Chapter 261 Fever
Cecilia Glendon’s mind got a little messed up, so much so that she fell asleep at night directly in the living room.
She woke up in the second half of the night from the cold, and once she opened her eyes, she felt her throat hurt and her head was dizzy, and the TV was still on.
She turned off the TV in a daze and got up from the couch, her feet were as deep as if they were on cotton, making it almost impossible for her to stand.
She had a hard time going to get herself a cup of hot water and blew it cool before slowly drinking the water down.
Drink hot water to feel better.
Cecilia Glendon slowly felt her way back to her room in the darkness to lie down to make love, the blanket was cold, no matter how thick the covers were, she felt cold every night before she went to bed.
She always wondered why it was always hot inside the comforter before or when Tannen was there.
She had some difficulty, I don’t know if it was in her heart or in her body, but in any case, she ended up sleeping straight through the difficulty.
Cecilia Glendon couldn’t remember if she had fallen asleep or not, she felt like she could still hear the sounds coming from outside, but her eyes just wouldn’t open and the alarm set on her phone kept going off, she was tempted to lift her hand and turn it off.
The alarm had been ringing for who knows how long when the door to her room was finally knocked on.
“Cecilia ?”
It’s Debby White’s voice, she shouldn’t be angry anymore …
“Your phone keeps ringing, what are you doing?” Debby White asked in a raised voice after knocking on the door and not hearing a response.
There was still no movement inside, Debby White gradually felt that something was wrong, this Cecilia Glendon is not up so early every day, how today at this moment is still lying in bed?
Debby White took hold of the door handle and pushed the door straight in.
She went to the bed, first turned off the phone that was still chirping, and then the window went to pull the curtains back.
It was already bright outside.
“Cecilia?” Debby White folded back in, only to find that Cecilia Glendon’s cheeks were flushed with a less-than-normal redness, her brow was furrowed, her lips were white, and her whole body looked pale and lifeless.
Debby White immediately felt bad, and she quickly reached for Cecilia Glendon’s body temperature.
It was only when I touched it that I felt Cecilia Glendon’s forehead was so hot I could fry an egg!
“Cecilia!” Debby White hastily tapped Cecilia Glendon’s face in an attempt to wake her up, “Wake up!”
“Debby White …?” Cecilia Glendon finally spooked out of her drowsiness, she looked at Debby White who was close by, weak, like she didn’t even have the strength to speak, “What’s wrong?”
“You’re running a fever.” Debby White’s eyes were full of pain, “What the hell did you do last night? I had the air conditioning on and I got a cold.”
“Last night …” Cecilia Glendon stared for a moment before remembering that she had accidentally fallen asleep outside last night, “I’m fine, just let me get some sleep. ”
She never goes to the hospital when she has a cold or fever, and usually gets better after a good night’s sleep.
“It’s not okay, you’re burning up like that, you have to go to the hospital!” Debby White said as she tried to pull Cecilia Glendon out of bed and take her to the hospital.
“I’m not going to …” Cecilia Glendon, although she was too sick to have much strength left, somehow managed to push Debby White’s hand away at this moment, and she nestled back under the covers, hugging them tightly. “You go to work, don’t worry about me.”
She knows Debby White has been very busy lately, with another lawsuit to fight in the past two days.
“You’re sick and I’m going to work, how dare you!” Debby White sat down next to Cecilia Glendon, “It’s better to go to the hospital, you can’t lie down like this.”
“I’m really fine.” Cecilia Glendon said in a muffled voice, “I used to get colds like this, and I’d get up after a good night’s sleep, don’t you know that.”
Debby White was immediately gagged by her.
It just so happens that her cell phone rings again, and it’s a colleague from the firm rushing her.
“Or I’ll call my aunt over and have her take care of you for a while.” Debby White was really out of ideas.
“No …” Cecilia Glendon took Debby White’s hand in hers, “You can’t call my mom … Debby White, no …”
Although she was in a feverish daze, she knew that Cecilia Glendon’s mother would be anxious if she found out about her illness.
She didn’t want Cecilia Glendon’s mother to have to travel back and forth so much .
Debby White looked at her and bit her lower lip for a moment before pushing her hand away and tugging the covers toward her, “Okay, I’ll see to this, you get some rest.”
When she finished, she got up with her phone and went out.
Cecilia Glendon also seems to hear her calling someone, like asking someone to come over and take care of her.
She was tempted to ask Debby White who she had called, but she just didn’t have the strength and fell into a drowsy state again.
She had been lying half-asleep, half-awake, somewhat indistinguishable from the dream world and reality.
Obviously it should be a dream, but that dream is too real.
Because Cecilia Glendon saw Abbott Benson.
She saw Abbott Benson push his way in and sit next to her, his cool hand against her forehead taking her temperature, a coolness she craved so much she even rubbed it against his hand.
“Stop it.” Abbott Benson seemed to speak up again as he reached down to hold her head upright and pressed the covers she’d kicked away well under her again.
Cecilia Glendon looked at him with half-smiling eyes, “Abbott Benson … Are you for real?”
“Do you want me to be real?” She heard Abbott Benson ask.
“Well … hope.” Cecilia Glendon did not think, nodded directly, after nodding, she raised her lips again mockingly, “Really still dreaming, right …”
How could Abbott Benson be here if he wasn’t dreaming?
“Get some rest.” Abbott Benson, who was recognized as a fake, rubbed her head and whispered.
The temperature of his hand was really in proportion to Cecilia Glendon’s hot body, and it was so comfortable to touch her head that Cecilia Glendon fell back to sleep.
Once again, I woke up hungry.
She smelled a scent of porridge and opened her eyes to see a tall figure slowly walking in, the scent spilling out of the bowl he was carrying.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Get hungry.” Abbott Benson said.
“Well … hungry …,” Cecilia Glendon answered smoothly, but only after the answer felt wrong.
Why is Abbott Benson here? Is she still dreaming?
To prove it, Cecilia Glendon pinched her face so hard that she hissed in pain.
“You …” she looked at Abbott Benson and was suddenly speechless.
So what she thought was a dream was also true?
“Debby White called me and said you were sick, badly, and wouldn’t go to the hospital.” Abbott Benson sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her with a stoic gaze, “You’re burning up pretty bad.”
Cecilia Glendon is still looking at him, somewhat in disbelief at what is happening in front of her.
But when she finally realized she wasn’t dreaming, she rolled over and turned her back on Abbott Benson, her voice was still muffled but her tone had turned cold: “I’m fine, I’m not dead yet, you can go.”
