“Room service, now?”
Josiah became even more anxious. “I ordered something. It must be the waiter bringing it up.”
The phone was still ringing.
Lysander spoke up. “Go and answer it quickly. It’s quite loud. Let’s not disturb others rest.”
Josiah gave a nod, quickly entering the suite.
Roughly two minutes had passed when he emerged, a paper bag in hand. He gave it a little wave for her to see. “Indeed, it was a delivery from the service stall.”
Lysander took a closer look. The paper bag wasn’t large, clearly insufficient for holding food. For a moment, she couldn’t discern what was inside.
“I’m heading back to sleep.”
Josiah nodded. “All right.”
However, she spent the entire night awake.
She sent a message back to Adrian, telling him that she might have to stay in the country for a bit longer as a family member had been admitted to the hospital.
Adrian asked: Do you need my help?
Lysander politely declined, assuring that she could handle it herself.
Adrian didn’t insist, either. He wrote: Then, I’ll help you keep an eye on the house.
After some thought, Lysander messaged: As for the house you had helped me look at, I’ve decided not to rent it for
now.
He replied: The location of this house is pretty good, and it comes with great amenities. It’s highly sought after. I’ll reserve it for you first. Otherwise, someone else might snatch it up.
She sighed, eventually typing out two words: No need.
This time, Adrian took a long time to reply.
Several minutes had passed before he finally sent a message: Is now a good time for a call?
She responded: Sure.
Soon, his call came through.
“Lysander?”
“Dr. Sutton.” Lysander’s voice was somewhat subdued due to a hint of guilt. “I might not be going to

No.
Perhaps it was because of her swift and decisive response Adrian visibly relaxed. “I thought…”
“What is it?”
“It’s nothing.” Adriart said. “Is it your dad, mom, or sister who’s fallen ill? I’ll have Aiden arrange for some caregivers to go over.”
“It’s neither. It’s a different relative.”
“A relative who lives close to your family?”
“That’s not exactly the case, but… I have to stay and take care of her.”
Adrian said, “I trust that there’s a reason behind every decision you make. So… how about this? I’ll cancel the house for now, and when you return to Stounia, you can stay with me first. Then, I’ll help you find another house. Does that sound okay?”
Lysander felt an overwhelming sense of guilt welling up inside her. She didn’t know how to respond. “Can we talk about it later. Is that okay?”
“Okay, the puppy can stay at my place for now.”
“All right.”
“Lysander, why don’t you name it? We can’t keep calling it ‘puppy‘ forever.”
Lysander switched her mobile phone to her other hand and said, “You can name it.”
“This is the dog Rina gave you, so you’re its owner.”
“I’m not very good at naming stuff. Why don’t you do it?”
After a moment of contemplation, Adrian asked, “How about I name it ‘White Coat‘? You’re a doctor, and you wear a white lab coat to work every day. It just so happens that its fur is also white.”
“Sounds good.”
“Is that settled, then?”
“Yes.
Vaguely, Lysander spotted a figure slowly making their way toward her.
She said over the phone, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up now.”
“All right.”
“Goodbye.”
“Lysander,” Adrian said, “When you’re in our country, taking care of a sick person, you must also take good care of yourself”
