Elspeth knew that this matter was not so simple. Merely apprehending Jorman wouldn’t be enough.
But for now, she couldn’t find any leverage against Alphascape Group.

Yena was a very meticulous person. Even the phone number she used tomunicate with Jorman
was from overseas, which made it difficult to trace.
However, it wasn’t entirely impossible.
In the evening, Frank had already prepared the meal and went upstairs to invite Raque for dinner,
only to find her peacefully sleeping in bed.
These past few days of taking care of Mariana had taken a toll on her.
After seeing her so exhausted, he didn’t have the heart to wake her up and simply tucked her in.
Perhaps his movements were a bit too drastic, Raque, who was sound asleep, suddenly woke up.
She froze after seeing him crouching beside her with an indulgent smile on his face.
“When did youe in?”
Frank suddenly realized that he had barged into someone else’s room without permission and felt a bit
embarrassed as he scratched his head.
“I came to tell you that dinner’s ready, but you didn’t respond. I thought something happened to you, so
I came in to check. Turns out you were just too tired and fell asleep. If you want to continue sleeping, I
won’t disturb you. I can reheat the food for you when you want to eat.”
A wave of warmth filled Raque’s heart.
“It’s okay. I’ll get up now and eat.”
She uncovered the nket and was about to put on her slippers when suddenly she felt dizzy, and her
vision blurred.
He clearly noticed her difort and his tone carried a hint of anxiety. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling
unwell?”
“It’s nothing. Maybe I just haven’t been getting enough resttely, so I feel a bit dizzy.”
After resting for a while and feeling better, Raque stood up.
“Let’s go.”
-However, Frank remained standing still. When she turned back and looked at him in confusion, he
suddenly turned around and scooped her up in his arms.
“Frank, what are you doing?”
She was startled, but due to inertia, her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck.
“Hold on tight. I’ll take you to have dinner.”

He secretly shed a smile, though no one noticed that his ears had already turned crimson.

Just like that, Raque was carried out to have dinner by him. Under the sparkling gaze of his starry
eyes, she gave high praise to the meal he had prepared.
“It’s delicious.”
His eyes instantly shone even brighter.
“I’ll cook for you every day from now on then.”
Her expression turned somewhat strange, and she awkwardly smiled.
Couldn’t he see that she was speaking without a clear conscience?
The fish was a bit too salty; the rice was a bit hard; the pork ribs, which were supposed to be sweet,
tasted spicy, and she couldn’t tolerate any spiciness…
However, looking at his expectant expression, Raque couldn’t bring herself to criticize him.
Moreover, she had been busy taking care of her aunt these days, and many things at home were taken
care of by Frank. She was grateful to him beyond words.
So, she nodded firmly.
“Okay. Thank you.”
However, he suddenly acted like a rogue.
“Well, since you’ve eaten my food, you have to be my girlfriend.”
Raque choked on her food.
“Why?”
Her face turned red from choking on the food, and after coughing hard, she finally asked this question.
There’s no reason for it. It just popped into my mind all of a sudden Frank propped his chin with one
hand as he looked at her intently. “It’s also something I’ve been nning for a long time.”
She didn’t know how to respond for a while. After struggling for a long time, she managed toe up
with a sentence
“I’ll take it as a joke.”
His face immediately dropped.
“Why would you take it as a joke! I’m not joking
Raque felt a bit awkward. “Because I’ve never considered this before. I’ve never thought about
dating. I also didn’t expect you to like me
Frank ced both hands on the table while looking somewhat puzzled “Why? Isn’t it obvious that I like
you?”
“Is it?”

Frank grunted his teeth in frustration Tve been treating you so well. I followed you home, stayed here,

“All right. Now that you know I like you, can you
I go out with me?”
Frank’s gaze was filled with fervor, almost as if he could burn a hole in her heart.
I don’t know I haven’t considered the idea of dating before”
Raque sounded somewhat helpless, but she slowly expressed her thoughts.

