Gu Ning looked at the freshly washed clothes in her hands. She was beginning to suspect Alex knew she was female.
If he thought she was a Mimic Mixed Species, there would be no reason for him to be this nice to her—so meticulous that he'd even wash her clothes for her.
'Considering Alex's personality, he probably wouldn't make a big deal of it even if he knew she was female. Besides, he's from Zone 5. He must have seen plenty of females...'

Gu Ning paused when she saw the message, then got up and went to the living room.
On the dining table was a packet of medicine wrapped in white paper, with the instructions tucked underneath. A glass and a kettle were placed beside it.
