Today, he had a long, intense discussion with Irene, thinking she would understand after his explanation.
However, he didn't expect her to be so strong-willed and unwilling to let go. After explaining things to her, he
didn't return to the botel. Instead, as if driven by sunseen force, he found himself at the hotel where
Yasmine was staying, lingering at the entrance for a long time, coming to terms with many things.

"Yonas, go back. We've already broken up, Yasmine said with a cold expression. It had happened too many times,
her heart was already torn apart. Outside, rain poured downs violently, while inside was warm, yet she felt icy
cold all over.
Yonas couldn't stand seeing Yasmine like this, cold and distant like a robot. He pulled her into his arms, and
Yasmine struggled fiercely, but he only held her tighter.
"Let go of me!" Yasmine demanded.
"No."Yonas said firmly, without leaving any room for doubt.
Being held so tightly, Yasmine found it hard to breathe. The suffocating embrace unexpectedly made her feel
safe. She stopped struggling. breathing in the scent of cedar from his overly warm chest. Her forehead rested

thermometer, "Take your temperature,"
Yonas obediently put the thermometer in place. He felt dizzy and his eyelids were heavy. He didn't want to lift
them.
After tpassed. Yasmine checked the thermometer, seeing it read 39 degrees-high fever! She immediately
began to put on her clothes, "You have a fever, we need to go to the hospital."
"No." Yonas said, leaning lazily against the sofa
Yasmine frowned deeply, "How can you not go to the hospital with such a high fever?"
"Time" He didn't want to go anywhere, just wanted to stay a little longer with Yasmine,

Yasmine draped a blanket over him and sat nearby to work on her thesis. The scene was reminiscent of the last

beside her.
Every now and then, she couldn't help but check Yonas's temperature. After two hours, his fever had gone down,

"No, just two hours." "Yasmine replied calmly.

In another hotel, Irene stared angrily at her phone's call log. Once again, she couldn't get through. Not in the
hotel-where could he possibly be? He must have gone to see Yasmine again. She threw down the cup next to her
with a bang, finally feeling a bit calmer. The next morning. Yasmine received an unexpected call from Irene. "Got
tfor a cup of coffee?" Irene asked.
"What's up?" Yasmine inquired.
"Let's talk in person," Irene replied, and before Yasmine could decline, she rattled off a tand place and hung
up.
Yasmine stared at the phone that had just been hung up, feeling a bit puzzled. What did she really want?
In the cafe at Saint's Haven, Yasmine walked through the door and immediately spotted Irene sitting in a corner,
sipping coffee. She approached the table, noticing an iced Americano already ordered for her. "Thanks, but what
is it you want to talk about!" Irene flashed a gentle smile, giving Yasmine a once-over followed by praise. "You
look so different from when I last saw you. Participating in such a grand competition, you're really impressive.
Don't be nervous; I'm here just to cheer you on."
