Chapter 291 Elsa realized Wren wasn't talking about that and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she added, "It was nothing, Mr. Zachman. You're being too kind." Wren smiled. "Still, I've caused you trouble." Elsa hesitated, then gave in. "Well, thank you, Mr. Zachman. I'll just tell everyone it's from you and share it with the hospital staff. I'll distribute it later." Wren didn't respond either way. Once it was out of his hands, how it was handled was up to her.
After seeing Elsa off, Wren returned to the hospital room.
Clara was sitting on the bed, and when she saw him enter, she said, "I've almost finished packing everything." Wren nodded, walking over to the table. Without a word, he picked up the scarf that had been set aside and moved to help her put it on. "It's snowing outside. You should wear it so you don't catch a cold." Since Clara wasn't accustomed to this kind of care and closeness from him anymore, she instinctively pulled away. However, sitting on the bed, she found herself trapped between Wren's arms, with no space to escape. Just as Wren was about to help her tie the scarf, she quickly snatched it from his hands. "I'll do it myself." Wren sighed helplessly, watching her dodge him. He lowered his gaze, hiding the disappointment in his eyes, but let go without a word.

As long as she was willing to wear it, that was enough.
After Clara quickly put on the scarf, she watched Wren as he picked up the things. She hesitated before cautiously asking, "Did you see anything last night in the hospital?" Wren's back stiffened. He knew exactly what Clara was going to ask. With his back turned to her, a flicker of discomfort crossed his eyes. Almost as if avoiding the question, he diverted the topic. "It's getting late. Now that everything's packed, let's go." Without waiting for Clara's response, he grabbed the things and walked out.
Clara watched his figure disappear down the hallway, feeling momentarily stunned. Her vel suspicions seemed to be confirmed, and she couldn't help but frown.
Before she could think further, Wren was already gone.
She sighed, grabbed the paper bag beside her, and quickly followed out. Wren parked his car outside the é hospital and placed the items in the trunk. Just as he was about to get in, he saw Clara reaching for the rear passenger door.
"Sit in the front," Wren said.
Clara paused, hesitating for a moment, but then got into the passenger seat.

The snow from last night had melted quickly, and there was little snow left was on the road Only on the tree branches could she still see traces of it.
Clara watched the scenery rush by outside the window. Her reflection appeared on the glass, and through it, she saw Wren's profile. The dark circles under his eyes were visible, and his lips looked slightly pale.
As she remembered hearing his suppressed coughs while resting these past couple of days, a complex feeling stirred within her.
She thought maybe Wren was worried she would hear his cough! Every the frowned in discomfort, he would find an excuse to slip away. If Elsa hadn't confronted her today, perhaps she wouldn't have known.
Clara pursed her lips and softly said, "Wren, when we get back to Phoypolis, you should have the family doctor cby. Even if you're feeling okay, you shouldn't let an illness drag on."
