Chapter 43 (2/2)
Qiu Yu points powerlessly for Bai Song. He walks towards the direction and after a short search, he finds the thermometer. Despite being impoverished, they did purchase some small items.
Bai Song opens Qiu Yu’s sleepwear and places the thermometer under her arm. During the process, he rubs slightly against a smooth and tender part, but Bai Song does not have those thoughts.
Bai Song looks at the time, around 8 minutes have pa.s.sed. Bai Song removes the thermometer and takes a look at the reading: 38°.
For an adult temperature to be around 38°, there is no need for injections, just taking some medication will be fine.
”Your temperature is 38°, do you want to take an injection? You will recover very quickly after the injection.” Bai Song tries and ask.
Qiu Yu shakes her head and rolls her eyes at Bai Song. ”It is not like you do not know that I am afraid of pain since young.”
”Okay then, finish eating the noodles, I will go downstairs and buy some fever medication for you.” After Qiu Yu mentions it, Bai Song faintly remembers Qiu Yu mentioning that she is afraid of pain in the past.
As Bai Song feeds Qiu Yu another mouthful of noodles, she shakes her head and her long hair smacks into Bai Song's face.
”Husband, this I don’t want to eat anymore.” Seeing that their daughter is not around, Qiu Yu makes a small fuss.
When there is no one to rely on, a woman can be tougher than an iron-bone man. When a woman has a shoulder to lean on, she will become like water, soft and gently.
Bai Song helplessly puts down the bowl on the table and puts on his sandals. He reminds Qiu Yu to call her company and apply for leave, as well as rest properly, so on and so forth before leaving the house.
Bai Song walks to the clinic nearby, the clinic is neither small nor big, it has two store fronts, and its reputation in this district is quite good.
“Dr. Duan, I would like to get some cold medication.” Bai Song walks in, the Dr. Duan he is calling is the main doctor in this clinic whose reputation is good.
Doctor Duan’s actual name is Duan Guo Shen, he looks around 30+ years old, but those who know him know that he is currently 40 years old.
”What is your sickness?” Duan Guo Shen has heard of Bai Song's reputation before, after all, he is also from this district, thus he knows that he is an unreasonable person.
As a doctor he has a parent's heart, thus regardless of baby or anybody, Duan Guo Shen always treats them all the same. This is the reason why everyone respects him a lot.
”I am not sick, it is my wife. She has a slight fever. When I took her temperature, it was 38°” Bai Song replies.
”Ah, then I will prescribe you with some fever medication and it should be fine.” Having finished saying this, Duan Guo Shen takes a few bottle of medication and packs 4 packs of medication. ”Take 3 packs, one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one at night. After consuming 3 pack if she is still unwell, then let her take the 4th pack. If she is well by then, then there is no need to take the 4th pack.”
”Thank you, Dr. Duan, how much will it be?” Bai Song feels his pocket.
”15 dollars.” Duan Guo Shen says the amount.
Bai Song paid the money and says ”Sorry for disturbing you” before leaving. Selling medication has always been a profitable job, if it was from other places, they would ask for 30 dollars.
That is still considered kind-hearted. It is rumoured that there is a person being charged over a thousand dollars just for his cold.
When Bai Song returns home, he prepares water and the medication for Qiu Yu. This time round, Qiu Yu has recovered a bit of strength and is able to take her medication herself.
After she has placed the cup at her side, it is noon. Bai Song finally rests beside Qiu Yu.
After he wakes up, not only does he need to take care of his wife, he also has to complete the promise he made with Spectral Fire. When Bai Song thinks about all of them, he feels a little exhausted. After a while, he finally falls asleep.
