Thomas looked at her and held out a hand.

Taking out two pills, Sylvia placed them on the center of the palm of his hand and said, “Put them in your mouth.”He put them into his mouth.

She then handed a glass of water to him, “Here, drink this and swallow the pills.”

He did as he was told.

With that, Sylvia managed to get him to take the medicine that would help with the symptoms of his cold.After it all was done, she told him, “Lie down and get some rest.”

Thomas smiled and thanked her, “Thank you.”

“All | did was get you some medicine , you don’t have to thank me.”

She truly meant what she said.

Compared to what he had done to help her, what she had done was barely even worth mentioning at all, especially consideringthat the reason he had gotten sick in the first place was because he had saved Isabel.

Thomas did not answer but regarded her with a quiet look.She was used to having him stare at her like this by now. She was not bothered by this and gently told him, “Get some rest.”He pursed his lips and said, “I can’t sleep.”

Sylvia wanted to offer to make him some tea to help him sleep, but before she could say anything, he suddenly asked, “Couldyou stay with me for a while?”

There was a faint tone of longing in his voice.

Having no reason to refuse this request, Sylvia agreed,” Alright.”

His lips turned up into a faint smile.

His smile was filled with a certain warmth and added to his handsome charms, he suddenly looked younger and more vibrant.Sylvia returned his smile and said, “You should lie down first.”

“Mmm.”

He lay down as he was told and rested his head on the pillow. However, his eyes remained wide open as he stared at her.

Despite having become accustomed to his gaze by this point, Sylvia still found it oddly embarrassing from being stared at all thetime.

She blurted out, “You should close your eyes too.” “If | close them, you'll leave,” was his answer.

Something caught in her throat as she insisted, “I won't leave yet. I'll only leave when you've fallen asleep.”

“I'll close my eyes after | fall asleep,” he parried with a smile.

Sylvia had nothing left to say so she turned her head and looked away to avoid having to look at him.

Time passed.

Half an hour later, Sylvia turned to look at him again.

He was still in the same graceful sleeping position, but his eyes were still wide open and he was still staring at her.She then took out a thermometer so that she could take his temperature.

His temperature was still roughly the same as before, it had neither increased nor had it decreased.

Sylvia frowned and insisted more sternly this time,” Thomas, you need to rest.”

Thomas replied easily, “I’m not sleepy.”

“You have to sleep even if you are not sleepy. If you don’t get some proper rest, you'll never recover from your fever.”“| feel better like this than when I’m sleeping.”

Sylvia could not understand what he was trying to say.

He added, “Actually, no, | have never felt better than this.”

“Huh?” This only confused her more.

He looked at her tenderly and said in a low voice,” Because you are by my side.”

Sylvia was completely speechless at this point. She felt as if something was lodged inside her throat.

She could feel the intensity of his burning gaze. It felt so hot until all she wanted to do was just turn away from him and avoid hisgaze. Still, she forced herself to confront his gaze and told him, “Thomas, you can’t do this. The two of us together would neverwork out.”

“Why?"A sharp tone surfaced in his voice.

Sylvia said truthfully, “Even though Odell and | have gotten divorced, the fact is that | used to be your sister-in -law. This issomething that everyone knows, so the world would never take to the news kindly if they replace out that we are together.”

“| don’t care.” After a short pause, he went on, “If you are bothered by that, | can take you to another placewhere no one can replace us and we don’t ever have to come back.”Sylvia frowned and retorted solemnly, “Your mother would never give her blessings either.”

His mother was a strong and opinionated woman. She would never approve of Sylvia either.
