Chapter 173 Zoe Souza

Auri had informed them the day before that she would be going on a trip to Kenfort.

As such, she decided to just let Aurelia have fun outside without any worries.

When Aurelia woke up, it was just at the break of dawn.

After a night’s rest and receiving fluids, her fever had subsided and the diarrhea had stopped.

All she felt was a sort of weakness enveloping her.

Matthew was sprawled on the couch, his eyes closed and his brow furrowed.

Sleeping like this surely wasn’t comfortable.

Remembering that he had stayed up all night watching over her, she felt a bit embarrassed.

She had been feverish and delirious last night, so she figured her appearance must have been quite shocking.

However, she wanted to use the bathroom at the moment.

She gingerly got out of bed, but her legs gave way the moment her feet touched the ground, and she almost ended up sitting on the floor.

Reflecting on the period following her marriage registration with Matthew, it seemed she had fallen ill two or three times. She hadn’t been this unwell even in an entire year.

Feeling somewhat vexed, she slowly made her way toward the bathroom of the hospital ward,

Just as she reached the bathroom, her hand resting on the doorknob, Matthew’s voice echoed from behind her. “You’re awake?”

Aurelia looked back and saw that Matthew, who was lounging on the couch, was staring at her, his dark eyes devoid of any hint of grogginess from just waking up.

Instead, there was an inherent coldness about him, a sense of oppression he himself hadn’t even noticed.

Under his gaze, Aurelia stiffly nodded. “Yeah; I just woke up. I really appreciate your help last night. Uh… I’ll go use the bathroom first.”

“Need a hand?” he offered while rising to his feet.

Aurelia’s fair face suddenly flushed. “No need! I can do it myself.”

She was genuinely afraid that she wouldn’t be able to relieve herself due to embarrassment if he were to assist her to the bathroom.

Watching Aurelia swiftly enter the bathroom, some of Matthew’s sleepiness dissipated.
