Her personal maid, Qing Tao, came in with a basin of water. When she saw Sun Miaoke sitting in front of her window with a pale face, she quickly put down the basin in her heart and asked anxiously, âMiss Feng, did you not sleep all night?â
âQing Tao, Iâm tired.â After Sun Miaoke finished speaking, she fainted in her arms.
Qing Tao was so frightened that her soul almost flew out; she quickly checked Sun Miaokeâs breathing.
After confirming that she was still alive, Qian Tao heaved a sigh of relief and reached for Sun Miaokeâs forehead. It was frighteningly cold.
After that, she quickly called a maidservant on night duty and asked her to promptly inform the madam.
She then helped Sun Miaoke onto her bed, covered her with a blanket, and began to rub her cold hands.
When Mrs. Sun received the letter, her heart skipped a beat.
Over the past few days, her daughter has kept a low profile. She thought she had thought things through and did not expect that she was just waiting for Yan Zhiwuâs return.
At the thought of this, she was both angry and heartbroken.
Mrs. Sun was angry that her daughter didnât cherish her body but heartbroken because she had to encounter such a thing. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
But no matter what, she immediately called for a doctor and rushed to Sun Miaokeâs small courtyard.
After entering, she looked at Qing Tao, who was rubbing her daughterâs feet with great effort; she asked, âQing Tao, how is she?â
âHer forehead is still cold, but itâs much better.â Qing Tao shook her head.
When Mrs. Sun heard that, she went forward. She saw that Sun Miaokeâs face was abnormally red and immediately touched her forehead.
As expected, she had a high fever.
Mrs. Sun immediately got up and went to the basin to get a cold towel. She placed it on her daughterâs forehead and poured her a glass of warm water.
However, Sun Miaoke didnât open her mouth, so Mrs. Sun couldnât feed her even a single mouthful of water.
When Mrs. Sun saw this, she got anxious. She hugged her daughterâs head and cried, âYou wretched girl, are you trying to take your motherâs life?â
Sun Miaoke started mumbling nonsense after hearing some voices.
However, Mrs. Sun could not hear a single word of what she said clearly. Instead, she heard the phrase âbrother.â
When Mrs. Sun heard that, she cried even harder. She knew without guessing that Sun Miaoke was not referring to her actual biological brother.
However, she took the opportunity to feed her some water with a spoon.
About an hour later, a white-haired doctor finally entered the residence. Mrs. Sun hurriedly stood up and greeted him. âDoctor, my daughter is running a high fever now. Please think of a way quickly to prevent her from falling ill again.â
âLetâs talk about it after I make a diagnosis.â After the doctor finished speaking, he put down his first aid kit and went into the courtyard to give Sun Miaoke a serious checkup.
He soon walked out and said, âLooking at your daughterâs appearance, Iâm afraid thereâs something troubling her mind. If she doesnât get rid of whatâs plaguing her mind, Iâm worried her illness will be difficult to cure.
âAs for her high fever, it was due to a cold.
âFind some high-proof alcohol and get a maidservant to rub her body with it. It should be able to lower her fever.
âIâll give you a few prescriptions later. After sweating it off, her body will be fine. However, I canât do anything about her mental illnesses.â
When Mrs. Sun heard this, she immediately got Qing Tao to get some alcohol.
As for the doctor, he immediately wrote a prescription and asked for someone to boil the medicine. He sat in the outer courtyard and waited for the results.
About an hour later, Sun Miaokeâs high fever finally subsided. Although she still had a fever, it wasnât as life-threatening anymore.
Mrs. Sun finally heaved a sigh of relief and slumped in a chair.
At this time, Grand Scholar Sun walked in. Seeing Mrs. Sun slumping down in a disorderly manner, his heart jolted.
He looked at the doctor and asked, âDoctor, how is my daughterâs illness?â
The doctor stood up, bowed, and repeated his words. âYour daughterâs fever has stabilized for the time being. Take some time and walk her through whatâs plaguing her mind.
âIâll come back in the evening.â
After saying that, the doctor picked up his first-aid kit and walked out..
