Autumn turned her head, and there he stood—Keith, lingering hesitantly in the doorway like a lost soul. He was still wearing the same shirt from yesterday, but his usually vibrant face was now flushed a deep, alarming red. He looked utterly exhausted and fragile, as if the weight of the world had finally caught up with him.
A sudden wave of concern washed over Autumn. Without a second thought—without allowing herself to question why she cared so much—she hurried over and gently placed her hand on his forehead. Her suspicion was confirmed immediately: he was burning up with a high fever. The heat radiating from his skin sent a jolt through her, and all thoughts of the distance between them melted away.
Carefully, she helped him settle onto the sofa, her movements gentle but efficient. "Do you have any fever medicine here at home?" she asked, her voice laced with worry.
Keith tried to sit up straighter, but his eyelids drooped heavily, his head spun slightly, and his whole body felt like a furnace. He shook his head weakly, barely able to form words. This was just a temporary place—a cold, bare apartment he had moved into recently. Apart from the bare essentials, he hadn't stocked any medication. He hadn't even thought about getting sick.
Autumn's voice softened as she pressed on, her maternal instincts kicking in. "Besides the fever, do you have any other symptoms? A sore throat, congestion, cough? Please tell me everything now so I can get the right medicine for you."
Keith shook his head again, his voice barely audible, a whisper of exhaustion. "No, nothing else."
Without hesitation, Autumn pulled out her phone and quickly placed an order for fever and cold medicine with express delivery. Her fingers flew across the screen, every second counting.
As she finished, her eyes scanned the sparse living room—it felt empty, almost sterile. Her gaze landed on the bare coffee table, and she frowned. "You don't even have a kettle here?"
Keith shook his head once more, a faint, embarrassed flush adding to his feverish complexion.
Looking around, Autumn noticed there wasn't even a water dispenser. Did he really never drink water at home? The place felt so barren, so unlived-in. How could anyone live like this? A pang of sadness hit her—he had always been so put-together in front of the world, but here, alone, he had nothing.
Determined to help, Autumn went to the bathroom, soaked a towel in warm water, wrung it out carefully, and gently laid it across his forehead to help bring down the fever. She moved with practiced ease, as if she had done this a thousand times before.
Watching her move around so attentively, Keith's lips curved into a faint, grateful smile. For the first time in a long while, he felt a flicker of comfort and peace—a warmth that had nothing to do with the fever. Closing his eyes, he pretended to sleep, savoring the quiet care he had been so desperately missing.
Soon after, Autumn returned with a kettle she had brought from her own place. She boiled water, poured it into a cup, and set it aside to cool, her every action deliberate and thoughtful.
Just as she finished, her phone buzzed—the delivery had arrived. She hurried to the door, but only then did she realize she had given her own address by mistake. A soft curse escaped her lips as she waved her phone to catch the courier's attention. "Over here!" she called out, rushing down the hallway.
The courier quickly handed her the package and left. Autumn returned to Keith, her heart pounding with a strange mix of urgency and tenderness. She gave him the medicine, then covered him with a thin blanket, tucking it around him as if he were a child.
She stayed close by, changing the damp towel on his forehead every so often and checking his temperature with a thermometer every half hour. Having cared for Sienna during her illnesses before, Autumn knew exactly what to do—but this time, it was different. This time, she wasn't doing it out of obligation. She was doing it because she couldn't bear to see him suffer.
Only when Keith's fever finally began to subside did Autumn feel a bit of relief. She decided to prepare some oatmeal—something light and soothing for his strained body.
About thirty minutes later, she returned carrying a steaming bowl and carefully slipped a pillow behind Keith's back to support him. Much like the time he had fed her when she was ill, she gently blew on each spoonful before feeding him little bites. Their movements were in perfect harmony, smooth and natural, without the slightest hint of awkwardness. It was as if their bodies remembered what their minds had tried to forget.
Suddenly, Keith's gaze locked onto hers, his eyes darkening with an unreadable expression. "Have you often taken care of others like this before?" His voice was hoarse, but there was a sharpness beneath the weakness.
Autumn's hand froze mid-air, holding the spoon with medicine. After a brief pause, she replied softly, "Mm. I used to have a sister-in-law who was quite spoiled. Whenever she was sick, no one else could handle her, so I was the one who had to look after her."
Grace had raised Sienna to be pampered and delicate. Whenever Sienna fell ill, she would specifically call for Autumn, insisting that only she would do. At first, Autumn thought it was because Sienna cared for her deeply, which was why she made such demands. But over time, Sienna only grew more unreasonable and stopped respecting Autumn as her sister-in-law altogether.
Despite her disappointment, Autumn had always fulfilled every request. She had given her time, her energy, her heart.
And what did she get in return?
Sienna had conspired with Luna to push Autumn out, even going so far as to frame her in an attempt to ruin her. For that betrayal alone, Autumn could never bring herself to forgive Sienna. The memory burned like a scar that would never fully heal.
Hearing Autumn's words, Keith's expression softened just a little. He accepted the medicine she offered and tilted his head back to swallow it, his throat bobbing as the bitterness went down.
At that moment, a sharp knock echoed at the door. Autumn glanced at Keith and said gently, "You've got a visitor. Your fever's finally gone down, so I'll head out now."
She stood up, but her heart lingered. Who was knocking at his door? And why did she feel a pang of something—jealousy? worry?—at the thought of leaving him alone?

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my heart! This chapter was so tender and bittersweet. Seeing Autumn care for Keith with such genuine warmth, despite everything that has happened between them, showed us that their connection is far from broken. The parallel between her caring for Sienna and now caring for Keith was beautifully painful—she gave her love to those who didn't deserve it, but now she's giving it to someone who might finally appreciate it. And Keith, vulnerable and stripped of his usual armor, letting her in... it was beautiful.
However, I couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety when the knock came. Who is it? Is it trouble? And will this moment of closeness be shattered?
**⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars** — A warm, emotionally rich chapter that reminded us why we love these two characters.
## Next Chapter Prediction
I believe that knock at the door is going to bring someone from Keith's past or someone connected to the ongoing drama. Perhaps it's Luna, or someone tied to the conspiracy against Autumn. This tender moment between Autumn and Keith is about to be interrupted by reality, and I predict we'll see Keith's protective instincts flare up again—or worse, we might see a misunderstanding that drives them apart once more. Get ready for tension, folks!
