Chapter 27 It was you … His logic angered me ; I turned to confront him .
Seeing him calmly tying his tie , I spun back around .
You did it on purpose .
You usually dress much faster .
Have you seen me dress before ? I hesitated .
Id only seen him dress once .
His laughter echoed , further angering me .
I grabbed a pillow and threw it at him .
Ryder caught the pillow .
Your fever was high last night .

The doctor said to use physical cooling , so I took off my shirt .
My hands are numb from holding the pillow all night ; thats why I was slow .
He needed to clarify before I thought he was some kind of pervert .
I said nothing .
The only sound was the rustling of clothes .
After he dressed , he made breakfast .
I sat in the room , my thoughts swirling .
Fragments of last nights dream returned .
Id talked about the past , seemingly randomly .
Had Ryder responded ? I rubbed my aching temples , pushing aside other thoughts and getting ready .
After a while , the door opened again .
< Chapter 27 Menu Ryder entered , carrying a bowl of steaming lotus seed soup .
Eat something .
There was no lotus seed soup in the Northwest ; he must have made it himself .
I missed it .
I accepted it .
Thank you , Uncle .
Ryder watched me eat , his expression tender .
He remembered my words from last night .
He hesitated , then spoke .
Claire , I dont dislike you .
I avoided you because I loved you too much , suppressing my feelings .
That marriage wasnt a prison for me .
Cough , cough , cough ! I choked on the soup .
Ryder patted my back .
My eyes welled with tears .
I pulled away , my face pale .
I was delirious last night , saying crazy things .
Uncle , dont take it seriously .
Ryder saw my panic , his hand clenching .
He didnt press further .
After I finished , Ryder called the doctor for a check up .
My fever had broken .
He wanted me to stay another day , but I refused .
He was hesitant , seeing my determination , his brow furrowed .
He finally agreed , asking the doctor for extra medicine .
The pharmacist was an elderly man .
He smiled kindly at us , teasing us while dispensing the medicine .
< Chapter 27 I couldnt understand him , only smiling in Menu only smiling in response .
Ryder smiled and exchanged a few words with the old man .
Outside , I asked , Uncle , what did he say ? What do Gesang and mola mean ? Ryder checked the medicine .
Its a local custom .
Gesang and mola are terms of address .
You can call me Gesang .
Gesang ? Like Uncle ? Ryder looked at me , no longer looking ill .
The sunlight illuminated my face , restoring my vitality .
He smiled , his deep eyes fixed on me .
Yes , you can call me Gesang here .
