Without delay, Zachary sprang out of bed, grabbed the first aid kit, and pulled out a thermometer to check her temperature.
It was a searing 38.6 degrees Celsius.
Moving swiftly, he scoured the medicine box until he found some fever–reducing pills. He mixed half a cup with hot water, gently coaxing Lenora to drink it.
Afterward, he dampened a towel, carefully wiping her forehead and neck. Setting the towel aside for a moment, he intended to wipe her underarms as well, lifting her thermal underwear to reach.
But the clothing was tight, and he couldn’t get access. He paused, contemplating, then decided to remove her thermal underwear entirely, reasoning that he was doing it purely for her well–being.
Surely, she wouldn’t hold it against me? My intentions were honorable, after all.
With a focused determination, he took up the towel again, tenderly wiping her underarms, arms, chest.
and
His eyes lingered a moment on the delicate hint of her fair skin beneath her clothing and the subtle curve of her slender waist.
Once he finished wiping her down, he pulled the blanket snugly around her, staying beside her bed to monitor her progress. Every twenty minutes, he checked her temperature and reapplied alcohol to her
skin
Only past four in the morning did the fever finally break, allowing him to release a heavy sigh of relief.
Exhausted, Zachary climbed into bed beside her, wrapping her in his arms. Yet as he closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of her body pressed close, he found himself wide awake. An unexpected yearning smoldered within him, consuming him with a heat he couldn’t ignore.
In her sleep, Lenora shifted restlessly, twisting and turning in his embrace. At times, her rounded hip would brush against him, amplifying the ache within him. As if fate conspired against him, she turned over again, and the single button on the back of her upper undergarment came undone, her shirt slipping
further down.
It was an inexplicable pull that had his hand move of its own accord, reaching out, his head instinctively leaning closer. Just as Harrietta had hinted, Lenora’s skin was enticingly soft and faindy fragrant.
Yet, thinking of her frail state, Zachary resisted his impulses. He simply held her closely, enduring the inner conflict until the first light of dawn.
Finally, Lenora stirred, her eyes opening with a groggy disorientation. Her head throbbed, her throat felt raw as if she’d swallowed glass, and her entire body ached.
She stifled a sneeze, feeling miserable.
Great, now I can’t even breathe through my nose. Guess I must be caught a cold.
Rolling over, she closed her eyes again, hoping to drift back to sleep.

Just as she was dozing off, she jolted awake, realizing Harrietta was sharing the bed with her.
No, I can’t risk getting her sick. I should send her to Zachary place for the next few days.
“Hattie…” she murmured, rolling over to reach for her. But the bed beside her was empty.
Here’s Hattie!

She blinked, glancing around in confusion, only to find that she wasn’t in her room. She was in the master bedroom of Galaxy Bay
Alarmed, Lenora sat up quickly, feeling a sudden chill on her upper body. She pulled the blanket to cover her chest, remembering last night’s hazy memories.
She had returned to fetch Harrietta from the ward, where the girl lay fast asleep. As she reached to rouse her, there had been a sharp pain at the back of her neck, and then everything had gone dark.
She recalled the last thing she saw–Zachary, standing behind her.
Did he knock me out? Why?
Rubbing her sore neck, she scanned the room, realizing with growing frustration that her clothes were howhere to be seen. Wrapping herself in the blanket, she raised her voice toward the door, “Is anyone there! Zachary?”
A few seconds later, Zachary entered, approaching the bedside. He placed a hand on her forehead, then removed it, seemingly content with her temperature. “Nora, you’re awake,” he said, his expression calm.
Lenora pulled back, eyeing him icily. “Did you knock me out on purpose? And where are my clothes?”
She couldn’t hold back the glare as she waited for his response, but he seemed entirely unbothered by her
frustration.
“You must be hungry,” he remarked, almost absently as he placed a hand over her forehead.
Lenora narrowed her eyes, irritation sparking.
Is he simply ignoring my question?
She repeated with insistence, “I asked why you knocked me out. And where are my clothes?”
Instead of answering, he said, “Miranda prepared breakfast for you. I’ll bring it here. You had a fever last night; are you feeling any better?”
“All I want are my clothes. I’ll go eat on my own.”
“Stay put, Tll go get you breakfast,” he responded, leaving without another word.
Lenora nearly screamed in frustration.
As soon as he was gone, she climbed out of bed, still wrapped in the blanket, and hurried to the wardrobe. But it was empty–completely devoid of clothes.
Shocked, she rushed to the door, pulling the handle, only to find it locked.

She scanned the room for a phone or any electronic device but found none. With a heavy sigh, she sat back on the bed, her face ilrawn with anger.
She understood now–Zachary intended to keep her here, as he had threatened the previous day. To make her his canary, forever bound to his side.
Her thoughts drifted to her phone, likely now in Zachary’s possession.
Sophia would have noticed her absence by now. Maybe he even used her phone to deceive Sophia. Lenora could only hope her friend would notice something was wrong.
Then, Lenora’s thoughts drifted back to Connor.
They had only just started dating, so naturally, he would have reached out. If Zachary saw that message…
The door opened again, Zachary stepping inside with a tray carrying a generous breakfast.
Lenora’s fingers tightened around the blanket as she glared at him, her voice firm. “Are you planning to keep me here against my will? You know it’s illegal to restrict someone’s freedom, right?”
“Eat something. He set the tray down, his tone nonchalant.
“Zachary! Stop acting like this. We’re divorced. Why can’t you let me go?” Her voice strained with
frustration
He looked at her and asked calmly, “Do you need me to feed you?”
Lenora could barely contain her irritation. Rolling over in the bed, her back to him, she grumbled, “I’m not eating.
“At least have a little,” he persisted. “You’re already we
“Well, maybe I’ll just starve until you set me free,” she muttered, her voice quiet but resolute. “It’s not like I have anything holding me here.”
Zachary fell silent for a moment, a hint of a smirk breaking through. “Nothing tying you here? What about your little boyfriend?”
Her shoulders stiffened.
Of course he knew about Connor. He must have seen the meage
“Not answering, are you?” His voice dripped with irony as he leaned over, placing a hand on her shoulder to press her back down. His face was inches from hers. “Weren’t you the one who agreed to a fair competition between him and me? Is this your idea of fair play?”
Lenora’s lips tightened, her gaze turning away. “It’s not like that.
She hadn’t planned it this way, Connor’s confession had come so suddenly. Accepting his feelings had seemed like the only choice at the time.
“So, you prefer him?” He confessed his feelings to you and you just naturally accepted?” Zachary questioned with a scoff.
