Gu Qianqian had a fever, which was hardly unexpected.
The pills she took had unknown ingredients, and she had spent so much time in the ice-cold water, it would be difficult not to fall ill. Fortunately, by the time Lu Zhanbei carried her out of the bathroom, the peak hour traffic had subsided.
Lu Zhanbei skillfully helped her change clothes and then, with a phone call, Driver Li arrived, taking her directly to the hospital.
After a blood test, the doctor said her condition wasn't serious. The cold water had triggered a severe upper respiratory infection, causing a persistent fever.
Worried about her discomfort, Lu Zhanbei abandoned his work to watch over her the whole night. It wasn't until the break of dawn that Gu Qianqian slowly opened her listless eyes.
The first thing she saw was Lu Zhanbei's slightly red eyes. Seeing his state, she instinctively tried to sit up, but he stopped her with a firm hand.
"Lie down!"
"But Lu Zhanbei…"
