Chapter 32 How Do You Feel?

Cora woke up with a cold. But it was not surprising. She had been exposed to the cold wind all afternoon yesterday and had made out with Byron for too long. Her baby was on the verge of breaking down. She rolled over and got out of bed. Stifling the dizziness in her head, she planned to go to a nearby pharmacy to buy medicine. She had no one to rely on and had been forced to learn to care for herself. As for Byron, she never thought he would stay and take care of her and didn’t dare to expect him to do so. Unexpectedly, the bedroom door was pushed open as soon as she got out of bed. “Are you awake?” Byron walked in under her astonished gaze, went to her, and took her temperature. “The fever has come down. Drink some oatmeal before taking the medicine.” He was tall. Standing in front of Cora, he almost blocked all the light. Cora looked at his slightly tensed profile under the half-dark light, feeling a little dazed. “Why haven’t you left yet? Don’t you have to go to work?” “I’m working from home today.” Cora wanted to ask if it was because she had a cold. But on second thought, she denied her idea. Cora knew how much Byron valued her. Even if he had some affection for her, she didn’t think Byron, who was always proud, would leave his work behind just because she caught a cold. Maybe it was because Cora remained silent for a long time. Byron felt a little awkward.
