He just found her overly adorable in that moment.
Angrily, Loraine bit her lips. Although she lashed out at him, embarrassment washed over her so heavily that she
wished the ground would swallow her up.
She hadn't expected that after such a lengthy argument, her hunger would humiliate her in such an
embarrassing way!
Marco's gaze softened as he gently asked, “What would you Like to eat?
I'LL have it arranged right away.”
Loraine turned her head, clearly sulking. It was evident she didn’t want to respond.

But Marco was very patient. He simply stood there and waited. As he had mentioned earlier, he was comfortable
with silence. But he wouldn't leave until she provided an answer.
In her sulky mood, Loraine listed a series of high-end restaurants and their signature dishes. It was clear she was
trying to make things hard for Marco.
Marco's brows knitted together as he hesitantly said, “Your fever has just subsided. The doctor advised you to
eat Light food.”
At this, Loraine couldn't help but laugh and playfully retorted,
“Didn’t you just say you would listen to my words?”
A man’s promise, indeed, could be quite deceptive.
Stunned, Marco didn’t counter her statement. He merely sighed, turned around, and exited the ward.

After sending Marco away for the moment, Loraine exhaled a heavy breath of relief.
Each interaction with Marco seemed to cloud her thoughts, inexplicably muddling her mind, making it impossible
for her to react sensibly.
Loraine’s gaze fell, her silence continuing to reign. She seemed cast under a gloomy cloud.
With Marco's departure, the girl in the neighboring bed poked her head out. With a blink and a curious upward
gaze at Loraine, she nestled her face in her palms and asked, “Miss, what caused your disagreement with that

A complex expression etched itself on Loraine’s face and she struggled to find her words, a bitter feeling swirling
inside her.
Witnessing the sight before her, the young girl let out a weary sigh, as if she had seen it all before.
“Well, I don’t know what's going wrong between you and him, but from what | see, | feel that man really loves
you. At the very least, he’s kind to you, right? Could this whole thing with Keely be just a mix-up? Why not give
him a chance to clarify things?”
A lump formed in Loraine’s throat and she couldn't help but let out a sigh.
How was she to explain to this little girl the layers of resentment and emotional conflict that stood between her
and Marco? How could she voice out that she had once been deeply in Love with Marco, only to watch him
choose Keely over her tand again?
