An intern, who walked past her, reminded her, “Is it inconvenient for you to answer the call? Do you need me to hold your phone for you?”
“No need.”
Mireya had no choice but to put down the test tube and remove her gloves. She picked up her phone and walked to the open-air garden. “What’s the matter?”
“I heard I was drunk last night, and you were the one who sent me home.” Ryan’s clear, pleasant voice sounded.
Mireya heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like he could not recall what happened last night. Nevertheless, she was a little disappointed and frustrated. She had trouble sleeping because of that passionate kiss from last night. Yet, he had completely forgotten about it. He was the one who said that her lips were soft.
Despite that, he could easily forget it. Sure enough, he was g*y.
“Yeah.”
She muttered, “Don’t you remember anything?”
“I drank too much yesterday.” After pausing for a moment, Ryan added, “I didn’t do anything to you, right?”
“What?” She had a brain cramp for a moment.
“I’m not sure if I was drunk and muddle- headed or it was a dream, but I seemed to have … kissed you…”
“Hahaha. How could that be?” Mireya’s head buzzed, and she immediately interrupted him, “It must’ve been a dream.”
Deep down, she was hoping that he would not recall it. If he did, how was she going to face him?
“Really? Fine. I might’ve overthought things.” Ryan sounded very helpless. “It might’ve been a dream, but the kiss felt great…”
“Do you think it was a man… or a woman who kissed you?” Mireya asked cautiously.
“I think it was a woman.” Ryan laughed. ” Although I can’t remember much after I woke up, the kiss seemed beautiful.”
“M-Maybe.” On the other end, Mireya’s face was burning from embarrassment. Anyhow, they had kissed. If Ryan remembered that her kiss was terrible, it would come as a blow to her. “As I said, a woman’s kiss is much more enjoyable than a man’s. Women’s lips are soft, and they smell good. You’d better not go for men anymore and get as drunk as you did yesterday.”
“….”
Ryan did not answer her. “Your voice sounds strange. Do you have a cold?”
“Yeah. I went to pick you up in the middle of the night and caught a cold… It was all your fault.” She snorted and blamed him softly.
“I’m sorry. Is it bad? Have you taken any medicine?”
“I’ve taken some medicine, but it doesn’t seem effective. Forget it. I’ll see how I feel in the afternoon,” Mireya said glumly.
“What are the symptoms?” “Just a bit of a sore throat. I’m going to stop here. I need to get to work.”
After hanging up, Mireya carried on with her work.
At noon, she had lunch with Cate in the canteen. Shortly after she took her seat, her secretary came over with a takeaway. ” Manager Lynch, someone has sent you lunch.”
Mireya opened the lunch pack curiously, only to see chicken soup, salmon salad, and blueberries. There was also mn for sore throat, as well as anti-inflammatory tablets.
Cate leaned over to take a look. “Wow. Which caring man sent this over?”
Ryan’s face subconsciously flashed across Mireya’s mind. He was the only one who knew that she had caught a cold and would do such a thing.
If this happened on any other day, she would find him caring.
However, at the thought of the passionate kiss last night, a strange feeling welled up within her. Instinctively, she could not see this as a form of familial care.
“How considerate of him to send you some light food knowing that you have a cold.” Cate teased her playfully, “In fact, our canteen serves light food too. It’s best for you to drink the chicken soup now.”
“It should be… Ryan,” Mireya stuttered.
“….”
Cate immediately had a brain freeze.
Great. Cate was under the impression that it was one of those men Mireya had met on a blind date.
However, those men were terrible. Seeing how good Ryan was at taking advantage, how could Mireya be interested in other men?
Although there were news reports yesterday about Ryan coming out of the closet, Cate did not believe it at all.
On second thought, if the Snow family found out that Ryan was interested in men, they would panic and rather have him marry Mireya than let him be with a man without a child.
Tsk. Sure enough, Ryan had an ulterior motive.
Forget it. If she was right, it meant that Ryan would not mind losing his reputation for Mireya’s sake. That would be an indication of true love.
In that case, she would not separate Ryan and Mireya.
“Drink up the chicken soup. Weren’t you complaining about your sore throat? The soup might soothe your throat a little.”
“Alright.”
Mireya could not finish the soup alone, so she gave some to Cate.
“This soup must have simmered for a long time.” Cate sighed. “I reckon it wasn’t cheap.”
Mireya nodded. Although the salmon salad seemed ordinary, it tasted delicious. The blueberries were yummy as well. As such, she ended up eating so much despite having a poor appetite.
After Mireya had finished eating, Ryan sent her a message on WhatsApp. [Is it delicious?]
Mireya replied, [So it was from you. It was quite delicious. I’ve finished everything.] Ryan: [Remember to eat the medicine. If you’re still not feeling any better in the afternoon, I’ll take you to the hospital.]
Mireya: [It’s fine.]
Ryan: [Don’t take your health lightly. If Dani gets infected, it’ll be a problem. After all, she’s still young and has a weak immune system.]
Mireya pouted. [Oh. No wonder you so desperately want me to take the medicine. It turns out that you’re doing it for Dani’s sake.]
Ryan: [Tsk. Why do I smell jealousy? Doesn’t it mean that I’m doing it for your sake too? Everyone knows Dani is your darling. If she falls sick, you’ll surely be so anxious that you’ll cry. I don’t want you to cry.]
¡®I don’t want you to cry…’
Mireya’s hand shook, and a surge of emotions welled up within her in spite of herself.
“I’m done eating. Let’s go up.”
Cate, who was opposite her, suddenly leaped to her feet.
“Oh.”
Mireya tagged along with Cate and left the canteen absent-mindedly.
In the afternoon, her throat seemed to hurt more, and she even felt dizzy.
When it was finally time to get off work, her lab colleague came in and said, “Miss Lynch, I just saw your boyfriend waiting for you outside.”
Boyfriend?
Only later did it hit her that her colleague had assumed Ryan to be her boyfriend after seeing him the last time.
Since she was unwell and was planning to get off work early anyway, she took off her white coat and left the lab straight away.
Upon seeing Mireya, Ryan immediately walked up to her. “Are you feeling better?”
“No. It’s getting worse. I feel dizzy.” Mireya started grumbling without a second thought. ” I think I’m going to have a fever..”
As soon as Mireya finished speaking, Ryan touched her forehead.
Mireya stood still without dodging Ryan. After all, sick people were like that. They were easily irritable and instinctively wanted to depend on someone.
