She got up and boiled a kettle of water.
Lin Nuan warmed the cool water from the refrigerator and took a huge sip. It still didn't manage to ease the pain in her throat. Instead, it worsened it, and she felt drowsy.
There wasn't any medicine left at home. She still had to have dinner with Fu Huai'an's friends in the afternoon, and she couldn't go in this condition. Hence she decided to put on a jacket, a cap, and a mask before setting out.
…
As the elevator reached level one and the doors opened, Lin Nuan stood there shocked.
Fu Huai'an was standing outside the elevator in his suit. He was holding onto his phone after a call.
"Why… did you come here?"
Lin Nuan was pleasantly surprised, and she removed the mask. Fu Huai'an could tell her nose was stuffy.
He put his phone in his suit pocket and looked at her reddened nose and cheeks. He slightly furrowed his eyebrows as he placed his hand on her burning forehand.
He could tell her voice was muffled on the phone just now. He decided to take a break from work to rush over since he was concerned about her staying in her rental room on her own.
"I'm alright, I just have a mild cold!" Lin Nuan removed his hand and walked out of the elevator.
"Go to the hospital," Fu Huai'an said firmly.
"There's no need. I don't want to go, it's just a cold. All I need is some medicine…" Lin Nuan smiled as her face reddened because of her fever.
Fu Huai'an held her burning palm in his hand. He took off his suit for her since she wasn't wearing much…
Lin Nuan felt him shelter her with his suit. He grabbed her shoulders and said, "Don't be reckless! Go to the hospital!"
…
Lin Nuan was sitting in the patient room on a drip with a high fever.
Fu Huai'an sat next to Lin Nuan as he replied to Xiao Lu's email on his phone.
Fu Huai'an caught a lot of attention due to his compelling presence.
Even when he was silent like now his presence didn't go unnoticed by other people.
Mature, wealthy, attractive, and fashionable men like him were lethally attractive to women!
Especially now when he was accompanying Lin Nuan in the hospital, the girls with boyfriends or husbands couldn't help but feel envious to have a considerate and sweet boyfriend like him. The single ones couldn't help but notice him a little more.
"If you're busy you can go first, you don't need to accompany me…" Lin Nuan said in a low voice under her mask.
Her stomach growled shamelessly…
Lin Nuan awkwardly put her hand on her stomach.
She fell asleep without eating lunch, and she still didn't have her appetite. Her empty stomach was in pain.
"What do you want to eat?" Fu Huai'an shut his phone and asked.
"Some milk."
Fu Huai'an nodded, put his phone in his pocket, and got up to leave,
He didn't dare to walk too far away in case Lin Nuan needed any help. He went to buy a sandwich and milk in a supermarket next to the hospital and let the manager help warm the milk up.
He smoked a cigarette at the door of the supermarket afterwards.
Within ten minutes, Fu Huai'an brought the milk and sandwich back with the light scent of a cigarette on him.
Fu Huai'an was a heavy smoker normally. It must have been grueling for him to accompany Lin Nuan in the hospital for so long without being able to smoke.
