Chapter 109 Unspoken Gratitude

But still, Nolan chose to quarantine here.

He pressed his lips together.

Eliza said, “Don’t worry, I’m not mad. It’s great you’ve got experts treating you. But… since they’re already coming, maybe let them take you back with them? This is the suburbs, after all. If something really happens to you, I can’t answer to the Hayes family.”

She genuinely meant it.

But in that instant, Nolan’s eyes flickered slightly. He said in a low voice, “I can’t go back.”

“Why not? You’re the heir to the Hayes family.”

Just one phone call had summoned a team of specialists for a private consultation.

Saying he couldn’t go back was clearly just an excuse.

Seeing him stay silent, Eliza’s gaze dimmed slightly.

“Fine. If you don’t want to go, then stay here. I still owe you.”

She handed him a thermometer. “Take your temperature. I’ll wait outside.”

With that, Eliza stepped out of his room.

About forty minutes later, Eliza heard hurried footsteps outside.

She figured it had to be Nolan’s people.

She opened the door and, sure enough, a group of specialists stood at the entrance.

One of the doctors spoke in fluent native language, asking, “Excuse me, is this the residence of Ms. Rivers?”

“If you’re looking for Nolan, he’s inside.”

Hearing that, the group of experts apologized politely, then entered the room.

All around were doctors in white coats, along with suited bodyguards and assistants.

Seeing the crowded scene, Eliza quietly put her mask back on.

That night, the specialists remained in the room next door conducting a full consultation for Nolan.

By the time Eliza woke up the next morning, they had already left.

And Nolan was up early, making breakfast.

Seeing him up and well, Eliza blinked. “You’re already better?”

“My fever’s gone down.”

“When did they leave?”

“Middle of the night,” Nolan said. “They were making too much noise. I didn’t want to disturb your rest.”

“… It was disturbing, yeah.”

Eliza hadn’t slept well during the first half of the night.

Only later had the noise finally died down.

“I made breakfast. Come eat.”

As he spoke, Nolan placed a vial of liquid medicine in front of Eliza. “If you get infected and can’t handle it, this’ll help.”

“What is it?”

Eliza picked up the vial.

She’d never seen medicine packaged like this before.

There was no label on the bottle–definitely not something sold on the public market.

Nolan said, “Doesn’t matter what it is. It works. It’ll kill the virus in your system. Way better than anything on the market. But… it can’t be shared.”

The moment she heard can’t be shared, Eliza went quiet.

Not shareable meant… it was privately manufactured.

But the flu had only been around for a month–how had they already developed something so effective?

“Eliza.”

“Yeah?”

“Do you drink milk?”

“I’ll take a cup.”

Eliza put the vial away.

Nolan poured her a glass of milk.

Only then did Eliza notice he was wearing a black, high–necked sweater–clearly loungewear.

He must’ve just showered. He smelled faintly of the same body wash she used,

“What’s wrong?”

“…Nothing.”

Eliza quickly looked away.

Why did I just get so caught up looking at Nolan?

So what if he’s a little handsome?
