Chapter 2518

Everyone expressed a few more words of concern, but once they realized Eugene needed to rest, they all said their goodbyes and

left.

Sylvia started to leave as well, but Eugene spoke softly, “Sylvia, would you stay witha little longer?”

She nodded. “Of course.”

After the others had gone, Sylvia walked over to his bedside, her brow furrowed. “I'm sorry—I didn’t know you couldn't eat

tomatoes.”

Eugene immediately shook his head. “Please, don’t apologize. It's my own fault; the smell was just so tempting. It's not your

responsibility at all. My mom exaggerates how bad it is. It's really just a minor allergy—just a couple of red spots.”

But Sylvia knew the truth—Vicky had said he'd had a high fever. That didn’t sound minor at all.

His voice rose, almost desperate. “I don’t want you to payback!”

“That's exactly why | feel even more uneasy,” she said. “If you had sulterior motive, | could just play along. But when you're

sincere like this, | can only keep my distance.”

She didn’t want his genuine affection to be misplaced—she’d been down that road before, and it only led to emptiness. She knew

how much that hurt and had no wish to inflict it on someone else.
