Nova patted his cheek, but Jason didn’t respond and she felt hot in her hands. Eyebrows furrowed, Nova hurriedly checked his temperature and found that he was running a high fever. She then got panic and frantically called Johnny to help her get Jason to the hospital.
Jason had a fever of 38.8 degrees and was nearly unconscious, so the doctor gave him an injection to bring down the temperature.
Looking at the fragile man on the hospital bed, Nova was extremely distressed. She remembered that when she had a fever in her childhood, her mother would rub her palms with alcohol, so she asked nurses for some medical cottons and gave him a physical cooling which Johnny witnessed when he walked in.
The once indifferent yet gorgeous Miss Graham was taking care of a man. Johnny didn’t disturb her. Nova was always leading a serious life and she seldom showed her fondness towards anyone. But the stranger lying on the bed received her special treatment. This was actually great. She can be happy and stopped being cold inside.
After rinsing Jason’s body, Nova turned around and saw that Johnny was sort of smiling at her.
She drooped her head and whispered, “I just want to see if it can really lower his temperature.”
Quirking up the corner of his mouth, Johnny glanced at the weak person on bed and said lowly, “I underestimated his status in your heart and his sincerity for you.” Nova was clear about that Jason always looked at her with full love in his eyes. But she just gave Johnny a glance and didn’t reply.
“Is his temperature down?”
Nova got embarrassed and said, “It’s not that quick.”
Johnny let out a smile and murmured, “I’ll take care of him. You can go to the company now.”
Pausing for a bit, Nova was feeling unsure.
Johnny grinned at her and said, “Don’t be worried. You know that I’m not a gay.”
Twitching the corner of her mouth, Nova then said, “Okay then. I’ll be back this afternoon.”
“Sure.”
Maybe it was because that Nova’s physical cooling worked, or because he was always strong, Jason’s temperature finally dropped three hours later. But he was still experiencing low fever, so Johnny went to the doctor and inquired about his situation.
“Why hasn’t he woken up yet?”
The doctor then carefully checked Jason’s body.
“Well, I presumed that he is sleeping now. It seemed that he didn’t rest well for a long time, so his immunity decreased. Coupled with the cold, he wasn’t able to hold on anymore. Now his fever has been brought down, so he must be tired and fall asleep. Don’t be worried, sir. He should wake up in about one or two hours.”
The man started snoring, seeming to respond to the doctor’s words. Quirking up the corner of his mouth, Johnny started seeing Jason sleeping after the doctor left.
But Jason slept so soundly that sound of his snoring even got stronger and louder.
Jason woke up about one hour later which was earlier than the doctor’s estimation, but he was feeling muddy in mind and was finally sober after staring at the ceiling for a while.
“Feeling uncomfortable?”
Johnny came over and handed him the thermometer.
“Check the temperature first.”
Jason frowned and took over the thermometer.
“Why am I here?”
“Well, Novia called me and said you fainted at the door and wanted me to help get you to the hospital.”
Novia? Jason got frantic. He didn’t allow Johnny call her nickname! He was furious inside, but for the sake of owing him favor, he couldn’t lose temper but had to say, “Well, thank you.”
Passing out was a total humiliation for men at large and he wanted to showcase his manly power.
Johnny postured a serious thinking position and smiled.
“Well, my wording isn’t that correct exactly.”
