It was a hotel staff member, who brought Cordy her medicine. "Miss Sachs, if your symptoms aren't easing even after taking the medicine, you may call our front desk. We’ll provide transport to take you to the hospital."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Cordy closed the door.

She never had the habit of going to the hospital, and would usually recover from minor colds with just some medicine.

She boiled some water and took her medicine before getting in bed again.

She shivered as she curled into a ball under her blanket. She already had layers of those, and she was almost suffocating from the pressure.

She finally touched her forehead—why was this one so awful? How bad was her fever?

It had been two hours since she took the medicine, but she wasn’t sweating at all; her body temperature wasn’t decreasing either.

What was more, it hurt like hell.

Cordy eventually gave in—it was the first time she needed the hospital for a cold.

Picking up the phone, she called the front d

    The hotel guest continued to snap at Lucas. "It's just a lover's quarrel—do you really have to go that far? Young people these days really have no sense of responsibility or tact!"Lucas took a deep breath, but there was no explaining himself right now.Walking towards Cordy, he picked her unconscious body off the floor. The instant he did, he could feel that her body was ablaze.Was she trying to kill herself?Lucas quickened his pace as he carried her off.Cordy wasn’t fully unconscious in his arms, but her thoughts were muddled.She felt as if she was in a car, which was moving rapidly. At the same time, she felt a source of warmth beside her—she had been feeling cold the whole day, and was shivering no matter how many blankets she put over herself. Suddenly, a familiar sensation flared within her mind, and she wanted to get closer to it.Lucas frowned. Even as he carried Cordy into the car that the hotel arranged, he could feel her constantly pressing and rubbing her

    Lucas simply sat beside them as they worked, until the nurse turned towards him and instructed, "If she isn't sweating or the fever isn't breaking in half-an-hour, press this button to call us.""...Okay," he replied.With that, the nurse left, leaving Lucas alone and watching Cordy, whose little face was furrowed. Upon a closer look, he decided that she was attractive. He usually never looked at others so closely, especially women. In fact, he was a little sick of them. And yet, as he looked closely at Cordy and acknowledged her good looks, he decided that it was not surprising that she carried such confidence in the way she spoke to him. Still, he suddenly remembered the man she was clinging to just this morning, and ultimately kept his distance.He took out his phone, fiddling with it to kill time as he sat beside Cordy's bed.Half an hour later, he reached out to put a palm on her forehead. Perhaps because she had been sleeping on an ice pillow, but he felt that her

    Lucas promptly argued, "I'm not a relative."The doctor shot him a glare and asked bluntly, "Why are you dressed like a couple if she's not your girlfriend?"Lucas was so furious, he could take off his coat right there and then."Why did you bring her to the hospital if she's not your girlfriend?" the doctor pressed.Lucas was going to explain himself when the doctor added, "Weren’t you kissing her just now?”"I wasn't kissing her!" Lucas growled, agitated. Cordy knew that too, and she was awake when he leaned towards her.However, seeing Lucas getting annoyed made her feel happy. She even looked at him in disbelief on purpose.Lucas immediately sensed Cordy's gaze. "Why are you staring at me like that? Did you really think I'd kiss you?"Before Cordy could speak, the doctor said, "It's normal for couples to fight, but you should learn to compromise. How much is one’s ego worth, after all? You'll be regretting it so badly if she leaves you.""Look, I—""That's enough of tha

    Naturally, it wasn’t to say that Cordy’s impression of Lucas had improved.She simply didn’t find it necessary to be confrontational with him.Nonetheless, Lucas snorted with disdain. "Don't even think about it.""That won't do," Cordy retorted, and shrugged off her blanket to get to her feet.Although she was under the impression that she had gotten much better, she must’ve sweated so much that her vision blacked out abruptly the moment she got up; her body suddenly went limp.Lucas was close enough to react quickly, catching her just as she was about to fall.His hands were a little firm as he held her in his arms. Cordy felt the world spinning around her, but she soon recovered.The instant she did, she sensed her own body pressing against Lucas; she even felt his heart racing.In turn, her heart skipped a beat."You really are resourceful when it comes to bewitching men," he said, releasing her.All the warmth Cordy felt from his kindness was immediately doused by a bucke

