"It's livelier during the night," Mike said to Ivy. "Most of the tourists rest during the day and come out at night."They sat by the window, noticing that there were more people outside."Can I see the auroras tonight?" Ivy asked in anticipation."I heard that they are expected to appear tonight, but we can't be sure. This sort of thing is out of our control," Mike said. "Let's enjoy our dinner. There's no rush. If auroras appear, we will spot it immediately."Ivy glanced at the sky and nodded, realizing something. "Uncle Mike, will people from the other cities in Edelweiss see the auroras as well?""Haha! This is a big country so maybe people in the neighboring cities can see them.""I see.""That's exactly why everyone comes here to see it. This is the northernmost town. The weather is rough, and the environment is harsh.""It's just a little cold, but everything else seems fine.""There's nothing fun around here. You will know the difference once we take you to the capital

Ivy did not think that Mike would find out which university Lucas was at this quickly and was deeply impressed by his ability.Ivy expressed her gratitude to both Chad and Mike, and Mike replied immediately. [Do you want to take a walk around the university tomorrow? Let's leave Chad out of it, hm?]Ivy hesitated for a moment when she read his message.[Don't worry. I've checked, and it's a big campus. Even if we wander around for the whole day, I doubt we will run into your friend.]Relieved, she replied. [Okay, Uncle Mike. Thank you! You really are the best!]Pleased by the compliment, Mike typed smugly. [This is nothing. If there's anything you don't feel like sharing with your parents, you can always come to me. I can be a great listener, and I might even be able to help!]Touched by all the love she was receiving, Ivy replied. [It's no wonder that Layla said you are like a second dad to us! You are so nice to us.][Get some sleep and I will wake you up tomorrow. If you wake

The medicine eventually took effect."No... I was fighting with my brother... I'm so frustrated that... I feel like I'm getting my period..." Layla explained.Eric had not expected her to say this and thought to himself, "She is just starting to recover from food poisoning, and now, she is on her period. Should she continue taking her antibiotics, then? What am I supposed to do?"Eric was not at all experienced in this and knew that warm water might help, so he brought her a glass of water."Let me call the doctor." Eric set the glass on the nightstand and took out his phone.Layla looked up and said, "I'm just on my period. You don't need a doctor for that... You might as well go get me some sanitary pads..."Eric was the only person there to help her. He flushed and nodded after putting his phone away. "I'll go get those. Do you need anything else?"Layla could not think of anything else and said, "that's all I need.""Okay. Hang in there. I will come back right away." Eric

Robert hung up and immediately informed Avery about what she told him, in an attempt to blame her ire on her period. He insinuated that Layla would not have been as mad as him as he teased her all the time.Avery frowned at her son's words and thought to herself, "She has just moved out and now she's on her period with no one to look after her!'She turned to discuss with Elliot, who immediately said, "Get the cook to make something Layla likes, and we will deliver dinner to her later.""I was thinking the same thing. She probably needs something hot," she said before getting the servants to cook some of Layla's favorite dishes.Meanwhile, Layla glanced through all the sanitary products Eric had bought.Not only had he bought everything that she had asked for, but he had also doubled the amount. "I bought painkillers, and the doctor said that you can take them if it gets too painful." Eric took out the painkillers and asked, "Do you want one now?"Layla shook her head. "It's no

Inside the master bathroom, Eric spotted the underwear that Layla tossed into the trash can and noticed that she had not done the same to her pajamas, which were stained in blood as well.After washing her pajamas by hand as well, he took the trash outside.Layla lying on her bed was with her phone when she saw him walking out. She blurted out, "Eric, do you have a servant? Why don't you just get your servant to look after me? You should go home!"Though she was moved that Eric was willingly working as her servant, she did not want him to do chores, especially not with those beautiful hands of his that felt softer than hers."I don't have one," he said. "If you want to hire a servant, I can get one for you now."She considered it for a few moments before saying, "It's fine! I will get better soon anyways, and I swear I'll watch what I eat from now on.""Okay. Stay in bed. I will cook once I'm done with hanging the clothes," Eric said as he considered the possibility of adding mea

"Mom! I can hire a cleaner for that! You don't have to do it." Layla dragged Avery back to the couch. "Have you two eaten? We can eat together if you haven't!""We've already eaten." Avery finally noticed that Layla seemed to have lost weight. "Layla, have you gotten thinner? Why do you look so weak?"Elliot turned to study Layla's face and immediately started to worry as well. "Have you been eating properly? How are you sleeping?" He asked.Panicking, Layla felt extremely guilty when she saw the worried looks on her parents' faces."I... I'm just on my period and... I don't have much of an appetite." She hesitated for a few moments and decided to downplay the situation as she had mostly recovered."Why don't you come home for a few days? You can't cook for yourself in this state? You can just order delivery!" Avery said as she helped Layla out of the apron.Layla had never set foot into the kitchen, and Avery's heart ached at the thought that Layla had to cook for herself despit

"Dad!" Layla ran into the guest bedroom and found him standing in front of the bed with a scowl."What's wrong?" He had only gone into the room out of curiosity and noticed that there was a mattress inside the room with traces of someone having slept on it."Dad, this is... the room Amy was using and her personal belongings are still in here... There's nothing to look at," Layla said and scanned the room. To her bewilderment, Eric was nowhere to be found."Where is he hiding?" she thought. "It's a good thing that he hid, though. If Dad finds him, we will both be dead!""Aren't you two friends? Why didn't she stay to take care of you when you are this weak?" Elliot asked."She wanted to, but I sent her home. I feel drowsy and don't really want to interact with anyone. Dad, you don't know what it feels like to have your period. You can ask Mom about it," Layla said before walking back to the kitchen."You don't want to interact with people but have enough strength to cook?""I was

Layla burst out laughing. "Eric, I didn't expect you to hide in the closet. Hahaha! You probably haven't been so embarrassed in your whole life, have you?"Eric blushed. "Yeah.""Are you that scared of my parents?" Layla sat down on the bed, laughing.It was fortunate that the closet happened to be empty and was not too crammed for Eric to hide in."I just don't want any trouble. You are still ill, and you won't tell your family about it. What am I supposed to say if they see me?" Eric stood in front of her and stared at her. "Have you eaten?""Yeah. My parents brought me dinner. There's still a lot of food, and it's still warm. You should eat something, too." Layla stood up and teased, "Eric, you don't act your age... I've never seen a person your age acting like this.""I guess I've been spoiling you. I should have secretly spoken to your mom the moment I found out you were sick. Your mom only needs to find an excuse to come here and she will be able to expose you without betra
