This time around, Lily was truly feeling unwell–her gastric problems were acting up again. She had not taken her medication before going out this morning, nor did she bring her medication with her. At first, she thought it wouldn’t be an issue.
As a result, her gastric problems began not long after they started sightseeing, and her stomach began hurting very badly.
Just then, Samson mentioned that Robert had run into some issues, so after considering it briefly, she decided to return with him.
To be honest, she wasn’t having a lot of fun anyway. The Star of Horizon Haven was a place where many couples went. Hence, only couples went there to take pictures.
Looking at the two rocks the Star of Horizon Haven was famous for, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, she could tell that Elijah was slightly displeased when she suggested they go back. Frankly speaking, his displeasure began when Samson decided to tag along with them. Still, she didn’t give much thought to the feelings of a person she would not have much to do with in the future.
After that. Lily separated from Samson and Elijah and returned to her room to take her medicine.
The doctor mentioned that she was suffering from a bacterial infe. ion in her stomach. Therefore, she had to take antibiotics on top of the medicine for her gastric problems. The doctor had prescribed her a ton of medicine–some were to be eaten before meals, while others were to be eaten after meals.
Lily endured the pain as she laid out all her medicine. Then, she took all the medicine that was to be taken before meals. It was a large handful of them, and it felt as if she would be full just from the water she needed to drink to swallow all of them.
After taking her medication, she lay down on the bed and curled into a bal
She had woken up too early this morning, so she began to drift off drowsily after lying there for a while. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a knock on the door.
She didn’t feel like moving. It didn’t matter who it was knocking on her door, for she had no intention of answering it. Luckily, the knocks stopped after a while.
Thinking that it was room service, she didn’t give it much thought and drowsily fell into slumber. She didn’t know how long she’d slept when she suddenly felt somebody approaching her.
Her awareness was quite sharp. Thus, Lily immediately jerked awake and sat up without warning.
Standing beside her bed were Robert, Samson, and the hotel manager.
When Samson saw Lily sitting up in bed, he released a long sigh of relief. “That scared me. I’m so glad you’re fine.”
Lily squinted and looked at him. “Of course, I’m fine. I was just sleepy.”
Then, he turned to look at Robert. “See what I told you? I said she was fine, but you wouldn’t believe me.”
She turned to look at Robert, too. “Did you think I fainted again?”
Robert didn’t answer. Instead, he turned to the hotel manager and said, “My apologies; it was my
mistake.”

At first, the hotel manager was terribly frightened. However, when he saw that Lily was fine, he waved his hand. “It’s fine. I’m glad nothing happened.”
After that, the hotel manager left. On the other hand, Robert and Samson stayed behind. Samson went to the living room outside to sit while Robert remained in the bedroom.
As Lily
died her hair, she looked at Robert. “What’s wrong? Do you need something from me?”
Robert nodded. “Yes, I do.”
She had previously seen Samson on the phone with Robert. After the call, Samson’s demeanor completely changed.
Her stomach had been very uncomfortable at the time, so she didn’t ask any questions. Now, she stared at Robert and asked, “What is it? Looking at your posture, you probably need my help, right?”
Robert studied her briefly and grunted in reply, saying, “Yes, I do need your help.”
With that, Lily sat cross–legged on the bed. “Speak. What do you need my help with?”

For a moment, he couldn’t speak. Not long ago, they agreed that they would no longer have anything with each other in the future. After all, they were divorced. In the future, they were bound to find a new partner. For that reason, they should not be clinging to each other.
However, what he had to say was the complete opposite of what they previously agreed on. Thus, he found it hard to bring up.
She stared at him for a while. Seeing how he remained silent for a long while, she found it rather amusing. “What’s wrong? Is it difficult to talk about?”
He pondered over it for a moment. “Not really. It’s just that the incident where I was drugged during the party last night has been brought to light.”
Lily nodded. “Well?”
Robert pursed his lips. “I had no choice but to claim that I was with you at the time, and the person I slept with was you.”
