Lenora gestured toward the bathroom inside the room. "I'm done. You can go freshen up now."

Zachary picked up his pajamas and walked into the bathroom.

The scent of shower gel wafted throughout the bathroom, where wet and dry areas were distinctly separated.

That was the scent that lingered on Lenora's body.

Lenora was sitting on the bed, casually scrolling through her phone. Just as she was about to sleep, she suddenly realized that Zachary had been in the bathroom for quite some time, yet she hadn't heard the sound of water. Lenora was doubtful. She lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and walked to the bathroom door. From within, she faintly heard heavy panting,

A few seconds later, Lenora suddenly realized what Zachary was doing inside. Her face flushed crimson in an instant, and she hurriedly ran back to the bed.

It was scorching hot.

"Zack, you have a fever?" Lenora immediately sat up from the bed.

Her hands were cool, like a refreshing rain after a long drought.

Overwhelmed by his emotions, Zachary instinctively grasped her hand, pressing it against his face. He opened his eyes, gazing intensely at her in the darkness, a deep glimmer flickering in the depths of his eyes. "It's not a fever. There was something wrong with the soup I had last night."

That should have been a replenishing soup.

Moreover, it was a highly nutritious soup.
