But the man still didn't make a sound. He walked off and found his shoes, and when he came back, he scooped her up in his arms and made his way towards the road.

“Matthew..."

"Erica!"

“What ?"

Matthew threatened in a cold voice," If you do something like this again, you won't have to jump into the sea. I'll throw you in myself!"

Then he would jump in too, because he couldn't live without her.

"So I did a bad thing. I'm sorry. Stilt angry with me?"

In order to prevent her from doing such a horrible thing again, Matthew nodded and said, "Yes! Just don't do it again. You'll piss me off. And if I get pissed off enough, no one can calm me down!

Except her.

Erica sulked silently. His words stung her heart.

“Achoo!" She had a sneezing attack, expelling the contents of her nose three times in a row.

ALL because she jumped into the sea in Late autumn, Erica caught a cold the first night they spent in Skiyton.

And in the middle of the night, her fever spiked, with a high of 38.5 degrees Celsius.

Standing by the bed, staring at the thermometer, Matthew was speechless.

Erica was pretty healthy. She rarely got sick, taking after her father

Wesley. She was active and energetic.

But today, that was not the case. She had a bad cold, and a fever on top of it.

It wasn't hard to guess why. The sea was cold, she was on her period, so she was more susceptible to disease. Matthew was pretty sure that was what was going on.

He decided to call the hotel's front desk.

"Please call a doctor immediately to Room 2206."

“Okay, Matthew. I'll get on that right now," the receptionist said.

More than ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. Matthew opened the door and saw the hotel manager and a doctor standing outside.

"Matthew, this is Doctor Lambert, the director of department of internal medicine in the military hospital here."

After some simple greetings, Matthew moved aside and said, "Please come in."

Doctor Lambert took Erica's temperature and did some basic examinations. Then he told Matthew, "No need to worry, Matthew, it's just a cold and fever. I'll prescribe some antipyretics for her. If the fever gets bad enough, get her into an ice bath and give us a call."
