In a hazy moment, Lily felt as if she had walked a long way. The road was sparsely populated and even the air was cold.
Looking around, Lily felt a little scared. She wanted to scream, but she couldn't. She wanted to run, but her legs were weak. She wanted to hide, but it seemed that someone had been watching her all the time.
Until a pair of warm and gentle hands appeared.
As soon as the hands appeared, Lily felt that she was redeemed. Redemption? The phrase sounded like someone else. Who was this person? The owner of these hands? Lily's head began to ache. That person touched her forehead gently. The pain was gone and Lily finally had a comfortable sleep.
Time passed quietly. Her fever was down and she began to wake up slowly.
Lily opened her eyes slowly. She didn't know why she felt so tired. After trying to concentrate, she turned her head and saw a person sitting by the bed. They just looked at each other silently.
"Ah, I am dreaming." Lily closed her eyes to relieve the fatigue of the eyes.
"What did you dream of?" James's voice was full of love.
"I dreamed of you." Lily responded. After a moment of silence, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the man by the bed, "you? ? ? You! ! ! Ah! ! !"
The person in front of James was surprised, with her eyes wide open. It seemed that she was no longer sick and pale as before. At the moment, she was lively and vivid. At last, the gloom on James's face was replaced by a light smile and a relaxed look as if he had just breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not tired?"
"What? Tired... "Lily then realized that she just had backache and strengthless. She lay down on the bed again and asked, "well, what's this? Ah! My room."
"Thank god you recognized it." James joked with her in a good mood again.
"Thank you." Lily said with a smile as she knew that James had brought her back.
"Aren't you hungry?" James changed the topic.
At the right time, Lily's stomach started to groan, and the sound was so loud that it could even be heard through the quilt. As Lily complained about her stomach, she blushed and explained, "well...i feel a little hungry... I haven't had lunch."
"Have a rest and wait for me for a while." Hearing her "protest", James revealed a faint smile, and his eyes were full of gentleness. He stood up and tucked the quilt for her. Then he took the cold porridge by the bed. Without saying a word, he went downstairs.
Lily tenderly lay in bed and closed her eyes.
James walked downstairs at a brisk pace.
Going downstairs, James headed straight to the kitchen. At the sight of the scene, he wanted to laugh. He had bought this villa for a long time, but he hadn't been to the kitchen for several times. Except today, he also came in last time when he cooked for her and the soft food. It seemed that Lily was an accident of him.
James shook his head and wondered since when he had become so emotional.
He opened the refrigerator and took out many ingredients. Step by step, he began to cook.
It was not James who woke her up, but the fragrance of the food instead. Perhaps Lily was really hungry, she woke up as she smelled her food. When she woke up, James had already cooled the porridge down.
They were no longer estranged. As soon as Lily took the bowl, she began to eat it without hesitation.
The porridge was just right hot. Lily tasted it tenderly and carefully. Every bite seemed to be exquisite. There was tenderness and sweetness of white rice, the flavor of vegetables, and a little salt. They were so delicious. Originally, Lily was supposed to lose her appetite because she was sick. However, at this moment, her appetite had been stimulated a lot because of the porridge cooked by James.
Seeing that Lily ate happily, James was relieved.
After the porridge was finished, James advised her to take the medicine left by David.
Lily took the pills. Just as she was about to lie down, she suddenly realized that she was in special period. She wanted to go to the bathroom, but she was afraid that she couldn't go because of James. So she didn't know if she should lie or sit.
Noticing that the Lily's eyebrows furrowed, James had guessed the reason. He stood up, without saying any more words, and he looked at Lily again. Then, he left the room.
"Good night." Before James closed the door, he added in a worried tone.
As soon as James left, Lily get up quickly and go to the bathroom to solve her special problems. She felt sticky because her body was sweating. She then took a hot bath, and went back to bed.
Lily had a sense of relaxation which she hadn't had for a long time, and soon fell asleep on the comfortable bed.
In her dream, there were no more demons, and on all of the roads, someone cut thorns for her.
