Chapter 700: Side Story 3. Stellar Blossom - 35
It was midnight when Radia got the call, and he ran straight from the annex without even grabbing his coat or thinking about using his summon’s portal.
When he arrived, Han Shin was already there since he slept in the main mansion, and Joon was no longer thrashing around. His temperature was still high, however, and he was breathing heavily.
"Nothing changed through healing," Han Shin shook his head. "But he got calmer after we put a cold cloth over his forehead."
"Seeing it like this, it looks just like regular fever," Laurel said, stroking Radia’s back. "Almost like how you were when you were teething."
"Or when you had those growing pains in your puberty," Calix added.
"It doesn’t seem like anything serious, right?" Han Shin looked up in worry. "He won’t relapse or anything, right?"
Radia took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a second to calm down his racing heart. "You’re the healer, Shin. Do you see his organs going haywire?"
"Well...no."
Radia took a seat on the bed and stroked the writhing face. Rather than in pain, it looked more like Joon was having a nasty dream. "At least he’s not cold," he said in relief. In fact, Joon’s skin was rather scalding. "Let’s treat it like a common fever. If he’s still like this in the morning, we’ll bring him to the hospital."
"I think we should go to the hospital regardless of his condition tomorrow, just to make sure," Calix said. "I’ll call the doctor to make an appointment."
The fever lasted until dawn, and while he told the others to go back to sleep, Radia clumsily nursed Han Joon with Badri’s help. When Joon finally stopped mumbling and became more warm than scalding, they changed his clothes and moved him to the other side of the bed.
