Silence was the best strategy in moments like this, so I closed my eyes and ignored him

Ashton continued rubbing my foot, the warm and ticklish sensation spreading through me. I couldn’t tell if it was the fever or his care, but it tugged at something deep within my heart

Today, Ashton had inadvertently made me relive the time when my parents were still around. Those memories were warm yet tinged with sadness, and before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face again

Take a nap,Ashton said as he got up and adjusted the towel on my forehead. I made some potato soup. Have some when you wake up.” 

AshtonI called out softly, watching him from behind

He stopped midstep and turned slightly, waiting for me to continue

Did youknow me?My words hung in the air, vague and uncertain

Ashton’s presence today had brought back so many memories of my childhood. His care felt familiar, almost familial, as if my parentsshadows were somehow intertwined with him

He paused for a moment, seeming to mutter something under his breath, but I couldn’t make it out. Without saying anything further, he walked away

I drifted into a deep sleep almost instantly

In my dream, I saw my parents again. They held my hands, coaxing me to take my medicine and feeding me candy. My dad rubbed my hands and feet, just like Ashton had done earlier

DadMomI murmured, reaching out as if to hold them

Their faces were warm and familiar, but just as I tried to call out to them again, I heard Ashton’s voice instead

Elaine, time for dinner.His words broke through the dream

I refused to wake up. All I wanted was to hold onto my parentshands tighter. DadMomdon’t go

Don’t leave me.” 

I won’t. I’ll always be here with you,Ashton’s voice echoed again, but this time it seemed closer

Annoyed, I snapped, Ashton, go away,and jolted awake

When I opened my eyes, I realized I was gripping Ashton’s hand tightly. He was sitting beside me, his gaze steady but filled with something I couldn’t quite place. Pain? Concern

The moment our eyes met, I felt a pang of guilt for snapping at him earlier

I loosened my grip and sat up, remembering what I had wanted to ask him yesterday. Did they bother you again?” 

As I spoke, I instinctively scanned his hands and face for any signs of injury. Fortunately, there weren’t 

any

Ashton seemed to understand my concern. No. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be a match for me.” 

Such confidence

I nodded and drank the last sip of the soup he had prepared. Then, I asked, Have you found anything about your father’s car accident? Who was behind it? They gave you such a deadly threat.” 

Ashton’s gaze darkened slightly. They’re afraid of what I might uncover about the death of my father’s boss.” 

His words were cryptic, leaving me with more questions than answers

I pressed further. Was your father’s boss someone important? Does his death affect anyone’s interests?” 

He died over a decade ago. It’s not about interests. They fear the resentment of his children.” 

His words made me tense inexplicably

Does he have children? Have you met them? Do they agree with your investigation?I bombarded him with questions

Ashton lowered his gaze, avoiding eye contact. She doesn’t know.” 

I was at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, I asked, Will you continue investigating?” 

Of course,Ashton replied without hesitation

1 frowned. Butyou might be in danger. The men from yesterday seemed very powerful.” 

A fearless determination flashed in Ashton’s eyes as he looked directly at me. Are you worried about 

me?” 

Although his words carried a teasing undertone, I nodded earnestly. Ashton, both your father and his boss are gone. Finding the truth won’t bring them back. It’s not worth putting yourself in danger.” 

His gaze hardened, his intensity making me falter. “Is that what you think?” 

I nodded again, trying to reason with him. We should always move on and not dwell on the past. Those were my dad’s words to my mom. I’ve always kept them in mind.” 

Got it,Ashton replied with a short hum, his tone unreadable as he continued eating

The silence that followed felt heavy, I didn’t know what else to say, but leaving right after eating seemed inappropriate

As Ashton finished his food, I decided to lighten the mood. Your cooking skills are excellent. Did you learn it in the military? Were you a cook?” 

I already knew the answer was nohe had mentioned before that he was part of the special forces

I learned to cook for my sister,Ashton replied. She got sick easily when she was little and was a picky eater.” 

His words caught me off guard. You have a sister?” 

Yes. A biological sister,he clarified, as if to prevent any misunderstanding

I clicked my tongue in surprise. You never mentioned her before.” 

Ashton paused, glancing at me briefly. I haven’t had the chance.” 

How old is she? Is she my age? Is she in school or working?I asked, my curiosity piqued

Ashton didn’t answer immediately. His grip on his fork tightened slightly before he finally said, She
