In the afternoon, Tina bought some fruits from the supermarket downstairs and came to Luca’s room.

After Luca opened the door, Tina glanced at her and asked, “Is Mr. Crawford still inside?”

“He left quite some time ago,” Luca explained hastily in case Tina misunderstood something.

Seeing that Luca was quite nervous, Tina waved her hand and smiled. “Don’t worry. I didn’t tell anyone what happened earlier this morning. I know Mr. Crawford’s character, and I don’t think he’d do anything out of line.”

Tina walked in, and Luca closed the door.

Tina placed the bag of fruits on the coffee table and said, “I was at the supermarket buying some fruits earlier, and I accidentally bought some extra. Here, have some.”

“Thank you.” Luca did not refuse. She knew that Tina had specifically bought the fruits for her.

“Right, do you feel better now? I was so afraid earlier. If I had known that you can’t swim, I wouldn’t have goaded you into competing.” Tina felt guilty even though she was not to blame for what happened to Luca.

If Luca had not stepped into the pool, she would not have nearly drowned.

“I don’t blame you. I didn’t do my warm-up exercises.” Luca did not expect her leg would cramp either.

After all, she only wanted to participate and was not interested in winning. That was why she did not make adequate preparations before stepping into the pool.

“I’m glad that you’re fine. Right, do you want to go hiking tomorrow?” Tina asked.

“Hiking?” Luca frowned. She would rather stay in the hotel. If she wanted to visit some attractions near the hotel, she would rather do so herself.

“Yup, Mount Jadeite near here is a famous attraction. I’ve heard that the scenery there is breathtaking this time of the year. Do you want to go?” Tina asked.

“I don’t think I’d want to go. I don’t like crowded places,” Luca said while shaking her head. She would not want to join unless it was mandatory.
