However, Tia's legs were still a little wonky and unsteady from all the heavy drinking. She simply stood

there, swaying for a moment, before nearly tipping over again.

"Ah!" Tia cried out as a sharp pain shot up her ankle.

Catching this in a split second, he quickly reached out and grabbed her before she could fall. "What's

wrong?"

"I think I twisted my ankle," Tia said.

The sudden pang of pain soon sobered her up, and Stanley was left to crouch down and examine the

injury in Tia's foot.

"Ouch!" Tia flinched in pain.

"You've sprained it," Stanley informed.

Feeling sorry for her, he stood up and proposed, "Let's get you back to your place. I'll apply some

medicine for you."

"Thanks," Tia thanked softly.

As Tia attempted to limp her way back home, Stanley decided to pick her up.

Instinctively holding onto Stanley's neck, Tia looked at him in surprise and asked, "What are you

doing?"

"You shouldn't move when you're injured," Stanley reminded Tia, and held onto her even tighter.

Upon looking up, she saw Stanley's visage hovering over her. She bit her lip, feeling a cocktail of

complex emotions about the situation.

For the first time ever, she truly felt that he was by her side. They were so close together, and in that

moment of closeness, she felt that he could truly be relied on. She could even feel his strong heartbeat

alongside her own, which seemed to be racing faster with each passing second. Then, she quickly

averted her gaze, afraid to look at him any longer.

After taking Tia back to her room, Stanley grabbed the medical kit from the other room, came back, and

brought the ointments out.

"I can do it on my own, thanks," Tia said in an attempt to stop him.

She felt very uncomfortable seeing him crouching over and helping her out with her twisted foot.

In response, Stanley glanced at her and explained, "This isn't just about applying an ointment to the

affected area. You have to massage it as well. It will heal your injury quicker that way."

With that, Stanley proceeded to apply the medicinal cream to Tia's ankle and massaged it.

The initial wave of coldness from the medicine was soon replaced by a sudden surge of pain,

prompting Tia to draw a deep breath and hiss. "Ah, it hurts."

Try enduring it a little longer," he said.

Stanley felt bad for her, but knew that if he stopped administering treatment now, it would result in her

suffering for several more days, rendering her unable to walk freely.

And though he was not letting up on the massage, he began to ease the pressure he was applying by a

little.

Concurrently, Tia also came to the understanding that enduring this pain would only expedite the

recovery process, so she gritted her teeth and refrained from crying out loud.

While Stanley was focusing on massaging her injured ankle, Tia asked, "After Cherry is gone, how do Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

you plan to explain everything to your family and hers?"

Tia had been worried about Stanley ever since she learned the truth of their relationship from Cherry.

With Cherry gone, he would have to deal with the fallout of their little act on his own.

Although the both of them had planned everything thoroughly, there was a possibility that the Jean

family would refuse to accept their explanation. In addition to that, the Riddle family might get infuriated

with Stanley's choice of actions too.

Stanley paused for a moment, and he hesitated for a moment before continuing with the massage.

"Don't worry.

I'll be fine."

"But Gloria will be heartbroken and the Jean family will blame you for deceiving them, especially once

you take into account that they absolutely detest the man Cherry is in a relationship with," Tia argued.

It would not be easy for the Jean family to forgive Stanley since he had conspired with Cherry to help

her.

Stanley then looked at Tia and replied, "By then, everything will have been settled. What can the Jean

family do? Is their daughter's happiness less important than their reputation?"

"B-But..." Tia choked up.

She knew that both him and Cherry had already considered all the possible repercussions, but she was

still worried about him nonetheless.

"Don't worry. I'll handle everything at home too," Stanley comforted Tia, understanding her concerns.

"Okay." Tia nodded lightly, and stopped with her questions.

After all was said and done, Stanley withdrew his gaze and stood up. "Get some rest. Stay at home for

the next two days, and don't go anywhere. I'll arrange for someone to handle your tasks for you."
