Chapter 22 - Fever

After submitting the homework to Mr Sui, Yan Zhao started to knock on the door. Su Muxue was dazedly sleeping in the room. When she heard the sound, she thought that she was dreaming.

No one answered for a long time. Yan Zhao had no choice but to find the mechanical keyhole and force his way in. When he entered the bedroom, he found Su Muxue sleeping soundly. Her face was red and her breathing was heavy. It was obvious that something was wrong.

Yan Zhao reached out to touch her and felt that her forehead was frighteningly hot.

"Su Muxue! Su Muxue, wake up! You have a fever!"

"A fever?" Su Muxue couldn't even open her eyes, she was in a daze. "You can't tell my mom. She's going to get worried."

Yan Zhao was so angry that he didn't know what to say. She still cares about that right now?

Even so, he did not inform the Su family on the way to the hospital.

"Overwhelmed with fear and pent-up emotions. Has something happened to you recently?"

In the hospital, a kind-looking elderly doctor with white hair was giving Su Muxue a diagnosis.

Yan Zhao didn't understand. "Isn't it a fever?"

The doctor took a look at him and took out an unknown herb from his pocket. He put it under Su Muxue's nose and let her smell a few whiffs before he started the standard procedure for lowering a fever.

"Young lady, this is an acute illness. There weren't any warning signs before, right?"

Seeing Yan Zhao nod subconsciously, the elderly doctor smiled. "You'll be fine after tonight. Young man, you must take good care of your girlfriend!"

"No, we…" Yan Zhao wanted to deny it, but found it too troublesome and just admitted it. "I will."

Hearing that, the elderly doctor left with a smile.

Su Muxue lay on the bed with her eyes closed. She didn't know what the elderly doctor had done to her. She only felt that the fuzziness in her mind seemed to have been washed away in an instant, leaving only clarity.

From an onlooker's perspective in the dream, she saw the past years of Su Muxue's life with her own eyes. She shared her pain and sorrow, her laughter and joy. This completely filed down the barrier between them.

When she woke up, Su Muxue had completely forgotten about her fright yesterday.

"Cousin Muxue? It's really you!"

Just as Su Muxue got up and was about to leave, someone pushed the door open and greeted her warmly.

Su Muxue turned around and said with a somewhat distant attitude, "Cousin Xinhan.

Tan Xinhan was the child of Su Muxue's aunt.

"So I didn't see you mistakenly yesterday, Yan Zhao was indeed carrying you!" Tan Xinhan came up and greeted her affectionately. "Cousin Muxue, what happened to you? Are you sick? Is it serious? Why didn't Aunt Yuan come along?"

"Yes, it's a bit of a flu." Su Muxue didn't want to talk to her. She didn't have a very close relationship with her cousin and now she wanted to leave as soon as possible because she didn't want to see Yan Zhao again.

After questioning her like that yesterday, it was simply not enough for him to just send her to the hospital!

"Cousin Xinhan, why did you come here? You have family here?"

"Oh, no, my grandfather is here for consultation. Cousin, you don't know yet, right? My grandfather is a doctor hired by this Lin Hospital! Ordinary people want to but they can't even register for his consultation. There are even people who traveled thousands of miles from the capital city just to be seen by him!"

Tan Xinhan's eyes were full of delight. She couldn't compete with Su Muxue in other aspects, but once her Grandpa was mentioned, she couldn't even stop talking!

Su Yuanwei had never mentioned anyone else from the Su family.

There might not even be other people in the Su family!

Her father was right. No matter how powerful the Su family was, it was still difficult for a single post to bear the burden. They were not like the Tan Family. The Tan family had a vast number of family members and it was not something a small family like the Su family could compare with.

Su Muxue found it funny. She looked down at the thermos in Tan Xinhan's hand. "It's indeed amazing, but won't the food turn cold if you deliver it any later?"
