บท 814: Taking Care

The next two days blended into a comforting routine for Lily and Cai. He transformed into a living blanket, keeping her warm while she recovered. Occasionally, he would coax her to let go, slipping out of bed to prepare food, urging her to eat and take her medicine. But most of the time, he remained close, offering comfort when she felt chilled and retreating when her fever broke.

By the morning of the third day, Lily awoke feeling different—lighter, as if the heaviness had lifted. She opened her eyes slowly, only to realize she was hugging something exceptionally warm. Her heart raced as she snapped her eyes open and recognized Cai beside her. The memories of the last two days rushed back, flooding her with embarrassment and a sense of scandal at her own clingy behaviour.
