Hard To Say Goodbye novel Chapter 7

As if Nora was in a dream, she was awakened by a burst of rapid cough. Her baby son, Hugh, coughed one after another. She didn't know her son had a fever. She was so tired these days that she didn't know.

Nora ran to Grace's bedroom and ask anxiously, "Is there a thermometer at home?" In a hurry, Grace stood up and said, "Let me look for it for you. It seems that there is one." Grace had been used to living alone, throwing things randomly. After searching for a long time, he finally found a thermometer in an inconspicuous drawer corner.

With a thermometer in her hand, she ran to her room, picked up her son and put the thermometer under Hugh's arm. Nora looked at her son with concern. Little Hugh's face was burning and her heart was beating fast.

In a hurry, Grace grabbed a hot towel and put it on little Hugh's forehead. Five minutes had passed. It seemed very long for them. In the dim light, she saw that her son had a fever, which was forty-one or two degree Celsius. What should she do? Nora was so anxious.

It was still early in the morning, and she felt her son's body burning hot. In a hurry, she only went to find Grace to get a thermometer, not caring about what time it was now? At this time, Nora looked up at the clock on the wall. It was just four o'clock.

Nora pulled Grace's hand and said, "Is there any medicine for children to bring down their fever?" Grace replied, "I'm an adult. How could I have children's antipyretics? "I was just too anxious. What should I do now? It's only four o'clock in the morning."

Since she didn't live a good life in Beijing, her rented house was far from the city and there was no hospital around. This worried her so much.

Suddenly, a person's name flashed through her mind, it was Murphy.

Only a woman would do such a thing when she was a mother. No matter what happened, as long as it was for the sake of the child, she would rather have a try, even if she would be refused. She didn't know where Murphy lived in Beijing, but now she only thought of him at that moment.

When the phone was connected, a very attractive voice came from the other end of the phone, he said lazily, "Who is it?" "I... I... I'm Nora," said she almost crying on the other end of the phone.

Murphy felt strange and said, "Why do you call me in the middle of the night?" "I really need you helo now. My son has a fever and has a very bad fever. I just came to Beijing and I only know you here. I don't know anyone else except you. So I'm calling you. I hope you can help me and save my son.
