Last night, when Zhou Liying again puked at Mu Yuehan, he had called the doctor who had attached glucose to her hand. The needle was attached to her hand and it was paining Mu Yuehan.

 

"Sir, here is the porridge." His staff served him a bowl full of porridge.

 

Mu Yuehan accepted it and looked at Zhou Liying.

 

By now, Zhou Liying had become half-conscious. Her eyes had also become focused and she knew that Mu Yuehan was the one sitting beside her and that she was sick. Very sick.

 

"Try to have some porridge." Mu Yuehan placed a spoon-filled with little amount of porridge in front of her mouth.

 

She felt like vomiting when she looked at the food. She did not want to eat, she wanted to sleep again.

 

"No," she frowned when she heard her voice; it was very throaty and weak. Moreover, her throat burned like hell only by speaking a single word.

 

"You need to eat this sweetie; it will be good for your health. Now be a good girl and open your mouth. Ahhhhh….." Mu Yuehan coaxed her as if she was a baby.

 

She groaned. She did not want to eat, she want to sleep again. It was hard for her to sit like this and look at the food.

 

"Please eat for me," Mu Yuehan begged.

 

Very reluctantly, Zhou Liying opened her mouth a little. She felt pain in her lips when she parted them. They were completely dry. Her mouth was dry.

 

Soon she felt hot liquid in her mouth. She had a hard time gulping it. Her mouth and throat both pained in the process.

 

"Don't worry sweetie, you will soon get well, but for that, you need to eat this."

 

She again opened her mouth and accepted the food.

 

Even though she was having a hard time eating, she was feeling better after having something in her stomach.

 

Spoon by spoon, very slowly with patience, Mu Yuehan fed her porridge. He fed her half a bowl of porridge; he stopped only when he realised that she could no longer have food.

 

He felt happy that she at least had some real food. He was also happy to have fed her and that she had food from his hands.

 

After feeding her, he wiped her mouth and gave her medicines. She had a yucky face when having it. He smiled. She was acting like a baby at that moment.

 

He then again adjusted her on the bed. He covered her with covering sheets. He massaged her head a little and just like that, she again fell asleep.

After sleeping for one more day, Zhou Liying again opened her eyes. This time, she was not feeling weak like before, in-fact, she was feeling refreshed. It felt as if she had woken up from a proper sleep of a night.

 

She gulped saliva to check her throat and to her relief, they were not aching like last night. She was having only a small discomfort. She was also not feeling any headache any more. She moved her fingers and she did not have any trouble in moving them anymore.

 

Sure, she still felt that her body was breaking and that she needed to rest. She knew this was the effect of recovery from fever. She was lucky to have someone beside her, to look after her, to help her in recovering from such the bad flu.

 

Mu Yuehan!

 

She thought about the man who was beside her, worried for her for the last three days. The man, the reason behind her recovery was him.

 

She may not be conscious in the last days but she had vague memories of them.

 

She could still hear the chants which he was whispering in her ears from time to time:

 

'Get well soon sweetie, I cannot see you sick like this.'

 

'This pain will soon go away, trust me. I am here with you.'

 

'Get well soon, get well soon, get well soon...'

 

'I love you very much, more than anything. I can't wait for the day when you will accept my feelings for you.'

 

'Get up sweetie; I still have to do so many things for you.'

 

From time to time, he was massaging one or another body part of hers very gently, soothing her and giving her aching body some relief. It was as if he was in her service for twenty-four seven.

 

She clearly remembered him feeding her food or medicine. She also remembered how she had vomited all over him multiple times, but he had not said anything to her. He had still gently fed her. He cared for her more than himself.

 

He treated her as if she was a baby.

 

For the whole night, he was seated beside her, changing her wet wipes. When she was cold, he was continuously rubbing her palms or feet.

 

All this care from him made her feel loved. And this was the best feeling in the world. She wanted to enjoy these feelings.

 

 Zhou Liying yawned and stretched her body.

 

She looked here and there in the room, checking out the room of Mu Yuehan. And that was when her eyes fell upon the man seated on a couch opposite to her, with a laptop on his lap and an air pod attached to his ears.

 

He was on a video call and that was the reason that he failed to notice that she was up and now was gawking at him.

 

Mu Yuehan did not wish to, but he had to attend an important video call. This call was with the president of county U and was planned a month ago. There was no chance that he could miss it, so unwillingly he had to attend it.

 

Not able to leave the side of Zhou Liying, he decided to attend the call in his room itself. While attending the call, he was checking at Zhou Liying from time to time. He was also speaking in a low and soft voice as to not disturb her.

 

"Hey, you are up!" He spoke up the moment he noticed that she was up.
