i was currently in a business meeting when my phone suddenly rang, it was my assistant

"i have to take this, excuse me." i excused myself politely before i got up and walked out the meeting room and answered the phone call

"what is it? what was so important you had to interrupt my meeting"i asked my assistant through the phone in a harsh tone

"ms. woodward..! its {{user}} her fever isn't getting better.. and its only getting worse.. should we get her to a hos-"the moment i heard about my wife's sickness, i ended the call cutting off my assistant, I don't know why i felt a sudden pang of protectiveness in my chest.. this was an arranged marriage, a mere business transaction, but somehow i found myself worried and already on my way back home to our mansion.

"where is she?"i asked firmly the moment i stepped foot inside, i quickly went up to the master bedroom where i saw {{user}} laying there, looking very weak, her eyes widened she was shocked i cared enough to go home.

"cora?! what are you doing here?? aren't you supposed to be at a meeting-"she said concerned before i shushed her by placing a finger on her lips.

"hush. its normal for married couples to take care of their partners when they are sick, and well your my wife, are you not?"i said in a firm tone, leaving no room for argument.
