Sophia then said, “Well, you don’t need to move then if you’re already lying down. I’ll ask the hotel staff
for a key and bring in the medication for you. The sooner you eat it, the better.” She then proceeded to
leave.
“Wait,” Zachary called out to her.
Sophia stopped and asked, “Yes, Zachary?”
Zachary replied, “Don’t trouble the hotel staff for a key. I’m already getting dressed. I’ll open the door
for you once I’m done.”
Sophia responded, “Are you out of bed already? Be careful, okay.”
Zachary exchanged nces with Corinne, and she wordlessly broke free from his embrace. Corinne
stood up, opened the balcony door, and left.
After Zachary closed the balcony door, he moved over to tidy up the sheets before undoing two of his
shirt buttons. He then went to open the door for Sophia.
Sophia scanned the room instinctively after she entered. Something seemed to be amiss, but she was
somehow unable to pinpoint what it was.
Zachary saw her ncing around and asked, “Where’s the medicine?”
Sophia looked at Zachary and was no longer suspicious after noticing the two unfastened buttons on
his shirt. She handed him the pillbox and said,” This is it.
Take two pills twice a day.”
Zachary epted it calmly and repeated her instructions. “Two pills twice a day.
Got it.”
Sophia reached out to touch his forehead. “Your fever seems to have subsided a bit. It’ll improve even
more if you take the medication now. I’ll get you a ss of water!” She then turned around and went to
fetch a ss of water.

Zachary looked at the medicine with a frown. He was perfectly healthy, so there was no need for him to
take the medicine. Sophia had persuaded him into taking numerous different medications over the
years, iming that they would help aid his physical recovery. However, he could feel his legs grow
weaker with every new medicine he consumed, so he stopped taking them.
It was only when Sophia was around that he would pretend to swallow the pills before spitting them out
again.
After discontinuing the medication for a while, he noticed his legs regaining some sensation. Since he
had people that he wished to protect and memories that he needed to recover, he was not going to let
himself remain crippled forever.
Sophia returned with the water. “Don’t space out, Zachary. Hurry up and take your medication!”
Zachary let out a soft grunt and took out two pills from the pillbox. He ced them in his mouth before
washing them down with the water.
Sophia’s satisfaction was evident as she watched him eat the pills. “This medicine is highly effective,
Zachary. You should be feeling better by tonight!”
Zachary nodded. “You’ve gone through so much trouble with the medicine. I’ve eaten them already, so
you can go spend time with your father without worrying about me.” “It’s fine, Zachary,” Sophia
reassured him. “I’ve exined that you were unwell, and he understands!” “That’s good.”
Sophia wanted to stay with Zachary because she had finally been able to get ‘Benjamin’ out of the way
that day. She intended to seize the opportunity to spend time with Zachary, even if it meant having to
care for him while he was sick.
When Zachary saw that Sophia was still there, he raised an eyebrow and asked, ” Why are you still
here? I’ve already taken my medicine.”
Sophia came to her senses and said, “I don’t have to spend that much time with my father, Zachary.”
Zachary frowned and said, “That is for him to decide, not you. You’re his daughter, so it’s your duty to
be with him. You ought to spend as much time with him as possible at least for today; it is his first day
here. Don’t worry about me.
Spend some more time with him on my behalf, too.”
Sophia could not argue with him because everything he said made perfect sense. She did not want to
upset him, so she turned and left the room again.
