My Doting Husband novel Chapter 56

She threw the phone aside, muttering, “Can’t you rely me with a few more words? Fuddy-duddy!”

As her words fell, footsteps of Maggie were sounded outside the door.

“Are you asleep, Miss Emma? Mr. Lewis told me to ask you to go downstairs for dumplings.” Asked Maggie, standing at the door.

Hearing the word of dumplings, Emma felt headache.

When she was in Britain, she cooked many times for Ivan for he liked to eat dumplings.

She used not to like dumplings, and because if that, she felt dizzy when she saw dumplings.

But in order to consider the feelings of her grandpa, Emma lazily climbed up from the bed and shouted to the door, “Ok, I will there.”

Maggie heard it and then her footsteps quickly disappeared in the stair.

After a sneeze, Emma felt pain in her stomach and felt dizzy when she stood up.

….

In the dinning room of the first floor, Lewis scooped the source to his plate with his spoon and said to Emma who was going downstairs, “Come and taste Maggie’s dumplings, it is fill with seafood. You will love it.”

Emma made a sneeze. She was reluctant but still sat at the table and picked up the chopsticks.

Maggie helped her with the source and noticed she did not look good when she looked up at Emma.

Before having the first dumplings, Emma could not help but make a sneeze.

Lewis looked at her, stretched out his hand to feel her forehead and then sand to Maggie, “Get the thermometer.”

When Emma grabbed the thermometer from her armpit in a daze, she was stunned.

39.7 degree!

Maggie was not in a mood to have dumplings now, but went to get febrifuge and cook ginger soup.

It was not until 2 o’clock in the morning, Emma’s fever subsided.

Lying in bed, Emma was covered with two think quilts with the help of Maggie and soon she got sweat all over, even so, she still got runny nose and sneezed.

When she looked outside the window, she got the firework became less and the sound of firecrackers was not as loud as before. It was a new year and she had a heart quaking birthday.

…

She had a sound sleep this night and it was not until ten and half in the next day, she woke up in a daze.

After the fever, she got weal all over and her stomach got growling.

She put of the fluffy clothes and went downstairs for food before she washed her face.

Because Grandpa Lewis had taken care of her last night, he was still in sleep. But as she walked out of her bedroom, she heard conversation downstairs.

She was stunned first and stopped in the stairs and looked down over the handrails.

Expect for Grandpa Lewis, there was an unknown man on the sofa.
