…
" Sir, what is wrong with her? Will she be alright?" Anna asked, hands over her mouth, eyes glistened with tears.
She was half asleep when she noticed Delilah's breathing suddenly quickened like she was struggling to breathe, sweat formed on her head, her face twisted like she was in horrible pain, and she began to thrash about on the bed, she had to call Liu Yi over.
The whole place was in chaos.
Liu Yi's brows furrowed," Hold her down and give her a sedative" he barked, the male nurse hurriedly held Delilah in place while another injected the sedative in her arm.
Delilah's body convulsed for a while and soon calmed down, she continued to sleep peacefully.
Liu Yi looked at her for a while, his brows knitted," She'll be fine, has something like this happened before?"
He knew it might be the fever, but he couldn't help asking, Anna was still shaken, she nodded in a daze as she recalled that night Delilah had a nightmare.
" There was a time I went to her house for a sleepover, and she had a nightmare, but she wasn't this violent, she only cried" she said absently.
" Cried?"
Anna nodded, her eyes blank as she looked at Delilah," She stopped crying when her dad coaxed her"
" She'll be fine, I'll have someone bring something you can eat, you must be famished" he said with a smile before he left.
" Thank you sir" Anna smiled in return.
…
Late, the next morning,
Anna grunted a little when she felt someone feel her pulse, she opened her eyes to see a relatively good-looking face," Morning cadet" she heard the young physician voice and her eyes widened.
" M-Morning" she responded, her face flushed with embarrassment.
The young physician smiled and left to check Delilah.
Anna sat up and looked out of the window, the rain has stopped.
" She's still unconscious?" she asked softly.
" Yes, your other friend is awake though" he said as he wrote down something in his book after removing the thermometer from Delilah's mouth.
" Harrison… he is awake?" Anna was surprised.
" You can go and confirm if you want," the young physician responded.
" Thank you" Anna hurriedly got out of bed, she packed her hair into a messy bun as she rushed to his ward. She has some questions to ask him.
When Anna got to his ward, the bed was empty.
She was stunned and her heart sank.
" What are you looking for?" she heard a slothful deep, velvety, cold voice behind her head and she turned around to see the person she was looking for, leaning lazily against the door still.
" Harrison!" She jumped in fright.
His expression remained indifferent," Any problem?"
" Uh, No, no, no problem, I heard you were awake, and I came to check on you, how's your leg now?" Anna said in a breath.
Harrison's eyes narrowed," Fine" he responded and began to limp towards the bed, Anna reached out to help, but he refused.
