After taking her medication, she fell asleep swiftly that night.
In the dead of night, while she was dozing in and out of consciousness, Enoch was still awake, occasionally checking on her to make sure her fever hadn't spiked again.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Enoch, who had just been looking after her, settling down beside her.
Turning to face him, she murmured, "Enoch."
Hearing her awake, he glanced at her and asked, "What's up? Need some water?"
With that, he reached for a glass of water from the nightstand and handed it to her.
Drusilla took a sip and grimaced; despite being clear water, it tasted bitterly in her mouth, making her wonder if she would be able to eat anything the next day.
After finishing the water, Drusilla realized she was drenched in sweat.
Enoch, noticing her discomfort, softly said, "Try to get some sleep."
Looking at his tender expression, Drusilla couldn't help but tease, "Sometimes, I can't tell if you're a saint or a sinner!"
Enoch was taken aback, "Why would you think that? Don't I seem like a good guy?"
He believed he had been quite good to her, yet she doubted his intentions.
He looked at Drusilla and asked, "What did I do to make you uncomfortable?"
Drusilla replied, "So, you mean to say you'd change if I thought you were doing something wrong?"
Caught off guard, Enoch said, "Well, then tell me, what am I doing wrong?"
She couldn't really pinpoint anything. Staring back at Enoch, she said, "Besides taking advantage of me now and then, everything else is fine."
Enoch retorted, "Not sure who's taking advantage of whom, here."
Hearing this, Drusilla glanced at the spot where he had slept, and Cybele came over to tidy up the bed, whispering, "Honestly, Mr. Taylor is really good to you, much better than he was with his ex-fiancée."
Drusilla was surprised, "Really?"
When he was with Odette, there hadn't been any issues. They were about to get married; it didn't make sense for him to treat Odette poorly.
Cybele said, "Why would I lie? His ex never spent a night in his room. Mr. Taylor is a bit of a clean freak, not liking others in his space overnight. But with you, it's different."
She chuckled, "Look at me, gossiping. But you and Mr. Taylor are married now, so it's different."
But everything Cybele had shared was from the heart!
In her eyes, for a divorced woman to remarry as well as Drusilla had, was quite rare. Despite Enoch's disability, he was far more capable than many able-bodied men.
Hearing Cybele's words, Drusilla smiled slightly, "Did he tell you to say all that?"
