Chapter 715
Mo Jingshen glanced at the prepared dishes: “Wait a little longer. It’s still hot.”
Ji Nuan made an ‘oh’ sound and obediently sat down to wait patiently.
When it was finally time to eat, Ji Nuan jumped up from her seat happily and could not resist hugging Mo Jingshen again. The little woman clung onto him like a teddy bear backpack as he brought the dishes out. He placed the dishes down and turned to hold the little woman, pressing a doting kiss onto her forehead. “All right, go wash your hands and eat.”
Ji Nuan raised her head and pressed a hard kiss against his chin. She was about to head to the bathroom when she paused to look back at him, “Shenshen, why is your body so warm?”
Mo Jingshen rubbed her hair. “It’s probably because I’ve been working in the kitchen; I’m feeling a bit hot. Go wash your hands now.”
Ji Nuan hesitated for a moment before heading for the bathroom.
When she returned, Ji Nuan pleaded for Mo Jingshen to eat with her. She sat closely by his side and brought food to his lips every so often; she wouldn’t give up until she managed to feed him several bites.
Tonight, the dishes Mo Jingshen had prepared were all milder in taste. For the past few days on this island, their meals had mostly consisted of seafood. Now they finally had a table of normal dishes. Ji Nuan has always been biased toward his cooking; even if she could not remember this, she still ate very happily.
Toward the end, she held onto her tummy to complain that she could not eat anymore, but still stuffed several bites of dishes into her mouth. She then laid on the sofa refusing to move.
The time was past 10.00 p.m. after their meal. Earlier, Ji Nuan had slept for five hours and was not sleepy right now. She decided to stay on the sofa to watch television.
Mo Jingshen brought her a blanket and headed to the study to work.
Late night, Ji Nuan was deeply invested in the show she was watching. She faintly heard a few low, heavy coughs from the study and assumed that she had heard wrongly. She paused to listen careful but did not hear any movements, and remained on the sofa to watch the television.
Some time later, the study room door opened. Ji Nuan turned back but was unable to catch Mo Jingshen’s expression. She watched as he entered the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water. He then returned to the study with the glass in his hand.
At 1:00a.m., Ji Nuan finally began to feel drowsy. However, she had fallen asleep in the afternoon right after their shopping trip, and had not managed to take a shower yet. Her habit of taking frequent showers did not change despite her memory loss. She stood up and headed to the bathroom for a comfortable shower. Afterward, she could not locate the hairdryer, and recalled that Mo Jingshen had helped her dry her hair in the morning. She did not pay much attention to where he had put it.
Ji Nuan walked out of the bathroom rubbing her hair with a towel. She searched through the room but could not find it, and could only shout toward the study: “Shenshen, I want to dry my hair. Where did you keep the hair dryer?”
There was no response.
Ji Nuan repeated her question again but there was still no response.
She found this weird and approached the study. She carefully knocked against the door but could not hear any movements inside. She was about to ask if he was busy when she heard a loud, heavy noise of something falling against the ground.
The moment Ji Nuan heard the noise, she moved subconsciously and slammed the door open. Inside the study, the lights were gentle, and the computer on the desk was still turned on; the company documents Mo Jingshen typically worked on were still being displayed. Ji Nuan’s gaze swerved downward and she abruptly saw Mo Jingshen, who was laying on the ground.
“Shenshen?” Ji Nuan was frightened by the sight. She ran in and knelt down by his side. His eyes were closed and his brows were furrowed uncomfortably. Ji Nuan was dumbstruck as she stared at him. She carefully nudged him twice: “Shenshen, what’s wrong?”
Mo Jingshen opened his eyes slightly and caught the obvious fear in Ji Nuan’s gaze. He instinctively wanted to stand up, to avoid frightening her, but was unable to summon any energy. He could only force himself to speak up hoarsely, “It’s alright… go look for a hotel employee. Help me call a doctor over.”
“Shenshen, what’s wrong with you?” Ji Nuan nodded frantically while reaching out to feel his body. She found that he was burning up even more than when they were eating. When he closed his eyes once more, she began to cry anxiously, “Shenshen, don’t frighten me… Shenshen, wake up…”
Mo Jingshen frowned but was unable to open his eyes.
A doctor, that’s right, a doctor.
Earlier, he asked her to go call a doctor.
Ji Nuan stood up in a fluster and accidentally knocked her leg against the chair by the side. She almost stumbled backward and barely managed to stand firm. She endured the pain and rushed out. However, after several steps, a wave of dizziness caught her off guard. She swayed a little and leaned heavily against the door. Her head was pressed against the door and it felt especially heavy; she could not lift her head no matter how she tried.
Ji Nuan pressed her hand against her forehead but could not ease the intense pain. She hit her own head several times and shook it with force. Vaguely, she seemed to hear a voice in her mind reminding her to go call a doctor; she could not delay it any further.
In the end, she gritted her teeth and endured the sensation that her mind was about to explode from the pain and stumbled out of the room. The moment she opened the door, she shouted out in a flustered state, “Is anyone here? Someone come… call a doctor…”
There was a hotel employee in-charge of staying near their suite; the moment the employee heard Ji Nuan’s shouts, she rushed over.
“Mrs. Mo? What’s wrong?” The employee saw that Ji Nuan’s complexion was extremely pale, and that she was trembling from head to toe. She immediately thought that something had happened to Ji Nuan. She stretched her hands out to support her.
However, Ji Nuan shook her head. She pointed to the study inside: “Call a doctor…”
The employee understood her and entered the room quickly. She pushed open the door and was startled by the sight of Mr. Mo collapsed on the ground. She immediately picked up her phone and informed the employees downstairs of the situation; they would arrange for the best doctor to come over immediately, and take care of any other matters. She then tried her best to help Mo Jingshen up, frowning as she asked, “Mr. Mo’s body is burning up; he must be having a fever. Mrs. Mo, did he eat anything strange for dinner?”
Ji Nuan approached; her expression was still frightened. She shook her head dumbly: “Only rice and vegetables, and cooked beef…”
“That can’t be. Why would he have such a serious fever for no reason?”
When Ji Nuan heard that Mo Jingshen’s fever was serious, her eyes immediately turned red again: “I don’t know…”
Ji Nuan bit her bottom lip as she answered the employee. She felt that she was especially useless. Shenshen treated her so well, yet she didn’t even know that he was ill. She wasn’t able to provide any help. She was so useless.
When would she finally return to being that amazing person in the video?
She didn’t want to be so useless.
