Chapter 5: Danger (3)
Morning arrived.
Bright sunlight seemed to fast-forward through the dim dawn, turning dazzlingly bright, almost glaring.
Yu Hong stared blankly at the scene before him, his mind groggy, his body feverishly hot.
He was already weak, and after staying awake all night, his condition had worsened.
Now that the immediate danger seemed to have passed, he finally lost control, collapsing onto his side and lying on the ground.
“Are you okay?” Little Stutterer blew out the candle and was carefully putting it back in the cluttered corner. When She turned around, She saw Yu Hong lying on the ground. Startled, She hurriedly rushed over.
Feeling his burning hot body, she quickly fetched some water, filtered it, and poured it into his mouth in a rush.
After giving him water, she rummaged for medicine. She had acquired some from Dr. Xu and promptly fed it to Yu Hong.
Though Yu Hong was aware of her help, his body was too weak to respond.
