18

It was early morning when Zhan woke up with headache and feeling warm body temperature.

It took him a few minutes to be fully awake and feel Yibo's warm body lying over him.

Zhan woke up fully and pat Yibo's cheeks slowly calling him yet got no response.

" Yiyi?.. Wake up! Can you hear me?"
Zhan this time fully sit up and laid Yibo's body down over the bed.

He then searched for his phone then called Dr. Smith and ask him to visit as soon as possible. The Doctor was scared from his voice and asked him Yibo's condition and let him cool Yibo's body down till then.

Zhan then went inside bathroom and get a boul of water and cloth. He then use the damp cloth over Yibo's head to cool Yibo's fever down. All his headache went away in worry.

Yibo moved a little feeling something cold over his head. He slowly blinked his eyes open and looked at Zhan who was worried and thought that how is it possible for Zhan to worry about him when he is sane as in his eyes Zhan only worry for him in drunkness.

" Ge..!" Yibo mumbled with watery eyes. His face flushed from high fever. His condition was so bad that he didn't know when he cried.

" Yiyi?.. Where does it hurt? It's ok, don't cry! Doctor will be here soon!" Zhan didn't know if he was talking to himself or Yibo as he hugged baby and wiped his tears. He was so distressed that he didn't know what to do.

Zhan keep changing the damp cloth over Yibo's head till Dr. Smith arrived.

Zhan just stood sideway and watch him inject Yibo then changed the dressing of his injured hand and told him that Yibo is feverish because of last night's injury and weakness. He then prescribed the medicine if Yibo's fever still not goes down till noon.

Zhan nooded and let Mr. Han lead the Doctor out and buy the medicine in case of emergency.

He then sat next to Yibo and changed the damp cloth over his head as cool compresses can help draw heat away from the body.

Zhan keep checking Yibo's temperature and use cooling clock for almost two hours. It was almost 9 am when Yibo's fever was started to drop and he became a little conscious.

" hey! Are you feeling OK?" Zhan asked Yibo was just blinked and couldn't speak because of weakness.

Zhan knew from Yibo's expression that Yibo is weak but no pain so he let Mrs. Han cook porridge for Yibo as he didn't want to leave Yibo's side.

Zhan didn't know what's wrong with him. He only knows that he is scared to leave Yibo alone. He always feels that Yibo might leave him from the time Yibo was in come from his inhumane torture so he never left Yibo's side more then necessary.

It's just that he is lucky that he has trusted people who can handle his work when he is busy and his business doesn't need him to communicate with others as only others need his recognition to corporate.

Zhan helped Yibo sit up after Mrs. Han came with the soup. He carefully cool it down and feed Yibo who didn't like the taste.

" Be good!!!" Zhan gently asked Yibo who didn't open his mouth for the second time.

" Yiyi!" This time Zhan raised his voice a little which made Yibo's eyes teary and open his mouth and ate silently.

By the time Yibo finished the porridge he was already crying silently. Zhan silently hand the bowl to Mrs. Han and sign her to leave who watched Yibo cry in worry.

Zhan then made Yibo drink water even if he was crying silly.

Yibo's fever was still not down and Zhan didn't know how to clam him down as he was scared that Yibo's fever will went up again.

Yibo actually was more sad that the man is same yet he could care for him and never raise his voice when drunk only knows how yell and hurt him when conscious. His heart was heavy and the fever didn't help making him more emotional.

Before Yibo could lost himself and cry more he felt something forced into his mouth. He was stunned and looked at Zhan and slowly bite the piece of chocolate which was delicious.

Zhan sighed in relief watching the baby dumb and eating the chocolate with wide eyes. He thought Yibo was looking cute even in fever. So he feed another piece to him.

Yibo happily ate another piece and watched the chocolate box which was of some unknown brand which he never had even if his papa sometimes bring him chocolates from aboard.

Yibo only thought that it's delicious and this was he looks at Zhan who finally feed him another piece and like this Yibo was fed the whole box of 20 pieces.

Zhan felt it's a relief that Yibo is easy to coax and five years ago he knew Yibo has a special liking for chokolate and loved to ate different kind of chokolates. So when Zhan brought one of the most healthy chocolate brand and specifically ordered to develop this chocolate which only supplied to him.

Yibo was feeling sleepy after a full meal so Zhan tucked him into comforter and out of nowhere Mimi jumped over the bed and cuddle next to Yibo's neck.

Zhan wanted to throw the cat away but Yibo hugging the cat so Zhan didn't say anything. Zhan just watch Yibo sleep and keep checking his temperature and change the wet cloth over his head from time to time.

It was almost 1 pm when Yibo's temperature was normal. Zhan signed in relief. He let Yibo sleep and went to take as shower as from the morning till now he didn't leave Yibo's side for more than 5 minutes.
