Chapter 117

However, Veronica wasn‘t a peaceful sleeper; she kept rolling on the bed as she slept, and she ended up squashing her injured arm.

“Ow… that hurts…” she mumbled, before rolling over again.

Matthew couldn‘t exactly stomach this anymore. Worried that she would roll onto her injured arm again, he got up and lay next to her, pulling her into his arms. He carefully took care of her to prevent her from hurting herself again.

“I had a fever last night?”

“Just a low one.”

“Oh,” Veronica replied. She looked at him with a complicated gaze. “Matthew?”
