As it was late autumn, the sunlight on him was not warm. Still, it created a faint halo around his perfectly chiseled profile, making his face look both handsome and aloof.

However, as Sheena got closer, she noticed the slight discoloration under his thin lips and the paleness on his face, devoid of any trace of color, indicating illness.

“Don’t lie flat. It might press against your back injury,” Sheena advised.

He quickly sat up, attempting to stand.

“I got lost in thought and lost track of time. Are you hungry? I can make dinner now.”

“No need. Since you’re feeling unwell, consider it a day off for you,” Sheena said, gently guiding him back to a sitting position.
