As soon as Lin Che got in the car, she fell unconscious into Gu Jingze's arms.
Lin Che had no clue why she was suddenly so weak, but Gu Jingze attributed it to her old injuries that had not fully healed.
Even though her injuries were healed on the outside, she lost a lot of blood during that time. It must have certainly made her weak until now.
Gu Jingze carried her back home and put her down on the bed. His eyes grew darker as he looked at her chapped lips and slight frown.
Damned woman... always getting herself into trouble.
He reached his hand out and brushed her forehead lightly.
Feeling slightly better, her frown dissipated.
Just as Gu Jingze was about to walk away, he felt her hand faintly grabbing his finger. He looked deeply at her pale face and decided to stay. Her teeth chattered, indicating that she was cold. He placed the back of his hand on her forehead. It was boiling hot. He thought for a while before lifting the blanket and laying beside her.
He remembered how he had a high fever when he was a child. His whole body was hot and cold, and his hands and feet were like ice. His mother would do the same, holding his limbs until they warmed up and his fever subsided.
He hugged her tightly and held her close in his embrace.
He reached out for the bell at the bedside and called for a maid.
"Call for Chen Yucheng."
Doctor Chen soon arrived.
The maid said, "Madam must have fallen sick."
Chen Yucheng muttered, "Since when did he let me see other patients?"
He was an internationally-renowned doctor. He was later found by the Gu family. During his research, he was only allowed to be Gu Jingze's personal doctor. For many years, if there was no research needed, he did not see anyone else.
Chen Yucheng opened the door to see Gu Jingze lying on his bed. In his arms, a girl was silently curled up just like a kitten.
"Sorry, sorry. I didn't know you guys were..." Chen Yucheng hastily closed the door.
Inside, Gu Jingze's face was dark.
"Come in," he called at the door.
Chen Yucheng thought about it, That was not it. They appeared to be fully clothed. Thus, when he heard Gu Jingze call for him, he opened the door again.
Gu Jingze looked carefully at the girl in his arms and said, "For some reason, she got a fever."
After just one night at the police station, she fainted upon returning home. He did not know what happened to her.
Chen Yucheng saw how serious Gu Jingze was and quickly went over to take a look.
After checking, Chen Yucheng said helplessly, "Mr. Gu. Your wife has the common cold."
"..." Gu Jingze asked, "Just a cold?"
"Indeed. A fever, a blocked air passage, and an inflamed throat. These are obvious symptoms of the common cold."
Gu Jingze relaxed a little and replied, "You may go."
Chen Yucheng was speechless. He was urgently called over. But after he found that it was just a cold, he was being chased out?
"Sir, there are many general practitioners around. Maybe you can call them next time."
