As she got closer, Shi Yao realized that the 'sleeping' Lin Jiage's complexion was a little awful. His eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and the skin on his lips had dried up. His breathing seemed to be taking a lot of effort, as if he was struggling to catch his breath.
Was Lin Jiage … having a nightmare? Or …
Without thinking too much into it, Shi Yao called out, "Lin Jiage?"
"Lin Jiage?"
She called out his name several times, but he didn't show any signs of waking up.
"Lin Jiage?" When Shi Yao called out his name once more, she couldn't help but reach out to touch his shoulder.
Through his clothes, Shi Yao could clearly feel a scorching sensation.
Her fingers trembled, and she instinctively retracted her hand.
In the next instant, Shi Yao finally understood what was going on. She subconsciously reached out to touch Lin Jiage's forehead, and she realized that his temperature was shockingly high.
It was no wonder why she felt that there was something wrong with his voice earlier. It would be weird if he didn't feel uncomfortable with such a high fever …
What else could she say? He's sleeping soundly … How is this sleeping soundly? He's clearly in a daze from the fever!
As these thoughts flashed across Shi Yao's mind, she slowly recalled how warm he was and how she leaned against him … But that wasn't warmth at all; it was the heat from a high fever …
Shi Yao tried calling out Lin Jiage's name another two more times, but he still didn't show any signs of waking up. So, she ran to the bathroom and soaked a towel in cold water before wringing it dry. After which, she ran back to the bed and carefully folded the towel into a square before placing it on Lin Jiage's forehead.
After doing a simple physical cooling for Lin Jiage, Shi Yao ran back to her bedroom and changed back into the clothes she had changed out of during the shower. After which, she grabbed Lin Jiage's car keys and headed to the underground parking lot.
After exiting the neighborhood, Shi Yao drove for less than five minutes before she saw a 24-hour pharmacy by the roadside.
She quickly stepped on the brakes.
A second after the car came to a halt, she got out and rushed into the pharmacy.
After buying a thermometer and fever medicine, Shi Yao decided to ask the owner of the pharmacy for help when she was paying the bill.
The owner was very enthusiastic, and he told her how to cool down her fever if it didn't subside.
After thanking him, Shi Yao grabbed a bottle of alcohol and a bag of cotton balls before leaving the pharmacy and rushing back to Lin Jiage's house.
After closing the door to the living room, Shi Yao removed her shoes and ran to Lin Jiage's bedroom. She stretched out her finger to feel his breathing, and after confirming that his breathing was normal, she heaved a sigh of relief. She took the warm towel from his forehead and took it back to the bathroom to soak it in cold water before placing it back on Lin Jiage's forehead.
Shi Yao took out the thermometer and stuffed it into Lin Jiage's mouth before heading to the dining room.
Not too long later, Shi Yao returned with a cup of water in hand.
She placed the bottle of water on the bedside table and took out the fever medicine. After reading through the instruction manual, she realized that three minutes had already passed. Thus, she took the thermometer from Lin Jiage's mouth and raised it to her eyes to take a look at the result.
Thirty-nine degrees Celsius … His fever was so high. No wonder he didn't react when she rolled off his bed and made such a loud noise …
With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao took out the fever medicine.
She stuffed the medicine into his mouth and picked up the glass of water.
