Chapter 3: Fever

704 Words
Chapter 3: Fever Since they got back to the Ji family covered in mud, Ji Aier was still scolded severely by the butler. He even said that it was precisely because she was so ill-mannered that her parents had abandoned her at the orphanage. Coupled with the shock in the afternoon, Ji Aier fell ill that night. Starting from midnight, she had a fever and talked in her sleep. When Ji Aier vaguely felt someone holding her hand and calling her, she struggled to open her eyes with all her might and saw a face that was too familiar. She tried her best to struggle and sit up. She wondered when Ji En had come to her room and why she hadn't been conscious of it at all. "Don't move! Your face is so red." Ji En touched Ji Aier's face and then realized that Ji Aier had a high fever. "I'm okay!" Ji Aier still struggled to sit up because she didn't know what Ji En was going to do. Usually, she had to wait until he fell asleep before she could go back to her own room and sleep peacefully. Otherwise, he would surely find various reasons to bother her and prevent her from falling asleep. And today, Ji Aier didn't know why she fell asleep as soon as she lay in bed and felt more and more uncomfortable as she slept. "I'll call the doctor. You're sick." Ji En ran out to make a phone call. Moreover, his voice was so loud that it woke up everyone sleeping in the whole house. Everyone got up in a panic to see what was going on. What was even more unbelievable was that Ji En not only called the Ji family's private doctor but also an ambulance. He thought she was about to die or something. Anyway, Ji Aier really seemed to be seriously ill because everything in her room seemed to be spinning. Later, after the doctor gave Ji Aier an IV drip, she cried bitterly. At that moment, she really missed her parents in heaven. If they were by her side, they would surely love and take care of her. They would never let her be so lonely and helpless. "So fragile, crying just like this!" Hearing Ji En's disdainful voice at the door, Ji Aier saw him leaning against the door frame, looking at her. Ji Aier didn't want to say anything to him, nor did she expect this young master who had been coddled since childhood to have any sympathy or pity for someone of her status. Ji Aier withdrew her gaze and tried hard to stop the tears from falling. "Stop crying. I won't bully you tomorrow." Seeing her meek look when she was wronged and didn't fight back, Ji En felt a little sad. He walked over and reached out to wipe the tears from Ji Aier's face. Ji Aier was startled and instinctively dodged because she felt as if there was electricity in his hand. "I'm not crying." Ji Aier said stubbornly. She felt that she absolutely couldn't cry in front of Ji En, otherwise he would surely use this as an excuse to tease her as a crybaby from then on. He had never had a tender heart for women. "I'm going to sleep! You don't need to accompany me to school tomorrow. Stay at home and sleep well." After saying that, Ji En walked out and closed the door. At that moment, Ji Aier almost had the illusion that Ji En could also be nice to people. The next day after school, as soon as Ji En got home, he rushed into Ji Aier's room. He really couldn't get used to the days without her following him around. "You still have to accompany me to class tomorrow. I'm not used to having no one carry my schoolbag for me." This was Ji En's way of expressing himself. Every time he faced Ji Aier, he could only express what he wanted to say in a very poor way. At that moment, Ji Aier really wanted to beat him up. Because before this, she actually thought Ji En was quite nice. It was completely her illusion.
