Wilfred coughed lightly and replied, "There's nothing else to do while staying in the room."

His explanation only made things worse.

Karina's brows shot up immediately. "What do you mean by nothing else to do?"

Her expression turned serious, and her tone carried an unusual firmness. "It doesn't matter. When you're sick, you need to rest properly. Your book is confiscated. Go lie down."
