“No worries. I can think of other ways to help you. If we get married, I could… I checked out rings when
I was at the mall today. I don’t know if you’d like it or not.” Liam took out a black velvet box from his
pocket. When he opened it and took out the ladies’ diamond ring, he did not hear Blake’s response;
only her steady breathing was heard in
the quiet room.
He stood up quietly from the sofa and knelt in front of her. Blake remained undisturbed. Deep affection
filled his gaze as he took out the ring, “I know I might be taking advantage of the situation, but I’ve had
enough of waiting. Blake, no matter what happens in the future, I
don’t want you to divorce me so easily.”
It was Liam’s selfishness. Indeed, the thought of divorce had never
crossed his mind since Blake proposed marriage.
Liam lifted Blake from the sofa, walked into the bedroom, and helped
her out of her shoes and coat. He then covered her with a bla
making her roll into the covers, adjusting herself to find a
comfortable position in bed.
As dawn broke the next day, Blake stirred in bed. When she grog opened her eyes and saw a man
beside her, her eyes widened in
instant. It was not until she saw that it was Liam that the shock an
vigilance in her eyes slowly began to relax. With furrowed brows, she got out of bed, put on her shoes,
ran her fingers through her hair, and
walked into the living room.
Blake felt thirsty, so she poured herself a glass of water and took

several sips. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, she rubbed her forehead and felt more awake.
She turned around at the sound of footsteps behind her and saw Liam in gray and white striped
pajamas. They seemed well-fitted but were somewhat oversized in reality. This set of pajamas had
originally been prepared by Blake for Kevin when she moved in. Little did she know, he had never worn
them nor the slippers on Liam’s feet.
Blake shifted her gaze away, forced a faint smile, and greeted him, ”
Good morning.”
Liam replied, “Morning. Did I bother you last night?”
Blake hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, “No, I’m fine.”
After a short silence, she continued, “Liam, we can’t let that happen
again. It’s not proper.”
They were just friends, but they slept in the same bed. Even as
friends, especially of the opposite sex, it was not suitable to share a
bed. Blake did not want to betray Kevin or cause unnecessary
misunderstandings, even if he knew the arrangements.
Liam’s eyes showed a touch of sadness. He nodded, “Okay. It w
happen again.”
When Blake lowered her head, she suddenly noticed the ring on h
fourth finger. A look of surprise crossed her face, and she asked, ”
What is this ring?”
Liam laughed it off, “I bought this ring yesterday and wanted to see if it would be a good fit for you. I
forgot to take it off when you were asleep last night. Sorry.”
Blake did not think much of it. She removed the ring from her fourth finger and explained, “We haven’t
made it public yet. It’s too early to have a ring, so let’s not do it yet. I’m afraid it might attract public
attention.”
She quickly changed the subject, saying, “It’s still early, and we have one and a half hours before work.
Do you want to rest a bit more? I can prepare breakfast for you.”
Liam shook his head, “It’s okay. I’ll eat at the office.”
The vibes between them grew silent all of a sudden. Blake did not want to see Liam’s anxious
expression as he held the ring in the palm
of his hand, but she knew there were situations when she had to be
tough. Love did not tolerate the slightest betrayal. Now, she had to
come up with a plan, so she and Liam would not reach the point of
getting married.
“Well, I’ll take a shower first and then head to work.” After saying this,
Blake grabbed a set of work clothes from the master bedroom and novelbin
went into the bathroom to shower. The warm water cascaded
from above. She closed her eyes, her mind filled with the wo

spoke last night.
‘Now, the priority is to facilitate Mr. Jardin’s awakening. To
understand his condition, I’ll need his medical reports.’