I’ve had men pursue me before, but I never took them seriously because I always felt that I wasn’t

He looked at her and followed up with a tight response. “I think we are verypatible.”
Raque shook her head. Although those men weren’t particrly outstanding, they still had decent.
qualities. The fundamental reason why I didn’t want to be with them was that I felt I wasn’t worthy of
them
Frank frowned “Why?”
“I don’t know” She rubbed her temples. “If you truly like me, you should consider it carefully.”
Frank pressed his hands on her shoulders and asked, “What about me? What do you think about me?”

He suddenly fel a hint of frustration “So, you think I’m even worse than those men?”
That was the image she had of him in her heart.
Raque was surprised “Why would you think that? I’ve never belittled you”
“Not only that, but I also think you’re outstanding. I simply can’t measure up to you.”
He looked at her and realized she wasn’t saying it insincerely. Feeling helpless, he asked, “What do

She felt a bit embarrassed to answer such a question. With her head down, she recounted quietly. “I
feel inadequate in all aspects, I think you deserve someone better, so I don’t understand why you like
me.”
“Raque.”
Raque looked up. This seemed to be the first time he called her name with such emphasis.
“Do you really think I care about those things?”
She didn’t know how to respond and could only helplessly say, “How about we forget about it for now?
Let’s not talk about this.”

“Forget it? You think that you aren’t a good match for me, so you’re treating my feelings this way,
right?” Frank forced himself to swallow his anger as he growled. “Raque, do you know how deep my
feelings are for you?”
However, Raque did not wish to continue the conversation any longer. Now, her mind was in turmoil
and she was unable to think of any answer. “All right, let’s save this conversation for next time.”
Frank could only let out a helpless sigh at the sight of her frantic expression. “Okay, I won’t ask you
anything before you can ept the answer. I hope that you can really think about it carefully.”
She nodded, feeling a trace of guilt inexplicably well up in her heart as she looked at his look of
disappointment. However, at this point in time, things would only continue to go further downhill the
more they spoke about it,
In the end, the two ended their talk in an awkward atmosphere. They weren’t particrly giving each
other the cold shoulder, but as Frank’s enthusiasm seemed to have quelled, Raque didn’t go out of
her way to spark a conversation with him either.
Upon returning to her room, she suddenly began to feel an ache in her throat and a wave of nausea.
Hence, she nned to take a short rest on the bed, but she unexpectedly drifted off to sleep instead.
In her dreams, she felt a strange sensation, as if a ball of fire was burning in her chest. Wishing to put
out this fire, she frantically ran all over the ce to look for a source of water, but her efforts were futile.

In the end, just as she was frantically tearing at her clothes, a hand suddenly grabbed hers and pulled
her into an embrace. “Don’t be scared.”
Raque shook her head as she desperately attempted to break free, but the hand held onto her so
tightly that she was unable to put up a fight. Atst, she startled awake from her dream only to see
Frank sitting next to her and holding her in his arms without budging an inch.
“Frank..” She opened her mouth, only to find that her throat was achingly sore, making it arduous to
utter even a single word.
“If I’m not wrong, you’ve probably tested positive. Since you’re not feeling well, take a good rest and
stop imagining things.”
He pulled out a sheet of tissue and began to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead.
Instantly, Raque panicked, and she looked at him frantically as if silently reprimanding him for his
recklessness.
“It’s all right. You don’t have to worry about me.”
As Frank looked at her, his gaze gradually softened. “It’s fine if I get infected as long as I can take care
of you.”
At his words, Raque squeezed the words out of her throat in a hoarse voice, saying, “I… I don’t want
you to take care of me. Hurry up and leave before you get infected too…”
Even so, Frank insisted obstinately, “What’s the problem with taking care of you? I already said that I
don’t care about getting infected, so what are you worried about?”
Raque immediately lost her temper and mustered all her strength to shove him away from her. “Do
