Chapter 96 Love Rival Arrival
Yan i woke up from her nap one hour later. Lei Zhao was still there next to her, fully awake and was watching her, his fingers raking through her hair in slow and leisurely strokes.
A soft smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he stared at her.
"Are you feeling better now?" He asked with concern laced in his voice.
Yan i smiled back at him, but she winced in pain since her lips were cracked slightly at the corners.
"Water." She muttered hoarsely. Instantly Lei Zhao reached for the glass on the nightstand and brought it to her lips.
Yan i sighed at the relief the water had on her dry mouth and throat.
"You are still burning up. I thought you will be okay once you rest, but it seems your condition has worsened."
"No, I'm fi-" Yan i was interrupted as her chest heaved, she held her stomach as a fit of cough took over her for a few minutes.
"That is it, I'm calling a doctor." Lei Zhao said as he brushed a hand across her cheeks.
"No-o," Yan i tried to protest, but she could barely say the words from the rasped sounds that ca out of her instead.
Lei Zhao glared at her, "Wifey, why don't you want to call the doctor? I can't bear to see your suffering like this"
Yan i turned away and avoided his gaze.
"Okay."
Lei Zhao planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Hang in there, you will feel better soon."
Lei Zhao walked towards the bathroom and ca back with a wet towel. He gently dabbed her cheeks and upper lip with the towel.
"I must look like sh*t right now." Yan i complained as she erupted into another fit of cough.
Lei Zhao sat on the bed beside her. "Take it easy." He murmured as he rubbed her back.
"And yeah, you look terrible." Lei Zhao chuckled, as he ruffled her hair.
"Go, I don't want you to also get sick too."
Lei Zhao lightly raked his fingers through her hair.
"Wifey, you're mine to take care of. Always rember that it doesn't matter, the risks involved."
Yan i pouted, "You will change your mind after realizing I'm a horrid patient."
Lei Zhao chuckled softly, "Wifey, your antics to distract from calling the doctor won't work."
Yan i flushed and squeezed the hand he entwined with hers.
"Yeah, right."
Lei Zhao nodded and went to call the doctor.
--------
"Wifey, this is Dr. Jun, my best friend. He will take care of you."
Yan i looked at the young doctor with a silly smile on his face, and she nodded weakly at him.
After checking on her and running so tests, the doctor smiled and scribbled on a notepad before handing the ripped sheet to Lei Zhao.
"Sister-in-law is fine. Just having a fever." Jun Mo declared.
"I have prescribed so dicine for her, let Ye Xing buy it, and she would be fine in three days or so."
Lei Zhao stared at the sheet before looking up at Jun Mo."
"Are you sure it just a fever? She looks like she is suffering a lot, should we take her to the hospital-"
Jun Mo chuckled when he saw Lei Zhao's face etched with suffering and worry.
"Lei Zhao, you're acting like she has an incurable disease. It just a fever. She would be fine soon!"
Lei Zhao glared at Jun Mo, making him cleared his throat.
"She just a little dehydrated but as long as you give her steady fluids-water, soup, juice. She would be fine. Also, let her rest plenty. You will see, she would be fine in a few days."
"If she isn't, you will hear from ." Lei Zhao said with a grim nod, as he glanced briefly at Yan i with his eyes flashing with anxiety.
"Thank you."
Jun Mo snorted as he gathered his things.
"Sister-in-law, you're the only reason this guy would thank for doing sothing for him. Like that night-"
"Jun Mo, don't you have patients waiting for you at the hospital?" Lei Zhao questioned sternly, cutting him off.
Yan i raised a questioned brow at Lei Zhao, who pressed his lips together awkwardly.
"Sister-in-law, I wish you a speedy recovery. I will invite you to dinner once you get better."
Yan i nodded.
Jun Mo bead when he saw that she has agreed.
"Alright, I will take my leave now so you can rest."
Lei Zhao ushered Jun Mo to the door.
Lei Zhao ca back a few minutes to find Yan i being racked with another coughing fit.
Lei Zhao dashed in and grabbed the water on the nightstand for her.
Yan i shot him a grateful look and took a sip of the water.
"Mom is downstairs waiting for you. Let help you freshen up so you can et her."
Yan i widened her eyes, "Why didn't you tell earlier."
Lei Zhao shrugged, "She told to let you rest. "Lei Zhao said as his fingers gently swept the hair off her eyes and face.
"Can you help take a quick shower? I'm feeling uncomfortable and sticky."
Lei Zhao grinned wolfishly.
"It will be my pleasure to serve my wife."
Yan i rolled her eyes at him.
-------
After Yan i finished freshening up, she ca downstairs with the help of Lei Zhao.
The mont she entered the living room, she heard an excited milky voice, "Boo-boo!"
Niu Niu said as he ran towards Yan i and hugged her legs.
His pure eyes looked up at Yan i and blinked. His brows knitted together, "Boo-boo, are you sick? It's because uncle didn't take care of you, right?!"
Niu Niu asked as he turned his head to glare at Lei Zhao.
Lei Zhao looked at the young guy glaring at him, and he ran a frustrated hand through his hair. 'Arggh…not again'
Yan i cleared her throat and nodded weakly, "Hmm."
