QUARREL

After the incident, Jayden lays Ember on the bed with only a towel. Jayden saw that Ember's right thigh was bruised. "Your thighs are bruised."

She touched her thigh. She felt the pain. Her facial expressions changed. Jayden was worried about seeing Ember bruised.

"Is it hurting? I'll go out and buy medicine."

"Not really, but it's uncomfortable. I have an ice pack in the bag." She wants to stand up and she wants to take the ice pack out of her bag, but Jayden stops her.

"Don't move. Just stay here, let me take it." Then, Jayden grabbed the ice pack inside Ember's bag. After taking the ice pack, Jayden sat on the edge of the bed and said,

"Let me help you." Ember just sat on the bed. Jayden wrapped the ice pack with a washcloth and placed it on Ember's right thigh.

"Wait until 10 minutes." Jayden looks Ember in the eyes. Ember slightly nodded.

Seeing Ember only wearing a towel, Jayden felt his whole body getting hot and sweaty. Ember noticed Jayden had started sweating.

"Jayden, are you okay? Why are you sweating?" Ember asked while touching Jayden's forehead, and Ember was shocked because Jayden's forehead felt hot. She touched Jayden's neck, which also felt hot.

"Jayden, do you have a fever? Why didn't you tell me?" Ember asked worriedly and tried to get up from the bed.

"Where are you going?" Jayden stopped Ember.

"I want to get a wet towel for you."

"I'm fine, don't worry,"

"But..." Ember said again, and Jayden responded, "Shh..."

"But your body is hot," Ember insisted.

"That's because I saw you only had a towel." Jayden stood with a serious face. Hearing Jayden's words, Ember fell silent. Ember looked at Jayden and said, "Jayden, about what your family told us."

"Don't worry, I won't force you."

"But, won't something happen to you if we don't?"

"Maybe that's the fate of my life."

"Fate? Your fate is my fate too. We're husband and wife, and one more thing. What do you mean by saying maybe I wouldn't see you again if we weren't together in a week? What's the reason? Because you would leave me? And find another woman." Ember asked in a harsh tone.

"What makes you think like that?" Jayden was shocked to be asked such a question.

"You're too secretive. I asked. Why? What will happen? But your answer is that it's a secret. Am I not your wife? Why do you still have to be secretive? " Ember complained, and she started raising her voice.

"If I told you, would you still want to be with me? Maybe you'll run away."

"Oh, so you think I am someone like that? Do you think I married you because you're wealthy? I'm trying to accept you and learn to love you. Even a man just broke my heart. But, but I still want to believe in love. I still want to love someone. I still want someone to love me. But you, you create a chasm between us." Tears flowed down Ember's cheeks. When Jayden approached Ember, he sat down next to her when he saw her crying. Jayden wiped Ember's tears.

"I don't mean that to you. I'm different. I'm not like you. I, I." Jayden was sad and couldn't continue his words. He can't tell Ember the truth about him.

"Didn't you choose to get married because you wanted to have a child?" Ember is still crying.

"Yes, but after meeting you, I became greedy. I want you to accept me as who I am." Jayden expresses his feelings. Ember just kept quiet because she didn't know what to say. She accepts Jayden as her husband. But Jayden wants her to accept him as he is. Ember is confused because she doesn't understand what Jayden means. Jayden looked at Ember's thigh where the ice pack was placed.

"Let me remove the ice pack." Jayden took the ice pack from Ember's thigh and placed it on the table.

"Let's sleep; it's late already." Jayden grabs Ember's nightgown and hands it to her. Ember just stared at her nightgown. He saw Ember just staring at her nightgown. He thought she might need help.

"Do you want me to help?"

"It's okay, I can wear it myself." Ember slowly stood up and put on her nightgown. After putting on his nightgown, she lay back on the bed, Jayden lying next to her with his eyes closed. Ember also fell asleep because she was tired. Again that night, Ember had the same dream, and she woke up. She looked around; Jayden was sound asleep.

Ember sighed and thought about her dream. It was the second time she had dreamed the same dream. She tries to ignore her dreams and goes back to sleep. The next day, Ember woke up. She looked next to her, but Jayden was not there. Ember got up and sat on the bed. She looked around for Jayden and saw that he was on the balcony, sitting there. Ember touched her bruised leg, feeling a little sore.

"Can you walk?" Jayden suddenly stood next to her.

"Of course." Ember replied and tried to stand up and walk, but she couldn't walk fast.

"Jayden, we're going back to the mansion today."

"Why don't you want to stay here for three days and two nights?"

"No, I changed my mind. I think we'd better go back today."

"Fine, if that's what you want."

After they dressed up, they left the room. Ember walked slowly because her right thigh felt a little sore. Jayden saw Ember having a little trouble walking. She helps Ember carry her bag.

"Let me carry your bag." Jayden took the bag from Ember's hand. It's really helped Ember to walk more comfortably.

At the resort lobby, Megan stood there waiting for them. She saw Ember having trouble walking.

"Ember, what happened to your leg? Why do you seem to have trouble walking?"

"I fell in the bathroom."

"What? Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry." Ember responded with a smile. "Megan, we're going home. Next time we meet again," Ember added.

"Alright, take care of yourself. Jayden, take care of Ember, okay?" He slightly nodded his head, and the two of them took a taxi and headed to the ship's port.

Arriving at the ship's port, Jayden went to the ticket counter and bought tickets for the two of them. Ember sat waiting for him in a public seat. After buying the ticket, Jayden came towards Ember.

"Let's go, the ship will leave soon." Jayden informed her, and they both got on the ship and sat down together. After a few hours, they arrived. Jayden drove back to the mansion. In the mansion, it is difficult for Ember to climb the stairs. Jayden carries Ember up the stairs and places her on the bed.

"Just rest in the mansion, don't go anywhere. I want to go to work."

"Okay, take care, see you later." Ember smiled at him. Jayden just nodded her head and walked away.
