Chapter 73
73 Shen Yao, Open Your Mouth!
Ji Zhao hurriedly called out, but Shen Yao did not respond.
Her heart sank and she hurried to his side.
Under the dim candlelight, she realized that there was something wrong with Shen Yao’s expression.
She anxiously reached for Shen Yao’s forehead and felt a burning sensation on the back of her hand.
“Shen Yao?” Ji Zhao hurriedly shook his arm. Unfortunately, Shen Yao, who had a fever, had lost consciousness.
Ji Zhao hurriedly helped him up and placed his arm on her shoulder!
“Hello, may I know where the nearest medical center is?” Ji Zhao helped Shen Yao down the stairs with difficulty. She panted as she walked to the waiter who was leaning against the counter and napping.
“Miss? What happened to you?” The startled waiter knew that the couple were Second Manager You’s friends and asked with concern.
“My husband suddenly has a high fever. Can I trouble you to take me to the nearest medical center nearby?” Ji Zhao asked anxiously. “My husband is unconscious now. I’m very worried!”
“Please wait a moment! I’ll go with you!” The waiter hurriedly ran to the backyard. After notifying the head shopkeeper who was keeping watch at night, he helped Ji Zhao support Shen Yao. “After leaving the shop, turn left. It’s Physician Wang’s house. Physician Wang is good friends with Second Manager You. He will definitely help!”
“Alright, thank you!”
“You’re too polite!” The waiter gritted his teeth and carried Shen Yao on his back. Then, he jogged out of the door.
Ji Zhao followed closely behind.
About two hours later, Shen Yao’s fever finally subsided.
“Thank you, doctor!” Ji Zhao thanked him profusely.
“You’re welcome.” Physician Wang stroked his beard and smiled. “Since you’re Second Manager You’s friend, I won’t pursue the matter of you disturbing my sweet dreams. However, the consultation fee is two taels. I refuse to bargain!”
“Of course!” Ji Zhao hurriedly nodded. “It’s just that we came out in a hurry just now. Can I send the consultation fees over tomorrow morning?”
“It’s fine.” Physician Wang yawned tiredly. “Your husband suddenly had a high fever because he caught a cold. I’ll give you a prescription later. Boil those herbs into a bowl of water three times a day. After drinking it for three days, he’ll be fine.”
Ji Zhao, who was listening attentively, hurriedly nodded. “Thank you, doctor!”
“Then go ahead. I’m going back to my room to sleep.”
To be safe, Ji Zhao decided to stay at Physician Wang’s house for the night.
“I want to stay and take care of my husband. Thank you so much for just now. Tomorrow morning, please help me pass a message to Second Manager You?” Ji Zhao hurriedly looked at the exhausted waiter and pleaded softly.
“Don’t worry, I will deliver the message!” The waiter nodded vigorously.
“Thanks a lot.”
Ji Zhao probed Shen Yao’s forehead again. After confirming that his fever had completely subsided, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Cough cough-
Shen Yao, who was lying on the bed, coughed rapidly again.
Ji Zhao quickly poured hot water. After blowing on it to cool it down, she sat on the edge of the bed and helped Shen Yao up with one hand. With the other, she brought the cup of water to his lips.
“Shen Yao, open your mouth and drink water obediently!”
When the half-asleep Shen Yao heard this, he subconsciously opened his mouth.
After the warm water entered his throat, he finally stopped coughing.
At dawn, a ray of light shone through the window onto the bed.
Sensing the dazzling light, Shen Yao opened his eyes in discomfort.
He lowered his eyes slightly and saw a familiar beautiful face.
