Chapter 113: High Fever That Refuses To Subside

  She still remembers that he gently kissed her yesterday morning, waking her up and telling her that if she didn't get up, she would be late for school.

  She hid under the quilt and refused to get up, he lifted the quilt and kissed her, sucked on her neck, as if wanting to suck her whole body in, as if wanting to dry her whole body out, with a bit of numbness, with a bit of pain, until she resigned herself to getting out of bed.

  Chen Xing covered her mouth with one hand, not daring to cry out loud. Tears flowed down through the gap between her fingers, and that sexy mouth was now hidden behind an oxygen mask, making it hard to see.

  She regrets it so much.

  "Xiaocheng, wake up, okay? I won't bother you anymore. From now on, if you tell me to shut up, I'll be quiet and listen to you. Please wake up, okay? If you tell me to see a doctor, I'll go see one right away."

  "Shao Cheng, wake up, okay? I won't doubt your motives anymore! I won't doubt that you saved me to get back at Xia Jianqing anymore! I won't ask why you saved me again... No, wait, the last thing you said, I didn't understand it at all. Can you wake up and tell me slowly what those two sentences mean?"

  "I can't see through it, I can't guess it, and I just can't understand!"

  "Xiao Cheng, Gu Xiao Cheng, I don't hate you, I've never hated you. Although you were sometimes bad to me, but in my heart, I still feel grateful to you, grateful for giving me a brand new life, grateful that you can make my grandma's old age worry-free..."

  "Do you know? In this world, the only man who has been so good to me, apart from my father, is you. If you don't wake up, I'll have no one else to rely on. I've already lost my loving parents, can you bear to let me lose you, my only remaining support?

  She sobbed as she spoke: "Do you know? You're the first man who has truly held me in the palm of his hand, making me want to cling to you and depend on you, yet fearing that I'll be cast into hell at any moment."

  Chen Xing didn't even know what he was muttering to himself.

  Some words were incoherent, yet they were all the most sincere words from her heart!

  She is not an ungrateful woman!

  He has been good to her, and it's all remembered in his heart!

  Time, every minute and second is passing by.

  It was extremely long and extremely short.

  Everyone's heart was tightly clenched in the intensive care unit.

  The 3rd hour after surgery:

  "Big brother's fever doesn't seem to be subsiding at all? I feel like the temperature is getting even higher instead? Hua Hua, come and take a look."

  "It seems like it's really gotten even hotter than before, what's going on? Has the anti-inflammatory had no effect at all?"

  The 10th hour after surgery:

  "Why hasn't the fever gone down yet? I can't take it anymore, this is pure torture!"

  "The doctor said it would subside within 24 hours, and there are still 14 hours left. Can you be a little quieter?"

  "How quiet! It's so urgent it's going to kill me!"

  The 15th hour after surgery:

  "It's no use, still no fever reduction. If I wait any longer, I'll collapse first. I'm going to call the doctor over and see if there's a way to reduce the fever."
