TO MY DEAR MR. HUO

542-543

Chapter 542: Is He Dying?

Su Qingsang got very close to him but couldn’t hear what he was saying. She moved closer to him. Still, nothing.

It sounded like he was asking a question. Su Qingsang tried to hear him more clearly, but he finally fell asleep.

She took a shower and then lay down by his side. He didn’t say anything after that, not even while sleeping.

Su Qingsang lay by his side and leaned against him gently. His body wasn’t as cold as before.

His body temperature was still lower than usual, though. Su Qingsang couldn’t help but put her arms around him.

He wasn’t wearing any clothes at all, but she wasn’t aroused by his nakedness.

All she had in her mind at that moment was his tears which had flown into her heart, and the way his arms had trembled when he held her.

She raised her head and looked at him. He looked paler than before. She could tell that he wasn’t sleeping well.

She felt his heart aching for him. She didn’t know what had happened. At last, she held him tighter to try to give him some strength and comfort.

In the middle of the night, the heat woke Su Qingsang up.

She felt extremely uncomfortable, so she lifted the blanket. But then, she realized that what made her feel uncomfortable wasn’t the blanket. It was Huo Jinyao.

His skin was burning hot. That abnormally high body temperature of his alerted Su Qingsang woke her up almost immediately.

“Jinyao?”

She gently pushed him. He didn’t respond to her. His forehead was even hotter than the rest of his body.

He was breathing heavily. Su Qingsang quickly got up from the bed. The cold shower must have made him develop a fever.

She went to the living room in a haste for the medical kit. She found the medicine for fever and planned to give some to Huo Jinyao. However, Huo Jinyao refused to take the pills. She couldn’t make him swallow them.

At last, she forced the pills into his mouth and poured some water into her own mouth. Then, she gave him the water mouth to mouth.

She had no time to worry about Huo Jinyao infecting her. Huo Jinyao’s body temperature still stayed high for a while after he took the pills.

As a doctor, Su Qingsang knew what to do. She brought some water and a wet cloth to place on his forehead and physically cool him down.

It took Su Qingsang over an hour to bring Huo Jinyao’s fever down.

She was exhausted when that was done. She lay back down on the bed, but couldn’t sleep again.

She looked at Huo Jinyao. She was sure that something very terrible must have happened to him. She just couldn’t figure out what it was, though.

She was tired, as she had been taking care of Huo Jinyao all night. After spending a while staring at Huo Jinyao, she fell asleep again.

Su Qingsang didn’t know that a person who was usually never ill could be difficult to heal when he became ill.

She had given Huo Jinyao some pills last night, but in the morning she woke up to find that he was having a fever again.

It was even worse than last night.

She hurriedly found more pills and gave them to Huo Jinyao, then placed the wet cloth on his forehead again.

That didn’t work. Huo Jinyao’s fever was extremely high. He even started murmuring in his sleep.
