Chapter 28
Emma finally loosened her grip on his hand, accepting his explanations. As she looked back, she saw Charlotte's sharp gaze.
Her gaze felt like it could pierce the depth of her soul, making her wonder what this woman was thinking right now.
Emma could also feel another sharp glare, and it was from Layla. Layla was also wondering why she was acting so close to Jeff.
Feeling the atmosphere and remembering her actions, she smiled wryly as she distanced herself and coughed loudly.
"So, young captain, you actually know medicine, huh? When this big sister gets a fever, you better take proper care of me. Got it?" she said with a calm expression, like nothing just happened.
Jeff was taken aback by her sudden move to distance herself from him. "Sure, but... didn't you say you studied medicine too?" he asked, his voice tinged with confusion.
