I was worried, too.

What?

I was worried about you, too. Thats why I came all the way here.

Yelena did not miss the softening of her opponents attitude.

I heard you were sick? I saw Ben come in here with a water basin and a towel. But you wouldnt let me in

Yelena felt a pang of sadness when she recalled what had happened in the hallway.

It wasnt that she had never been discriminated against or restricted before; however, this particular instance of discrimination pained her more than anything.

Yelenas voice was naturally clouded with sorrow.

Of course, the butler has been with you much longer than I have. I know that. But but Im your wife.

She understood it in her head.

Yes, of course, a butler who has been with him for a long time would be more reliable than a wife who had not been married for less than two months and who he had no feelings for.

It was understandable if she thought about it rationally.

But her emotions refused to accept it.

No matter what, Yelena was the wife of her husband.

His wife, and his spouse.

They were a couple who swore in the name of God that they would cherish and love each other for the rest of their lives.

Wife.

Yes, Im your wife. Although our marriage might just be for show Im still your wife, so why cant I even take care of my husband when hes sick?

That

or are you worried that Ill do something to you since youre ill and defenseless?

Yelena was in great shock after uttering those words.

Come to think of it, she sneaked into his bedroom in the middle of the night and tried to attack a sleeping man. There was already a history where it was hard to build trust.

That was why.

Yelenas face turned bright red.

Well, then you have greatly misunderstood. From now on, Ill never, ever do that again. You may not believe my words yet

Yelena began to ramble on due to the surging sense of shame.

Hey, no. If youre worried about that, you can make sure the butler and I are always in the same place! Dont you think so?

The last comment was a red herring.

Yelena raised her head as she tried to argue her point to her husband.

But then her husbands face, which was different from usual, caught her eye.

A red face.

The sweat on his forehead.

After briefly thinking about what that meant, Yelena jumped out of her chair.

Darling, you have a fever! Lie down quickly.

Without saying anything more, Yelena forced him into bed and placed her hand on his forehead.

oh, my God.

Yelena swallowed a sigh.

His forehead was like a ball of fire.

It was astonishing that he even managed to stand up and move around with a body in such a condition.

Something to lower the fever

Yelena looked around frantically.

She could use any fabric, and if there wasnt any, she could tear her skirt.

If I go into the bathroom, will there be any water from previously?

At that moment, the door to her husbands bedroom, which had been closed, swung open.

Ben, who appeared with a filled basin and a new towel, stopped when he found Yelena.

Ben.

Madam?

Yelena was delighted to see what was in Bens hands.

How did you get here

Is that important now? Ill explain everything to you later, so come put those things right here.

Yelena was in a hurry.

Her husbands forehead, which she had briefly touched, was too hot.

Ben stood frozen in his spot with a look of alarm, unable to do anything.

Then Duke Mayhard, who was lying down, motioned lightly to Ben.

He meant it was okay.

Ben, who gazed at Duke Mayhard and Yelena, sighed unexpectedly and laid the basin down beside Yelena.

Ben handed over the towel to Yelena and stepped back.

I will go out now. Please excuse me, madam.

What? You will?

Only one person is required.

Ben said so and walked out of bed without hesitation.

It was such a bland exit for a person who mobilized the knight to use force to prevent Yelena from entering the bedroom.

Well, thats great.

In that case, Yelena decided to care for her husband with all her heart and show him a different side of her from before.

Yelena soaked the towel with water and twisted it.

Pitter-patter.

Water dripped into the basin and made a loud noise.

Yelena began to thoroughly wipe her husbands face with a properly drained towel.

After wiping mainly the sweaty forehead and nape of the neck, the body remained.