    Lucas’s phone started ringing, and he answered it.After a simple exchange, he got to his feet and headed outside the ward.Cordy looked up at him, about to ask if he was going to leave—there was no way he’d be that nice and stay with her in the ward for an entire night.However, she didn’t ask her question since she saw that he really was in a rush. Whatever—they were ultimately strangers, and he could do anything he liked.Cordy shifted her posture as she read her phone.She basically slept after fainting and catching a high fever, and wasn’t sleepy at all now—it could be yet another sleepless night.Nonetheless, she tapped on her news app. She scrolled through the business section and found nothing of note, and then turned to the entertainment section. It turned out that Lucas actually made headlines since a lot of people were mesmerized by his good looks, with many fangirls commenting their infatuation on the article.Cordy wondered how many of them would give up if they

    Cordy walked towards the tea table and picked up the bowl of chicken soup, which was still warm.She just happened to desire something warm and filling like this, but she left half of it.She wasn’t sure if Lucas had eaten, but she definitely wasn’t finishing such a huge bowl on her own.She was still taking sips of the soup when Lucas stepped out of the bathroom, clad in expensive dark-green silk pajamas.Cordy had to admit that he had the looks to scorn the world, and somehow understood his disdain for others.She smiled ever so subtly—in the end, humans were shallow in nature."I saved half the soup for you. Do you want it?" she asked."Yeah," he replied, and walked up to her side. There was still steam swirling around him; he must’ve bought his own soap as well, since he smelled different.Comment by _ Lunaelle: Soup or soap?Comment by Bernard Choong: Soap is rightCordy shifted aside since both of them didn’t like to get too close with each other, though she must also

    Lucas turned to lay on his side, keeping his back to Cordy.Cordy followed suit; while she disliked his attitude, his words undoubtedly offered her slight relief.If anything happened between a man and a woman in the same room, she would be the one who stood to lose. As such, Lucas's words gave her a mysterious sense of security.The night was quiet, and Cordy seemed to hear Lucas's breathing assuming a steady, regular rhythm.He certainly fell asleep very quickly; when she thought about it, he really did put himself through the grinder tonight.Thinking about it that way, he wasn’t all that evil—despite his complete reluctance, he ultimately endured it, and somehow ended up as her guardian.Cordy turned around, since she really wasn’t used to sleeping in that posture.When she did, she found that Lucas had already turned as well. In his case, he was sound asleep even as he faced her. It was too dark for her to see his facial features clearly, but that was also the reason why

    Naturally, Lucas didn’t know who that person was, but he gave Cordy the benefit of the doubt—that she really had someone she missed.That, or her ability at seduction was far above the rest."I won't get upset with you. Let me go," he said, his tone now a bit milder. Cordy shook her head stubbornly, however, and kept holding onto him very tightly."You'd be gone if I let you go…" she murmured."I’ll stay.""No…" There was even a pout in her tone, and she was brushing her cheeks against his thigh.Lucas's heart skipped a beat.This accursed woman… Was she actually a succubus?!Lucas finally had enough. He had every intention to push her away, when he looked down and saw the satisfied smile on her face. His hand paused.He suddenly had this feeling that she carried an air of melancholy.He couldn’t quite describe it, but she was broken inside despite her tough exterior—once she was quiet or alone, she projected a sense of loneliness, as if she had been abandoned.

    Soon, another nurse emerged from the delivery room with a small bundle. "Is the mother's family here?""Yes!" John exclaimed loudly."The delivery was successful," the nurse said. "The baby weighs eight pounds—""How is she?" John asked in agitation, not caring about the child."She's fine. The doctor is just helping her clean up and she'll be out soon," the nurse replied.As John breathed a sigh of relief, the nurse reminded him, "Aren't you the father? Here's your child."John took the baby off her arms, staring at her for a moment as the others flocked around him. "Oh, she's so fair!" Zoe could not help exclaiming. "That's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.""Are you saying that your son's ugly?" Bob teased."To be honest, yeah," Zoe replied without thinking.Jay cleared his throat—even if it was a subjective opinion, it still hurt to have his own baby called ugly."Let me carry her," Zoe volunteered just then, and John did not hesitate to hand her his baby.As Zoe

