Caden Lockwood immediately picked up Evelyn Morgan, returned to the bedroom, placed her on the bed, tucked her in, and put a cold towel on her forehead. He took her temperature, and it turned out to be a high fever of thirty-nine degrees.

"You stupid woman!" Caden Lockwood’s voice squeezed through his teeth, showing a mix of affection and concern between his brows, "Can’t you take care of yourself? Falling ill makes you feel comfortable?"

He contacted the personal doctor to come over. After the doctor examined Evelyn Morgan, he said her condition was quite severe and prescribed medication for her intravenous drip.

Caden Lockwood stayed by Evelyn Morgan’s side, staring at her without blinking, with longing, regret, affection, pain, and unease surging in his heart.

This silly girl, how does she make him worry so much?

During these days at the temple, the person he kept thinking about was her!

It was his fault; he should have appeared in front of her sooner.

She really has lost so much weight; her originally round face with a bit of baby fat has now shown distinct contours.

"Erin Morgan." Caden Lockwood held her hand, placed it against his lips, and left a deep kiss, "There are some things I can’t tell you yet, but they’re definitely not what you think."

He sighed and continued, "I will protect you and not let anything happen to you. Call me selfish, knowing you’ll be very dangerous, but still... I want you to stay by my side."

He thought for so long in the temple, and the moment he considered giving up on her, he found himself utterly unwilling.

"I miss you." Caden Lockwood said softly, "Erin, I miss you so much."

Evelyn Morgan slept deeply in her dreams, completely unaware of what was happening.

However, in her dream, there were hands that warmed her, and she greatly enjoyed that feeling of being cherished.

She hadn’t slept well for many days, but at this moment, she finally could sleep peacefully.

This night is truly tranquil!

...

When Evelyn Morgan woke up, Caden Lockwood had already left.

She had no idea what happened, only saw several boxes of medicine placed on her bedside cabinet.

Her first reaction was to touch her forehead.

It’s not hot anymore.

However, her throat still felt uncomfortable, and her body didn’t have much strength.

She distinctly remembered being on the rooftop yesterday; how did she suddenly end up back in the bedroom? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

And these boxes of medicine, what’s going on?

Was it Aunt May?

Evelyn Morgan got up, opened the bedroom door, and walked to the first floor, where Aunt May was preparing lunch in the kitchen.

"Young Madam, you’re awake?" Aunt May greeted her with a smile, "Is there anywhere else uncomfortable? The doctor will come back tonight to check your health again, probably another drip. You really scared me! Young Madam, if there’s anything uncomfortable, you must tell me! If the young master hadn’t come back yesterday, you would have..."

Evelyn Morgan’s eyes brightened, and she immediately rushed forward, grabbing Aunt May’s hand and urgently asking, "Did Uncle come back?"

Her face was full of anticipation, with a sweet smile at the corners of her mouth and sparkling lights in her amber eyes.

Aunt May revealed a gratifying smile, yet felt her nose tingling.

How much does Young Madam miss the young master?

"Where is he?" Evelyn Morgan looked around, puzzled, and asked, "Did he go to work?"

"The young master told me to tell you that he’ll come back when you’re better." Aunt May said softly, "So, Young Madam, remember to take your medicine on time!"

"Wha... what?" Evelyn Morgan was full of question marks.

"Yesterday, the young master pushed open the bedroom door and didn’t see the Young Madam, that look on his face, it was as if he was going to kill someone. Then, he found Young Madam on the rooftop and suddenly laughed. But upon realizing Young Madam was sick, he went crazy." Aunt May sighed, "The young master’s concerns for Young Madam are quite clear without needing to guess."
