-Before Sophia left, she felt a gust of wind blowing over her and turned to look at the balcony. She had closed it tightly before, yet it had been opened slightly again.

“Why is the balcony door open again?” she asked concernedly.

Her question startled Zachary a little, and he immediately glanced at the balcony. “It was a little stuffy in the room, so I opened it slightly to let some air in.”

Sophia withdrew her gaze from the balcony and looked at Zachary. She then said worriedly, “You’re sick, so you can’t expose yourself to cold air. It should

always remain closed.”

Zachary nodded and assured her, “I’ll close it in a moment. You can go on ahead.”

Sophia did not say anything further, but her gaze lingered on the balcony door for a moment before she left.

Zachary closed the door again after she left. There was no movement on the balcony, suggesting that Corinne had already left. He lowered his gaze to his open palms and looked at the two pills he avoided consuming earlier.

Sophia must have noticed something. It would be prudent for Zachary to warn Corinne against coming over even though he wanted to see her. He might have no memory of his past with her, but her presence seemed to make him feel much better.

Sophia left her suite and headed toward her father’s suite. The slightly open balcony door still bothered her, as did Zachary’s decision to lock the door. When she arrived at her father’s suite, Melinda offered her a plate of fruit and asked, “Would you like some fruit?”

Sophia snapped out of her thoughts and glared at the fruit plate in disgust. She then shot Melinda a hostile glare and walked past her, completely ignoring the offer.

Melinda had grown accustomed to Sophia’s distant behavior and could only sigh softly. Though Sophia’s indifference did not bother Melinda, it did affect Lilin’s mood.

When Lilin saw how rude Sophia was to Melinda, she crossed her arms and made no secret of her displeasure. “She’s so rude. Don’t bother asking her anything next time!”
