Marriage for Revenge
Caring for Dave

This afternoon Valerie visited Dave's apartment, Dave had left for work so only Valerie and Maura were alone in the apartment.

"How is your relationship with Dave's brother?" Valerie asked in between their chat

Maura breathed a rough breath, she was so lazy to talk about Dave. "The more days my relationship gets worse, Val."

"Was Dave mad at you when that guy gave you flowers?"

"Why do you know?" Maura narrowed her eyes.

Valerie chuckled, then she confirmed sitting him on the sofa. "Sister Dave is jealous of you. Why don't you understand?"

"No way, obviously Dave hates me so much" Maura denied.

"Sister Dave is jealous, you don't always go against him! Dave doesn't like to be challenged. Believe me!" Valerie tried to convince Maura

Maura was stunned he was perceiving Valerie's advice, it's true he was always against Dave's treatment. Maura was so hooked when Dave always provoked her.

While Valerie looked at her thinking friend, she then took the cake from the jar and ate it voraciously.

"Hmm good too."

The night was 9 p.m., but Dave wasn't home yet. Maura was so lonely in her own apartment, this afternoon she forced Valerie to stay the night, but Valerie refused subtly. He accidentally left Maura alone in the apartment with Dave so that their relationship improved. Though Valerie doesn't know Dave always comes home late on purpose, she's been avoiding Maura lately.

Maura was done brushing her teeth, and washing her hands and feet. He covered his body with a warm blanket. It's really cold tonight.

I heard someone open the door.

"Surely it's Dave!"

Maura immediately opened the door of her room a little and it was true that her husband had gone home. Dave walked over somewhat staggeringly. Is he drunk? It looks like Dave is holding on to the walls of the apartment. Then the man immediately entered his room.

"He's why?" Murmured Maura was curious.

Maura walks toward Dave's open door, where she sees Dave lying down in his fully outfit.

"Dave?" Call Maura, but there's no telling from inside the room.

Maura grew curious and walked into Dave's room. Dave lay with his eyes closed.

"He why? " Inner Maura, the curiosity is becoming more and more.

Maura sits herself on the edge of Dave's bed, and then touches her husband's hand. Maura was shocked when her husband's body was so hot.

"Dave, are you sick?" Maura asked, but there was no reply from the man.

Then the girl touched Dave's sweaty forehead, Maura immediately retrieved the thermometer from the medicine box. He then put the thermometer in Dave's armpit.

"39?" Maura exclaimed in shock, as she looked at the 39-degree mark on the thermometer.

"It turns out you could be sick too huh?" Maura said on the sidelines of compressing activities.

Indeed lately Dave is so hard working, he always comes home late at night. Dave is always overtime because Dave wants to finish his new project quickly. Dave is notoriously ambitious when it comes to handling projects.

Maura notices Dave's sleeping face, she remembers the moments when Dave still loved her. Dave always spoils her and takes her for a walk. My heart misses it all so much.

"Hey, what are you thinking about Maura? Ask yourself

Maura checked Dave's body temperature again, still no movement remains at 39 degrees. Maura panics, fearing that Dave has a seizure at such a high temperature.

"Dave, you're okay, right? Dave talk!" Maura cupped Dave's cheek

"No, I want to puke" murmured Dave but was still heard by Maura.

Dave's stomach felt in the stir, Maura immediately ran carrying a container that he found in the kitchen.

"Push in here!" Maura brought the container closer to Dave.

Dave spewed everything into the container, his stomach felt in a stirring.Maybe the effect of the dizziness earlier, he thought. Maura nipped Dave. After that Maura immediately threw the contents of the container into the sink, he then cleaned everything until Dave's room was clean and neat again.

Until the next morning Maura could not sleep, she continued to monitor Dave's condition while compressing her husband. He put the thermometer back in Dave's armpit, and the temperature dropped to 37 degrees. Maura was relieved.

By morning the drowsiness began to attack him, he was already unable to resist his sleepiness. Maura slid her body beside Dave, she pulled out a little blanket wrapped around Dave's body and wrapped herself in the same blanket.

His eyes felt heavy, before long he had gone to dreamland.

Dave opened his eyes, he was so confused as a half-drenched compress cloth covered his forehead. He recalled that when Dave felt bad in his body yesterday morning. Then when he came home his head was so dizzy and his eyes felt hot.

His stomach felt heavy as if he had been crushed by something, his eyesight swirling, he then saw a hand hugging his stomach. Dave was shocked when Maura fell asleep beside him.

"Did Maura take care of me last night?" Inner Dave, he saw his wife who was sleeping soundly.

Dave turned his body to face Maura until they faced each other. Dave looked closely at the girl who had become his wife. His bad treatment of Maura was clearly remembered. He feels strange because Maura wants to take care of him, while Dave always hurts him. Dave hugged his wife tightly, as if the hug was his most comfortable place. He was so comfortable that he fell asleep again.

"Dave, wakeup!" Maura cried, she just finished making breakfast for her husband.

Dave opened his eyes limply, Maura immediately helped Dave to lean his body against the pillow he had piled up so he could make it easier to eat.

Maura feeds her husband in silence, Dave does not speak a word. Maura understood him, he was used to it all. Maura immediately takes a glass of water on the nightstand, then helps Dave to drink. Thank goodness Dave looked well this morning.

"Right heal Dave! I don't have any fussy friends" Maura said as she finished feeding Dave.

Maura smiled at Dave, then stroked her husband's cheek and left Dave's room. Dave looked at the back of Maura who left his room, he touched his chest it felt like his heart was beating faster.

"Is this feeling still there?" Ask Dave to himself.
