At Christine's home. In Casey and Annabel's room.
There were only three rooms in Christine's home. So Casey and Annabel had to live in one room. At night, Annabel slept on the sofa in the room; sometimes she would secretly slept beside Casey for a while.
Annabel wasn't trying to touch Casey. In fact, the sofa was very hard and it was very uncomfortable to sleep on it. Since she was a child, she had never slept on this kind of sofa. When she could still bear it, she wouldn't secretly sleep on the bed for a while.
Now, Annabel was looking solemnly at Casey with a glass of water in one hand and the small bottle containing three pills in the other hand.
"Are you really going to take these pills?" Annabel asked with a solemn expression,
Casey smiled and said, "Give it to me. Aren't you very afraid that I'll die? Why are you hesitating now?"
"I'm worried that there would be something wrong with these pills. If anything goes wrong after you take them, I'll regret it." Annabel said.
"Anyway, my situation has been at the worst. It can't be even worse. Give it to me." Casey spoke.
Annabel helplessly sighed, handing the water and pills to Casey.
Casey put the pill into his mouth without any hesitation, drank some water and then swallowed them.
Before long, Casey found that he began to burn all over. The sweat burst through the skin of his forehead. His face became red.
What surprised Casey was that the pain on his chest began to slowly ease.
"These pills should be useful, but I fell a little dizzy. It might be the side effect of the pills. Besides, I'm very sleepy. I might sleep for a long time." While speaking, Casey was nearly unable to open his eyes.
Annabel hurriedly helped Casey to the bed. At this moment, Casey had already fallen asleep.
She touched Casey's forehead, finding that he had a very high body temperature. She was a little worried, so she hurriedly asked Christine to ask the doctor they asked last time to come here.
The doctor checked Casey again after coming here, surprisingly finding that Casey began to recover from his injuries.
Annabel told the doctor that Casey had taken those pills. The doctor couldn't make sure what that was, but the doctor was sure that those pills greatly helped Casey recover from his injuries.
Having a fever and falling asleep were just the side effects of those pills. Of course, the doctor was not sure if there were other side effects.
After making sure that Casey would be fine, Annabel was relieved. Meanwhile, she was somewhat excited. If Casey could really survive, she would be happier than Casey.
The doctor told Annabel to take good care of Casey and that she should turn to him in time when anything went wrong.
Casey slept for seven days, during which Annabel kept staying by Casey's side and dared not to go away for a while.
In these days, Casey looked better and better. Annabel was sure that those pills could help Casey recover from his injuries.
At the same time, she was somewhat puzzled. Who on earth was the senior citizen that gave Casey those pills? As the young lady of the Thompson family, Annabel had never heard that there was a medicine that could bring the dying back to life. Presumably, the senior citizen must be more powerful than anyone could imagine.
