"The fever has not subsided. Lie down." There was no hint of joy or anger in his tone. It was very faint, and no one could tell whether Lisa was coaxing or ordering her. His gaze was flat.

Jennie hugged the quilt and took a deep breath. She then looked at his face. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore, and no matter how sore her throat was, she still tried her best to speak in a voice that Lisa could hear clearly. "Lisa! I want my clothes! Give me clothes!"

Jennie then looked around anxiously, thinking that the dress she wore last night might be in the laundry basket. Previously, she had taken off all her clothes when she moved out of Greenville Residence. Other than the dress she wore last night, she had nothing more to wear.

Seeing that Lisa didn't seem to want to let her go, Jennie held back her anger.

When her feet touched the floor, she discovered that her entire body was as weak as a ball of cotton, and her legs were very weak.

Jennie hurriedly leaned back, and her body sat heavily on the bed. With a face full of remorse. she pressed down on the edge of the bed, gritted her teeth, and stood up once more.

She took two steps forward and felt a splitting headache. The moment Lisa came over to catch her, Jennie felt utterly humiliated! She struggled violently, but he easily held her down.

Lisa carried Jennie back to the bed and covered her with the blanket before pressing down her hands and feet. "Stop moving."

"I want clothes!"

"I'll get you some clothes." Out of the corner of her eye, Jennie saw a bottle of medical alcohol on the table beside the bed.

Thinking that Lisa must have used alcohol to cool down her body temperature last night, her heart moved slightly.

Lisa's tenderness and meticulous care immediately tore her heart apart. Jennie frowned as she looked around the room.

It was better for her to leave, and just as she was about to get off the bed again, Lisa brought a white shirt and put it on the bedside. "I've already sent someone to delivered your dress to the dry cleaner."

Jennie's face stiffened. Judging from the outfit's size, she could tell that this was something Lisa was wearing at home. It was obviously a new one, but how could she get out of the house by just wearing clothes like this?

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Lisa didn't say anything else. He turned around and walked out of the bedroom. At the same time, he said, "This afternoon, your luggage will arrive here. The rent has already been refunded. You don't need to think about returning to that house again."

"Refunds?" Jennie's expression changed, "I paid the rent for half a year!"

Moreover, according to the lease agreement, if Party B terminates the lease agreement, the money already paid will not be refunded at all. If Party A were to terminate the lease agreement, then the money paid will be twice the amount.

This was a very standard clause in the lease agreement and was a security form for both parties.

"Half a year's rent, do you think that's a big price for me to pay?" Lisa stood by the bedroom door and looked at her. "Jennie, you haven't even given me the most basic of trust."

Her breathing faltered.

It seemed that Lisa really did know the reason for she left without saying anything. Jennie tightened her grip on the quilt. If she really hadn't given him trust, she wouldn't have waited outside that hotel like a fool for three and a half hours and become so sick!

But what did Lisa mean by that? What was he trying to explain?

Jennie lifted her head to look at him and saw that Lisa's thin lips were pursed slightly. His usually dull expression was filled with helplessness, but he said calmly, "Nothing happened between Shi Zheng and me. I went to meet with her father at the hotel. I drank a few glasses of wine in Old Man Shi's room that night and chatted for a long time."

The coldness on Jennie's face instantly disappeared as she looked at him sleepily.

Old Man Shi?

Shi Zheng had said at that time that her father had also come to G City, so Lisa wasn't going to accompany Shi Zheng for a meal, but to visit Old Man Shi at the hotel with her?

Did she misunderstand?

But that night, Shi Zheng was wearing sexy and revealing clothes, and she was holding his arm. How could Jennie not be prejudiced against him?

Could it be ... Lisa had been indifferent to Shi Zheng all along? The three calls he made were to find her, to explain himself to her, but instead...

Jennie held her forehead. Had she gotten into this situation due to her momentary misunderstandings and her deliberate fear of avoiding reality? She sat on the bed and felt that her head had instantly turned into a pig's head.

She was such a hedgehog. She was really an unreasonable hedgehog. Had her guard already destroyed her rationality?

Jennie quickly got out of bed and took Lisa's white shirt. His shirt was originally loose and longer than the woman's, but still enough to cover her buttocks.

She grabbed the water glass on the bedside table and drank all the remaining water in the glass in one gulp, then rubbed her forehead and tried to clear her head as much as possible before standing up and dragging her cotton-like legs with her as she walked to the bedroom door.

The distance between the bed and the door of the bedroom was only a few steps, but it had already reached the limit of her temporary physical strength. While leaning against the door, Jennie gasped and raised her head to look outside.

After resting for a few seconds, she walked towards the kitchen and walked to the sofa. Only then did she see Lisa standing next to the cupboard with a frying pan in one hand and the stove in the other.

Jennie didn't expect that someone like Lisa, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, could cook. She leaned weakly against the sofa as she stared at the elegant and calm figure in the kitchen.

Therefore, Jennie insisted on going to the kitchen door, leaned her weak body against the wall, and watched his movements. She was looking at Lisa in a daze.

Lisa turned off the stove and looked at her. As his eyes met with hers, he saw that Jennie's clear eyes were filled with guilt and apology.

"I'm sorry ..." Jennie gripped the glass door frame embarrassedly. The guilt in her eyes grew even stronger.

"That's your hedgehog nature, isn't it?" Lisa smiled lightly and walked out carrying two plates full of food, placing them on the dining table.

When he glanced back and saw that Jennie was leaning against the kitchen door, he walked over and stopped beside her. Lisa lowered his eyes and looked at the guilt in Jennie's eyes, then sighed. "You woman, you are easily quick to prejudice."
