really tired and immediately fell asleep at the bathtub .

"She's not allowed to eat any cold food . Don't allow her to work or stress herself, she need a lot of rest . " The doctor no longer mentioned that she's been over fatigue and have not slept properly .

The doctor told everything Ethan needs to know about Lillie's cold and gave him the medicine Lillie needed, a.s.suming that he is her husband .

"You should listen to your husband, Madam . I'll leave everything in his care . " Lillie didn't correct him and let it slide .

"Thank you for coming, Doc . " Ethan bowed in grat.i.tude .

Haruka also thanked the doctor for coming and saw him off .

Lillie was left alone with Ethan, whom had a very serious expression . Feeling uncomfortable by his gaze, Lillie s.h.i.+fted and lie down, covering her head .

"You've been careless . " Soft footsteps came near her bed . Lillie felt her body moved as the bed sank when Ethan sat .

"Two more days left before we go back home . Spend those days to recuperate . " Lillie was silent .

Sighing, Ethan caressed her head before leaving her alone to rest .

Hearing the door closed, Lillie moved the quilt off her eyes and stare at the place where Ethan's figure disappeared, with longing gaze .
