Chapter 633 The Most Handsome Man In The World (1/2)
Once the sound of Emily's sweet and gentle voice entered Sean's ears, he couldn't turn her down anymore and fed her another bowl of food, even though he knew that Emily had had enough.
The soft glimmer of Emily's lucid and innocent eyes were like limpid lakes. Like an innocent child, who didn't understand the concept of being mature, Emily crammed all the food in her mouth, surrendering herself to her appetite and desires without a second thought.
At night, however, she finally paid the price for her greed and lack of self-control.
She was burning with fever, radiating heat like a brick right out of the oven and raving in delirium.
Emily mumbled random words in her sleep which led Sean to believe that something was seriously wrong with her. Put on alert by Emily's behavior, Sean got off the bed quickly and ran to figure out what had happened to her. As a doctor himself, Sean was confident that he could diagnose the problem, but his confidence wasn't enough to give him full assurance.
He touched Emily's forehead with the back of his hand to read her temperature and concluded that the situation would need extra care. He strongly regretted having fed her too much food. He shouldn't have given into her so easily.
”Hm...” Emily heaved in pain. She was curling up on the bed, groaning in extreme discomfort.
Deep down, Sean was panicking, but he forced himself to calm his nerves. He put a cold wet towel on Emily's forehead and then went to fetch antipyretics for her. After helping her take the medicine, he sat by the bed and watched her closely in case the fever got worse.
Fortunately, it seemed as though the medicine had worked, and soon Emily's fever died down. Her breathing had stabilized and she fell back into peaceful sleep.
Meanwhile, Sean tenderly watched her sleep and kept her company all night. Soon, twilight melted away and slivers of sunlight peeped through the drawn blinds, casting thin golden stripes across her angelic face.
Emily opened her eyes drowsily and noticed Sean's tired face. ”Hmmm...” Emily wore a puzzled expression.
Although, the dark circles under Sean's weary eyes indicated his dire need for sleep, he was delighted to see Emily wake up. He peered into her with eyes full of affection and gave her a big smile.
”You're finally awake. Do you feel better now?” Sean asked with concern with the combination of body language. He said slowly so that Emily could understand. Emily had difficulty in language communications and could only speak some easy words, so Sean tried to communicate with her in language so as to improve her language skills.
”Oh, thank God, your temperature is back to normal again.” Sean murmured to himself as he read her temperature again.
