Chapter 959
“Do I have a fever?”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “Yes, the temperature isn’t particularly high yet. I used my hand to check, and it shouldn’t be at the temperature of the fever medicine. Sigh, I thought that if I ate the medicine earlier, I would be able to suppress the fever, but I still couldn’t.”
Ken Swanson finally felt a little weak. His brain seemed to be tightened by something, and the breath he exhaled was hot like a heat wave.
The most uncomfortable thing was still his throat. The moment he swallowed, he felt a burning pain from being pushed into the thorn bushes.
Ken Swanson smiled bitterly and said, “Looks like I’m destined not to be able to go back and work overtime today.”
Melody Fox glared at him angrily.
“It’s already late, and you’re still thinking about work? It’s fine if it’s just a cold, but you’re having a fever now. If you’re unlucky, it’s easy for you to have a high fever and convulsions… When it happens, your life might be in danger.”
Seeing that she was really angry, Ken Swanson quickly begged for mercy.
“Sorry, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I shouldn’t have said that, Ancestor.”
“Who’s your ancestor? I’m younger than you. Anyway, let me tell you, you’re not allowed to work today. No matter how important the matter is, I won’t let you go back. You should give up as soon as possible.”
Although Aaron Berg, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, was already used to Melody Fox’s attitude when talking to Ken Swanson, he was still worried for her.
Master rarely got angry, but once he did, it was to a level that even a volcanic eruption could not compare to. He was really afraid of being implicated and affected by Master’s anger.
Aaron Berg mustered up the courage to secretly look at the rearview mirror. When he saw that not only was his master not angry, but he was even smiling inwardly, his nervous heart finally relaxed.
“Got it. I’ve given up. Let’s go back to the hotel. I want some hot water.”
“Okay. Don’t move. I’ll get out of the car first and help you down later.”
“It’s not that bad.”
In the end, Ken Swanson got out of the car by himself.
As soon as he stabilized himself, he felt dizzy.
Melody Fox quickly supported him.
“Is everything all right?”
“I’m fine. I’m just a little dizzy…”
“Then don’t force yourself. I’ll help you up.”
To be safe, she and Aaron Berg helped Ken Swanson into the elevator. Ken Swanson did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“You two are paralyzing me.”
Melody Fox frowned. “You have to be careful when you walk now.”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
The car was parked in the hotel’s underground garage. After entering the elevator, they quickly arrived at the hotel suite.
After Ken Swanson lay down on the bed, Melody Fox heaved a sigh of relief and instructed Aaron Berg, “Where are the fever patches and thermometer that I asked you to buy?”
“Here.”
Aaron Berg quickly handed the bag containing the medical items to Melody Fox and asked her carefully, “Miss Fox, do you want me to go straight to the hospital to get an IV drip?”
“You don’t have to go to the hospital immediately if you have a fever. It’s best to rely on your body to heal yourself. Otherwise, if this continues, your body’s resistance to drugs will increase. In the future, it won’t be easy to treat any serious illnesses.”
Aaron Berg nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
“Well, go boil some water. I’m here.”
“Yes.”
As the two of them spoke, Ken Swanson seemed to have fallen asleep with his eyes closed.
Aaron Berg didn’t dare to disturb him and went to the living room outside the bedroom to boil water.
Fortunately, although this hotel was not particularly high-class, this suite was still not bad. There was even a bar, making it very convenient to boil water.
In the bedroom, Melody Fox unbuttoned Ken Swanson’s shirt.
Just as she was about to untie the first one, her hand was grabbed by Ken Swanson. Melody Fox was so frightened that she almost cried out in surprise.
“Weren’t you asleep just now?”
She let out a long breath and said, “I’m going to die of shock if you suddenly grab my hand like that.”
Ken Swanson raised his eyebrows and said, “I don’t see you so worried. You’re doing something wrong, so you’re scared, right?”
Melody Fox glared at him and shook the thermometer in her hand. “What nonsense are you talking about? Aaron Berg only bought this mercury thermometer, so I plan to unbutton your clothes and place it under your armpit to measure your temperature… You’re already sick. What nonsense are you thinking about?”
Ken Swanson’s lips curved. “Am I not allowed to think nonsense when I’m sick?”
In fact, he did this purely to make Melody Fox pay more attention so that she wouldn’t worry too much about him.
He heard that her mood would affect her health. He didn’t want her to damage her body because she was worried about him.
Melody Fox did not think of this. She only thought that Ken Swanson was still having a fever.
She glared at him again and said, “Take your temperature and measure it yourself! Hurry up!”
Ken Swanson took it helplessly and sweetly.
He vaguely remembered that in the past, when he was sick and had a fever, he had to rely on himself to withstand it. He didn’t care how high his fever was.
This might be the first time he had come into contact with a thermometer since he became an adult.
The thermometer was tucked under his arm. Although it felt cold to the touch, his heart felt warm.
About five minutes later, Ken Swanson took out the thermometer.
“What do you think of this thermometer?”
Melody Fox took it over and turned the thermometer to look at the scale. She complained, “To think that you graduated from the world’s top school. You don’t even know how to look at the thermometer.”
As she spoke, Melody Fox’s expression darkened.
“What’s wrong?” Ken Swanson asked.
She put down the thermometer and said, “It’s only been a while, but the fever has already reached 102 °F3. Don’t you feel uncomfortable?”
“It’s no different from before. I just feel weak all over and my heart is beating very fast. Moreover, I feel a little cold.” “A little cold means that the temperature will continue to rise. Do you have any other symptoms? Tell me.”
“My nose is stuffed, and my throat hurts as if it was cut by a knife. Also, all the bones in my body seem to be starting to hurt.”
“Open your mouth and let me see.”
Ken Swanson was a little embarrassed. In the end, Melody forced him to open his mouth and stick out his tongue. Only then did he do as he was told.
“The high fever is mainly caused by inflammation of the throat. I’ll give you a fever medicine first and see if it can be removed. If it can’t be removed, you’ll have to go to the hospital for an IV drip.”
Ken Swanson was feeling uncomfortable now.
His throat hurt so much that he didn’t even want to say anything. He only nodded, indicating that he would listen to her.
Coincidentally, Aaron Berg had boiled hot water. He did not dare to enter the bedroom rashly, so he only spoke outside the door.
“Miss Fox, the water is ready. Leave it at the door. I’ll stand guard outside the suite. Call me if you need anything.” “Got it.”
The footsteps quickly faded away. Melody Fox took some hot water and gave Ken Swanson a few sips. She also fed Ken Swanson some fever medicine. She pasted a fever patch on Ken Swanson and checked the temperature of his forehead every few minutes to feed him a few mouthfuls of hot water.
It could be said that no matter how big or small the matter was, she could not be more considerate.
Ken Swanson saw this and was touched.
In the past, who had taken care of him so meticulously?
It was good to have a wife. He finally had someone to take care of and dote on.
