When Annabelle remembered their dinner, she took a cab to a supermarket nearby to shop for groceries.
After she was done and coming out from the supermarket, her phone rang.
The moment she saw the number, she answered right away.
"Hello…"
"Is this Miss Xia?"
When Annabelle heard the voice, she frowned, "May I know who is this?"
"I am president Song’s assistant, Mike!"
When Annabelle heard that, she was stunned and she asked right away, "Oh, what’s wrong? How can I help you?"
"Umm, we have a situation…" Mike didn’t know how to put it in words. The man was hesitant over the phone. However, after contemplating, he decided to tell her, "President Song didn’t allow me to tell you this. But now, no one else aside from you could help him!"
"What happened?" Annabelle asked.
"President Song had been drinking heavily since yesterday. And until now, he hasn’t eaten anything at all. When I went over, I noticed that he was in high fever. But no matter what I say, he refuses to see a doctor and refused to take any medication. I had no other way but to look for you. Miss Xia, only you can influence him!" Mike said over the phone.
When Annabelle heard that, she was stunned.
"Umm…"
"I know I am asking too much. However, I am really desperate and I have no other way but to ask for your help. If this goes on, president Song’s body would get badly hurt!" Mike said worriedly.
When Annabelle heard him, she pondered for a while and nodded, "All right, I understand. I will go over right now!"
"Let me send you the location!"
"Okay!"
After hanging up the call, Annabelle pondered for a while and went back home.
She put the groceries inside and went back out.
Was no one in?
It shouldn’t be. Mike called her not long ago and it proved that someone was indeed at home. When Annabelle remembered that Song Jing was in high fever, she was worried. The woman pressed on the doorbell again and again.
However, no one opened the door for her.
After that, Annabelle called Mike anxiously. When Mike heard her, he was worried and he went over to deliver a spare key.
When the two of them went inside, they went to Song Jing’s room. The man was lying in bed and he wasn’t moving.
Annabelle was stunned and she looked at Mike. Mike looked back at her and she moved slowly to the bed.
At that moment, Song Jing moved a little. And Annabelle released the breath she was holding. The woman almost thought something bad happened to him. She approached him and tapped him gently.
But the moment she touched his skin, she felt that he was burning.
"He is in high fever!" Annabelle sat by the bed side and said.
