She wondered how she could tell Bennett that she was full and needed to buy a box of digestive enzyme pills. As if he had read her mind, he took out a boxful and passed it to her.

Claudia felt stunned for a while, then a feeling of embarrassment washed over her. Her cheeks felt hot as she blushed deeply.

She took the box from his hand while she tried as much as possible to avoid eye contact. She took three pills and ate them. She then leaned against the chair, closed her eyes and said nothing.

“Are you all right?" Bennett asked.

Seeing that no reply came from her, he stopped the car and placed his hand on her cheek.
