Sadie buried her face in the pillow, succumbing to exhaustion, and just as she was drifting off, a large hand reached over. Startled, she scooted away. "What are you doing? With me like this, you still want to—"

Before she could finish, Micah's warm palm rested on her forehead, checking her temperature. He reached for his phone and called Dahlia. "Come over to the Cloud Hotel..." "No need, no need," Sadie quickly interjected. "It's just cramps, not sickness. No need for a doctor."

"Are you sure?" Micah frowned. "You don't look well."

"I'll be fine with some hot water and sleep," Sadie reassured, softening her voice as she placed her face into his broad palm. "It's 3:00 a.m., no need to bother Dr. Rey." All she wanted was to rest, without any more fuss.

And his care already filled her with warmth.

"Alright," conceded Micah, ending the call and then using his phone to search for something.

"What are you doing?" Sadie peeked over, her eyes widening in astonishment.

Micah was googling how to boil water!

Apparently following the instructions, he poured bottled water into an electric kettle, set it on the base, and pressed the button. He then stood by, watching it intently. "What are you doing?" Sadie almost burst out laughing. "You seriously don't know how to heat up water?"

"Shut up!"

Micah shot her a glare. He wouldn't allow anyone to laugh at him for anything, even something as simple as boiling water. And now he had mastered it. Seeing his earnest manner, Sadie couldn't help but laugh behind her hand. She had never realized he had such an adorable side.

They said men looked handsome when they were serious, but she thought he was not only handsome but also cute. Absolutely endearing!

Micah suddenly remembered something else and picked up his phone again.

Apparently replaceing typing too cumbersome, he simply asked Siri, "Hey, Siri."

"How can I help you?"

"What to do for a woman with menstrual cramps?"

"I found this content online..." Siri responded.

Micah, engrossed in his reading on the phone, made a quick call to room service for some brown sugar and ginger.

The hotel delivered swiftly, and Micah filled a hot water bottle and wrapped it in a towel to help ease the cramps.

Ten minutes later, a steaming cup of ginger tea with brown sugar sat on the nightstand. "Let it cool for five before you drink. I'll go wash my hands," he said with a seriousness akin to handling a matter of great importance. Sadie watched his retreating figure, feeling a warm surge in her heart. She was moved and couldn't deny it.

Indeed, moved by the very devil himself!

She never knew he had such warmth in him.

One moment he was angry and rough with her, and the next he was off to the corner store getting her sanitary napkins.

One moment he couldn't stand her, the next he was making her sweetened ginger tea, taking care of her with such tenderness.

To any other guy, these details might not mean much.

But Micah the fiercely proud man who had never set foot in a convenience store and didn't even know how to use a kettle-broke his routine, searched up instructions, and slowly learned how to care for someone. This special favor was truly different.

Micah came back from the bathroom, helped Sadie sit up, and even tucked a pillow behind her back. He then stared at his watch. "55 seconds to go!"

"Huh? 55 seconds to what?" Sadie asked curiously.

"Until the five minutes are up." Micah kept his eyes on the time. "44 seconds, you can drink then!"
