Emelia didn't hear any response from Julian but only the sound of running water.
She had to call him. "Julian?"
A thought came to her mind, "Could it be that he passed out because staying too long in the rain?"
Then the situation would be awkward now. How could she save him if he fainted when taking a bath?
Thinking of this, Emelia could only knock on the door and shout, "Julian, are you alright?"
The sound of water stopped, and the man's hoarse voice sounded again. "I won't die."
Emelia was furious by his words. Did he deliberately speak in such a gloomy tone to embarrass her?
Not wanting to talk to him anymore, Emelia turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
While sitting in the sofa and waiting for Julian, Emelia couldn't help but complain to Nina on WhatsApp about Julian's preposterous behavior tonight.
After hearing this, Nina responded her with some laughing emojis. Then, she said, "The rain today is as heavy as that when Julian went to the Longerich family to look for Emelia."
Emelia was a little speechless. She knew that meme. The rain today was as heavy as that when Andy Dufresne succeeded in escaping from the prison; or as heavy as that when Robert Kincaid separated Francesca Johnson.
But she never thought that Nina would use it to make fun of Julian. As soon as she thought of Julian's look of self-torment in the rain, she became furious. "What an annoying person he is! Childish!"
As soon as she finished complaining about Julian, Emelia heard the door open and saw Julian walked out, dressing neatly with blown dry hair.
At the first sight, Emelia slightly frowned because of the abnormally red face of Julian.
She got up and walked over to him and asked, "Why is your face burning like mad?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Julian suddenly hugged her. His handsome face, which was burning, pressed against her neck.
"Emelia, I really can't live without you." His tone sounded very sad. Only then did Emelia realize that he had a fever, which caused his voice to sound so hoarse.
"Julian, you have a fever!" Emelia couldn't be bothered to listen to him. She quickly pushed him, trying to see his face clearly.
After being pushed, Julian couldn't stand still due to the high fever. He simply fell onto the sofa next to him, which startled Emelia. "Julian!"
Vincent and Naomi, who came here after learned the news, did not expect such a situation. Naomi turned around and ordered the nanny, "Call the family doctor to come right now."
It was raining heavily outside. They couldn't send Julian in fever to the hospital and had to ask the family doctor to come.
Vincent helped Emelia to carry Julian to the bed in the guest room. Emelia took a wet towel over and put it on his forehead as a physical cooling.
After everything done, Vincent stared at the man on the bed who was dizzy because of the high fever. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing about it.
Originally, he had planned to teach Julian a lesson and then drive him away after he changed his clothes. However, now that Julian had a fever, he couldn't drive him away anymore.
The family doctor arrived very soon. After the examination, he diagnosed that Julian caught cold and fever due to fatigue of the long journey and rain. After asking Julian to take the antipyretic, he prescribed some anti-cold medicines.
Vincent said discontentedly, "A young and strong man has a fever just because of standing in the rain for a while. He is weaker than me!"
Not only Vincent but also Emelia was puzzled.
