Chapter 64 - 64. never again... (2/2)

..............

She stayed there standing by his bed for the whole night. She stood there, watching her life, lying on the bed with a slightly pale face, breathing softly, sleeping soundly.

The figure of the boy she saw in her dreams overlapped with this image for a second, the image of him lying in her arms, lifeless and her aura became chilling, she went close to him, without making a noise and sat beside him.

She gave a small peck on his forehead, ”Don't worry, Xuanxuan. I'll protect you...I'll never let anything of that sort happen to you”, she made a promise.

............

The same morning...

Xuan's fever seemed to spike up for no reason.

Meilin who had sat beside him the whole night was the first to notice it, she saw that he was having a hard time breathing and didn't open his eyes no matter how many times she called for his name.

She felt her life was being drained out of her body, just that night she had promised him to not let anything happen to him and here she was, powerless..but she still had her brain online, she immediately called for the pack of doctors.

Once the call went through the landline her voice became cold and emotionless, nothing like her usual polite tone,” You've got 5 minutes to come to Xuanxuan's room, or wait for the consequences”, rather than the tone of a 9 year, it was more like the voice from the depths of hell, the middle-aged man on the other side, who will go on to become the family doctor, felt shivers down his spine.

”Y-Yes, young miss”, even he wasn't aware that his voice became more respectful, even compared to when he talked with Qin Mo!

He with his team and a doctor who specialized in Chinese-medicine came to the room under 5 minutes.

After a drawn-out check-up of his body and pulse, the doctor gave the conclusion that his health was the same as yesterday, though he was weak it shouldn't be like this, it was probably something psychological...he said that it would be better for him to wake up soon because sometimes the mental stress can detoriate the body way more that physical stress.

Meilin was listening to his words and after he was done she said coldly, ”Do something about it”, it wasn't a request, it was an order.

”It's something I can't do anything about, if he wakes up I'll treat him to the best of my knowledge but I can't start anything with him like this”, the doctor was helpless.

She almost shouted out loud, 'You're a doctor. Why do you think we're paying you?', but she stopped herself, no matter how panicked she was, she can't let her anger out on him, it's unreasonable.

Still, she couldn't keep away the coldness when she said, ”I'll call you when he wakes up.”

The doctor wanted to administer an IV but even in his unconscious state, Xuan had a severe reaction when the cold needle touched his skin, so he had to stop.

Meilin was helpless, she was just a child, she couldn't do anything. Her grandparents were not there, Feng Jiajie was busy too.

She just sat there, watching Xuan who was having REM sleep, he was drenched in sweat, the nightmare she had that day kept repeating in her head.

This was the first time in her life that she felt this hopeless and had an inferirority complex about herself, she couldn't do anything at all...she had to grow up faster, much faster!!
