âHave you fallen ill?â Tina asked with concern.
âWhat ifâ¦I really am sick?â Chandler murmured.
âThen of course we need to treat it!â Tina said matter-of-factly. âWhat kind of illness is it? Is it difficult to cure?â
âItâs not particularly difficult, but without a specific medicine, itâs hard to treat. However, if we find the specific medicine, itâs easy to cure,â Chandler said.
âSoâ¦have you found the specific medicine?â she asked with wide eyes.
He stared at her for a while before saying, âYes, I have.â
But he couldnât tell her directly that the medicine he found was the placenta of their future child!
They had to have a child!
If he told her this, how would she react?
He was afraid!
Yes, afraid!
There were few things that could make him afraid, but this was one of them.
When you care more and more about someone, you become more afraid of losing them.
âThatâs good then!â Tina breathed a sigh of relief.
âAlso, itâs very late today. Iâll have someone arrange for you to stay here for the night and send you back tomorrow morning. But tonight, you need to stay in the room and not wander around,â Chandler said.
âCanât I stay here for a few more days?â Tina asked. She had taken a few days off from school for this trip.
âBe good and listen to me,â Chandler said.
Tina pouted, feeling like he was still treating her like a child.
âThen Iâll just sleep in this room tonight!â she suggested as a compromise.
After some thought, Chandler said, âOkay, you can stay here tonight. Iâll sleep in another room.â
âWhat?â Tina was surprised. She wanted to sleep in the same room as him.
If he went to another room, what was the point of her staying in this one?
âWhy do you have to go to another room? Canât we just share one room? I promise I wonât do anything to you tonight!â she said, suspecting that he was worried she might make a move on him.
âHunter is conservative. Although weâre engaged, weâre still unmarried, so itâs best to sleep in separate rooms. When we get married in the future, even if you want to sleep in separate rooms, I wonât allow it,â
Chandler explained.
Tina blushed slightly at the thought of what they would be like after they got married.
In the end, Tina followed Chandlerâs advice and slept in another room.
Hunterâs servants were clearly curious about her and couldnât help but stare at her when they saw her.
That night, Tina couldnât sleep in Hunterâs guest room.
I just canât fall asleep!
Being in an unfamiliar environment, especially this room which is far away from Chandlerâs room, makes it even harder.
Itâs like Hunter purposely arranged for her to be so far away!
Speaking of which, she came here because she listened to Weldon and wanted to see the real Chandler.
But after coming here, besides finding out that Chandler is sick but has medicine and itâs not a big deal, there doesnât seem to be anything else!
Oh, wait!
Tina suddenly shuddered. Because so much has happened, she forgot to ask Chandler about what the servant said regarding a previous incident where a servant went in while he was taking a bath and came out with abnormal behavior.
