“He's having a fever, so he's not in his right state of mind. It's fine.” Charlotte put down her teacup and said, “Bring the blanket over. I'll be sleeping on the couch tonight.”
“Oh!” Diana promptly took the blanket and the pillow to the couch and arranged it for Charlotte. She even helped the latter down to a lying position. “Ms. Lindberg, is there anything else you need?”
“A glass of water,” Charlotte answered as she rubbed the bridge of her nose, looking exhausted.
“Of course.” Diana went to the side to pour a glass of water for her. While filling up the glass, she turned around to chance a glance at Charlotte. When she noticed that Charlotte was not paying attention to her, she quickly dripped a few drops of a drug into the water before bringing the glass of Charlotte. “Ms. Lindberg, your water.”
“Mm.” Charlotte drank a few mouthfuls before lying down on her side. “I'm going to rest now, so don't disturb me anymore. Stay by his side and watch his condition. If Louis' high fever doesn't break, remember to let him drink water and take the medication.”
“Of course. I will.” Diana nodded.
Charlotte then closed her eyes. Soon, she fell silent and seemingly entered the dreamlands.
Diana stood by the side of the bed as she observed Charlotte. In a soft voice, she asked, “Ms. Lindberg, would you like to have more water?”
Charlotte did not respond. Diana let out a sigh of relief before sitting down on a chair near the bed and turned her focus to Louis instead.
Her gaze on him was gentle and loving.
Right then, Louis began coughing. Diana swiftly walked over to pat his chest. “Louis, are you okay?”
Instead of being relieved, his coughs worsened, and he could barely catch his breath.
Anxious, Diana rushed off to pour a glass of water for him.
After sipping on the water, Louis seemed to recover as he lay back down on the bed and panted.
Diana felt her heart break at the sight of him suffering. She could not help but say, “Louis, you're such a fool. Why are you so adamant about loving a bad woman? She doesn't deserve your love at all.”
At that, Diana spun around to glare at Charlotte. The sight of Charlotte's pretty face made jealousy rear its ugly head in Diana. Hence, she walked over and raised her hand, about to slap Charlotte.
