A flash of anger crossed Savannah's eyes. But when she made eye contact with Zachariah, she
subconsciously smiled.
Her refusal turned into a promise, “Well, I'm happy to be the tour guide, but I don't know if Cayden
would like to go.”
Cayden said gently, “I'd love to.”
Mrs. Jenkins said with a smile, “Nice. You two can have fun. Cayden, you should be gentle with
Savannah since she is younger than you. Treat her well."
Cayden nodded.
The vibe was pretty good during the whole meal.
Upon finishing eating, Savannah stood up and said, “Sorry, I’m not feeling well because of the wind last
night. My head hurts a little so I want to go up and have a rest.”
Mrs. Chambers was worried because Savannah didn't look well and didn't eat much.
“Savannah, are you okay? What about inviting Dr. Kenelm to check on you?” she said.
Savannah knew that her secrets would be exposed if Dr. Kenelm came. And Zachariah would punish
her.
He was like a tiger while she was the bunny that couldn’t escape from the paw of the tiger. She could
not resist but obey.
“Mom, it’s not that serious. I just have a headache. I'll take some meds.” Savannah refused.
“Ok, take a good rest."
Savannah nodded and went upstairs without looking back.
Mrs. Chambers explained, “Savannah may be really uncomfortable. Usually she is quite active.
Cayden, please don't blame her for not treating you with much enthusiasm. She has been a little off for
years.”
Cayden shook his head and said, “It's all right. Savannah really didn’t look well. Maybe I should bring
her some traditional Chinese medicine tomorrow.”
Mrs. Chambers was all the more satisfied with him.
“That’s too much trouble.”
Mrs. Jenkins said, “In fact, Cayden is the best cook in the whole family. He might have been a real one,
but Bruno and I really need him to help run the company. Seriously, being a cook is a bit inferior to our
social status. But the food he cooks is really delicious. I’m not saying this because he is my son.”
Mrs. Chambers’ eyes lit up at once.
She said with appreciation, “There are not many guys who can cook now, let alone a guy like Cayden
who is handsome, rich, and graduated from a famous school with the ability to cook. Zach is good at
anything but cooking. He hardly cooks.”
The Chambers and the Jenkins kept boasting about each other's sons. It was already 11 PM when the
Jenkins family left.

Zachariah and Ophelia returned to their bedroom. Zachariah noticed that Ophelia didn’t look well so he
asked, “You are not feeling well?”
Ophelia shook her head and said, “I'm fine. Maybe I'm a little tired.”
Zachariah gave her a massage and said, “Go take a hot bath first. If you're still uncomfortable, I'll ask
Dr. Dixon to come and check on you.”
Ophelia shook her head and said, “Don't bother him at night. It's too much trouble for him to come from
the city. And I’m fine. I'll take a hot bath now.”
Ophelia freed herself from Zachariah's hands, grabbed a clean dress, and went directly into the
bathroom. Zachariah looked at his empty hands and was stunned for a moment. He keenly felt that
Ophelia was trying to be estranged from him.
But why? Haven’t they already explained all the misunderstandings at noon?
Before Zachariah could figure out the reason, there was a loud noise coming from the bathroom. He
ran into the bathroom in a hurry.
Seeing Ophelia lying upright on the floor, he felt his heart suddenly stopped for a moment.
He ran over, squatted down, carefully picked up Ophelia and said softly, “What’s wrong? Are you
okay?”
Ophelia took several breaths to recover from the severe pain. She felt that the bones of her whole body
had fallen apart. How painful!
However, seeing that Zachariah was so worried about her, she still managed to make a smiled and
said, “Zach, I'm fine. I fell accidently.”
Putting on a poker face, Zachariah carried her in his arms without saying a word, went out of the
bathroom and walked towards the bed.
Zachariah was angry, but he still carefully put her on the bed and let her lie on her stomach. He lifted
her clothes only to see a bruise on her back waist.
Ophelia wanted to turn over, but Zachariah wouldn’t let her. He directly lifted all her clothes. He finally
didn’t look that sullen when he saw no more than that bruise.
Ophelia was a little embarrassed for being treated like this. Anyone including her would feel shy.
“Zach, I'm fine. Really. I just fell accidentally. It didn’t hurt that much.” Ophelia pretended to be ok.
Zachariah was angry and distressed. He held his anger and said, “How did you fall?”
Ophelia didn’t dare to tell him that she fell directly because she had a blackout. She knew Zachariah
would send her to the hospital right away.
Ophelia was so worried. She was afraid that her eyes would be blind soon since the symptoms were
getting more and more serious.
“I was just thinking about something. I didn't notice there was a pool of water in front of me so I
accidentally stepped on it. I’m really ok. Don't worry.” Ophelia also pretended nothing had happened.
Zachariah fetched the ointment for injuries from falls and came back. He gently applied it to the bruise,
but he still looked sulky.
After that, he asked, "Any other wounds?"
Ophelia shook her head and turned over.
She sat up straight, caressed Zachariah’s cheek, and said, “I'm fine. Give me a smile. Don’t be sulky or
I’ll be afraid.”
Zachariah finally compromised.
He smiled and said, “Darling, tell me. What's the matter with you today? Why did you fall? Is there
anything wrong with your eyes?”
