When Emily opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the snow-white ceiling. Then he saw Franklin sitting in the chair next to him, leaning back slightly and falling asleep with his eyes closed. The hair on his forehead was a little disheveled, and coupled with his sleeping face, it showed a bit of childishness.
"Franklin." Emily opened her mouth and called out.
She was startled when she opened her mouth, and her voice was hoarse like a piece of sandpaper in her throat. She thought she was loud, but when she opened her mouth, her voice was so small that she couldn't hear it.
But Franklin's eyes moved and opened quickly.
He didn't know if he really heard or felt something, but when he woke up, he immediately looked at her.
Seeing that she was awake, he quickly got up from his chair and walked to her side, gently holding her hand and asking, "How are you? Are you still feeling bad?"
With that, he reached out and touched her forehead. He felt the temperature on her forehead drop and breathed a sigh of relief.
Emily was moved. Her eyes were red and moist, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Didn't you go abroad? Why are you here?"
"Do you want some water?" Franklin asked.
Emily nodded. She was really thirsty and her throat was burning.
Franklin quickly released her and went to pour a cup of warm water to help her sit up.
After drinking a glass of water, Emily felt much better.
At this time, the doctor came to check the room, knocked on the door and came in. He took her temperature and did a simple examination.
"How is it?" Franklin asked.
The doctor said, "The fever has subsided, but there is a slight pneumonia. We still need to hang some water for a few days and stay in the hospital for a few days. We can only be discharged when we recover. But Mr. Brent, don't worry, it's no big deal."
"Thank you," Franklin said.
The doctor was flattered and gave Emily some instructions before leaving.
After the doctor left, Emily looked at Franklin and asked, "When did you come back? How did I get back to the hospital? What happened before?"
"You should take good care of yourself first. We'll talk about this later." Franklin took a deep breath and squeezed out another smile.
Without waiting for Emily to speak, he turned and left.
"Franklin." Emily called out in a hurry, but Franklin ignored her.
