Lucy was still hung up on what happened, and Chelsea kept apologizing on the phone. Eventually, Chelsea suggested treating Lucy to dinner to make amends, which Lucy accepted.

While on the phone, Lucy asked Matthew to go freshen up. When Matthew returned, he found Lucy still fully dressed, sprawled out on the bed with her phone in her hand. She was completely out like a light. Matthew lightly tapped her cheek and called her name, but she remained deeply asleep.

It was not surprising, considering she had spent the entire day at the palace taking care of things.

Although Matthew heard her complaints on the way back about how her sole purpose today was to sit there and look pretty, Matthew understood that she did not like social engagements. It was especially draining when it came to interacting with people she did not like. Matthew thought to himself that if this happened again in the future, he would have to find an excuse to take Lucy away and save her from these boring social obligations.

After calling her for a while, Lucy finally responded, "Matt, are you done showering? When did I fall asleep?"

Lucy glanced at her phone and realized she had been asleep for over 30 minutes, so she immediately scrambled out of bed to take a shower.

Stifling yawns, Lucy thought to herself that she could not handle another situation like this in the future.

Meanwhile, in a hotel in Eurovia, Hugh was lying on the bed with a slightly flushed face while Chelsea looked at him concernedly.

...

Ever since they flew from Charleston

to Eurovia, Hugh had developed a

welbet

fever and a runny nose. It was evident that his immune system had weakened from fatigue, and exposure to others with the same symptoms caused him to fall ill easily.

Hugh had not been sick for years, not even with minor ailments. Now that he was suddenly struck with a severe cold, he was struggling. He lay in bed with his lips slightly. parted, seemingly having a hard time catching his breath.

Seeing his condition, Chelsea's heart ached in distress.

"Hugh, how about I call a doctor to prescribe some medication for you? You won't get better like this."

However, Hugh declined Chelsea's proposal, shaking his head and whispering softly, "Chelsea, don't go..."

Chelsea reassured Hugh, "I promise I won't leave. I'll just go and call the doctor so that you can get better soon. Then, we can finally go on vacation again." Hugh was still reluctant, fearing that Chelsea's real intention was to leave him again.

Her running off to Charleston had traumatized him greatly, and he could not bear the thought of Chelsea leaving him once more.

"How about this, Hugh? I'll call the hotel reception and ask them to arrange for a doctor to come over, okay?"

Hugh relented. What mattered was that Chelsea did not leave his side.

While they waited for the doctor to

arrive, Chelsea used a damp towel to help cool him down, and his condition improved slightly. However, Hugh remained in a daze, murmuring her name with his eyes closed. It deeply troubled Chelsea.

When the doctor arrived and took Hugh's temperature, it had gotten to nearly 39 degrees Celsius, so he immediately prescribed Hugh some medication.
