The man abruptly let go of her. She had only just hauled the sheets over and immediately fell backward onto the bed. The instant she landed, she swerved her head over to see the light smile on the man's lips; he seemed to be laughing at her for overestimating herself.
She was immediately angered into rolling her eyes. She tugged the sheets up to cover her head.
"You just took your medicine. Wait for a while. Someone will be delivering food later. If you don't have the strength to eat, I'll feed you. Your fever is high right now. Even if you wish to clash with me, you have to build your strength back first. You should understand what is best for yourself right now." The man's voice could be heard through the sheets.
Ji Nuan stayed within the sheets refusing to speak up. It seemed that her fever was truly serious; despite staying stifled within the sheets for so long, she did not sweat at all. If she had, it was likely her fever would have already reduced.
