Adair beside Ryan is having a disdain look too.
These two people... What is wrong with them in the middle of the night?
Eunice is confused by the scene and asks, "What's the matter?"
Just before Ryan speaks, Adair cannot wait to complain, "Eunice, I'm sleepy. I want to bath first, but
Ryan insists on him bathing first!"
Eunice is shocked, but she still keeps on smiling, thinking that their only question is... Who will shower
first?
What is all the fuss about?
Although she is not sure what the big deal is that a man in his thirties quarrelling with a child, she still
patiently advises the man. "You're an adult, why being so childish? Adair wants to bathe first, then just
let him."
After hearing Eunice's words, Adair is even more arrogant, crossing his arms in front of his chest, as if
he is not afraid of anyone.
Ryan is even sulky, “I have trichophobia."
"What?" Eunice thinks she misheard, "What phobia?"
"I don't like seeing hairs shedding. It's uncomfortable."
"..."
Eunice is speechless at the moment for hearing this kind of reason the first time. She doesn't know
what to say.
She looks around her room, and suddenly she has a light bulb moment when she sees her bathroom,
"I haven't showered yet. You can use my bathroom for a shower. I will go with Adair to your place.
Okay?"
Ryan has a glance at Adair and walks into Eunice's room without saying a word.
Eunice feels relieved and takes Adair back to Ryan's room. She then lets the child take a shower after
adjusting the water temperature in the bathroom.
Eunice sits in the small living room outside the master bedroom while the child is taking a bath. She
has to be cautious, as the child is still young.
Ryan books a suite for them. There is a small bed outside his room with his pyjamas on it. She can tell
that Ryan is letting the kid sleep on the big bed.
She can't understand Ryan. He loves Adair so much but why he didn't give in to Adair on the bathing
problem. He is always busy and doesn't have time. He comes back to China to stay with Adair because
Adair's mother has been away for too long.
When Eunice recalls the funny moment outside just now, she suddenly realizes that she doesn't know
what kind of person Ryan is.
Previously, she only knows the complicated and dark side of this man. But until now she then realizes
that he has such a childish side too.
After about 15 minutes, Adair comes out of the shower with his clothes changed, and water is still
dripping from his wet hair. Eunice takes a hairdryer from the side and dries his hair thoroughly.
"Eunice, you're so nice to me." Adair looks at Eunice with his big eyes.
Eunice smiles as she blow-dries all the water stains dripping down on him just now, "I like you, you're
so cute. Everyone likes you."
"Then Eunice, do you like my uncle?" the kiddo suddenly asks. But it is not the first time he asks, he
seems to be very persistent about this question.
Eunice can see the seriousness of Adair through his big bright eyes. She stops talking in a perfunctory
way fooling the child every time.
So Eunice thinks over the question earnestly and gives a doubtful but strict answer, "I guess... I like
him?"
To be honest, even she is a bit confused about her feelings towards Ryan, not to mention clarifying
them with Adair.
However, she doesn't intend to make it clear. It is better to stay in the middle zone than having things to
an extreme point.
"That's good. In fact, although my uncle is always bickering with me, he still treats me well. He is a very
good person." Adair tries his best advocating Ryan. Aside from Ryan really treats him well, it is partly
because the kid thinks that if he doesn't say so, his uncle might not be able to find a wife for the rest of
his life.
Eunice smiles as she listens to Adair, emphasizing it on purpose, "I know..."
After lulling Adair to sleep, Eunice waits for another ten minutes but still no signs of the man in the next
room.
She is surprised that it might just take about 10 minutes for Ryan to take a shower. Has he...
encountered any problems?
Eunice tucks Adair in and decides to go back to her room to check on him.
She gently shuts the door and takes out another room card to open her room. The room, which was
brightly lit just now, is in total darkness. She is stunned and realizes that there is no sound of water
coming out of the bathroom.
She is worried, so she dashes in and rushes to the side of the room. As she just wants to insert the
room card into the slot, her arm is suddenly grabbed before she can touch it!
"Ah... Um!" Before she can fully scream, her mouth is already being covered by a big broad hand.
She nearly jumps out of her skin as she is being dragged onto the bed. She can't even see well who
the person in front of her is.
She can feel the warmth of the big heavy body pressing down on her. She touches the wet body when
she tries to block it. It is wet like it has just taken a bath and hasn't had time to wipe it off.
She widens her eyes in surprise while tilting her head to the side, crying in a low voice, "Ryan, is that
you?"
"Don't shout!" The man's voice is hoarse and raspy. But even that, Eunice can still tell that it was him.
"What's wrong with you?" She looks toward him panicky as she tries to adapt to the darkness. She is
still able to see a little of his face with the light from outside the window.
He seems to be drunk and looks a little chaotic throughout.
"Are you sick?" Eunice is worried about him feeling uncomfortable as she raises her hand to check the
temperature of his forehead. However, her wrist is being clutched as soon as she touches his skin.
"Don't move!" The man growls in a low voice while panting heavily as if he just had a marathon.
Not to mention the high heat of his body, even his breath is scalding hot. Eunice is being pressed
underneath Ryan. His entire body is taut as if he is trying to restrain something.
It makes Eunice feeling uncomfortable and asks, “Ryan, what's wrong with you..."
This time, the man closes his eyes and not even answering her. She can see those bulging veins on
the side of his face.
Eunice breaks out in a cold sweat as she wonders what had happened to him taking a shower in the
last 40 minutes.
Is it possible that he has some kind of invisible illness or a sudden illness?
She is even panicked thinking of it. When she sees the pained look on Ryan's face, she doesn't care
about the warning and tries to push Ryan up, "Ryan, get up! I'm taking you to the hospital!"
When Eunice little cold hands touch his scorching chest unintentionally, Ryan seems to have lost his
mind.
Everything is no longer under control...
