Despite knowing her health wasn't great and having been told to eat properly that morning-she had even thought of herself as a mature adult capable of taking care of herself-she had still fainted at noon and was now trying to skip dinner.
Feeling guilty, she avoided Ethan's gaze and mumbled softly, "I had a proper breakfast and lunch, so skipping dinner isn't a big deal." Ethan said calmly, "It's not a big deal-except that it'll make you weaker and slow down your recovery." There was a trace of displeasure in his tone.

Oh, whatever. If that happened, Ethan would take care of her.

So, she picked up her glass and tilted her head back, ready to drink-only for Ethan to grab her wrist.
