Chapter 414: Chapter 413 I Wish She is Unhappy (1)
Dong Xin Yan brought a basin of cold water back, only to hear the man on the bed, in a deep sleep, furrow his brows painfully and let out soft whimpers.
His voice was too low, and for a moment, she couldn’t make out what he was saying.
She set the basin of water on the bedside, sat down, then reached out to take the thermometer from Gu Ningyi’s armpit, carefully reading the temperature—it was nearly at forty degrees.
When he collapsed in front of her earlier, to be honest, she was still half-doubtful, afraid he was up to some trick again.
It’s not that she didn’t want to trust him, but he always went back on his word and had deceived her too many times.
If he hadn’t passed out so completely, she wouldn’t have been able to leave him to die, so she slowly walked into the room to help him.
Unexpectedly, he was really very sick...
But with a fever this high, why didn’t he go to the hospital? Holding on stubbornly like this, he’d end up with brain damage. Does he really think he’s Superman or something?
Dong Xin Yan pouted, finding herself a bit amusing.
She only helped him inside out of humanitarianism, the rest was none of her business, so why was she agonizing so much?
She set down the thermometer, soaked the towel in water, wrung it out, folded it, and placed it on Gu Ningyi’s forehead. After doing this, she thought about it, there seemed to be fever-reducing medicine in the villa, brought by the doctor the last time she was sick.
She got up again, left the room, and found the fever-reducing medicine in the living room downstairs, then filled a cup with warm water and brought it upstairs to the bedroom.
She poured two pills into her palm, then sat on the edge of the bed, sliding her other hand under Gu Ningyi’s neck, gently propping his upper body up. His body unintentionally leaned into her arms, his cheek pressed against her neck, the breath he exhaled scalding hot.
Dong Xin Yan’s body grew rigid to the extreme for a moment, wishing she could push him away forcefully.
But she quickly restrained herself.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Forget it, forget it, he’s a patient, she wouldn’t hold it against him!
She tried her best to support his head straight, her voice, though a bit cold, was tinged with a coaxing tone, "Gu Ningyi, time for your medicine, open your mouth."
She originally thought, given Gu Ningyi’s usual bad temper, even when sick as a dog he wouldn’t easily submit, but to her surprise, with just this one sentence, he obediently parted his thin lips.
Dong Xin Yan was momentarily stunned before remembering to feed the pills into his mouth, then lifted the warm water to help him drink.
He drank the water and swallowed the medicine very compliantly, the entire process smooth and continuous.
Dong Xin Yan really didn’t expect this side of him, like a fierce lion suddenly turning gentle. She unconsciously curled her lips.
After feeding him the medicine, she placed Gu Ningyi back on the bed, and just as she was about to get up, her hand was suddenly grasped.
The man’s palm was scalding hot, matching the breath he exhaled, searingly hot. Dong Xin Yan was stunned, reflexively trying to shake off his hand, but he only gripped tighter, like a child holding onto a beloved toy, refusing to let go. And his lips moved slowly, opening and closing, gradually making a sound.
"Don’t go..."
At first, Dong Xin Yan couldn’t make out what he was saying, but after carefully discerning for a while, she finally heard that he was saying don’t go.
