Mona couldn't help but think about her kiss with Maxwell, wondering if the flight attendant had seen it, which made her feel a bit embarrassed.

As she held the door handle to step in, the flight attendant approached her, saying, "Mrs. Carter, you and Mr. Carter have such a wonderful relationship. You must be happy together! I'm your big fan. I truly believe what Mr. Carter said. You would never do something like plagiarism."

Mona was slightly taken aback, but then a genuine smile spread across her face. "Thank you. We'll stay happy together. I hope you find your own happiness too."

After she finished speaking, she stepped into the bathroom. After a quick freshen-up, she headed back toward her seat.

As she approached, she noticed that Maxwell had woken up. He was sitting in his seat, glancing around, holding the blanket they had just shared.

"Do you still have a fever?" Mona asked.

She instinctively reached out her freshly washed hand to touch Maxwell's forehead. Perhaps due to the medicine, his temperature felt slightly lower, making her a bit relieved.

Maxwell's gaze remained fixed on Mona, intense and focused. He gently grasped her delicate wrist and pulled her slightly guiding her to sit beside him.

Upon waking up and not seeing Mona, he felt a momentary fear

"Tm not running a fever anymore. Did you just go to the bathroom?" Maxwell asked, naturally holding Mona's hand and playfully fiddling with it.

Mona nodded and picked up the warm water beside her, signaling for Maxwell to drink.
