Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 830

Chapter 830 Will You Get Angry?

After Louis entered the bathroom, Daphne took out her phone and ordered some mushroom soup and light food. She then sat in front of the couch to tidy up the books on the coffee table.

When she was done, she looked around before her gaze fell on the bed in his bedroom.

The corner of the blanket was lifted, and his slippers were still by the bed.

If she guessed correctly, he must have just gotten up and hurried to school when she called him.

That was why he didn't have time to tidy up the house.

In other words, he wasn't at school at all during that time.

He was lying sick at home.

Daphne sighed silently, not knowing if it was right or wrong for her to come to him at this time.

When Louis came out of the shower, Daphne had already tidied up the living room.

Louis picked up his phone and asked her, "What do you want to eat?"

"I've already ordered.

"Also, I couldn't find your medicine anywhere."

Hearing that, Louis opened the cabinet under the coffee table and hesitated before saying, "I forgot."

"I'll go buy some." Daphne stood up.

Louis quickly grabbed her wrist. "No need. I'll go."

Why are we both rushing to do this? We can just get it delivered, can't we?

Daphne eventually suggested, "If we order now, it should arrive after we finish eating."

"Okay."

He agreed while holding onto her hand.

Daphne couldn't help but lower her head. The place where his palm held her hand was warm.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, and only the sound of raindrops hitting the balcony occasionally could be heard.

Louis' Adam's apple bobbed slightly after a while. He turned his gaze aside, let go of her hand, and sat on the other side of the couch. "I have a cold, so stay away from me."

She didn't know if he was saying this to her or himself.

Daphne asked, "Were you planning to just lie in bed without eating or taking medicine if I didn't call you?"

"I didn't feel like moving."

Daphne also sat down and casually picked up a pillow to hold in her arms. "You were filled with so much rage and energy when you hit Theodore, and yet, you don't feel like moving now? Have you exhausted all your strength?"

Upon hearing this, Louis silently smiled and didn't argue.

Daphne continued, "Your sister will be very worried if she sees you like this."

"Don't tell her."

"I know, I won't go snitching on you."

As she spoke, Daphne opened the drawer that Louis had just opened and took out a thermometer, measuring his temperature near his ear.

100.22°F.

Daphne started nagging when she saw this. "You have a high fever! You really don't take care of your health, do you?"

Louis' voice was low. "I'll be fine in a couple of days."

Daphne put down the thermometer and wanted to find some fruits to supplement his vitamins. However, the refrigerator was empty other than a few cans of beer she saw.

There wasn't even a takeout bag in the house.

Daphne turned to look at him, her brows slightly furrowed. "Have you not eaten for a few days?"

"Just today."

Daphne didn't believe him. She took out her phone and ordered cold medicine, then bought a bunch of fruits and fresh vegetables from the grocery store.

She might have been hesitant and unsure whether it was right or wrong to come to him earlier, but now, she felt that he might have exhausted himself to death in this room if she hadn't come.

She was glad she came.

After wandering around the living room, Daphne returned to the couch because she couldn't find anything to eat. She suggested to Louis, "Why don't you rest for a while? I'll call you when the food is here."

The delivery was slow due to the rain. Last she checked, the delivery driver had just arrived at the restaurant. No one knew how long it would take for the food to be delivered.

Instead of answering her, Louis leaned to the side and silently watched her.

Feeling uncomfortable from being stared at by him, Daphne touched her nose in embarrassment. "Am...am I dressed strangely?"

Louis' thin lips twitched, and he spoke slowly, "No, you look good."

Daphne was taken aback by his straightforward compliment. "T-Then," she stammered, "what are you looking at?"

"I was thinking if your work would be affected if I infected you with my cold."

"I don't think so. I haven't had much to do these past few days. Don't worry, it's not the peak season for colds recently. Your cold won't spread so eas—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Louis had already leaned in, his palm touching her ear as he kissed her.

Daphne's pupils slightly dilated, and her hand on her knee moved. However, she didn't push him away.

Fortunately, this kiss was just a light peck as Louis didn't intend to deepen it. Soon, he let go of her and whispered, "Will you get angry, then?"

I'm used to him doing things without seeking approval beforehand, she quietly sighed.
