7 Fever (1/2)

The next day early in the morning, Deng Lun's parents, Deng Chuan and Bai Jiaqi were having their morning cup of tea as usual. Deng Chuan was reading the newspaper as Bai Jiaqi was looking over the news. It was very peaceful until… PA-Dung!

The sound comes from upstairs... from Dilireba's room.

Deng Chuan looks up from the newspaper and Bai Jiaqi rushed upstairs in a frantic.

” Oh dear!”

When Bai Jiaqi opened the door of Dilireba's bedroom. She was horrified.

”My dear... are you okay?”

Dilireba's upper half body was on the ground while her feet were on the bed and her face flat on the ground.

~2 minutes ago~

Dilireba was in a deep sleep, dreaming of herself on a roller coaster when- Beep Beep Beep

The alarm clock goes off. Dilireba slowly opened her eyes. The things in front of her were very blurry. Her body was numbed and she had a splitting headache. Dilireba sighed and stood up but as she moved forward, she tripped just as she was about to get off the bed and Pa-dung fell face flat towards the floor. Moments after she heard someone coming upstairs…

~End flashback~

Bai Jiaqi felt that something was not right. Dilireba's body was burning, her face was flushed red and she was having trouble breathing. Bai Jiaqi took her temperature. 38 degrees Celsius [109 degrees Fahrentheit]

” Reba?! Stay with me. Someone go get a bit of cold water with a clean cloth and call the cooks to make something warm. Quickly go!”

Dilireba opened her eyes and turned to see Bai Jiaqi come in with a tray of food.

”My dear, you are up? Are you feeling better?”

” Yes, thank you.”

” Haha! No need for the formals, my dear, after all, we are already a family.” Bai Jiaqi said facing Dilireba who had a dazzled look on her face. Although Bai Jiaqi was already 45 years old, she still maintains her youthful appearance. [No wonder Papa have fallen in love with her when they are young…]

Bai Jiaqi smiles and Dilireba noticed that she was staring at her and slowly withdraw her gaze.

Then another footstep came up the stairs in a hurry.

” The mother of my child! Sweetie! Come and take a look at this. This idiotic son of yours is causing trouble again!”

”What happened, darling? Slow down and calm down.”

” How can I calm down?! That bastard is on the newspaper again and may cause trouble to Reba!”

In the office~

Achoo!

Deng Lun sneezed. [Who is talking behind my back? If I found out that person would be tortured by me, no matter who…]

Br-ring Br-ring Br-ring

Deng Lun looks up from the computer and searches for his phone.

He found his phone in his coat.

母亲 was shown on the screen. Deng sighed. And pick up the phone.
