    “She is “Bartlett opened his mouth, about to spill the beans that Ellinor was Theo’s wife.


    At this point, Ellinor cut him off and said to Floy, “We met when we were both sick. So, I guess you


    could say we’re sick buddies”


    “Sick buddies? Floy was taken aback.


    Bartlett did not expect Ellinor’s response. His eyebrows furrowed, but theer of his mouth curled up,


    eager to hear what she would say next. Ellinor nodded, “Yes, we’re sick buddies. We met in a group


    chat for people with the same illness. We were just discussing his condition”


    Floy turned to Bartlett in astonishment, “You’re sick? Why didn’t you tell me?”


    Ellinor feigned surprise, “Ah? You didn’t tell her?”


    Bartlett chuckled, “Yeah, I haven’t had the chance to tell her yet.”


    Ellinor quickly apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to b.”


    Bartlett shook his head. It’s okay. She would have found out sooner orter.”


    Floy was confused “What kind of illness do you have? You can’t keep it a secret from me!”


    Before Bartlett could answer, Ellinor began to exin. “Ms. Lewis, don’t worry. His illness is not serious,


    and it won’t threaten his life. It’s a rare disease that is only a little bit contagious, but as long as he


    takes good care of himself…

    Ellinor hadn’t finished her sentence when Floy jumped up at the mention of “contagious.”


    She grew pale, obviously recalling her previous contact with Bartlett.


    Even the shop assistants unconsciously took a step back.


    After seeing Floy’s reaction, Ellinor reassured her. “Ms. Lewis, don’t worry too much. It’s not very


    contagious, but it’s hard to cure. Once you get it, it might be with you for life.


    Floy didn’t know what to say. She took out her phone, typed a few words, and sent them off.


    In no time, her phone rang.


    She gave an awkwardugh. “Sorry, I have to take this call.”


    After answering the call, she spoke loudly to the person on the other end.


    “What? You’re all together waiting for me? Alright, I’ll be there soon.”


    After hanging up, Floy turned back. This time, she didn’t get close to Bartlett.


    “Bartlett, I have to go meet my friends. They’re waiting for me to go to a spa. I can’t apany you


    anymore.”


    Bartlett stood up and reached for his car keys, ‘No problem, I can give you a ride.


    Floyughed awkwardly and quickly declined, “No need, you don’t often catch


    Bartlett had no choice but to agree, “Alright, take care on your way.”


    “Okay, got it! I’ll be going then! Ms. Mendoza, you guys carry on!”


    up with your sick buddy. You guys should chat.’


    With that, Floy made a quick exit from the store, as if trying to get as far away from Bartlett as possible.


    The shop assistants quickly retrieved the bag that Floy had picked, treating it like a hot potato. They


    held it with two fingers and moved away, ready to disinfect the bag.
