Jim rapidly regained his health, as the fever diminished, and his injuries were thoroughly attended to.

At the break of dawn, Jim was in the midst of dressing when a gentle tap sounded at the door. “Come in,” he called out.

A servant escorted Melissa into the room.

Carrying a vessel of herbal remedy concocted by Isabelle, Melissa entered. Upon glimpsing Jim in the process of dressing, a faint flush tinted her cheeks.

“Mr. Carter, you’re awake.”

Jim pivoted to fasten his shirt. “Good morning, Ms. Holmes.”

The servant exited the room.

Jim accepted the medicine. “Thank you, Ms. Holmes.”

He swiftly consumed the medicine, and as Melissa attempted to offer him a tissue for his mouth, he gently intercepted it

“It’s alright, Ms. Holmes. I can manage on my own.”

“Alright,” Melissa replied softly.

Jim gazed at the bashful Melissa and was filled with gratitude.

“Ms. Holmes, I am truly grateful for your attentive care these recent days.”

He expressed his sincere gratitude to her.
