The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Charles got out of the car and walked into a pharmacy. He bought some medicine, then returned to find that Noelle had dozed off again.

He shook his head with a mix of amusement and resignation.

When Noelle woke up again, she found herself lying in bed. The bedroom curtains were drawn, blocking out the outside light. She sat up and checked the time, realizing it was already close to 8:00 pm. She had slept for nearly two hours. Looking down, she noticed that her foot no longer hurt, and it had been cleaned and treated with medicine.

As soon as she reached the staircase, Noelle caught the aroma of stew brewing. Her eyes lit up with excitement.

She quickly made her way downstairs and saw Charles emerging from the kitchen. He was wearing an apron around his waist and had changed into comfortable loungewear, giving him a soft, relaxed appearance. When Charles noticed Noelle coming down, he waved her over. "Come here."
