Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 180: As Kellan watched Allison sip the warm water, he hesitated before offering, Ms.

Clarke, if youre hungry, I can have something prepared for you.

Allison shook her head gently.

Im not feeling up to eating right now.

Ill stick to water and see how I feel later.

Unaccustomed to this kind of attention, Allison felt as though she were wrapped in a comforting warmth something foreign, yet not entirely unpleasant.

Normally, she dealt with pain on her own, retreating into herself, never expecting anyones concern.

When she had been with Colton, even if she fainted from a fever, he wouldnt so much as glance at her.

Worse, hed mock her, accusing her of faking it for sympathy.

Her throat felt dry as she looked up with a small smile.

Actually, Im feeling much better now.

Maybe Im just a bit weak from sleeping so long.

But thank you for looking after me.

Then, as if something occurred to her, she asked, When did we come back from the sea? Two days ago, Kellan replied smoothly, though he withheld the detail of how hed spent those days anxiously watching over her.

Youve been asleep for two full days.

Your fever finally broke last night.

Its good youre awake, he continued, his tone more casual now.

The kitchen made some porridge for you.

Whenever youre ready, you can have a bit see if it sits well.

I cant promise its anything special, but it should help.

Allison shifted slightly, feeling awkward under his care.

Im not picky.
