Sasha took care of Sebastian for the next few days, though he wasn't in any danger. He was justbeing feverish. Perhaps the drugs had broken his immunity down too much, and the cold in Jetroinaknocked him out, so he was out for a while.

Sasha was brewing a bowl of medicine in the kitchen. When it was time to change towels, she toldVivian, “Vivi, can you get me another towel? Daddy will feel better that way.”

"Okay!" Vivian promptly put her paper airplane down and wobbled toward her father. Changingtowels was a piece of cake. She was a doctor's daughter, so she knew a lot of stuff.

Vivian went to the bed and took off the towel on Sebastian's forehead before going into therestroom. When she came out a few minutes later, she was holding a newly rinsed towel.

As Vivian put the wet towel back on Sebastian's head, he grunted. Vivian quickly told him, “Don’tmove, Daddy. This will help with the fever. You'll be fine in no time.” She patted the towel.

Since she didn't twist the towel at all, water was flowing down from Sebastian's forehead. By thetime Sasha came by, the whole pillow was getting wet.

God, this girl... Sasha quickly put the medicine aside and helped Sebastian up.

Sebastian grunted groggily, irritated that he was disturbed again.

Sasha immediately said, “Your pillow’s wet, Mr. Hayes. I'll change it for you.”

Suddenly, Sebastian's eyelashes started to flutter, and at long last, he opened his eyes to look at thewoman who was holding him in her arms.

It was a soft embrace. Since she needed to change his pillows, she had to hold the back of his headto keep him from falling. Thanks to that, he was inches away from her chest.

Feeling that, Sebastian opened his eyes immediately. He could hear the sound of her heartbeats,and her chest felt really soft. He sobered up immediately.

"Oh, you're awake, Mr. Hayes.” Sasha finally noticed him stirring in her arms, but she froze when shemet his gaze. “D-Don't take this the wrong way. I'm just trying to change the pillow. That's why I'mholding you.”

She reflexively put him back down after changing the pillow, her face flushed red. Well, that wasawkward. Why did he suddenly wake up? She wouldn't have done what she did if she knew hewould wake up.

Sasha stood there awkwardly, but fortunately, Sebastian did nothing but glance at her darkly afterhe was put back on the bed. “Why are you here?”

"Huh?" Sasha explained, “Mark called me. He said you're sick.”

Mark? Why did he butt in? Sebastian was upset, but he said nothing. Instead, he tried to get up.Sasha came to his help right away. “You're still feverish, so be careful. We don't want you fallingdown now."

Sebastian wanted her to go away since he wasn't that weak yet. Or so he thought.

When he tried to move, he could feel his strength failing him, and everything was

spinning. D*mmit! He was getting more irritated with every passing second.

Since Sasha had been working as a doctor for years, she knew what he was thinking just by lookingat him, and she told him gently, “Calm down. Finish this and your fever will go away in no time. Youwant to use the bathroom, right? I'll take you there.”

Sebastian laughed mirthlessly. “This will make the fever go away? What? You think this is somefantasy novel where a pill can heal everything?”

"Well, we aren't in a fantasy novel, but you've used antibiotics too much, so western medicine won'tdo your fever any good. Eastern meds should work faster at this point,” Sasha answered honestly.She then picked the bowl of medicine beside her and handed it to him.

Sebastian couldn't believe she wanted him to drink that stuff. Just a whiff of it was enough to makehim balk. “Why do you always come up with this kind of weird stuff? I said I'm not taking it! Did youforget about that?”

He was unusually reluctant, and he seemed agitated, much to Sasha's confusion. Did he tell mesomething like that? No, I don't think so. I've never given him any prescriptions. I only did someacupuncture after I got here.

In the next moment, however, realization struck her, and her heart skipped a beat. “You mean you'vetaken similar meds before? And you think it's... hard to swallow?”

“I...” Sebastian still had a look of disgust on his face, but that question made him pause. He wantedto say something, but he couldn't remember anything, and that confused him.
