"Fuck, whenever you're in my arms, I feel like I might crush you. You're so delicate," he said, kissing her cheek.
"Huh?"
"It took me three years to hug you, and today you let him hug you...

"Yes, doctor, thank you," I said to doctor.
"Feel free to call me if there's any emergency," the doctor had reassured me before leaving.
I stood by the door, looking over at my Lili, who was resting in bed, her face flushed with fever. Cold, exhaustion, and what not—she was suffering, and I knew it was all my fault.
I shouldn’t have left her alone at the waterpark. I let her stay in the cold water for far too long. And to make things worse, I gave in and bought her two cups of ice cream. What was I thinking?
Watching her now, curled up and fragile, I felt a deep sense of guilt. I should have taken better care of her, and now she’s paying the price for my lack of judgment.
I sat gently on the edge of the bed and checked her forehead—it was still burning hot with fever.
"Lili," I whispered, trying to wake her up softly. "Lili, please eat something. You need to take your medicine," I said, stroking her hair gently.
"No," she mumbled in her sleep, resisting.
"What do you mean 'no,' Lili? Okay, just a little soup, a few sips," I coaxed her softly.
Reluctantly, she sat up, and I made sure to wrap her in the blanket to keep her warm.
"Here, drink this," I said, holding the spoon near her mouth. She opened her mouth, and I quickly fed her some soup.
After a few sips, she turned her head. "No," she said again, refusing to drink more.
"Just a few more, please," I urged her, and after a moment, she opened her mouth again, allowing me to feed her a little more.
After she finished drinking the soup, she took her medicine, though her words were slurred with exhaustion.
"I want to sleep," she murmured softly.
"Yes, Lili," I whispered, helping her lie back down on the bed. I gently tapped her head, soothing her until she drifted back to sleep.
I sat there for a moment, watching her, feeling a wave of guilt wash over me. I ruined our honeymoon. I should have been focused on her, on us, but instead, I let myself get distracted by that business deal.
