Chapter 785. Weird Things
Mauve lay in bed with the physician a little too close for comfort, but he was checking her temperature and other things. Mauve wasn’t sure what, but by the look on his face, he wasn’t very pleased.
Jael was in the room, right behind Ferguson, with an even worse look on his face. He couldn’t see the physician’s face, but he had that look even before Ferguson started to check Mauve. As soon as Ferguson had walked into the room stating his intentions, Jael immediately had a displeased look on his face, which Mauve found funny as they had discussed this prior.
After the meal was over, Ferguson had stated his intentions to check her well-being through Mill, and when Mauve heard it, she had agreed. He had made sure to give her some time to rest after the meal before he showed up.
She had hoped Jael would have gone to attend his daily duties by then, but as soon as Mill had relayed the information, he suddenly had nothing on his schedule, and here he was, bearing over the old man. But Ferguson was too engrossed to be bothered by Jael’s presence.
"Is something wrong?" Mauve said when she couldn’t take it anymore.
He kept checking her pulse and temperature over and over again, and each time, his expression only got worse. However, he didn’t say a word, and this bothered Mauve even more.
"What do you mean?" Jael asked in a loud voice.
Ferguson seemed to snap out of it, and he pulled back. "Well," he started. "Her temperature is high, high enough to be a fever, and her pulse is weird. A lot of things seem weird."
"Oh, the temperature is normal," Mauve replied. She wasn’t too sure about the pulse thing; she hadn’t really noticed.
