StarNovelChapter 742:
Kristian pressed his hand to his stomach, feigning discomfort. “My stomach hurts.”
Freya stood up and moved toward him to check, but found no sign of anything unusual. She assumed it was
something internal. “Does it hurt a lot?”
“Yes...” Kristian winced, his face contorting with feigned pain.
“I'll take you to the hospital,” Freya said at once.
Kristian’s heart leapt in panic. If they went to the hospital, she'd find out he was faking it. What should he do?
“No need for the hospital,” Ellis said calmly as he walked over. “He probably just ate too much. He'll be fine after
a little rest.”
“I checked already. It's not because he ate too much,” Freya insisted, worry clouding her features.
Kristian’s father had entrusted him to her care. She couldn't let anything happen to Kristian.
Seeing straight through Kristian, Ellis pressed lightly on a spot on his abdomen. “Does it hurt here?”
Kristian remained silent.
“If you don’t say yes, Freya's going to insist on taking you to the hospital,” Ellis whispered low enough that only
Kristian could hear.
Kristian gave Freya a pitiful look and reluctantly pretended to be in pain. “Yes.”
“He just ate too much,” Ellis concluded smoothly. “I'll take him for a walk.”

mulling over Kristian’s condition. His symptoms seemed far too severe to be brushed off as a simple
stomachache from eating too much.
Ethel, seeing that everyone had cleared out, leaned closer and asked curiously, “Be honest—if Ellis ever pursued
you, would you say yes?”
Freya froze, caught off guard. Without missing a beat, she answered, “No.”

Ellis was far beyond her reach, and she knew it. She still vividly recalled those brutal training days when
everyone had been run ragged under his leadership. The idea of merely being invited to a meal felt surreal now,
let alone the thought of a relationship.
“Why not?” Ethel pressed, her brows furrowing in puzzlement. “He’s handsome, he treats you well, and he’s
gentle. Honestly, he would be perfect.”
“Speople are just meant to stay friends,” Freya said after a moment's reflection. It wasn’t just her. Greta
and Riley wouldn't dare to even dream about it either. Had Freya not endured Ellis’s relentless training before,
she might have found him charming. Only recently had she cto realize that underneath that cold exterior,
he was a great man. But no matter how she looked at it, whenever she thought of Ellis, the first memory that
surfaced was always of those grueling, unrelenting drills.
“What about Kristian? Would you consider him after he gets better?” Ethel asked, unwilling to let it go. “Would
you say yes then...?”
“No,” Freya replied firmly, her voice leaving no room for doubt.
“Then you...”
