Bryan could not contain his excitement when he heard about the robot toy.


    He thus held Lilin’s hand and followed her.


    The balcony door in the bedroom was open, allowing a cool breeze to waft in from outside. Sophia


    closed it shut as soon as she walked in. “No wonder you caught a cold! You left the balcony door wide


    open on this cloudy day! You must’ve caught a cold from the draft!”


    Zachary looked calmly toward the balcony, wondering if he had forgotten to close the balcony door


    when he came in after his physiotherapy.


    It was a good thing that Sophia did not suspect anything. After closing the balcony door, she turned to


    help him onto the bed. “I’ll help you onto the bed and cover you with a nket so you can keep warm.


    The doctor will be here soon.”


    Zachary raised his hand and declined. “I’m fine. Don’t bother calling a doctor.


    You should go and spend time with your father. It’s been a long time since you’ve seen each other, so


    I’m sure you’ll have a lot to catch up with him.” Sophia shook her head and asserted, “It’s fine, Zachary.


    I spoke a lot with my dad on the way to the hotel. I’ll stay here to take care of you.”


    Zachary frowned. “I told you I’m fine. You don’t need to make such a fuss about caring for me.”


    Sophia was startled by his response. “But I’m just trying to show concern about you, Zachary. Why are


    you angry at me for that?”


    Zachary was not angry. He was simply annoyed at her. “Didn’t you see how upset your father was that I


    didn’te with you to fetch him at the airport? If you stay here with me now, he’ll only think you favor


    me over him. Don’t you think he’ll grow even less fond of me in the future? Will he still let you be with


    me?”


    Sophia’s mind went nk for a moment. She interpreted his reaction to mean that he was deeply


    concerned about the impression he made on Adam. “You’re thinking too much, Zachary. My dad will


    ept whatever decision I make.”


    “Whether I’m overthinking it or not, I still think it’s better for you to be with your father right now,”


    Zachary replied sternly. “And while you’re at it, tell him that I’ll have to refrain from going over to their


    room because I don’t want them to catch my cold. Please tell him not to take offense.”

    Sophia nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll do as you say. Get some rest, Zachary. I’ll have someone get you


    some cold medication since you don’t want to see a doctor.”


    Zachary acknowledged her answer with a soft grunt.


    Sophia gazed reluctantly at him for a moment before leaving the room. When she saw that her father


    and mother had left, she went to look for them in their suite.


    Zachary waited for Sophia to exit the door before wheeling over to lock the door shut. He then looked


    toward the bathroom and said, “Come out.”


    After a few seconds of silence, Corinne opened the bathroom door and stepped out. “How did you


    know I came?” “I remembered closing the balcony door,”


    Zachary replied calmly.


    Corinne nced at the balcony and shrugged her shoulders. “Looks like there’s another obstacle in


    your escape n now that Adam is here.”


    Zachary looked intently at her without thinking about anything else. “Why are you here at this hour?”


    Of all the times Corinne could havee, she just had to choose early that morning. The possibility of


    getting caught did not seem to scare her one bit!
