Xu Jiamu laid by the bed, while Qiao Anxia and the assistant sat on the sofa and chair respectively.
Lu Jinnian didn't disturb them, gently placing the things he bought on the table. He walked over to the bed and reached his hand out to touch Qiao Anhao's forehead. She still had a fever.
Lu Jinnian tiptoed into the bathroom, grabbed a towel, soaked it in cold water, wrung it dry, and placed it on Qiao Anhao's forehead.
The cold temperature made her feel a little more comfortable. Her furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Lu Jinnian stood by the bed, not leaving. He stared at her, his gaze softening. After a long while, he reached his hand out to caress her face.
When he was washing the towel, his hand came into contact with cold water, so he didn't dry it. Now that it was dried, the temperature was a little cold. Qiao Anhao couldn't help but greedily rub her face against his palm.
Seeing how obedient she was, Lu Jinnian couldn't help but smile. His thumb gently caressed her cheeks twice, then he glanced over at Xu Jiamu, who was sleeping soundly. His eyes flickered, then he pulled his hand back and walked away.
Xu Jiamu, Qiao Anxia, and the assistant only woke up when the nurse came in to deliver dinner.
While they were eating, the nurse took Qiao Anhao's temperature. She still had a fever, so the nurse put her on an IV drip.
By the time they finished dinner, it was already eight in the evening. Xu Jiamu looked at Qiao Anxia's listless and sleepy face, then looked over at the small hospital room. "Why don't you guys go find a hotel and rest, I'll stay here to keep watch."
Lu Jinnian wanted to stay, but with Xu Jiamu around, how could he have the right to take care of her?
Lu Jinnian calmly looked at Qiao Anhao, who was lying on the bed, for a while. Then he gently nodded. "Alright."
Before leaving, Lu Jinnian pointed at the bag he brought back in the afternoon. "That's the clothes I bought for her."
"Mmh." Xu Jiamu nodded. "I got it."
Lu Jinnian glanced at Qiao Anhao, who was still in a deep sleep, then strode out of the hospital room, closing the door behind him.
The assistant found a hotel near the hospital, booked three rooms, and checked in.
Lu Jinnian stood in front of the window, smoking about three cigarettes. When he realized that the pack was empty, he laid on the bed, unable to fall asleep. In the end, he changed his clothes and walked out of the room.
There was a convenience store next to the hotel. He bought a pack of cigarettes and lit one up. Standing on the unfamiliar street, he took two deep puffs.
The night wind blew, mixed with the heat of summer. The night in the small city was especially quiet. There were almost no cars on the streets. Even the shops on both sides of the street were closed. Occasionally, one or two motorcycles would drive past at high speed.
Lu Jinnian stood there for a while, but in the end, he still walked towards the hospital.
When he entered the hospital building, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
The corridor was very quiet. Only the sound of his footsteps echoed in the long corridor.
Lu Jinnian stood outside Qiao Anhao's hospital room. He didn't go in, but leaned against the wall. Through the glass, he looked at Xu Jiamu watching over Qiao Anhao, sitting by the bed. He even raised his hand to adjust the speed of the IV drip.
He couldn't help but raise his head. The lights above his head shone on his eyes, making them dry and bitter. There was an unsuppressable sourness in his chest.
