Emmett sat up with a jerk and quickly looked at Elaine who was sleeping on the sickbed.
He sighed softly again when he noticed she was still sound asleep with a frown, her ruby lips pouting.
She didn't wake up....
Turning around, he saw Kayden was holding a blanket with a stupefied look, asking in a hoarse voice.
"It was you? What time is it?"
Kayden choked, "Master Smith, it's already past three in the morning. You can't sleep like this. You'll
catch a cold. It must not feel good."
"You were tuckered out yesterday. Why don't you lie down on the bed beside this one? I'll watch over
Ms. Jones for you."
Emmett knitted his brows, stood up, bent down, and leaned closer to Elaine's face. Then he rubbed his
forehead against hers. It was still hot, at least 38 degrees Celsius.
"Why is she still burning up? I'm really worried!"
Emmett murmured anxiously, "Tonight is critical. If her fever goes down, she will be fine. But she still
feels hot.... How can I leave her side to take a nap?"
"Please have a rest. I'll take over. It is going to be okay."
Emmett shook his head firmly.
"You go. I have to stay with her."
Getting Emmett to take a rest was like pulling teeth, so Kayden gave up after giving it another go.
"I regret this."
Standing outside the door of the ward, Kayden mumbled to his men still peeping in.
"What is it?"
"I realize I shouldn't have gone in to put the blanket on him. Now he has woken up and is determined to
stay awake the whole night. Why did I do that? I hate myself."
His men sighed drooping their heads. "Yes, Master Smith really loves this woman. He has done so
much for her. What did she do in her previous life?"
"Such a troublemaker."
Kayden curled his lips and sighed.
To him, Elaine was a professional troublemaker pretending to be kind and cute.
...
Although she had caused a lot of trouble, she never meant it. When you told her off, she would look at
you with puppy eyes, making you look like the bad guy.
In a nutshell, she was the trickiest type, because she never needed to own up to her mistakes.
Emmett was trying to stay sharp, checking Elaine's temperature from time to time.
She was still running a fever!
It was not going down.
She was given a shot, but it didn't work.
If this continued, her internal organs would fail as the doctor said.
Emmett lost his patience and called the doctor over and over again. The doctor tried many ways to
bring down her fever, but nothing helped.
At five o'clock in the morning, Emmett's face was green from anxiety.
"What kind of doctor are you? You're so stupid! You can't even bring down her fever! Are you a real
doctor? I really want to smash your skull with the butt of a gun and see what's inside it! Is it straw or
mud?"
Emmett snapped outside the ward. He grabbed the attending doctor's collar and forced the poor man
into a corner. He roared as he pushed him hard.
The doctor's tongue was out of his mouth. Feeling his neck was about to break, he was having trouble
catching his breath.
This patient's family member was so irritable!
"Master Smith, Master Smith! Please stop, Master Smith!"
Kayden and his men pulled Emmett from behind.
Emmett was too strong for them, so their effort was in vain.
The doctor's eyes bulged out, and he forced a few words in panic.
"There, there's another way.... There's another way...."
Emmett let go of the doctor but still glared at him, growling,
"Speak! What else can I do? Speak before I snap your neck!"
"Let's try the oldest trick in the book. Ice, ice cubes...."
"Ice cubes?"
"Put them under the patient to cool her off."
...
Kayden was pissed and yelled,
"Do you have a death wish? How about I grant it? What the crap is that? Are you trying to give her
hypothermia? Lying on ice, my ass."
Emmett instantly calmed down and chewed on the doctor's suggestion with narrowed eyes.
"She got this ill because she stayed in the cold for too long. Will ice make it worse? You have to think
this through!"
The doctor's lips were trembling. He was nearly choked to death by Emmett, and his lips were blue.
"Let's bring down the fever first. Otherwise, it will do damage to her organs. This is the top priority. Let's
worry about other things later."
"Fine! Ice it is! If things go south, you will suffer!"
At 5:30 in the morning, it was dark and frosty.
Her bed was blanketed in ice which emitted a white mist.
Kayden was worried. He looked at Elaine who was in Emmett's arms and asked,
"Master Smith, is this okay? Will it hurt her?"
Emmett looked down at his little woman with a conflicted expression.
Of course, he was also anxious!
Of course, he felt it the most!
But....
He couldn't sit idly by as his girl walked to Death's door.
This was a Hail Mary!
If he didn't try, she would have heart failure and perish.
He could probably fix her if he gave it a shot.
"Let's try this one out."
Emmett's voice had never been so heavy before. He lowered his head and kissed Elaine's hot
forehead. Gritting his teeth, he placed her on the ice.
"No...."
As soon as she touched the ice, she groaned.
Emmett was so distressed that he almost picked her up. Clenching his jaw, he gripped her small hand
and said in a trembling voice,
"Darling, bear with it. Let's fight this fever. Hang in there."
It was ripping him hard inside.
The next second, to everyone's shock, Emmett leapt up and swiftly climbed onto the ice.
...
He stretched out his arms and put Elaine' head on one, wrapping the other around her small body.
They lay side by side on the ice.
"Master Smith, what are you doing up there? Come down!"
Kayden frowned, his hands trembling.
It must feel chilly there!
Under Emmett's long eyelashes was the love in his eyes beaming at Elaine. He said softly,
"I'll feel the cold with her."
"Master Smith!"
"Shush! Be quiet. You guys go now."
"Master Smith...."
"Get out!"
Kayden opened his mouth but failed to say anything. He could only sigh and left drooping his head.
Actually, he meant to say, 'Master Smith, you can't do this anymore. You will fall ill. Yesterday, you
dived in the deep sea for too long, and the internal organs are suffering for it. You haven't eaten
anything today. What's worse, you've been agitated for two days. You should take care of yourself too!'
Unfortunately, Emmett was too smart to let him say that out loud.
Standing outside the ward, Kayden sniffed, his eyes red.
He peeked in and saw Emmett's ashen face.
However, it was laced with affection and tenderness.
They were only for Elaine.
The doctor who had almost been strangled by Emmett did not dare to enter. He also stood outside the
door and peeped inside.
He shook his head and praised, "This man is a miracle. The patient doesn't feel pain because she is
unconscious, but he can. I admire his tenacity!"
Kayden darted a glance at the doctor beside him and snorted coldly.
"What, you can talk now? Didn't you almost die just then? You came up with this stupid idea! If anything
happens to my boss, I will slice you alive!"
The doctor's face had just turned red, but now he was frightened pale again.
Emmett had been hugging Elaine lying on the ice.
Every now and then, he combed her hair, kissed her cheek, and whispered to her ear.
...
Kayden's eyes turned red as he watched them. He was touched beyond words.
He was shocked his icy boss could be so affectionate!
Emmett's lips gradually turned cold, and his gorgeous face frosted over.
These ice cubes were indeed freezing!
He didn't know if Elaine could take it.
His teeth chattered from the cold, but he was still thinking about Elaine.
"Elaine, do you know how intriguing you looked like when I first saw you?"
"You were a ton of fun. Your cheeks were rosy, and your eyes were misty. You looked like a drunken
doll."
"I wanted to shake you off at first, but then I saw your cute little face and went soft somehow."
"You threw yourself at me. You felt so soft that I thought you were some kind of mollusk. You tugged at
my clothes with your little hand and simpered at me. God, you looked adorable."
"My heart lurched for the first time. Looking at your innocent eyes, I even felt an urge to possess you.
Isn't that funny? And we had just met."
"Elaine, come to me. Fight your fever. You need to be strong and get better. I will give you whatever
you want if you pull through."
