Abigail sat for a while before returning to her room.
In the middle of the night, Abigail heard Sean coughing incessantly in the next room, so she immediately got up and went to check on him.
He was coughing severely, his face wrinkled. His skin had turned red. It was obvious that he had a high fever.
Abigail walked to his bedside and touched his burning hot cheek.
"I'll call the family doctor," she said while quickly pouring some water for him.
Sean coughed, feeling a sharp pain in his chest as if it was being torn apart. He didn't expect that the injury in the Golden Triangle would have such serious consequences for him.
While making a call to the family doctor, Abigail poured water for Sean.
"Yes, he's coughing severely and has a high fever. His physical condition is very, very poor. When you bring the medicine, please be careful. He has had previous injuries, and his internal organs are slowly deteriorating." Abigail spoke calmly, but her voice couldn't help but tremble slightly.
When she came back with the water cup, her eyes were already red.
After drinking the water, Sean felt a little better, but the corners of his eyes were also red.
Looking at Abigail's expression, he felt that he couldn't burden her any further. Tonight's cough almost took half of his life.
He felt so uncomfortable that he wished he could just faint.
But he couldn't ask Abigail to give up on him now. With her eyes red, he felt uncomfortable, too.
"I'm sorry…" Sean suddenly said hoarsely.
"Why are you apologizing?" A reddened-eyed Abigail still tried to be strong.
"For making you worry," Sean said softly.
Abigail tucked him under the covers and then reached into the blanket, tightly holding his hand. "Sean, there's nothing to worry about. You should know that if we really are together, there will be many difficulties in the future that we need to face together."
Sean nodded before he started coughing again.
His lungs felt like they were about to explode.
Abigail watched him in pain but couldn't do anything to help.
Half an hour later, the doctor finally arrived. He first gave Sean a fever-reducing medicine and then a powerful cough suppressant. After examining him, the doctor told Abigail, "The situation is not optimistic. We should take him to the hospital."
"Will it help to take him to the hospital?" Abigail asked.
