After an unknown amount of time, Lucy opened her eyes again and saw that dawn was breaking.
She vaguely remembered what Matthew told her yesterday. He said that she had to wake up and have dinner after a short nap, yet here they were, both asleep on the couch.
Matthew gave her all the blanket while he only had a thin garment on and nothing else to cover himself.
He could not continue sleeping like this, especially with the sudden drop in temperature and continuous rainy weather the past few days. It was crucial to keep warm.
“Matt…”
Lucy nudged him, but he did not respond. Even when she softly called his name by his ear, it only elicited a soft grunt from him.
Feeling worried, Lucy lifted her hand to his forehead.
Unsurprisingly, he was down with a fever.
The mighty CEO was reduced to lying on the couch with nowhere to put his long legs, yet he still had to wake up to a fever after suffering the entire night.
Feeling guilty, Lucy looked at Matthew’s flushed cheeks due to the fever.
She reluctantly pushed him away, not wanting to disturb his sleep. She knew how busy he had been these days with barely any time to rest. Now that he had the chance, she wanted him to rest as much as he could.
However, he was in such poor condition that he could not be cramped up on the couch any longer.
Matthew did not move at the sound of her voice, leaving Lucy in a dilemma.
“Matt, can you please get up? You have a fever. You can’t sleep here like this.”
“Mrs. Leon, here’s the medication I’ve prepared. Mr. Leon seems to have a slight cold, but it's nothing serious. However, he’s been overworking himself the past few days and needs proper rest,” the doctor explained and gestured toward the partially open window.
“There'll be heavy rain tonight, so it’s crucial to keep the room warm. Taking such precautions in the future can help reduce the chances of catching a cold…”
Listening to the doctor’s advice, Lucy quickly closed the windows and doors.
“Thank you, doctor,” she said politely as she saw him out.
Taking matters into her own hands, she prepared some cold medicine for Matthew and added an extra blanket to keep him warm. If his condition worsened, she would only feel more guilty.
Just as Lucy was about to go out and boil some water, Matthew grabbed her arm.
“Lulu, where are you going? Can’t you stay with me for a while?”
