Chapter 376
After an unknown amount of time, Lucy opened her eyes again and saw that dawn was breaking.
She vaguely remembered what Matthew told her yesterday. He said that she had to wake up and have dinner after a short nap, yet here they were, both asleep on the couch.
Matthew gave her all the blanket while he only had a thin garment on and nothing else to cover himself.
He could not continue sleeping like this, especially with the sudden drop in temperature and continuous rainy weather the past few days. It was crucial to keep warm.
"Matt..."
Lucy nudged him, but he did not respond. Even when she softly called his name by his ear, it only elicited a soft grunt from him.
Feeling worried, Lucy lifted her hand to his forehead.
Unsurprisingly, he was down with a fever.
The mighty CEO was reduced to lying on the couch with nowhere to put his long legs, yet he still had to wake up to a fever after suffering the entire night.
Feeling guilty, Lucy looked at Matthew's flushed cheeks due to the fever.
She reluctantly pushed him away, not wanting to disturb his sleep. She knew how busy he had been these days with barely any time to rest. Now that he had the chance, she wanted him to rest as much as he could.
However, he was in such poor condition that he could not be cramped up on the couch any longer.
Matthew did not move at the sound of her voice, leaving Lucy in a dilemma.
"Matt, can you please get up? You have a fever. You can't sleep here like this."
Lucy's tone was filled with concern. Matthew opened his eyes wearily and wanted to reach out to touch Lucy's face, but he found himself lacking the strength to do so.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
"I'm too weak. I just want to sleep," Matthew mumbled, unaware that he had a fever. He just felt completely drained of energy, so he wanted to sleep there.
Looking at Matthew's pitiful state, Lucy decided to summon the family doctor to the room to check on him.
She attempted to get him off the couch and into bed for the last time, but she still failed.
"Forget it."
She was the one who begged
Matthew for half an hour of sleep last night, and now he was using the same tactics on her. Seeing how similar both of them were, Lucy had no choice but to give in.
After a while, the family doctor arrived with a medicine kit in hand.
The doctor was experienced, so dealing with minor illnesses like colds was a piece of cake.
"Mrs. Leon, here's the medication
I've prepared Mr. Leon seems to have a slight cold, but it's nothing serious, However, he's been
overworking himself the past fol
days and needs proper rest," the doctor explained and gestured toward the partially open window.
"There'll be heavy rain tonight, so it's crucial to keep the room warm. Taking such precautions in the future can help reduce the chances of catching a cold..."
Listening to the doctor's advice, Lucy quickly closed the windows and doors.
"Thank you, doctor," she said politely as she saw him out.
Taking matters into her own hands, she prepared some cold medicine for Matthew and added an extra blanket to keep him warm. If his condition worsened, she would only feel more guilty.
Just as Lucy was about to go out and boil some water, Matthew grabbed her arm.
"Lulu, where are you going? Can't you stay with me for a while?"
