Wayne put out his cigarette.
"How come you're here?"
"I... I woke up and didn't see you. I was scared..." Olivia said softly. "Are you smoking?"
"To stay awake." Wayne answered and walked over. "It's cold outside. You should go back to your room."
"You didn't smoke before." Olivia whispered. "Is it because I've been bothering you?"
"Olivia, you need to get rid of these thoughts! You have to live for yourself. You shouldn't worry too much about whether others find you annoying or dislike you!" Wayne said seriously.
Honestly, Olivia's clinginess made it hard for him to breathe.
But...
He couldn't just leave Olivia alone!
"I know, I'll change! Don't be mad!" Olivia said right away.
Wayne was speechless, knowing his words had little effect on Olivia.
"Let's go back to the room."
Olivia obediently followed him back to the room.
Meanwhile, Rosalynn was awakened by a nightmare.
She sat up in bed, feeling slightly dizzy.
She got up and went to the living room, searching for a thermometer. She measured her temperature and found out she had a low-grade fever.
She guessed that she had been too busy during the day, sweating and experiencing temperature fluctuations, which resulted in the fever.
Rosalynn wrapped herself in a small blanket and sat on the couch in the living room. She ordered takeout, bought fever-reducing medication for pregnant women, and got some cooling patches.
After waiting for about half an hour, the medication was delivered.
She took the medicine, applied the cooling patches, and crawled back into bed.
Usually, she would complain about Wayne holding her while sleeping, finding it too hot, but now that he wasn't there, she felt cold and empty.
