But before she could finish, Anneliese turned to her and hurriedly said, “That’s alright, Jess. I’m done here, so let’s go.”
She reached to lift the covers, but Jessica froze when she saw Jonathan bending down to support Anneliese.
“I’ll go start the car,” Jessica answered before running off.
As Anneliese held onto Jonathan, she tried to insist she could stand, but her legs wavered weakly.
The next second, she felt herself being lifted effortlessly and ced back on the bed.
“We’ll leave after you’ve taken your medicine,” Jonathan muttered in a low voice.
He sat beside her bed, his presence ever–so–intimidating.
Anneliese instinctively drew her legs closer, slightly stunned as she gaped at him.
“Are youing with me?” she asked.
Jonathan raised an eyebrow, finding her question strange. “Why wouldn’t I?”
He hade precisely because of her–and it was just as well he did.
As he recalled her sinking into the icy water lifelessly, a storm brewed in his eyes.
Anneliese let out a small smile. “Alright.”
Selina wasn’t worth her time.
Perhaps her rtionship with Jonathan was nothing more than casual.
At that moment, Zion knocked and entered, carrying a ss of water with some fever medicine.
Jonathan took it and handed the pill to Anneliese.
She thanked him and ced the medicine in her mouth.

Just as she reached for the cup, Jonathan brought it to her lips himself.
While holding the cup in his hand, she drank the water along with the medicine.
“Drink more,” Jonathan said, not moving his hand.
Anneliese drank, letting him guide the cup.

Zion watched as his usually aloof boss fussed over Anneliese with such patience and care, and he couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.
Indeed, miracles truly existed.
Judging by Jonathan’s actions, he was a strong contender for the world’s best boyfriend.
Anneliese furrowed her brows slightly, full from drinking almost an entire ss of water.
Jonathan didn’t push her further and gently moved the cup away.
“What are you two-”
Just then, a woman’s voice rang from the doorway, clearly surprised.
Anneliese looked up and met Selina’s incredulous eyes.
Zion had forgotten to close the door, and Selina arrived just in time to catch Jonathan leaning over as he fed Anneliese her medicine.
She could hardly believe her eyes.
How could this cold, aloof, and proud man personally care for Anneliese?
She was a sly, beguiling fox!
Selina hurried to the bedside, forcing a friendly, concerned smile at Anneliese.
“Do you feel unwell, Anne? Let me take care of you.
“I invited Mr. Fullbuster to the banquet tonight, and he shouldn’t trouble himself with this.”
She tried scooting closer to the bed, but Zion immediately blocked her way.
“Ms. ude has fallen sick and needs some fresh air. Please don’t crowd around her bedside,
Ms. White.”

Meanwhile, Jonathan ignored Selina as he ced the cup on the nightstand.
He noticed a tiny drop of water glistening at the corner of Anneliese’s lips.
Without a second thought, he reached out and wiped it away with his thumb.
Selina’s pupils shrank.
She froze in ce, her face draining of color.
“You two know each other?”
She could not be convinced otherwise.

Anneliese and Jonathan seemed intimate with each other, almost as if the world outside didn’t
exist.
No two strangers would behave like this.
Meanwhile, Anneliese hadn’t expected him to do that.
His touch made her feel a strange, ticklish warmth.
Seeing Selina lose herposure, Anneliese felt rather satisfied, much to her own shame.
Jessica’s words seemed to echo in her mind again.
“We’ve known each other for a long time,” Jonathan replied, turning slightly as he answered Selina’s question without missing a beat.
Selina felt her mind go nk, and it seemed as though a bomb had exploded in her chest.
She recalled spotting a man who resembled Jonathan with Anneliese on several asions.
He was the one who celebrated Anneliese’s birthday and apanied her to the auction.
It turned out she hadn’t been imagining things.
It really was Jonathan!
Jealousy, shock, disbelief, and anger surged inside her.
She clenched her palm so hard it hurt, forcing a smile across her face.
“I didn’t know! Were you and Anne-”

Her words were cut off.
“Anything else?”

Jonathan sounded cold and detached, nothing like the way he treated Anneliese, as if he were someone else altogether.
