His wife had been clenching her teeth tightly all along, surely in much discomfort from such high fever, yet she stubbornly didn't make a sound.
Tan Zhenghong spoke softly, "Wife, how about you stop being a hero from now on?"
He didn't care what Qiao Duo'er's previous life had been like, nor whether she was willing or not, he only knew that Qiao Duo'er was his wife and he would always protect her.
From now on, she would be an ordinary little wife, responsible only for being happy.
Before long, her temperature rebounded, and Tan Zhenghong repeated what he had just done.
After several such repetitions, her temperature finally stabilized somewhat.
Having done all this, he went out to boil half a pot of water.
After boiling it, he diluted it with the cooled water in the kettle before feeding it to Qiao Duo'er. Duo'er was so thirsty she drank two cups of water in one go.
After drinking the water, she started to sweat and Tan Zhenghong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
