“Huh?” Zong Yanxi was stunned for a few seconds before reacting. Then, she quickly got up, “Are you alright?”
Tawan replied, “I’m okay.”
The part of his skin that was not covered by his bathrobe was red. She turned around quickly with her back toward him and said, “Hurry up and put on your clothes. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
With that, she left the room quickly and as she closed the door, she said, “I’ll wait for you outside.”
With a click, the door closed, Tawan sat on the floor not getting up immediately. His mind was a little muddled and he only felt hot even though the air conditioner was gently sending out a cool breeze. He pulled at the collar of his bathrobe and stood up against the sofa. Then, he picked up the phone on the table and call Zong Yanxi.
Very quickly, the call was connected.
“Yanxi, please go home and rest. I’m fine,” Tawan told her.
He walked to the mirror and looked at himself. The state I am in is truly embarrassing.
He did not want Zong Yanxi to see him in this abnormal condition.
Tawan did not know what was going on but Zong Yanxi knew what was happening. How could Nancheng just coax Li Xiaohui out of there and not do anything else?
“I am…”
Zong Yanxi was going to say, “I am waiting for you outside,” but the call was ended.
Inside the room, Tawan threw his mobile phone onto the bed and went into the bathroom. He felt as if he were being engulfed by the heat in his body and he could not stand it any longer. In the shower, he turned on the shower and used cold water.
The icy-cold water kept splashing out from the shower head and his whole body was soon thoroughly wet.
Worried, Zong Yanxi called his phone but no one answered the call.
The sound of water splashing from the shower drowned over the ringing of his mobile phone.
After calling a few times and getting no response, Zong Yanxi was worried that something might have happened to Tawan, so she went down to see the receptionist at the front desk.
Once the door of a hotel room is shut, it can only be opened from inside the room.
Hence, she had to seek help from the front desk receptionist.
