Chapter 640: Chapter 639 What on Earth Do You Want to Do (9)
Chuxia unexpectedly came down with a high fever? So, she has been burning up like this for an entire day? If, if he hadn’t been worried and climbed in to check on her, what state would she be in now?
Shi Che’s heart trembled involuntarily, and a slow sense of relief rose from the bottom of his heart. Yet, seeing Ling Chuxia’s current condition, his heart ached fiercely.
Shi Che hurriedly got up. He first made a phone call, hastily giving a few orders before he went into the bathroom, took a washbasin, filled it with warm water, and took down Ling Chuxia’s towel. Holding the basin, he walked out and placed it on the bedside table, wrung out the towel, and gently wiped away her cold sweat bit by bit.
Then, he removed the damp clothes from Chuxia’s body and continued to wipe her down with the towel. After that, he stood up, found a set of pajamas in the wardrobe, and helped Chuxia change into them.
Throughout the process, he was focused and earnest, without a hint of improper thoughts—just watching Ling Chuxia unconsciously moan lightly, his heart trembled along with her.
Ling Chuxia seemed to feel very cold, even after changing into dry clothes and being covered with thick blankets, her body continued to shiver uncontrollably, her teeth chattering together as she weakly murmured in a low voice, "Cold..."
Shi Che’s brows were tightly furrowed, he couldn’t help but pick up the phone again, urging the doctor to arrive as quickly as possible. Then he sat by the bed, spread his arms, and embraced Ling Chuxia along with the blanket into his hold.
Ling Chuxia’s head rested against his chest, the cold sweat on her forehead kept seeping out, soon soaking his shirtfront. Shi Che could only hold his arms even tighter.
When the doctor arrived an hour later, seeing Shi Che’s somber face, he didn’t dare to speak much and went straight to check on Ling Chuxia.
Ling Chuxia’s fever was caused by a cold, not usually a serious matter, but she had been sleeping dazedly for a day without taking any medicine or eating anything, and she had been wearing wet clothes the whole time, which had severely worsened her condition, leaving her unconscious.
The doctor administered an injection to Ling Chuxia and prescribed some medicine, reminding Shi Che to prepare some light congee for her so that after she regained consciousness, she could be fed before taking her medication.
Shi Che, his handsome face still solemn, carefully took note of the doctor’s instructions. The doctor nodded and left.
After the injection, whether it was the effect of the medicine or not, Ling Chuxia’s body gradually calmed down, and she stopped constantly muttering about being cold. Shi Che sat beside her, meticulously wiped off the cold sweat from her face and body, and then stood up and headed to the kitchen.
-
As the medicine slowly took effect, Ling Chuxia’s consciousness gradually became clearer. She slowly opened her eyes, and in the room, only the wall lamp was on, casting a weak, warm yellow light.
She looked around blankly for a while before recognizing that she was in her own room.
What happened to her? Did she have a fever?
Unconsciously, Ling Chuxia reached out to touch her forehead. Her palm was already hot, and touching it felt even hotter; even the breath she exhaled was hot.
She had only had a slight cold yesterday, and she hadn’t expected to develop a fever today. However... she didn’t feel any dampness on her body, but quite the opposite—it felt very dry. She turned her face to the side and immediately saw the washbasin and towel placed on the bedside table.
Had someone taken care of her? Who was it? Brother Xuan? After all, in this house, only Brother Xuan knew the password to get in.
But Brother Xuan, hadn’t he said he would be away on a business trip for a week?
