Chapter 364 
After everything that happened tonight, they decided not to go to Rose Manor and returned to the hotel. Haller took Querna back to her room and turned up the heater to the maximum. He then changed her clothes and tucked her into bed 
Once everything was settled, he finally noticed how unsteady his steps were and how his head was spinning. Only then did he realize that he might have a fever. He had yet to recover from his cold, and after soaking in cold water for so long, even the strongest body would give in. Not wanting to infect Queena or make things awkward for her in the morning, Hallet left and went to Cynthia’s room. 

At that time, Cynthia and Liam were just about to fall asleep when they heard a knock on the door. Liam frowned and tucked Cynthia in before getting out of bed to answer the door. When he saw Hallet outside the door, he asked coldly. “What are you doing here in the middle of the night? 
“Where’s Cynthia Hallet leaned against the wall, looking pale. 
Liam glanced at him and replied faintly, “She’s already asleep.”“” 
“Wake her up. I need her help to keep an eye on Queena tonight,” Hallet said. 
“Why don’t you do it yourself!” Liam was annoyed at someone ordering Cynthia around, even if it was her senior. Therefore, his tone was unfriendly 
Feeling too unwell to argue, Haller banged on the door and called loudly, “Cynthia, Cynthia, get up!” 

Cynthia, who wasn’t really asleep, got up when she heard the sound. She looked at Haller and growled. “What? Are you planning to run away instead of taking care of her‘” 
In Cynthia’s mind, she thought Haller and Queena had been intimate. Women would usually feel sensitive at such times, so Hallet should be there 
Hallet knew they had been misunderstood. He rolled his eyes and explained. “I’m running a fever and I’m afraid of infecting Queena. Plus, I didn’t touch her. I thought it would be less awkward for her if I’m not there when she wakes up.” 
Cynthia’s eyes widened in disbelief, and even Llam looked surprised. She didn’t know how she should describe Haller “Haller, are you sure you’re not impotent?” Cynthia couldn’t believe Haller could hold himself back in such a situation and being impotent would be the only explanation. 
Hallet felt not only dizzy but also infuriated by Cynthia’s words. Despite feeling awful, he couldn’t help but give Cynthia a light smack on the head. “What are you talking about I respect Queena. Not everyone is as open–minded as you two.” 
“Hey, don’t insult others!” Liam interjected. This concerned Cynthia’s good impression of him, so he couldn’t let Cynthia think less of him because of Haller’s words. He handled such situations completely differently from Hallet. When it came to the woman he loved, he couldn’t help himself; he just wanted to possess her, keep her by his side, and never let go. As a man, Liam truly admired Hallet and his self control 
After understanding what was going on and seeing how unwell Hallet was, Cynthia went to her room and fetched him some antipyretic. “You know how to take it, right?” 
“Yes” Hallet took the medicine and urged. “There’s no one in Queena’s room. Hurry there? 
“I know,” Cynthia replied. She asked Hallet to go back to his room to rest before throwing herself into Liam’s arms and said apologetically, “Honey, you’ll have to sleep alone tonight.” 
Liam’s expression darkened at the thought of being left alone after taking their wedding photos. But given the situation, there was no better way. Even if he was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree. He inhaled the scent of Cynthia’s hair and murmured, “You’ll have to make it up to me Liter 
Cynthia understood his meaning and nodded shyly. Tl have to go now. 
“Let me walk you,” Liam said. 
Cynthia looked at the room only a few steps away and remained silent. ‘I’ll just let him he she thought. They walked together to Queena’s room with their arms around one another. Liam also waited for Cynthia to close the door before leaving. 
Inside, Queena was fast asleep, Cynthia checked on her. Fortunately, aside from the lingering effects of the medication, there were no other issues. 
The next morning, Queena opened her eyes. She looked at the hotel room, and Cynthia was sleeping beside her. For a moment, her mind was blank. Her memories were fragmented She only remembered Hallet arriving like a hero to save her in that room. The rest was a blur, but she could guess what might have happened next. 
Querna blushed at her thoughts. I did it with Haller. I had officially become a woman last night. Though her first time happened in such a 
was with Haller, she didn’t seem to mind. In fact, she felt a bit of sweetness, circumstance, flunking that 
was said that women would feel pain after such an experience and often bore marks on their bodies, She moved slightly and indeed felt some sorenras in her lumba and a sligla discomfort in her lower back. She thought it just be what it felt like after having sex. However, she wondered. 
Chapter Bos 
where Hallet was and why he wasn’t by her side, 
Just as Queena was deep in her thoughts, Cynthia woke up. At first glance, she saw Queena’s flushed face and thought the latter had a fever, so she quickly pressed a hand to her forehead. A moment later, she breathed a sigh of relief. “You scared me! I thought you had a fever like Hallet Cynthia said, placing her fingers on Queena’s wrist to check her pulse. How are you feeling?” 
“Just that my body aches, nothing else,” Queena replied shyly with her head lowered. 
Cynthia assumed she was embarrassed about the previous night’s events. After all, being drugged and going through such an ordeal was quite humiliating for a young woman. Although Queena didn’t lose her innocence in the end, the experience was still quite distressing. It was natural for her to feel awkward 
After checking her pulse and ensuring there were no other abnormalities. Cynthia spoke seriously, “Queena, I’m sorry about last night. The pastries were meant for me, but you took the fall” 
In a way, they had saved her last night. Hearing that, Queena raised her head with disapproval. “Cynthia, you don’t need to apologize. I was just craving for food. It’s not your fault, so don’t feel guilty about it.” 
Cynthia’s heart softened at Queena’s sincerity, She didit push the matter further, and seeing the latter’s shy face, she decided not to bring up last night’s events again.
