Chapter 813: Sick

Lily woke up shivering. Her gaze drifted to the ceiling as she snuggled deeper into the blankets. She didn't want to get out of bed. It wasn't just her horrid mood weighing her down, but the deep, dull ache spreading through her limbs, the kind that hinted at the onset of a fever. Her body felt chilled, even wrapped in the cocoon of blankets, and the mere thought of moving seemed unbearable.

The last two days had been agonizing for her. Cai's coldness was suffocating, the way he completely ignored her, as if she were invisible. Living in this oppressive silence had made every moment feel heavier, darker. She had wanted to apologize, to bridge the gap between them, but he'd shut her out so completely, treating her like she was nothing more than an annoying, buzzing mosquito, too insignificant to even swat away.d to apologize but he had ignored her as if she were nothing but a buzzing mosquito.
