Chapter 210 - He Called For Another Woman During High Fever (2/2)
She observed the four walls of the cave, then she lowered her head to look at the man on her leg.
It was clear he wasn’t sleeping well. His straight eyebrows were scrunched together tightly and he looked like something was troubling him.
This was somewhat hard to believe. The man was so domineering and could get whatever he wanted. What would trouble him?
Nan Zhi did not know how, but somehow, the exhaustion finally overwhelmed her and fell asleep while staring at him.
A low and hoa.r.s.e shout disrupted the peaceful silence and pulled her to consciousness. Opening her eyes immediately, she lowered her head and look at the man.
An unnatural flush appeared on the man’s handsome face.
Nan Zhi reached out and touched his forehead.
It was alarming hot.
It was probably above 50 degrees.
Not good. What could she do?
Nan Zhi was very worried. She thought that he would be fine once his temperature went back to normal.
She did not think that he would get a high fever.
Just as she was about to wake him, she heard his hoa.r.s.e voice call out again. “Xue’er…”
Nan Zhi’s pupils constricted hard when she heard what he said.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something. However, she found a fiery pain and spikes in her throat.
She could not say anything.
“Xue’er, I’m sorry. Don’t leave…”
“I only care about you, Xue’er…”
Nan Zhi’s blood turned cold.
It was cold enough that even her blood vessels turned completely frozen and stiff.
When she touched his forehead, his temperature was very high. Like a whip burned in fire, it burned her skin and heart.
She stared at him as her face turned pale at his words.
She had always thought that she did not care. She would not let herself care.
However, her heart seemed to be p.r.i.c.ked by a million sharp thorns when she heard his affectionate and pained shout. In the beginning, she only felt a little bit of pain. However, this numbing pain slowly spread all over and it was only then that she realized. It was so painful.
