C35 This Matter Is Not Simple.

"It's not that simple."

Only then did Reece realize that he had not expressed his intention clearly in his panic.

"Don't misunderstand. I'm only talking about sleeping in the same room," he added. He reached out and took the blanket that Lydia had been hugging tightly in her arms and placed it on the bed.

Lydia was shocked. "What are you doing?"

"Do you want to sleep on the bed?"

The man tilted his head and looked at Lydia. Seeing that she was not refuting, he threw her on the bed. "You are still having a fever. I will allow you to sleep on the bed tonight."

"No, there's no need. I'll just sleep on the floor." Lydia went over to pull her blanket.

"Alright, I'll welcome you to sleep on the floor with me anytime." Reece said. The woman's hand that was holding the blanket suddenly loosened.

Seeing this, the man smiled bitterly in his heart.

How unwilling was she to have any contact with him? She was so decisive when she let go of him!

He stopped thinking about it and took the initiative to go to the bed.

Seeing that the man had laid down, Lydia finally laid back on the bed.

However, she laid on the bed closest to the man.

She didn't dare to fall asleep until she heard the man's breathing become heavy.

Perhaps because she was too tired, she fell asleep in less than a minute.

At this moment, the man's eyes opened.

Under the moonlight, he looked at the curled up little person on the bed with a complicated look in his eyes.

The next day.

In the dining room.

Reece lowered his head and glanced at the clock on the wall. His eyes unintentionally glanced at a certain room on the second floor.

It was still closed!

He retracted his gaze and looked at the warm soup on the table again.

"Ms. Liu, it's cold."

"Mr. Tillman, I'll heat it up for you right now." Ora did not understand what he meant and reached out to get the soup on the table.

The man frowned.

He closed the magazine and walked out. "Go and bring it over to her."

Ora was obviously stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I'll send it over to the Young Lady right away."

Ouch, the silly boy finally opened his heart.

He knew that he was heartbroken for his wife.

When Ora touched the bowl of soup, she seemed to have thought of something and retracted her hand. "Mr. Tillman, please bring the soup over personally."

"Hmm?" The man suddenly raised his head.

"I... My stomach hurts!" Before Reece could say anything, Ora covered her stomach and ran to the bathroom.

Reece glanced at the soup on the table and finally picked it up and walked to the second floor.

In the bathroom, Ora followed the door and watched the man walk up with a smile on her face.

She quickly took out her phone and reported the latest progress to the old man of the Tillman family.

At this moment, in the room.

*Crack!*

The sound of the door opening could be heard. Lydia suddenly opened her eyes.

When she saw the man walk in, she quickly sat up.

"Awake?" Reece walked over to her, ignoring her cautious expression.

He handed the soup to her expressionlessly. "Drink the chicken soup while it's still hot."

Lydia froze for a second as she looked at the chicken soup in front of her before reaching out to take it.

Seeming to have noticed her small movements, the man added, "Don't misunderstand, Ora's stomach hurts. Let me help her carry it."

He didn't want to bring it over.

Not at all.

"Okay, I know." This man would never take the initiative to care about her in his entire life. In his previous life, she didn't even get to see him until she died. "But thank you."

"Okay."

Reece nodded. His dark eyes seemed to have lost their light for some reason.

Lydia drank a few mouthfuls of the chicken soup and looked at Reece on the sofa. She asked, "Have you found out anything about Amelia?"

"No abnormalities."

"Then can you send someone to help me investigate the relationship between Amelia and Viola?" Lydia took a sip of the chicken soup and looked at the man with some hope.

It would be too obvious if she went to investigate the matter personally. She was afraid that she would alert the enemy before she could find anything.

"Viola?" The man looked at Lydia curiously.

In order for the man to be willing to help her, she had to tell him what happened between Viola and Amelia yesterday.

As expected, the man readily agreed. "Alright, I'll get someone to keep an eye on their communication."

Lydia had always been so enthusiastic when it came to Maria.

In the past, this small matter might have made her feel bitter, but now, she didn't feel anything.

After that day, the two of them seemed to have reached an agreement not to mention anything about what happened that night.

After recovering from her illness, Lydia returned to school.

As she was in the same class as Viola, they bumped into each other.

She found an inconspicuous corner and stayed there. She wanted to hide, but she didn't expect Viola to sit beside her.

"Sister, where did you go after you signed up yesterday?" Viola suddenly asked.

Lydia's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was the one who had eavesdropped on their conversation?

It shouldn't be.

Lydia pretended to smile calmly. "We're home. What's wrong?"

"It's fine... It's fine..." Viola shook her head and took out her notebook. However, she did not move her pen even after she had been holding it for a long time.

Lydia could tell that Viola had something on her mind, but she didn't say it out loud.

What on earth made Viola so hesitant?

Just as Lydia was puzzled, she heard the two girls behind her discussing.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, Pauline fainted on the stairs."

"It's said that her parents refused to recognize her after she fell down and even broke one of her arms!" Another girl chimed in, her voice filled with shock.

"Tsk, usually, Pauline is arrogant because she has some money in her family. I think she has retribution. Serves her right!" Another girl snorted. There was no sympathy in her voice.

Her words immediately drew the agreement of the crowd.

"Exactly, she deserves it!"

"You're right, let her continue to show off."

The few of them looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with sin.

At this moment, the pen in her hand froze.

Pauline fell from the rooftop!

"What do you mean by she fell down herself? How could she fall so miserably? I think she must have offended someone and gotten her revenge!" Suddenly, a different voice sounded.

The hand holding the pen subconsciously tightened.

She suddenly understood what Viola meant by her question.

It turned out that Viola suspected that she had taken revenge on Pauline.

"Sister." Seeing that she seemed to be deep in thought, Viola came over again. "Did you hear what they said just now?"

"Okay." Lydia nodded without batting an eyelid as she continued to do her notes.

"Sister, Pauline did not fall by herself. She was pushed down the stairs by someone." Viola intentionally revealed this information to Lydia. She stared at her without blinking. She wanted to find some clues from her expression.

Lydia had already known what she was thinking, so she pretended to be shocked, "Really?"

Seeing that her reaction was normal, Viola was slightly disappointed, but she still continued, "Sister, do you really not know who pushed Viola?"

"Viola, what are you trying to say?"

As if noticing her displeasure, Viola thought for a moment and said, "That man is taking revenge for you."

For her?

A man?

Lydia's eyes were filled with astonishment. Who taught Pauline a lesson?

She forced her thoughts back and looked at Viola, "What's the man like?"
