His throat tightened at the thought, but he resisted the urge to go in. Instead, he placed the clothes on the king-sized bed, making sure she would see them when she came out.

The servant replied, "I've already made some. Ginger tea helps warm you up in this kind of weather. Don't worry, Mr. Douglas."

Leonel nodded and returned to his bedroom.

The room was neat and tidy, thanks to the servants. He sat on the sofa, lost in thought as he touched his lips, pondering recent events.
