Hugh lifted his hand to cover her eyes. “Sleep a little longer. I’m feeling much better now. My fever has gone down, and I've coughed out most of the phlegm.”
“No, I don’t trust you. I need to take your temperature myself.”
Chelsea reached for the thermometer on the bedside table, but Hugh stopped her and placed her hand back under the covers.
“Don’t worry, Chelsea. I told you before that I'd never lie to you. My fever has really gone down. You kept changing towels for me last night and barely got any sleep, so you must be exhausted.
"Have a good rest, and when you wake up, we’ll go out for a meal.”
Hugh kissed Chelsea on the forehead, but it was not enough, so he kissed her again on the cheek. In each other’s embrace, the two of them kissed for a long time before stopping.
Chelsea playfully tapped Hugh. “I prefer you when you’re sick. How are you so full of energy when you’ve just recovered? I can barely keep up with you.”
Hugh mischievously pinched her cheeks. “Go to sleep. I won’t tease you anymore.”
Finally, she drifted off to sleep.
…
In the morning, Lucy woke up to a phone call from Matthew.
Matthew said on the other end, “Wifey, I’ve made breakfast. It’s on the table, so don’t forget to eat after you wake up.”
Lucy was delighted. Waking up to breakfast prepared by Matthew every morning was truly blissful.
Even with some of the less applicable philosophies, she still devoted herself to analyzing them.
Without even realizing it, by the time she had finished reading two books, the sun was already setting.
The sky was painted orange-red on one side while darkness engulfed the other, revealing a deep blue starry night.
Today, Matthew arrived earlier than Lucy expected as his work at Leon Corporation had been incredibly demanding. It sometimes even required him to have dinner late into the night, and he often did not return home until 11 or 12.
Matthew did not have to push himself so hard as Leon Corporation was stable and capable of operating smoothly without him. Plus, the company was filled with capable individuals who could share the workload, but Matthew always insisted on handling everything himself.
He believed that it was the only way not to let his abilities go to waste. If anything were to happen to Leon Corporation, as the leader, he would be responsible for jeopardizing the company’s future. It was something he wished to avoid.
