He Zhiyao developed a high fever in the middle of the night.
Qin Shuang heard from Xu Ji that the medication he was currently taking could damage his immune system, making him more susceptible to falling ill, and he would be sick for two or three days after each dose.
Especially over the past few days, after having undergone deep hypnosis therapy and being under great mental stress, he was even more likely to fall ill.
But she hadn't expected the illness to strike so fiercely.
Alarmed, she called Xu Ji late at night and, under his guidance, gave He Zhiyao fever reducers and anti-inflammatory drugs, only managing to fall asleep herself as dawn was almost breaking.
When He Zhiyao woke up, it was already morning, and Qin Shuang beside him, probably exhausted, was sound asleep.
He moved his heavy head and reached for his cellphone on the nightstand to check it.
A mess of texts and missed calls.
