Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
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, “Miss Feng, did you not sleep all night?”
“Qing Tao, I’m tired.” 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 Miaoke’s breathing.
After confirming that she was still alive, Qian Tao heaved a sigh of relief and reached for Sun Miaoke’s 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 Zhiwu’s return.
At the thought of this, she was both angry and heartbroken.
Mrs. Sun was angry that her daughter didn’t cherish her body but heartbroken because she had to encounter such a thing.
But no matter what, she immediately called for a doctor and rushed to Sun Miaoke’s small courtyard.
After entering, she looked at Qing Tao, who was rubbing her daughter’s feet with great effort; she asked, “Qing Tao, how is she?”
“Her forehead is still cold, but it’s much better.” Qing Tao shook her head.
When Mrs. Sun heard that, she went forward. She saw that Sun Miaoke’s 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 daughter’s forehead and poured her a glass of warm water.
However, Sun Miaoke didn’t open her mouth, so Mrs. Sun couldn’t feed her even a single mouthful of water.
When Mrs. Sun saw this, she got anxious. She hugged her daughter’s head and cried, “You wretched girl, are you trying to take your mother’s life?”
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 “brother.”
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. “Doctor, my daughter is running a high fever now. Please think of a way quickly to prevent her from falling ill again.”
“Let’s talk about it after I make a diagnosis.” 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, “Looking at your daughter’s appearance, I’m afraid there’s something troubling her mind. If she doesn’t get rid of what’s plaguing her mind, I’m worried her illness will be difficult to cure.
“As for her high fever, it was due to a cold.
“Find some high-proof alcohol and get a maidservant to rub her body with it. It should be able to lower her fever.
“I’ll give you a few prescriptions later. After sweating it off, her body will be fine. However, I can’t do anything about her mental illnesses.”
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 Miaoke’s high fever finally subsided. Although she still had a fever, it wasn’t 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, “Doctor, how is my daughter’s illness?”
The doctor stood up, bowed, and repeated his words. “Your daughter’s fever has stabilized for the time being. Take some time and walk her through what’s plaguing her mind.
“I’ll come back in the evening.”
After saying that, the doctor picked up his first-aid kit and walked out..
