Chapter 80 - Taking Care Of Ansgar

Ansgar who had opened his eyes realized he was inside a hut so he tried to move and it was then that he realized that he had no strength, however, that did not stop him from sighing in relief.

Since he knew he was safe in Felipa's clinic or even somewhere in charge of Kassia.

Although he was sure that he was safe, he could not understand what he had seen and who was that girl that his friend called Erika.

He had so many questions to ask himself, but unfortunately, his eyes closed as his tired body forced him to sleep.

After a few minutes, Max entered the room carrying a metal container that had some linen fabrics inside that were damp.

He would use them on Ansgar because he was suffering from a fever and if the heat was not treated he could die.

After sitting next to Ansgar, Max set up a night watch, as he was afraid that if he left him alone, he would simply die.

During the night Max reduced Ansgar's fever, so from that moment he decided to take temporary breaks as well as check Ansgar's pressure and write everything he saw on a sheet of paper.

In the morning, Max, who had large dark circles, was relieved by Felipa, who only saw how Einar stopped at the door of the room.

"Felipa, please take Ansgar's pulse and keep him warm. If something happens, don't hesitate to wake me up.

I think I'll just have a light breakfast and then go to sleep. "

When she saw Einar leave the room, Felipa sat next to Ansgar, took his hand, and putting her two fingers on Ansgar's wrist, pressed them lightly as she felt the blood pumping.

Using the fingers of the hand that was free, she counted to ten, while in her mind she remembered the number of pulses she had felt.

When she finished, she used the sheet of paper that Einar had left and wrote the number of keystrokes and added it 6 times, since she had not yet mastered the multiplication method that Einar taught him.

"According to the numbers that Einar wrote, your blood pressure is a bit high, although compared to the heart rate you had at night you have had a significant improvement, now you just need to rest."

On the other hand, in the small dining room of Felipa's house, Kassia was serving a plate of wheat porridge to Einar.

"I know you have been taking care of the wheat for us Einar, but I consider that at this moment you need it more."

Einar who felt Kassia's affection just nodded and started eating the boiled wheat from that plate.

"By the way Einar, do you think Ansgar is out of danger already, or will we need to take care of him for a few more days?"

Einar who was enjoying the taste of wheat stopped for a moment and looked seriously at Kassia.

"It is somewhat complicated that I can give you an answer, but I think that perhaps today he can get out of the dangerous zone in which it is.

If he can wake up today, it will only take a few days before he can get his body back, anyway I think it would be a good idea if he can see his wife.

That will give him more reasons to cling to life. Just remember that before entering the room she must take a bath, wear clean clothes washed with soap and a cloth that covers her mouth.

Because we can't risk Ansgar making his illness worse. "

When he finished speaking, he took his plate of food and after a few bites, he finished with the contents.

After this Einar said goodbye to Kassia and went to his bed because he had to rest, Kassia only showed a satisfied smile and cleaned the table because he had to go to Ansgar's house to look for his wife.

In a small hut on the outskirts of town, a woman with blond hair and braids was crying while preparing breakfast.

For although she knew there was a strong possibility that her husband Ansgar had died, she hoped that he was still alive.

However, all her thoughts only caused her to be unable to control her emotions.

When she had finished preparing food and was about to wake her two young children, she heard a noise coming from her door.

So walking slowly, she went to the door because she did not understand who was looking for her.

Kassia who was waiting outside the hut was surprised when the door opened and she could see the gaunt face of Ansgar's wife.

"Kassia what a surprise to see you in my humble abode, tell me if there is anything I could help you with"

Kassia took a deep breath and took the gaunt woman in her hand.

"Yesterday we found your husband, it's just that we couldn't tell you the news because we didn't know if he would survive the night, but it was thanks to Einar that he is feeling a little better today."

So I have come to ask you to accompany me because if you are present, maybe he can recover sooner.

But before you can see it, you will have to take a bath as Ansgar's condition is delicate and he could get worse sick if your body is dirty, you will also have to… "

Ansgar's wife no longer paid attention to Kassia as tears caused by happiness made her unable to pay attention.

Kassia, who had already finished speaking, noticed the woman's condition, so she only tried to comfort her as best she could.

After crying a little, the woman calmed down and started talking to Kassia while she woke up her little children since she could not leave them alone in the hut.

When they arrived at Felipa's house, Kassia with the help of Helmi was in charge of entertaining the little children.

While Teresia took a bath in the hot springs trying to clean her entire body because she had that due to her negligence something could happen to her husband.

Once he felt his body was completely clean, he got up from the hot springs and got ready to change his clothes.

Felipa, who was taking care of Ansgar, noticed that he was making some faces on his face as if he had a nightmare.

So he put his hand on Ansgar's forehead, "Ansgar I don't know if you are listening to me but you must know that you are having a nightmare, so try to stay calm.

Since you are very weak and you will only put your body under stress if you hold on to that nightmare. "

It was at that moment that Ansgar, who was making some faces, calmed down as if somehow Felipa's words had influenced him.

When Felipa was about to say a few words, the door to the room opened and it was then that Kassia entered, accompanied by Teresia.

Who brought some linen clothes that covered her body and a piece of cloth that looked like a scarf that covered half her face.

When Teresia saw Ansgar's sleeping body, she could barely contain her desire to run and hug him, but she knew that doing so could put him at risk.

"Daughter, you should take a brief break while I accompany Ansgar's wife, Teresia."

Felipa who did not understand why her mother had brought Ansgar's wife could only nod and left the room.

As the two women were alone, Kassia showed to Teresia that she would sit next to Ansgar, "When you are sitting next to him, hold his hand carefully or carefully touch his forehead.

Also say a few words to him because if you can get him to wake up, his chances of survival increase. "

Teresia blindly obeying sat next to Ansgar and using her hands stroked his forehead.

"Ansgar, I hope you are listening to my voice, but if you do please try to open your eyes.

You have to do it because otherwise, you would be in danger and I don't want to see you die this way.

You've come so far as to give up right now. "

Holding back her tears as best she could, Teresia continued squeezing Ansgar's hand and continued speaking to him throughout the rest of the morning.

In the afternoon, Teresia, who was already quite tired of talking with Ansgar, began to close her eyes.

Well, she wanted to take a little more rest, however to her surprise she could feel how her husband's hand began to move as if in a desperate attempt he was trying to prevent his hand from leaving him.

This made Teresia get up from her chair and looked at Kassia with a happy face.

"He just moved Kassia."

Kassia quickly opened the door to the room "Felipa! Bring some Porridge and water for Ansgar, wake up Einar too."

Ansgar slowly opened his eyes and he could feel his throat completely dry, so in a desperate attempt, he parted his dry lips.

"Wat... Water"

Teresia, who heard her husband's raspy voice, took a jug that had water in it, and with the help of Einar they sat him down so they could give him water.

Ansgar began to drink the water as if it was the most delicious thing he has ever tasted. It is just that he was not careful so he almost choked from not drinking calmly.

At that moment Einar patted him on the back "Drink calmly Ansgar, also if you are hungry your wife can give you some porridge.

Either way, if you need something I'll be by your side so don't hesitate to ask. "

Ansgar just nodded and relaxed a little, knowing that once he recovered he would have to report everything that had happened.
