That night, Gu Shaoting didn’t sleep at all, but Shu Pan slept soundly and had a wonderful dream.

It was another beautiful morning. Shu Pan got up to prepare breakfast.

When she opened the door, she saw that Gu Shaoting’s bedroom door was still open, and so was Joy’s.

Shu Pan took a look. Joy wasn’t in the room. Could she be in Gu Shaoting’s room?

She looked at the door and saw Joy lying on the side of Gu Shaoting’s bed, and Gu Shaoting didn’t get up on time like usual.

Joy looked at Gu Shaoting with her eyes wide open.

“Joy, it’s time to brush your teeth and wash your face. Why are you still here?” Shu Pan said to Joy.

“Why isn’t Uncle Gu up yet? I want him to send me to school.” After saying that, Joy climbed onto the bed.

After a while, Joy said in surprise, “Uncle Gu, why is your body so hot?”

Shu Pan’s heart skipped a beat. Gu Shaoting suddenly opened his dark eyes and looked at her, but there was no emotion in his eyes.

She hurriedly went up and touched his forehead. It was shockingly hot. Shocked, she said to him, “You’re probably having a fever. Wait a moment, I’ll go get the thermometer.”

Shu Pan quickly went to get an electronic thermometer that Joy usually uses. After a while, the thermometer gave an alarm. It was 39.5 degrees.

“You have a high fever.” Shu Pan was shocked. How could a healthy and strong person suddenly have a fever?

Only God knew that Gu Shaoting had taken a cold shower yesterday and even stood on the balcony for a while, letting the wind blow on him. No matter how strong his body was, it couldn’t withstand the torment.

It was late autumn now, the season where it was easy to catch a cold.

“Mommy, what should we do? Uncle has a fever. Does he need an injection?” Joy asked worriedly.

“Call the driver to send you two off.” Gu Shaoting spoke with shortness of breath. The fever made him look weak.

“What about you? I’ll take you to the hospital for a check.” Shu Pan frowned. He had always been afraid of seeing a doctor.

“I’ll just rest at home.” Gu Shaoting turned his back on her after he finished speaking.

Shu Pan’s expression turned even more worried. Was this person’s brain fried? He still didn’t want to go to the hospital with such a high fever.

Suddenly, Shu Pan thought of something. She ran out and brought him a glass of warm water and two fever pills.

“Shaoting, get up and take your medicine.” Shu Pan said nicely.

“I don’t want to eat.” The man refused without thinking.

“Don’t be like a child. Hurry up and eat.” When Gu Shaoting threw a tantrum, he was worse than Joy.

“Uncle, are you afraid of taking medicine too? If you don’t take the medicine, you won’t get better. You have to be good. Just pinch your nose and eat it. It won’t be bitter.” Joy said seriously like a little adult. She even crawled beside him and persuaded him.

Gu Shaoting had no choice but to compromise after being bombarded by the mother and daughter.

He slowly sat up and took the medicine from Shu Pan. He took a sip of water and swallowed the medicine.

“Driver uncle will send you to school today. Be good.” “Okay, Mommy, you stay at home and take care of Uncle Gu.” “I…” Shu Pan was wondering if she should take a leave of absence.

“You guys go and get busy. I can take care of myself. I don’t need anyone to accompany me.” Gu Shaoting glanced at Shu Pan, not wanting to put her in a difficult position.

“If the fever doesn’t go down after taking the medicine, I’ll accompany you to the hospital later.” Shu Pan saw that he had taken the medicine and let him lie on the bed, sweating.

Then, she called to apply for leave. She was really worried to leave a sick Gu Shaoting alone at home..
