Facing ude''s questioning gaze, Morwenna shook her head. "No, why would you think that?"


    ude stared into Morwenna''s eyes, "Then why haven''t I been able to reach youtely? It''s my


    fault for falling sick and taking time off. I won''t do it again. Please, don’t leave, okay?"


    Morwenna frowned slightly, "I had someone notify you that I needed to take a few days off."


    "No, you must be tired of me. Didn''t you say you''d send me pictures? Didn''t you promise to show


    me the world outside?"


    "That''s because I didn''t have my phone with me these past few days."


    Morwenna wasn''t one for beating around the bush. If there was an issue, it needed to be addressed


    directly.


    ude seemed taken aback.

    Morwenna raised her left hand for ude to see, "Look, I had an ident recently and injured


    myself. I''ve been in the hospital until today."


    ude''s expression changed dramatically at the sight of Morwenna''s bandaged palm and splinted


    fingers.


    A moment of worry reced his previous despondency.


    His voice grew louder with concern, "Ms. Winslet, what happened to you? How did you get hurt so


    badly? I… I…"


    Morwenna sighed at the sight of the troubled young man before her, "I''m alright now. The real


    question is, why haven''t you been taking your medication?"


    ude hung his head, taking on a sorry look.


    Morwenna pulled out the medication provided by the butler, "How many of these should I give you?


    And what about these?"


    "Two of each at a time."


    Morwenna was about to split the pills, but seeing her struggle, ude quickly took the pills,


    swallowing them dry before Morwenna could react, as if fearing her anger if he dyed.


    "Hey, you…"


    Morwenna quickly handed him a ss of water, finding herself at a loss for words.


    After taking a few sips, ude asked cautiously, "Ms. Winslet, there''s so much I don''t understand.


    Could you tutor me today?"


    Unable to say no to ude''s hopeful look, Morwenna agreed, "Alright, let''s see what you''re having


    trouble with."


    The prospect of returning to Stuart was daunting, so she decided to stay.


    ude''s eyes lit up as he began to ask questions.


    Despite her left hand being out ofmission, Morwenna''s right was fine, enabling her to tutor


    without issue.


    ude had umted many questions over the days they hadn''t seen each other, eager like a


    diligent student needing to catch up.


    Morwenna answered patiently as time ticked by.


    Before they knew it, two hours flew by, ude still had loads of questions, and Morwenna wasn''t


    making any move to leave.


    Midway, the butler brought in a variety of foods.


    ude nodded in appreciation.


    Back when Morwenna was scrimping and saving every day, ude always tried to prepare


    delicious food for her visits.


    Morwenna treated every eager student with seriousness, just as Melvin had done for her, with


    patience and kindness.


    After addressing all of ude''s questions, it was already 11 p.m.


    Morwenna stood up to stretch her shoulders, and ude immediately rose to ask, "Ms. Winslet, are


    you leaving?"


    His eyes conveyed a sense of unease.


    Morwenna sat back down, her heart softening.


    In ude, she saw a reflection of her younger self.


    Though worlds apart, with ude living a life of luxury and she having struggled, Morwenna felt a


    connection.


    ude seemed to mirror her own youthful disillusionment with the world and its people, clinging to


    Melvin''s kindness as her only sce.


    In that moment, Morwenna felt as if she had be Melvin.


    "I''ll stick around a bit more. If you''re not up for snoozing yet, why don''t we read? Got any favorite


    bookstely?"
