I coughed desperately and barely opened my eyes. I saw a familiar face in front of me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It may be Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I pushed the man and heard him in my ear saying, “are you awake? I’ll help you drink water.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I shook my head. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He added, “the doctor says you have a bad fever. You need to drink hot water. Get up or I’ll feed you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The man’s words made me more worried. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I lay there with my eyes closed. “No, you’ll get infected.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
No one fed water like this. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Even if I’m infected, I just want you to recover.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I closed my eyes, but I could feel the man’s smile when he spoke. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean didn’t care for people at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sometimes I was awake, and sometimes I was dizzy. But I could feel him by my bed. He would touch my head and my hand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He would cover me and change my ice towel. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Of course, he would feed me water with his mouth. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Later, a doctor brought a shelf and gave me an injection. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I gradually regained consciousness. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I opened my eyes and saw Sean sitting by the bed. He put his laptop on his lap. He seemed to be sending an email. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The sunshine outside was light gold. It seemed to be evening. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It seemed that I had a fever and slept all day. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I saw him, he just turned to see me. When he saw that I woke up, the joy in his eyes was very obvious. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He got up and asked me, “are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you have any discomfort?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What’s the matter? I’ll call the doctor.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What’s the matter?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t speak and looked at Sean. There was some anxiety in his eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He put the computer aside and looked at me. “Are you hungry? I’ll have the chef bring some porridge.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I nodded. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was hungry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hadn’t eaten all day. I was so hungry now that I couldn’t even speak. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean called the kitchen. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When he was waiting for porridge, he kept asking me if I was uncomfortable, hot or cold. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was hungry and uncomfortable and had little strength to answer him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean was getting anxious again. He began to talk to himself and complained that the cooks were too inefficient here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him and was in a trance for a moment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Did this man really care about me? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this moment, he seemed to be really worried about me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this time, someone knocked at the door. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean thought someone was coming to serve porridge. He opened the door and said, “you’re too slow.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But when the door opened, I heard him say awkwardly, “you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked up and saw Linda. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda looked inside. “I’m sorry, President Jessop. I didn’t know you are here. I’ll leave first.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought Sean would let her go. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I heard Sean say, “no, I’m going to the kitchen. You can accompany her.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, he left in a hurry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda stood at the door. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You said he doesn’t like you?” As Linda walked in, she said, “you didn’t have lunch and I didn’t see you in the afternoon, so I come to see you. I didn’t expect you had a fever. Sorry, I took a bath too long yesterday.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Yesterday I asked Linda to take a bath first. To be honest, she took a bath for a long time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I didn’t expect to have a fever. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” I replied. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda came up to me and reached for my forehead. She frowned. “Your forehead is very hot. I have antipyretics. I’ll bring it to you later.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I shook my head. “I took the medicine and I had the injection.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this point, the door opened again and Sean was standing at the door. He was followed by a waiter carrying a small insulated lunch box. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The waiter put the lunch box on the table and left quickly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I watched Sean open the lunch box. He filled a bowl of porridge and came to me with a spoon. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, let me do it.” Linda stood up immediately and took the initiative to do it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” Sean shook his head. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He sat by my bed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He scooped a spoonful of porridge and blew it cold. He tried the temperature with his lips and held it to my mouth. His black eyes were full of tenderness. He said in a soft voice, “it’s not hot. Drink it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was like he was coaxing a little kid. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him and my mood was complicated. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean was usually proud but he was feeding me porridge at this time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He really seemed very approachable. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What’s the matter?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t open my mouth so Sean took the spoon back. He tasted it. “Is it hot?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I shook my head. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He put the spoon to my mouth again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took a sip. He filled another spoon and continued to blow. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He continued to feed me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I ate for a long time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I returned to my mind, I noticed that Linda had not left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She stood behind Sean and kept looking at us. To be precise, she looked at Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda was a very gentle woman. Her long black hair even looked old-fashioned. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Such a woman was always introverted and didn’t show her feelings easily. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But at this moment, I could see Linda’s eyes at a glance. She had been staring at Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But she didn’t notice that I was looking at her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean found out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looked back and saw Linda was still there. “Go back first. Thank you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ah…” Linda just came to her senses. “My pleasure.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, she turned and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw her blush as she spoke. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean didn’t notice it. He seemed to care only about me. He turned and continued to feed me porridge. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I recovered a little so I put my hand out of the quilt. “I’ll do it myself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s attitude was surprisingly tough at the moment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m hungry. I drink faster myself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was an excuse and a truth. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean had always been taken care of. He didn’t take care of others. When he fed me porridge just now, every spoon of porridge was very little. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean handed me the bowl and I had two bowls of porridge myself. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I drank some water and took some medicine. I was better. After I got out of bed and washed, I retreated to bed because of the cold. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maybe because I took cold medicine, I fell asleep soon. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But the fever made me feel colder and colder. I felt strong arms around me and dispel my cold. My temperature was recovering a little bit. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could feel a man holding me tenderly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This tenderness made me think of only one person. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Daniell.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I mumbled. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
