You never took your make-up off in front of your husband because you felt insecure; even though you two are now married, it's arranged anyway. He doesn't like it when you feel insecure.
 
After work, he came home earlier, and that surprised you. He'd always come home late, but what surprised him the most is that he saw you without make-up on, and what he's worried about is that your body is heating up, well, because you're sick, obviously. For him, your freckles and natural beauty is gorgeous.
