Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 832 If You Also Catch a Cold

The rain showed no signs of stopping as it rained for the whole afternoon.

Louis sat on the couch reading a book, while Daphne leaned against his back, alternating between scrolling through Twitter and looking at a script.

The sky grew dark at some point.

Daphne got up and walked to the window, stretching lazily and looking at the bustling traffic outside.

Because of the rain, the road was congested as cars formed long lines.

Just at this moment, a light suddenly lit up behind her.

Daphne turned her head, only to see Louis turning on the light and walking toward the kitchen. "What do you want to eat?"

She picked up her phone. "I'll order takeout."

Louis opened the refrigerator and took out the vegetables that Daphne had bought for lunch. "It's rush hour now. It will take at least an hour for the delivery. It's faster to cook it ourselves."

Daphne went over and thought for a moment. "I don't think so. You're still sick... Just order something nearby."

"No need." Louis turned around and looked at her. "Just sit and wait for me."

Seeing this, Daphne knew that she couldn't persuade him. After letting out a small "Oh," she walked back to the living room.

Sitting on the couch, Daphne rested her elbows on her knees and supported her chin with her hands, looking at the figure in the kitchen. She was a little absent-minded.

Although she always said that she could imagine what kind of life Louis had lived before, she could never truly understand the hardships he had endured.

She remembered a few days of cold showers when she was filming on the set two years ago. At that time, she already felt uncomfortable, but in order not to slow down the progress of the crew, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

But after returning home, she lay in bed for several days as dizziness and nausea washed over her. Weakened, she didn't want to do anything.

But for him, this level of cold and fever seemed insignificant.

After half an hour, Louis came out of the kitchen and placed the plate in front of Daphne. There was chicken breast, celery, corn, sweet potatoes, and Romaine lettuce.

Stunned, Daphne looked up at him in confusion.

Louis explained, "You didn't eat much for lunch. This is just a little oil. It won't make you gain weight."

"What about you?"

"I made vegetable soup." Louis continued, "And sweet potato. Do you want it?"

"This is enough for me." Daphne rejected his offer.

Louis gave a small nod and turned back to the kitchen.

Daphne's job required her to maintain a slim figure all year round, so corn and chicken breast were always available. She had grown tired of them.

But what Louis made looked and smelled delicious.

Daphne scooted closer and picked up the sweet potato, intending to peel it. When she found it was hot, she immediately put it back before touching her earlobes with her hands.

Louis saw this as he walked out of the kitchen with the soup. He moved over quickly, placed the soup on the table, and knelt beside her before he pulled her hands to check for burns. After confirming that there were no burns, he suggested, "Eat something else first."

Daphne nodded and discreetly withdrew her hand from his palm.

Louis remained calm as he handed her the fork on the coffee table.

As Daphne reached out and took it, she glanced at the soup in front of Louis. "Is this all you're having?"

"There's another sweet potato in the pot."

As he spoke, he had already picked up the sweet potato in his bowl.

Daphne couldn't help but look over.

Louis' knuckles were distinct, and the veins were clear. His hands looked beautiful even when he was only peeling a sweet potato.

While she was lost in thought, Louis had already handed her the peeled sweet potato.

Louis' voice sounded. "What's wrong?"

Hearing that, Daphne quickly snapped out of her daze and took the sweet potato, biting it with her head lowered. "Thank you."

Louis' lips curled up slightly, and he went to pour her a glass of water.

After finishing the sweet potato, Daphne pushed the celery and corn in front of Louis. "You can have this. I can't finish it. Just vegetable soup alone must be unappetizing."

Louis only muttered a short reply as he nodded.

After the meal, Louis was about to get up to wash the dishes when Daphne quickly stopped him. "I'll do it. You rest for a while before taking your medicine."

After saying that, she immediately cleaned up the dishes on the coffee table and took them to the kitchen.

Louis watched her figure for a while, and his gaze soon fell on the thermometer next to him.

Daphne rarely cooked at home, let alone washed dishes. After washing them, she felt like she had just fought a battle. Her sweatshirt and even the cuffs were wet.

She wiped off the excess water with a tissue, walked into the living room, and poured a cup of warm water.

Sitting next to Louis, she raised her hand and touched his forehead with her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

He still felt hot, but it might be because he had just had hot soup.

I'll wait a while before I take his temperature again.

"Where's your hairdryer?" Daphne asked. "My sleeves got wet."

"It's in the bathroom, I'll get it for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed twice.

Daphne quickly persuaded him, "No need. You sit and rest. I'll go myself. Remember to take your medicine after you rest."
