Josephine went for a check-up at a nearby hospital. The examination showed only skin swelling and a cut on the corner of her mouth. However, half of her face had become swollen, making her too embarrassed to see anyone. She didn’t want to see Ethan, as she wondered if he would find her appearance ridiculous and unattractive.

“I won’t eat dinner. I want to go home. D-Don’t bother walking me back. I’ll take a cab,” Josephine said as she held onto her swollen face and tried to leave quickly.

Seeing through her thoughts, Ethan couldn’t help but chuckle and ask, “What? Do you think I will find you unappealing because of your appearance?” She remained silent without responding, prompting him to state firmly, “I will only feel sorry for you, never disgusted.”

“I can’t face my parents right now. I’m afraid they’ll think I’ve been bullied outside, especially. if I tell my grandfather. I can’t go home.” Josephine quickly thought of this and looked at the man who didn’t mind her appearance. “Can I stay in your hotel suite for two nights until my swelling goes down?”

“Of course,” Ethan replied, thinking he needed to buy a villa as soon as possible. He couldn’t keep letting this girl stay in the hotel with him forever.
