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.
The familiar smell put Veronica at ease as she lay in his arms, and she rubbed herself against his chest. Her injured arm wrapped itself around Matthew‘s waist, one of her legs coming to rest on his own legs as well. She fell asleep peacefully then.
Veronica‘s sleep might be peaceful now, but Matthew wasn‘t in a comfortable position. In order to prevent himself from pressing down on her injured arm, he kept his left arm behind himself as he lay motionlessly next to her. It wasn‘t until her fever broke at six in the wee hours of the morning that Matthew finally got up, his body already numb from being stuck in one position. He worked the stiffness out of his body so that he wouldn‘t feel as numb as before.

Veronica shook her head. “No. I pretty much wake up at half past six every day.”
“How do you feel now? Feeling any better?” Matthew walked over to her and pressed a hand to her forehead. His heart only slipped back down his throat when he realized that her fever had abated.
“I had a fever last night?”
“Just a low one.”
“Oh,” Veronica replied. She looked at him with a complicated gaze. “Matthew?”
