Su Jiuyi poured the medicine into the basin, then used a thoroughly soaked towel, wrung it dry, and gently wiped his skin, afraid of waking him.
After following Doctor Chen's instructions, the clock pointed to two o'clock. She removed the towel from his forehead and checked his temperature; it was no longer hot, but the red spots on his body hadn't subsided yet.
She didn't dare to sleep, only sitting beside him to rest, occasionally helping him change the towels.
Outside, the sky began to lighten, with rays of light filtering through the gaps of the curtains, casting a beam onto the bed.
Shi Aoju moved his neck, feeling weak all over, and endured a severe headache.
He opened his eyes; his vision gradually cleared from a blur, and he saw Su Jiuyi asleep at the edge of his bed, her face showing signs of exhaustion.
