Stephen gaven a nod and left the room. He did not forget to close the door behind. Ava nced atn for a second, then immediately closed her eyes,
After a while, he reached for the nket on the bed and covered her body.
The moment Ava felt the warm nket cover her body, she felt rxed. She feltfortable and warm.
She did not open her eyes, feeling losing consciousness slowly. It was due to her fever and headache.
She felt the bed dip slightly beside her. She could smell Jan''s scent,
Suddenly, she started to feel good inside. Maybe it was because of him.
Her heart skipped a beat when she feltn''s hand on her head.
His hand slowly moved to her forehead, checking her fever.
She wanted to sleep with his touch. It was so calming that she wanted to pull him toward her and sleep in his arms.
"Are you mad at me?"
Her breath hitched when his breath touched her ear. She had no idea how this boy had such the ability to make her feel like this even when she was ill.
"So mad that you won''t talk to me?"
His question and soft tone caused her to open her eyes.
She turned her head to look at him. He was very close to her face.
She pushed him lightly and took a deep breath topose herself
"You doubt me," she murmured.
"I can''t tell you how my blood boiled when he hugged you. I could see how you hugged him back. I was upset. You didn''t even want to sit with me. You were ignoring me the whole time. I thought he changed your mind."
Ava shook her head. She was about to say something but the door opened. She andn turned their heads and saw Stephen with his friends entering the room.
Ronald looked at Ava and said,
"Heard you are sick."
Ava nced at Ronald and shook her head. "No, I am fine."

Cyrus raised his hands to surrender and uttered,
"Okay, okay. Sorry, bro."
Paul walked toward the bed and asked,
"I heard you were mad atn because of Lily."
Ava felt embarrassed. She was so silly that she felt jealous of just a simple thing.
That girl, Lily was actually Paul''s girlfriend
"I thought..."
Paul smiled at her and said in an assuring tone,
"He can never think about any other girl because he really loves you."
"If you are all done with being my advocate, you can leave now. Let her take a rest."
Stephen moved towardn and handed him some medicines.
"I talked to the doctor. He told me to give her these. She is fortunate because we had these medications in our home. It''s because our mom is a doctor so we don''t need to worry I guess."
Han raised a brow. "If we had not had them, I would have called my family doctor to have them delivered here personally."
He sounded really dominant. All of his friends nodded their heads and decided to leave the couple alone.
Stephen turned his gaze at Ava and said,
"Maids are preparing porridge for you."
Ava shook her head, refusing to eat anything. She pulled her nket up to cover her head.
Others chuckled at her reaction, exceptn.
Stephen left the room along with others. He knewn would take care of Ava.
