There was no fireplace in the kitchen of the old log cabin. Instead, there was a fireplace in the living room. The fireplace, situated in the corner, had been unused for a long time, and it was in a neglected state, covered with dust, spiderwebs, and herbs.
“The wind is strong. It would be better to clean it in advance,” Ren thought.
Ren had discovered the fireplace belatedly, but without Sharty’s permission, he couldn’t touch it. So, for now, he discreetly organized the surroundings without disturbing the fireplace.
“…She doesn’t even glance at the fireplace. It’s colder in the mountains, so why isn’t she using it?”
However, contrary to Ren’s expectations, Sharty ignored the existence of the fireplace even on windy days and rainy nights.
Ren, in a moment of trying to ask Sharty about the reason, suddenly realized.
“Could it be because there’s no firewood to burn?”
It wouldn’t be easy for a woman to chop firewood alone. Moreover, due to the overall aging of the log cabin, stray sparks could be dangerous.
“So, she gave up and lived without it.”
Based on Ren’s observations, Sharty seemed to endure inconveniences as long as there was no significant impact on her daily life. The household items were minimal, with herbs occupying most of her life. The wardrobe consisted mainly of robes, and the small dressing table held only sewing tools, scissors, and everyday items.
Sharty didn’t seem to display any materialistic desires.
“With the right tools, she could chop firewood.”
Since the surroundings of the log cabin were surrounded by trees, all that was needed was an axe. Ren managed to get an axe through Viretta.
As soon as he held the axe, Ren became confident in his guess. The delicate wrists of Sharty would find the tool too heavy and dangerous to handle.
“But how do you light a fire?”
The damaged memory didn’t recall the method of starting a fire. In the gaps of his unreliable memory, Ren clicked his tongue.
Certainly, he was not a slave, he emphasized, adding confidence to his guess.
“If you don’t know, you can try.”
To avoid unnecessarily worrying Sharty and considering her personality, Ren diligently chopped firewood while she was bedridden.
Seeing Sharty suffering from an illness motivated him even more.
He wanted to provide her with a warm place to rest as soon as possible.
Perhaps, his enthusiasm was too much, as the handle of the axe, unused for a few swings, broke so easily.
“Is this enough?”
Ren lightly brushed his hands while checking the stack of firewood piled behind the log cabin.
After that, Ren, avoiding Sharty’s eyes, practiced lighting the fire diligently.
Fortunately, relying on the hand sensation remembered by his body, Ren succeeded in producing smoke.
“Now, I should clean the fireplace.”
There was no more reason to delay.
By chance, Sharty’s mood improved with the discovered flowers, and Ren found himself becoming more honest at the crossroads of choice.
He wanted to appear as a presence that was useful to Sharty, not just a sympathetic one.
Only then could he share his choices with her openly.
“Well, it’s better to make it look natural.”
After Sharty went into the herb room, Ren quickly cleaned the fireplace. Rather than openly lighting the fireplace in front of Sharty, he thought it would be better if she naturally felt the warmth in the house.
Ren didn’t want to express his concern or show off his efforts as if boasting. He simply hoped that Sharty would naturally acknowledge his kindness.
And when Sharty finally came out to the living room, Ren hoped for a reaction similar to when he gave her flowers, anticipating her delight at an unexpected gift.
“AAAAAAARGH!!!”
However, the moment Sharty screamed, Ren realized how arrogant and big his mistake was.
Sharty’s short, manicured nails pierced Ren’s forearm, causing excruciating pain. Despite the pain of the skin being scraped off, Ren did not release the arm that was embracing Sharty.
“Please, please, AAAAHHH…! Save me, save me… Ugh, I hate it…!”
” Shaa! Snap out of it, Shaa!”
Even though Ren hugged her tightly, Sharty couldn’t control her trembling and shivered uncontrollably while lying down.
In her extreme transformation, Sharty didn’t even seem to be aware of Ren’s presence.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Ren desperately held onto her, without giving her a chance to react to the drastically changed Sharty.
“Shaa! Look at me! Shaa!”
Her small and delicate body seemed as if it had turned into a stone, not moving at all.
Ren exerted force in his hands to lift Sharty.
In the process, Sharty’s hood slipped off with a swish.
“Save me, please… the fire, the fire…!”
Her crimson eyes, resembling the summer sunset, were stained with tears as if the focus had disappeared.
Her pale face was soaked with tears.
“…Sha. Please, it’s okay. It’s okay.”
Ren hurriedly embraced Sharty.
While holding Sharty’s face against his chest, Ren tightly wrapped his arms around her.
He didn’t want to see her in this state.
She wouldn’t want to show this face, and Ren didn’t want her to.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
