    "Hurry and pack your things. We''re staying with one of the locals for a while. There has been andslide, and our way back is washed out. This house isn''t safe enough, so hurry ande with me."


    I began packing my things without another thought. Meanwhile, Jean choked a little,


    "Ews, I won''t die here, will 1?*


    "Of course not won''t let you die even if I have to de myself. Don''t worry!"


    I just wanted tofort the poor woman, but unexpectedly, someone smacked me on the back of my head.

    Thanly stopped talking when I saw the look in his eyes because I was just too prone to jinxing things.


    Chapter Who Exactly Are You


    We finally made to the house of a townman our host was quite weing, and the house was decently decorated. Sadly, 1 fell sick.


    sty health had always been weak, and with all the traveling in the past few days, I got a fever that refused to subside. I couldn''t even think straight. When


    and called me, Jean answered the phone. I didn''t know what he said, but I knew he was very amdous.


    Two dayster, the sain stopped. I still had a low-grade fever going on, so Zack got on a tractor with me straight away.


    have to get an injection at the hospital. If not, the fever will mess with your brain"


    He borrowed a linge coat from the townsman and then wrapped me in it. After that, he held me in his arms.


    Traised my head gazing at his profile I was suddenly reminded of Leonard.


    When I was a sophomore in college, I stayed up for three days in a row to write my thesis. In the end, my body couldn''t take it and I fainted


    In my dan, I saw him carrying me as he hurriedly rushed to the clinic.


    At that moment, I felt like I was looking at Lesnand''s anxious face again.


    Reaching out, I touched his chin and said in a small voler, "Leonard, your face needs shaving. It looks ugly.."


    The arms carrying me suddenly stiffened. Then, he held me even tighter.


    When I woke up, I was a little bewildered as i stared at the sightly spotted wall.


    I finally remembered where I was when I saw Zack, who had stubble on his chin and dark circles under his eyes. "Zack, what happened to me?"


    "You had a fever because of your trailhealth. If you want to get a iliied rpen, feel free to keep pushing yourself."


    He was exasperated as he pushed me back onto the bed Then, he covered me with a nket.


    A doctor with thinning hair walked in. After giving me a simple checkup, he looked at Zack with a slightlysten expression


    "Your wife has had two surgeries already, so can''t you just let her rest at home? judging by your looks, you must be quite wealthy, right? You should''ve asked her to quit her job"


    I was about to exin when Zack quickly stood up and modded.


    Scery, it was my fault. I shouldn''t have allowed her to overwork herself."


    It was only then that a small smile appeared on the doctor''s stern face. "A second rpse is no joke. The most we can do for you here is to give you an injection. If you want a proper examination, you''ll have to visit a hospital in the city."


    He then looked at me. "I can tell that you''re a woman who loves her career. Still, you should prioritize your life. From now on, just rest properly and stop working."


    The town doctor was quite kind. He was stem, but he gave me plenty of advice. Lastly, he even gave me some of the pack his wife made, telling me that I had to take more protein. I stared at the pock, finding it a little hard to eat. Zack hughed at the side. "Do you not feel like eating?"


    "You can have it"


    Tlooked at him, feeling a little troubled.


    He didn''t seem to mind it. He wore a pair of gloves before tearing off the park skin and handing the meat back to me.


    I stared at him, alittle stunned.


    "Eknow you don''t eat the skin,e on, dig in."


    Isheepishly took the meat and ate it in small bites.


    Zack didn''t seem to mind it as he began eating too.


    But then, I felt troubled again at the mention of the transportation of the materials,


    "Lean help transport your materials along with mine. Leonard can pay me the fee. But as for your condition, should I tell him about it?"


    Zack was done eating, and he was already cleaning up


    Ishook my!


    y head. "Zack, please keep it a secret from him. Just tell him that I''m stil supervising on-site


    He didn''t say anything about it. After making sure that was fine, he told me that he would begin arranging for some trucks to deliver the goods the next day. Meanwhile, started a video call with Leonard


    just told him lost connection because of the heavy rain, and thadaslight dever. He began to get ansious again, and he no longerined about me going out alone with Zack "shall go over there? I''m really worried about you"


    "It''s okay. I''ll just keep an eye on things for a few days. After that, go home. Don''t worry."


    1felt like our rtionship was back to when we were just married.


    It wasn''t the most intimate rtionship, but we could atst get along peacefully.


    But then, Lily appeared on the screen. Once again, she had shown up in my and Leonard''s house. My expression tumed cold.


    "Leo, do you remember the tarts fromst time? Where did you get them? I think the baby would like to hume serie."


    Shepardal Leonard with a shy expression. Then, she peered at the screen, looking at me.


    "That you went to Willerton, and Mr. Boyd went with you. No wonder you haven''te back after so long"


    Tended the rall right away. No matter how many messages Lemand on WhatsApp to exin himsell, I never replied, ince did I answer his calls. CapExactly Are You


    1 felt a little frustrated, but I was also aware that Lily was the apple of the Hammons'' eye now, so Leonard was obliged to listen to her.


    Igently closed my eyes and took several deep breaths. I finally felt a little better now.


    She might not lease even after she had ghen Wirth, and that would be the time I got a diverce as well.


    thought that only had to focus on work in Wilderton, but the two days on end, I noticed someone sneaking around the entrance of my ward.


    fit, didn''t mind the nurse, but then, she showed up again on the third day. She was also pushing a cart into my ward, intending to give me an injection. I got on my guard. "18 Minamot here today?"


    I looked at the curse in suspicion. She had a slightly nervous look in her eyes, which were hidden behind her sses.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    "N-Mna is busy today. 1-1''m here to rece her


    She took rey hand and patted it. Her hand trembled a little as she held the syringe.
