Night had fallen, and the weather was chilly. It was dangerous to take the mountain road in the dark, so Daniel Marshall insisted Olivia Jenkins stay in the hospital for overnight observation.

When Simon Howard came back with packaged meals, Daniel asked him to find a hotel to rest in, assuring him he would stay with Olivia in the hospital.

Simon Howard left respectfully.

Olivia Jenkins tried to adjust her sitting position, but Daniel asked her to refrain from unnecessary movements.

Annoyed, Olivia stared coldly at Daniel, “How can I eat, if I don’t sit properly?”

“I’ll feed you! Do not move. Moving will hurt your foot,” he explained.

Olivia frowned, her mind filled with mixed feelings. Despite her obstinate gaze, she insisted, “You don’t need to feed me, my hand isn’t broken, I can eat on my own.”

Daniel spoke with a gentle tone, eyes full of concern staring back at Olivia, “Honey, don’t be upset, okay? Let me feed you. Your hand has a long scrape, you shouldn’t move too much, it could pull at the wound, and if it starts bleeding again, that’s not good.”

Daniel sat at the edge of Olivia’s hospital bed with the boxed meal, attentively feeding her.

Olivia merely glared at him, refusing to speak or eat.

Daniel patiently coaxed her, “Darling, eat a little something while it’s still warm. The weather is cold and the food will cool down quickly. If you don’t want that, I could ask Simon to bring some porridge, rice noodles, and the like. If you want dumplings, I could ask him to get them for you.”

Reluctantly, and not wanting to trouble Simon any further, Olivia decided to eat.

Despite Daniel’s efforts to reconcile with her, Olivia remained icy cold towards him.

Although she wasn’t always short-tempered, she was no longer the gentle and passionate person she used to be, which made others feel a chilling respect for her.

Only after Olivia ate did Daniel start his meal.

Due to their hurrying journey, neither he nor Simon had taken time to rest or have a proper meal. Therefore, by that time, Daniel was rather hungry.

He didn’t mind that the food had cooled down a bit.

Olivia remained silent, casually responding to others’ concern without paying much attention to Daniel. However, she did inconspicuously cast a glance at him.

As unpleasant as she felt, as much as she felt she couldn’t carry on, after all, Daniel was still legally her husband. So, Olivia didn’t have the heart to ask him to leave.

No matter how lovingly he treated her, no matter how kind he was to her, Olivia’s frozen heart was no longer moved as it used to be.

The most lamentable thing was having someone right in front of you, yet their heart was far distant!

Though it was a small county, the night was terribly cold. Fearing that Olivia might catch a cold, Daniel asked the nurse for another quilt.

The nurse apologized, “Each inpatient is only provided with one quilt. We’re sorry but the amenities in our small county can’t compare to those in big cities; please understand.”

With no other choice, Daniel had to ask Simon to bring a quilt.

It was already dark, and most stores in this small county had already closed. Simon couldn’t buy a quilt anywhere, so he negotiated with the hotel to lend him one.

The night was indeed cold and Olivia started to shiver, but she didn’t tell Daniel about it.

Later, she saw Daniel walk in with a quilt and draped it over her.

Daniel was underdressed and hadn’t anticipated the cold of Haven County. After some thought, Olivia said, “You should keep one of the quilts. I’m not cold.”

Daniel tucked Olivia in, eyes glowing warmly. His lips curled into a faint smile, “Darling, I’m not cold. You’re injured; you can’t afford to catch a cold now.”

A patient in the neighboring bed piped up, “Aren’t you two husband and wife? Share the quilt!”
