The crew members quickly ushered Adrian into the medical van. Once they confirmed he was fine, they returned him to his room, with Jennifer quietly trailing behind him.

Soon, it was only Jennifer and Adrian in the room.
Adrian lay on the bed, sneezing now and then, overwhelmed by regret.
The room was ominously silent. He wanted to speak to Jennifer, having prepared what to say, but just as he opened his mouth, he heard Jennifer’s soft sobs.
Adrian was shocked. Then, he panicked.
He remembered Jennifer as always being strong and rarely crying, but now, he was the reason for her tears.
He had never felt such regret. He hurried to console Jennifer.
“I’m okay, really. I didn’t want any of that to happen. It’s all my fault. Please, don’t cry,” he said.

He tried to calm Jennifer, who didn’t say anything, simply crying.
When she finally stopped, she sniffed and managed to say, “You need to rest.”
Then, she left the room.
Watching Jennifer walk away, Adrian was consumed by a profound sadness. He felt at a loss about what to do next.
He felt like he had never messed up so badly in his life. Completely deflated and his mind in chaos, he recognized the depth of his mistake for the first time.
Meanwhile, Ariana was outside Holden’s door, holding a bowl of soup.
Holden had gotten drenched earlier, and now, he was feeling cold.
Ariana was worried about him.
Holden, freshly showered and hearing Ariana’s voice, opened the door with only a towel around his waist.
Ariana, soup in hand, stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of him.
Water dripped from Holden’s damp hair down to his collarbone, tracing his well-toned muscles before vanishing into the towel.
Blushing, Ariana quickly pulled herself together and offered him the soup. “Have some soup to warm up.”
Holden gave her a warm smile, sniffled, and rested his head on her shoulder, playfully complaining, “My head is killing me, but I can’t seem to find any medicine. Could you help me look for it?”
Ariana didn’t hesitate. She nodded and replied, “Sure, you go rest. I’ll look for it.”
Holden gave her a mischievous smile, stood aside to let her in, and then closed the door behind her.
Just as the door clicked shut, Jolie, phone in hand, emerged from the corner.
