I'm Sorry My Love Novel

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.

Soon, she pushed him back onto the couch. "Rest for a while since you're sick."

She then quickly picked up her phone and checked the time.

The delivery driver was one kilometer away from her.

It would take them another 15 minutes to arrive.

Daphne stood up and tried to find something to do to break the provocative atmosphere. "Why don't you drink some water first? I'll go boil some."

As Louis watched her back, a smile appeared on his face.

Daphne boiled the water for more than ten minutes. When she came out of the kitchen, the water was at the perfect temperature. At the same time, the doorbell rang.

She instinctively turned around and ran to the door. After she took the takeout while uttering thanks, she turned back and placed the food on the dining table, taking out one food container after another.

"You have a cold, so you shouldn't eat anything too greasy. Eat these first, take the medicine later, and then take a nap. When you wake up, eat some fruit to replenish your vitamins. You'll feel better tomorrow."

"Will you leave if I fall asleep?" Louis asked.

Daphne opened the lid of the food container and placed it in front of him. "I'll leave after you feel better. I'll have to take you to the hospital if your fever still hasn't broken today."

Louis didn't say anything else; he lowered his head and drank the soup.

Daphne was also hungry after a busy noon. She had to control her sugar intake and couldn't eat things like soup, so she opened the vegetable salad next to her.

While eating, the cold medicine and fruits arrived.

Daphne saved a few pieces of fruit for later, then put the rest in the refrigerator.

When she returned to the living room, Louis had finished his meal and cleaned up the trash.

Daphne picked up the cold medicine next to her and looked at it. "It says you have to take it half an hour after a meal. How about...you rest for a while and read a book?"

"I feel dizzy. I don't want to read."

It was quite unusual for a top student like him to say he didn't want to read. He must be really dizzy.

"How about you go rest in the bedroom? I'll bring the medicine in later."

Louis looked at her and paused before asking, "Are you afraid of being with me?"

Daphne was caught off-guard by his question.

He caught her.
