On the way back, Gordon saw that Mayra would frown whenever the car started and stopped. She really was feeling sick, so he reached out and pulled
her close.
His family owned an apothecary, and he dabbled in medicine. He massaged an acupoint on Mayra’s hand. “Do you feel better?”
The driver said, “Hold on a while longer, young lady. We’re almost there.”
Mayra endured the cramps in her stomach and nodded.
Five minutes later, Gordon paid the cab driver and left with his arm around Mayra, who had a stomach ache. They walked into Paramount Hall. “Just endure it for a while longer.”
They walked into the backyard, and Emily saw them. “Gor-” The words died on her lips when she saw who he was supporting inside.
Emily’s eyes widened at once, filled with shock. She felt an intense jealousy burning inside her, and she stamped her foot in anger when she saw the two
Gordon took Mayra’s shoes off and put her in bed.
Then, he took her pulse and deduced that she was weak and suffering from gastrointestinal problems. “Didn’t you eat anything this morning?
“Wait for me.” Gordon ran to the kitchen and took a clean cup. He washed it several times before making some honey water for her.
Emily said, “Was that Mayra, Gordon? What happened to her? Lunch is ready. Shall I bring it to her later?”

After drinking the honey water, she looked noticeably better. Her complexion. was rosy once more.
When she finished the cup, Gordon put it down. “Do you feel better now?”
There were tears in Mayra’s eyes. “It still hurts a little here. Can you massage it for me?”

After a while, he asked, “Do you feel better now?”
Mayra almost laughed out loud when she saw how red the tips of his ears were. “Gordon, why are you such a nervous wreck? Your ears are already red.
Gordon saw that she was speaking at a normal volume and assumed that she was now completely fine. He pulled his hand away and got up. He went o
“Have some of this. I’ll go and cook. What do you want to eat?”
Mayra munched on some potato chips and nodded. “I like everything that your make.”
When Gordon was about to leave, she suddenly grabbed hold of the corner of his shirt. “Gordon… I thought that even you had abandoned me. “They didn’t even let me have breakfast there!
