Chapter 96


    There was no hot water supply in this ce.


    She turned on the faucet and filled the tub, then put his coat, shirt, and pants in, sprinkle with washing


    powder, and rubbed them with her hands.


    The water was biting cold. She could barely keep her hands from freezing. But she adapted to it after a


    while.


    A washing machine was on the side. She could use it t o spin the clothes dry. Otherwise, the clothes


    would still be wet by tomorrow morning.


    After cleaning things up, she could finally go to bed.


    The cold was a concern because there was no heating i n the room. But her worries turned out to be


    unnecessary-Mark’s body heat warmed the bed like a firece.


    After a day on the road, Summer was getting motion sickness. So she crashed out as soon as shey


    on the bed.


    At night, the room was so quiet that only the faint sound of their breathing was in the air.


    Early the next morning, when Mark woke us, Summer


    was still snuggling in his arms.


    Cold made her body curling up into a ball and instinctively snuggling up against him. Her hands


    wrapped around him, and her cheeks red. The corner o f her mouth turned up so slightly, as if she was

    smiling.


    Mark raised an eyebrow, with the corner of his mouth curling up. He carefully took her hands off him


    before he got out of bed.


    He cast his eyes out on the balcony and saw his clothes fluttering in the chilly wind.


    He walked out and took them in his hand. They were all dry, fresh and clean, with a faint smell of


    fragrance. So he took them back in.


    His face broke out in a gentle smile. 1


    Without Mark as a human firece, the cold woke Summer up. When she opened her eyes, she found


    Mark was not beside her.


    She sat up on the bed and put on her clothes, then went to wash her face and brushed her teeth. The


    icy waterpletely woke her up now.


    When she re-emerged from the bathroom, Mark was sitting at the table. Two buckets of instant ramen


    were in front of him. He tapped on the table with his fingers. "Let’s get some breakfast."


    She nodded and sat down at the table, then looked at him. He was eating like a gentleman.


    She shrugged and felt a little surprised, as she never knew Mark would eat instant ramen.


    As if Mark had sensed her stare, he looked up from his ramen. "Aren''t you eating? There is nothing


    else to eat here. We will have to make do with this.”


    Compromise had never been in Mark''s dictionary. Summer was pleasantly surprised.


    She sat with her back straight, shaking her head, and chuckled. "I thought instant ramen was not your


    cup o f tea?"


    "Not that bad after all." He had finished the ramen and the soup, looking up at her. He looked


    unspeakably sexy with a tiny stain left on his lip.


    After the so-called breakfast, the two headed straight t o the hospital. Jazz was already in the ward,


    cracking jokes, while Raineughed in amusement.


    "I will be fine. Summer is here. You two should go," Raine said gently to Mark and Jazz. "They need


    help outside. Staying here is not going to help anything. Just go."


    Mark nodded and looked at Summer. "Call me if anything."


    "Okay.” Summer nodded.


    After the two left, silence fell. Things became a little awkward in the room.


    Summer and Raine had only met a few times and never talked to each other before this. So the


    awkward atmosphere was expected.
