After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Maria blinked a few times, then said, "I'm feeling a bit thirsty."

Herman shook his head gently. "You can't drink water right now. How about this-I'll use a cotton swab to moisten your lips. It'll help a little, alright?"

Maria was silent for a moment before asking, "When can I drink water?"

"In 24 hours," Herman replied.

Immediately, Maria's expression turned despairing, and she closed her eyes, looking defeated. "I'm really thirsty..."

Herman didn't say anything more but turned and busied himself.

Moments later, Maria felt something cool and moist on her lips.

Startled, she opened her eyes to find Herman sitting at the bedside, holding a cup of water in one hand and a cotton swab in the other, carefully moisturizing her lips.

His expression was focused, his eyes resting solely on her lips, without any other intention. The room was brightly lit, casting clear lines across his handsome features. His calm, attentive gaze made Maria pause for a moment.
