Late at night, in the VIP room on the 8th floor of the hospital, someone knocked on the window heavily.

Kenneth's tightly shut eyes snapped open. He swung out of bed and strode to the window. Pulling back the curtains, he saw Ophelia standing outside on the air conditioning unit, dressed in black sportswear, tilting her head and looking at him. His heart nearly leaped out of his chest. He had never felt like this before. In one swift motion, he opened the window, wrapped his arms around Ophelia, pulled her inside and then slammed the window shut.

The window slammed shut.

"Ophelia! Are you out of your mind?" Kenneth's brows furrowed, and his sharp eyes blazed with anger like he wanted to devour her.

Kenneth thought Ophelia was joking earlier when she mentioned climbing in through the window. He thought, 'Who knew she'd actually do it? Eight floors up. With no safety equipment. What if she has fallen? Damn it'

The bodyguards outside had heard the noise and were about to come in, but as soon as they saw Ophelia, they quickly withdrew and stationed themselves a good 30 feet away.

Ophelia's face was flushed from the cold. She didn't want to wear the nurse's outfit again, or Kenneth might accuse her of trying to seduce him. She thought, 'Kenneth's mad. What should I do?"

"Kenneth, my hands are cold," she said softly, holding out her dirty, frozen hands, her wide, innocent eyes fixed on him. Her palms were red.

Kenneth's heart clenched at the sight and he gritted his teeth. "You deserve it. If you have a death wish, just say so."

"You deserve it. Next time, if you want to risk your life, just say so." Even though Kenneth was furious, he took her cold hands in his, his handsome face still tight with concern.

Kenneth rubbed her hands between his, his touch gentle as if he were holding something precious. He even blew warm air on them to heat them.
