The sick girl seemed to be a Little clingy. He smoothed her Long, messy hair and said softly, “Sleep again after taking your medicine.”

He had just checked her temperature, and it had returned to normal. She didn't need to take an antipyretic, but she still needed the cold medicine.

Erica sniffed. She knew he was right. But, she just didn't want to let go of him. Grudgingly, she removed her hand.

After wearing his pajamas, Matthew placed a call for breakfast before heading to the bathroom to wash.

Erica slept for about ten more minutes. She was still groggy when he returned from the bathroom and helped her up from the bed.

"Breakfast is ready. Go brush your teeth," he said in a gentle tone.

“Okay." Her stomach rumbled when she heard the word, breakfast. She pushed her messy hair behind her ears, yawned, and struggled to open her eyes.

Matthew had prepared warm water, a toothbrush, and toothpaste for her in the bathroom. Erica was still so dazed that she barely noticed as she brushed her teeth mechanically.

After breakfast, she took her cold medicine and went back to bed.

Matthew sat on the edge of the bed after tucking her in, and said, "I'm in the meeting room next door. Call me if you need anything."

“Don't you need to go out to work?”

He shook his head. When he learned that she was unwell, he postponed all his appointments for later that afternoon. He would go out after lunch if she were better.

Erica's mind was so hazy with the medicine that she didn't think too much. She just closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

It was almost noon when Erica woke again. This time, she was in high spirits. Except for a nasal twang when she spoke, all other symptoms had improved.

Later in the afternoon, before leaving for work, Matthew asked her to stroll around the streets near the hotel and not stray too far. He didn't want her to exhaust herself as she was still weak.

She was obedient this time and just took photos on the old streets nearby.

The streets of this city had a history that dated back thousands of years. The most famous spot was the ancient gate of the city in the southern part.

When she stepped through the ancient gate, Erica found that the alley was filled with shops that sold a variety of goods or souvenirs. The alley floor had been paved with some kind of ancient black bricks.

Walking in the alley, Erica felt as though she had been transported to ancient times.

For Erica, who liked to take photos of scenery, this was the best place for shooting. She held the camera and took photos happily.

After a while, she felt a bit tired and thirsty. So, she found a small shop to buy a bowl of red bean soup with taro balls and a cup of bubble tea. It was leisurely to walk along the street while eating these desserts.

She took a picture of the food in front of her and sent it to Matthew.

“Matthew, the red bean soup with taro balls is delicious. Do you want me to bring you one?"

“Who allowed you to eat a smoothie?"

"Huh? Smoothie?’ Erica looked at the food carefully. As she had eaten some of the red beans and taro balls, the thick layer of shaved ice beneath them had been exposed. Matthew's eyes were so sharp!
