After one hour…
Headlights could be seen shining outside the mansion. Chi Zuxu had finally returned.
By the time he saw her, she was fast asleep, wrapped in the quilt, on the sofa. The flu medication had made her drowsy.
He kept his footsteps light when he cut across the hallway, toward Aunty Chen. His voice dropped to a whisper as he asked about her condition. "How's her condition? Has the doctor come to see her?"
"He did and prescribed her some drugs for the fever. The doctor also said that if her fever doesn't subside by tomorrow, then it would be best to take an injection."
"How did she end up in this state? She was still jumping about happily this afternoon."
"I'm not sure. She was fine when I last saw her, but by the time she had her bath, she ended up in such a state." The housekeeper looked puzzled as well.
He mulled for a while before nodding his head in understanding. "You go ahead to take a rest. I'll look after her."