    "What?!" Zoe exclaimed in shock.Beside them, John's face fell despite being usually stoic.Still, even before anyone could react, he scooped Cordy up in his arms and left.Zoe did not hesitate to follow, but Jay reminded her, "We're the hosts, Zoe.""Don't care." Zoe was completely unconcerned. "Ask my mom and your sister to handle the guests. I'm going with Cordy!"Jay hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow since there was no reasoning with Zoe.Sam and Quinn also realized that something was out of place.As they pulled away reluctantly, Bob shouted from below, "If you're done kissing, we're going to the hospital! Cordy's going into labor!"Quinn hurried after them as soon as she hurt, but Sam caught her. "Slow down. We can catch up."In fact, most of the guests were leaving as well—it was as if the banquet for Zoe's son was actually intended for everyone else.The poor boy was certainly unlucky to have such unreliable parents!-As everyone rushed to the hospit

    "I'm swelling from my pregnancy," Quinn explained. "It's not your fault."Sam was left staring at her for a while before asking, "So, what should I do?""I'll put it on when I slim down.""Oh." Sam was a little disappointed, since he had always dreamed of having her put on the ring he had custom made.But this was fine—they had all the time they needed, and the most important thing for him is that Quinn was marrying him!He rose to his feet just then, and everyone was cheering as soon as he did. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Quinn blushed right then, and Sam could see that she was embarrassed.He did not want to make things awkward for her, even if he was quite eager at the moment.Heaven knows how much he missed that night's drunken fumble they had. In fact, during the times he remembered it in dreams, he had to wash his pants when he woke up.Still, just as he took Quinn's hand and started to leave, he felt a softness on his lips—Quinn was kissing him! Sam's heart pounded thunderous

    Everyone waited patiently for the final outcome.Quinn's eyes were welling up with tears, threatening to gush if she so much as blinked.She did her best to hold back her tears—to be strong!Sam pursed his lips in turn, his Adam's apple bobbing.A long while passed, and it felt like a century for Quinn when she finally heard him say, "Yes."Quinn's tears started falling in happiness as Sam declared loudly, "I'll marry you, Quinn—it's what I've always wanted to do! I won't let you go even if you regret it eventually! You only get to be with me, and I'll never let any other man claim you! I'll become very overbearing… eventually!""I won't regret it," Quinn said, determined.She certainly would not regret marrying him!Zoe walked up to them with perfect timing just then, and Sam did a double take.He finally remembered that Zoe was the host of this luncheon and was going to leave with Quinn when Zoe whipped out a small red velvet box."You know what's in here, don't you?" Zoe a

    However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I

    Everyone in the hall was staring at Sam and Quinn, while Quinn took center stage, staring fixedly at Sam.He stood in the middle of the crowd, watching her silently.She in turn felt fear that he would turn and leave, just as she did not know if she had the courage to stand before him again and to declare her feelings for him in front of so many others.Nonetheless, amid the deafening silence, Sam suddenly walked toward the stage.His pace was slow as if his feet were made of lead, but he was also unusually determined.Quinn's heart raced uncontrollably right then!Everyone else was watching them nervously, especially Cordy and Zoe, with the latter being especially concerned that the cowardly Sam would bail.Fortunately, he was a man who showed responsibility. He would not leave Quinn alone and embarrassed.Hence, as everyone looked on, Sam stood before Quinn, his gaze flickering as their eyes met.He gulped ever so slightly, his emotions clearly ruffled even as he did his bes

    The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

    At the banquet hall, Jay and Zoe were thanking their guests with their children in their arms.Then, Zoe announced excitedly, "Please give my best friend, who is also my son's godmother, a warm applause as she comes on stage!"Sam stood at a corner of the hall, watching as Quinn walked up the stage, only realizing just then that her belly was clearly swelling despite her baggy clothes.Time flies—he had not left that long ago, but she and Ryan already had a child.She was not worried about giving him a stroke, was she?He watched as Quinn took the mic and looked around below searching, seemingly searching.After a while, he thought she was looking at him, but by the time he looked up, she had already turned away.Maybe she was looking for Ryan before remembering that Ryan was not there?Nonetheless, Quinn spoke into the mic, saying, "I'm honored to be chosen as the godmother to Zoe's son, and she's been saying he'd be engaged to my child if it's a girl. I already love my godson

    As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a
