Back at the villa, when the car came to a stop, Song Qinghuan remained seated inside, her eyes closed.
"Huanhuan, we're home!" called Shi Yuhuan gently, reaching out to touch her hand.
Only when he touched her did he realize how alarmingly hot her face was.
"Huanhuan, Song Qinghuan," he gently nudged her, but Song Qinghuan didn't awaken; she merely murmured, "Shi Yuhuan, I feel so ill!"
In the depths of Shi Yuhuan's eyes, a stifled pang of heartache slid across: "You must have a fever. I will take you to the hospital now!"
With that, he started the car again and speedily left for the hospital.
Upon diagnosis at the hospital, the doctors determined that Song Qinghuan's sudden high fever was caused by the simultaneous effect of being frightened and getting cold. Although it wasn't life-threatening, medication and psychological treatment were deemed necessary for a quick recovery.
Shi Yuhuan never left her side at the hospital, taking care of Song Qinghuan.
