Zachary closed his eyes, smirking as he felt his heart turning colder. I knew it. I’m nothing to her. She can’t even bear to spend an extra second by my side.

Seeing Zachary closing his eyes, Lenora shrugged resignedly and stood up. “Well, I’m off then. Take good care of yourself.”

Zachary’s eyes were tightly shut, his large hand clenched, gripping the bedsheet firmly.

The dormant kindling in his heart was once again doused with a layer of oil by Lenora. A mere spark was enough to ignite it, leading to an uncontrollable and intense blaze.

It was as though a massive amount of dense smoke was gathering in his atrium, threatening to explode at any moment.

She’s truly cold and ruthless to me! Yet, I still want her to stay! Just as Zachary was about to speak, a sudden wave of intense pain surged through his stomach.

He coughed, followed by dry heaving.

Lenora halted in her tracks and turned around. She saw Zachary sprawled weakly by the bed, a faint trace of red at the corner of his mouth. Against his pale face, the hint of crimson was startlingly vivid.

His complexion was pale, and he appeared fragile, as if he would break at the slightest touch.

A knot formed in Lenora’s heart immediately. She hurried back to the bedside, gently patting his back, and asked with worry, “Zachary? How are you feeling now?”

Zachary took a deep breath, his eyes reddening slightly.

He leisurely took a tissue from the bedside, wiping the corner of his mouth before tossing it into the trash. He brushed off Lenora’s hand from his back, turned to lie flat, and gave her a brief, indifferent glance. Pulling his gaze away, he uttered in a deep voice, “It’s none of your business.”

Lenora was speechless. He sure is stubborn. I bet his mouth can hold up even the sky if ever falls down one day.

Lenora scanned the surroundings, picked up the water jug from the table, and poured a cup of water before handing it to Zachary, saying, “Rinse your mouth.”

Zachary glanced at her and wordlessly accepted what she offered. He took a sip, swished it around in his mouth, and then spat it into the trash bin beside the bed. He casually set the cup down on the bedside table.

“Zachary! You’ve drawn blood with your needle!” Lenora caught a glimpse of the small amount of blood drawn back into the syringe on the back of his hand.

She quickly reached out, gently laying his hand flat.

His hand was cool to the touch, thin and bony, somewhat unsettling.

Lenora adjusted the angle of the drip tube slightly, regulating the speed of the IV drip. As she watched the blood slowly return to the veins, she carefully placed his hand back under the blanket.

Zachary watched her silently as she went about her actions. The fire within his heart was abruptly extinguished. He lowered his gaze, a smile subconsciously tugging at the corners of his lips before

Lenora was speechless and couldn’t help but glance at Zachary.

Her gaze unintentionally met Zachary’s.

Immediately, Lenora averted her gaze, emptying the shards of glass from the tweezers into the trash bin.

Zachary said lightly, “It’s nothing.”

Her eyes twinkled. “I get it now. You must be missing Aunt Lenora. I saw a saying on television, ‘One day apart seems like three years. Now that I think about it, you haven’t seen Aunt Lenora for quite a few years now. That’s why you miss her so much and don’t want her out of your sight…”

“Harrietta!” Lenora put on a stern expression. What kind of television drama does she usually watch? It feels like she knows more than adults despite her age.

The smile on Harrietta’s face froze for a moment before she closed her chatty little mouth, touched her index finger, and said in an adorable voice, “Uncle Zachary, you’ve lost so much weight. My heart aches for you. Once you recover, you’ll be back to your old self. Uncle Zachary, let me pour you some water!”

She went over to the table and picked up another cup. She filled it with water from the dispenser and handed it to Zachary, saying. “Uncle Zachary, here you go!”

“Thank you, Hattie.” Zachary took the cup of water, swirling it lightly in his hand. “Hattie, how has it been living with Lenora these past few days?”

“She’s been so kind to me,” Harrietta hummed as she clambered onto the bed. “Yesterday, she took me to an art class…”

The girl began to recount the amusing incidents from the past few days animatedly.

Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, causing her to change the topic. “Uncle Zachary, Mr. Levine mentioned that you had a stomach bleed. Is your stomach in any pain?”

Zachary gently shook his head and took a sip of water. “No.”

“It’s not Did a ghost spit out this blood?” Lenora asked.

Zachary touched his nose. “It doesn’t hurt too much…”

For some reason, when he heard Lenora’s stern words directed at him, he didn’t feel anger. Instead, a subtle, inexplicable sense of joy was stirring within him.

He felt as though, at that moment, Lenora was the one close to him, no longer unreachable.

He also felt as though he and Lenora were an ordinary couple, with the wife chiding her husband.

“Uncle Zachary, you spat blood? Let me rub your tummy for you!” Harrietta’s small face was etched with worry as she extended her chubby little hand to rub Zachary’s abdomen.

Her strength was minimal. To Zachary, it felt like a mere tickle.

He flashed a grin, grasping Harrietta’s petite hand. “I’m not in pain.”

“Uncle Zachary, are you going to have surgery?” Harrietta asked with a worried frown. “Mr. Levine said you’re going to have a stomach operation. If they remove your stomach, does that mean you won’t be able to eat anymore?”
