With that comfort, Lucille slowly relaxed. In the end, she even took the initiative to hug his arm in an attempt to absorb the reassuring warmth.
The next day, the sky was bright.
When Lucille woke up, she immediately saw Joseph.
He seemed to have not slept all night. He looked a little haggard and tired. When he saw her open her eyes, the first thing that Joseph did was check the temperature on her forehead to see if she had a fever.
That was how he had taken care of her all night.
Lucille was a little apologetic. She moved back to dodge Joseph's hand and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
Joseph had a faint smile on his face as he said, "I wonder who it was who hugged me to sleep the whole night. Now that we've slept together, you're ignoring me?"
Lucille was speechless. She almost bit her tongue. The way he worded his sentence was so ambiguous. If someone else overheard him, they might really think that something had happened between the two of them the night before.
