Yuliana rushed out of Zorion's bedroom.
When she ran out, she happened to see Ruth.
Yuliana was shocked. "Why are you here?"
Ruth looked awkwardly at her. "Why... I don't really know Madam Yuliana. I live here, I suppose."
Yuliana looked at Ruth impatiently. "What are you so worried about? Go to sleep already."
Ruth hesitated for a moment then said, "But Madam Yuliana, Mr. Zorion needs someone to look after him."
She had expected for Yuliana to leave not too long after because she had always been impatient with Zorion. That's why Ruth decided to wait outside. She was right to have done so.
Zorion had a high fever. He would need someone to keep watch over him in his current condition. She figured she would do it the moment Yuliana left.
Yuliana's face fell. "I'm ordering you to go to sleep. Enough of this nonsense. Zorion is fast asleep now and he doesn't need anyone to watch over him. Hurry up and go to sleep!"
Seeing how stern Yuliana was right now, Ruth had no other choice but to comply and went back to her bedroom.
After sitting in her bedroom for a few minutes, she realized that something seemed very wrong.
Even though Zorion had fallen asleep, she still felt like she should watch over him.
What if his body temperature suddenly spiked in the middle of the night?
Someone has to be there to take care of him if that happened!
Ruth left her bedroom and sneaked back into Zorion's bedroom.
Ruth was shocked the moment she walked into his bedroom.
Zorion wasn't asleep at all.
He was sitting up on his bed with his face blushing abnormally red.
Ruth was shocked.
She quickly walked over and placed her hand on Zorion's forehead. "Mr. Zorion, what's wrong with you?"
She thought that Zorion was having another high fever, but after checking his forehead, she found that it wasn't hot at all.
Just as Ruth was wondering what was going on, she felt her hand being grabbed.
She was stunned.
Zorion had grabbed Ruth's hand.
"Mr. Zorion..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zorion suddenly moved close to hear and placed his lips on her lips.
Ruth's eyes widened in astonishment.
Before she could react to this, she was pulled onto the bed. Then, Zorion's body pressed down on her...
At this time, Tremaine was in the study.
He was reading the comments on the internet about him and Yesseca. Just then, the door to the study swung open.
Yesseca then walked in.
Tremaine immediately switched the computer off.
Yesseca looked very uneasy and scared.
She then asked, "Tremaine, are the people of Nashaland really going to take to the streets to protest our marriage?"
Tremaine was a stark contrast to Yesseca right now. While she was panicking and worrying about things, he remained indifferent to everything.
He then said, "You don't have to worry about that."
There was no way Yesseca could ignore any of this.
Yesseca wanted to be with Tremaine as well.
After she had promised to be with Tremaine, she thought that she would never leave him ever again.
But this situation...
She was really worried about Tremaine. She really couldn't stay with him. She would rather fall into the ocean herself and let Tremaine stay on the boat. She didn't want Tremaine to get into trouble because of her.
"Tremaine, I... I understand what you're saying." A moment later, Yesseca said, "I just got really worried when I thought about the people wanting to protest tomorrow against us getting married."
"You don't have to worry about that." He spoke confidently. "With me around, everything will be fine."
"How are you going to resolve this?" Yesseca asked.
"You don't have to worry about that. It's late. Go to bed."
Yesseca didn't leave.
She looked at Tremaine with her eyes wide open and asked, "Didn't you just say that you wanted us to weather storms together? Why are you telling me not to worry about it? If we're going to get through this together, then I have to know what your plan is. Otherwise, we're not doing it together
at all!"
Tremaine was quiet.
After a brief moment of consideration, Tremaine said, "I have thought about tomorrow's situation for quite some time now. I intentionally allowed things to escalate, hoping that things would reach their breaking point. I wholly expect the public to cause as much trouble as they possibly can."
Yesseca's eyes widened in surprise.
Preslie had told her that Tremaine had known about this for the longest time but had simply let the matter sit and often ignored it. Yesseca didn't believe this at first, but now it was obviously true.
She had no idea what Tremaine was planning about at all.
''Anything that is destroyed can be rebuilt."
Tremaine suddenly uttered that out loud.
