The attending physician in the emergency room was already waiting for them.
Bennett carried Yvonne into the examination room. After a quick check-up, the doctor wrote out some orders for tests.
A nurse performed an ECG and drew blood from Yvonne.
The results came back in half an hour. Yvonne had a viral flu, which had caused a high fever.
The weather had been cold lately, and many people had contracted the virus, with high fever and coughing being the common symptoms.
Yvonne was dazed from the fever. She vaguely felt Bennett carry her into a hospital room, and then a nurse came to set up an IV drip.
Yvonne had been fearless since she was a child, but she was terrified of needles.
When she saw the nurse, she instinctively tried to hide her hands.
Bennett sat by the bed, holding her and covering her eyes with his warm hand.
Yvonne’s world went dark, and she could only feel Bennett taking her hand. Whether it was because the fever had numbed her senses or because the nurse was exceptionally skilled, Yvonne didn't feel any pain.
When Bennett removed his hand from her eyes, the IV needle was already inserted in the back of her hand, and the fluid was slowly dripping through the tube into her body.
“If you’re not feeling well, just get some sleep. The doctor added some fever-reducing medicine to the IV. You’ll feel better after you sleep and the fever breaks,” Bennett said, gently stroking Yvonne’s forehead, coaxing her like a child.
Yvonne nodded obediently. Her eyelids felt heavy, and she fell asleep not long after closing her eyes.
She slept deeply, all the way from morning until evening.
When Yvonne woke up, Bennett was still sitting by her bed, in the same position, as if he hadn't moved at all.
“You’re awake?” Bennett’s handsome lips curved into a smile when he saw her open her eyes, his gaze incredibly gentle.
“Have I… been asleep for a long time?” Yvonne asked as she rubbed her eyes, her voice raspy.
Bennett stood up, walked to the water dispenser, and filled a cup halfway with warm water. “Drink some water before you talk.”
