Two days later…
"Ethan, will you get me a glass of water, please?" Sounding weak and sweet at the same time, Lexi shamelessly demanded Ethan Lu who was busy skimming through a document on the couch inside the room. He has tons of files laid on the small table and a laptop. Lexi watched his unsmiling side profile while she was still lying on the large bed.
The moment he heard her, Ethan Lu turned to her direction. Gently smiling, he put down whatever he was doing, no matter how important it was as he stood up and accordingly strode towards the bed. Sitting on the side of the bed, Ethan Lu gently checked her forehead and was relieved that her fever had gone down.
"Love, refrain from moving too much, alright?" Although Ethan Lu was engaged with the work that he took home for the last three days, he could still see her move around the bed via his peripheral vision.
