“He’s having a fever, so he’s not in his right state of mind. It’s fine.” Charlotte put down her teacup and said, “Bring
the blanket over. I’ll be sleeping on the couch tonight.”
“Oh!” Diana promptly took the blanket and the pillow to the couch and arranged it for Charlotte. She even helped
the latter down to a lying position. “Ms. Lindberg, is there anything else you need?”
“A glass of water,” Charlotte answered as she rubbed the bridge of her nose, looking exhausted.
“Of course.” Diana went to the side to pour a glass of water for her. While filling up the glass, she turned around to
chance a glance at Charlotte. When she noticed that Charlotte was not paying attention to her, she quickly dripped
a few drops of a drug into the water before bringing the glass of Charlotte. “Ms. Lindberg, your water.”
“Mm.” Charlotte drank a few mouthfuls before lying down on her side. “I’m going to rest now, so don’t disturb me
anymore. Stay by his side and watch his condition. If Louis’ high fever doesn’t break, remember to let him drink
water and take the medication.”

Charlotte then closed her eyes. Soon, she fell silent and seemingly entered the dreamlands.
Diana stood by the side of the bed as she observed Charlotte. In a soft voice, she asked, “Ms. Lindberg, would you
like to have more water?”
Charlotte did not respond. Diana let out a sigh of relief before sitting down on a chair near the bed and turned her
focus to Louis instead.
Her gaze on him was gentle and loving.
Right then, Louis began coughing. Diana swiftly walked over to pat his chest. “Louis, are you okay?”
Instead of being relieved, his coughs worsened, and he could barely catch his breath.
Anxious, Diana rushed off to pour a glass of water for him.
After sipping on the water, Louis seemed to recover as he lay back down on the bed and panted.
Diana felt her heart break at the sight of him suffering. She could not help but say, “Louis, you’re such a fool. Why
are you so adamant about loving a bad woman? She doesn’t deserve your love at all.”
At that, Diana spun around to glare at Charlotte. The sight of Charlotte’s pretty face made jealousy rear its ugly
head in Diana. Hence, she walked over and raised her hand, about to slap Charlotte.
Just then, sounds of footsteps came from the outside.
Jumping in surprise, Diana quickly took back her hand and returned to the side of the bed.
Soon, the footsteps were gone. Nevertheless, Diana knew that there were people patrolling outside, so she dared
not make any other reckless moves.
Besides, if she were to leave any marks on her, Charlotte was sure to find out Diana was the one who did it.
After all, there were only the three of them in the room.
It was only a short bout of coughing, but sweat had begun soaking Louis’ body.
Noticing it, Diana took a warm towel and started wiping the sweat from his body.
“Charlotte…” Louis groggily called out. Thinking that Diana was Charlotte, he grabbed her hand and pulled it toward

This time, Diana did not reject it. She threw herself onto Louis and began kissing his forehead, eyes, and cheeks.
Simultaneously, she whispered lovingly, “Louis, do you know this? I really wished that you’ll be marrying me instead
of Charlotte the day after tomorrow.”
If I were to have a proper family background and a high social standing, I would have been worthy of you. Perhaps
things would have been different now. You wouldn’t be so miserable, and I wouldn’t be living a life where I’ll have to
take my love to the grave. I’m different from that vile woman. I love you. I really love you. I’ll be a good wife.”
With that, she pressed her lips against Louis’.
Fever was making Louis disorientated. He thought that the one who was taking care of him was Charlotte, so when
he felt her warm lips against his, he leaned into it.
The two lost themselves in the kiss, and they had completely forgotten about Charlotte, who was on the couch.
In a while, Diana even took off her coat and climbed onto the bed. She burrowed her way under Louis’ blanket and
started planting kisses all over his body.
Unable to withstand her passion, Louis soon melded his body with hers.
