Chapter 141 Shooting Oneself in the Foot

Sierra was crying again, and it made her wonder what was bothering her this time. It was quite a revelation. Her older sister, although looking delicate and gentle, was never one to cry so easily before.“Sierra, are you alright?” Paige asked worriedly.Sierra quickly wiped the tears off her face. Choking back a sob, she answered, “I-It’s nothing. Just some sand in my eye.”Paige was skeptical about her reply because she looked devastated. Besides, how could sand get in her eyes in a restaurant?However, so be it. Sierra must have her reasons for not telling her.In fact, Paige had a hunch about why Sierra was crying. Earlier, when she was grabbing breakfast, she had secretly observed Sierra and Chris having a conversation. Chris must have said something hurtful to make Sierra cry.

I’m not."Chris remarked, "I think you're waiting for something."Paige pressed her lips together.Chris could believe whatever he wanted. After all, he was in charge."Sleep," Chris said, pulling her close. "I’ve warned her.""Warned her about what?"

Chapter 145: Malnutrition

Yet now, Paige was having a bit of an attitude around Chris, a side of her that Randall had never seen before; and Chris, who usually appeared cold, was actually trying to comfort her.No, his coldness was not just an act. He genuinely did not care. When his former fiancée unexpectedly fainted in front of him, he did not flinch nor show any concern. Was that not the very definition of cold-heartedness? Any normal person would definitely have expressed concern if a stranger were to faint in front of them, let alone a former fiancée with whom he had a history with.However, that very man was very gentle toward Paige. Although Chris' face remained stoic and his words might not sound particularly comforting, As a man himself, Randall could sense Chris’ underlying warmth beneath his cold facade.Randall felt a pang of envy.As a fellow man, he had to acknowledge Chris' appeal. He understood why countless women found him irresistible, and when he did make an effort, how could someone l

Chapter 146 Waiting for Sierra to Make a Move

She just could not grasp today's beauty standards.While it was true that being overweight is not attractive or conducive to good health, being too thin had a similar effect.Sierra softly murmured, "I’m not dieting to lose weight... I just can’t eat. I have not had much of an appetite lately."After saying that, she glanced faintly at Chris.Paige was at a loss for words.Could Sierra not eat because of Chris? Was she lovesick?Chris did not even bother to look at Sierra.Ugh… What bullshit.He thought Sierra was acting like a lunatic right now.She used to be somewhat normal. No... Perhaps she was not normal before, either.After all, how could a normal woman do something like betray her fiancé?

Chapter 147 I Do Not Like Extremely Thin Women

Sierra had to make the move. If he acted and left any traces or evidence, his life was ruined.He desired both Paige and a successful life. A career and a beautiful partner were equally important to him. Therefore, he could not afford to leave any vulnerabilities that could be exploited by Chris.He had to wait for Sierra to take action, which was surely soon.It seemed he would not have to wait much longer.…Paige and Chris walked out of the hospital. Just outside was a street with various affordable restaurants. So, they chose a random restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and started eating.Although Paige was hungry, her appetite was lacking. Her sister's situation weighed heavily on her heart, making it difficult for her to eat despite her hunger.Chris noticed her eating very little and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Are you done?"Paige nodded and replied, "Yes, I’m full.""Ha," Chris chuckled with an ambiguous tone. He looked at her in a peculiar way, making her wonder w

Chapter 148 A Bag a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Chris had no patience for idle chit-chat and tugged on Paige to leave."What are you doing? Let me go!" Paige struggled in vain as she was led away.Sierra and Randall were speechless.Only the two of them were left in the hospital ward, staring at each other with wide eyes."Maybe... I could go take care of your discharge procedures?" Randall offered.Sierra shook her head.Leaving the hospital so soon would raise suspicions about her fainting being a sham.Randall stood up and said, "Alright, then. You rest up. I'll be on my way."Since Sierra said nothing, Randall left.Sierra bit her lip, feeling terrible. She was in a strange city. All alone in the cold, sterile hospital, with no one to keep her company. It was a desolate and heart-wrenching feeling.She understood Chris did not want to stay with her in the hospital, and she could not blame him. After all, he had no warmth left for her.Why did Paige have to leave, though? Well, she could not blame Paige entirely. I

Chapter 149 You Have a Fever

So...Could it be that Sierra was faking her fainting spell?The thought that her sister might be faking it hit Paige like a ton of bricks. She could not believe her sister would stoop so low to deceive her.While her sister was being examined, Paige was genuinely worried. If her sister was indeed faking it, her tears and distress were all an act that her sister could hear. Even though she knew how upset she was, her sister continued to pretend to be unconscious.Paige bit her lip, her face turning pale. She looked at Chris and said, "Sierra... she couldn't possibly be faking it."Despite Chris's reasoning and deduction, her desire to believe in her sister remained unshaken. She did not want to accept the idea that her sister could be capable of such deception.Chris watched the stubborn Paige and sneered. "Hmph..."Paige continued to bite her lip, resolute in her gaze. No matter what Chris said, she refused to believe her sister would do such a thing."I wonder how long you ca

Chapter 150 Taking Medication

Paige gazed at Chris, her eyes wide with concern. She asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?"Chris stared back coldly. "Are you cursing me?""I'm not," Paige replied, feeling unfairly accused. She had only asked if he was sick because she cared. How had it turned into a curse?It was like offering a dog a bone and getting bitten in return. Ungrateful."Are you cursing me with illness?" Chris pressed."I'm not," Paige defended herself. "You were the one who said you bought medicine for yourself. I was concerned about your health.""Concerned about me?" Chris raised an eyebrow, his gaze locked on Paige.Paige blushed and looked away, suddenly shy in his presence.Chris was taken aback. Why was she blushing again? Perhaps she had a fever."The temperature in North Cannes is different from Hevensforth. It's been getting colder, and I was worried I might catch a cold. That's why I bought some cold medicine in advance," Chris explained."Oh," Paige said, starting to underst
