Monique slept all night in the hospital lounge. When she got up on the second morning, she felt as if there was a stone on her head.
She was extremely tired and had a splitting headache. She touched her forehead with the back of her hand. The temperature should be at least 39 degrees.
Back in the office, he poured himself a glass of boiled water and took a thermometer from the nurse’s station. He took a body temperature measure for himself. No one knew that the temperature was so high that it shocked him. This temperature had indeed reached 392 degrees.
A severe fever.
She needed a lot of water, and she had run out of the fever powder in the office drawer and planned to go downstairs to buy a box.
When he walked to the front of the clinic building, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, so he ran into the bathroom near the emergency department. It seemed that he was not far from vomiting.
This was obviously a cold rhythm.
No one had found a suitable position in the bathroom. A minute later, two nurses came in and one of them said, “Hey, do you know that Dr. Ye has a lover? She is also a special appointment expert of our hospital and the deputy director of the Department of Chinese Medicine. I knew she was so young and so handsome. She is definitely a playboy.”
“I know. You mean the Miss Lim from last night, right? Miss Lim was poisoned to death and Dr. Ye stayed with her in the clinic for a whole night, which made him very distressed.”
“I really don’t know what Dr. Ching will think when he finds out. He is a son-in-law. Maybe he is used to being oppressed at home, so he needs to regain his dignity in front of other women.”
“I think so. Miss Lim is also very beautiful.”
Monique had clearly heard the conversation between the two women.
Of course, Dr. Ye referred to her husband, Brucille, and Dr. Ching said it was him.
She couldn’t believe that Brucille had been guarding another woman in the emergency department all night.
Thinking of this, she appeared in the infusion hall of the emergency department as fast as she could. Through the glass, she saw Brucille in the corner in front of her.
She was very familiar with the back view. His hand was holding the woman on the hospital bed.
For a moment, Monique felt dizzy, and then her eyes darkened and she fell down.
“Oh no, someone fainted.”
With a crash of thunder, the cleaner shouted and woke up the entire infusion hall of the emergency department. More than a dozen patients who stayed overnight all looked out in unison.
Brucille turned his eyes and found that it was his wife who had fallen down. He suddenly withdrew his hand, rushed out eagerly, and quickly took Monique into the emergency room of the emergency department.
He did a simple examination, and so did the doctor of the emergency department.
“Dr. Yip, Dr. Ching may be too tired. Besides, he has a cold now, so he fainted. It’s nothing serious.”
“I’ll give her an injection first. The fever must be removed as soon as it reaches more than 39 degrees. The other tests will be delivered in a while.”
At this time, Brucille was extremely sad. He knew that Monique must have fainted suddenly because she saw him in the ward, which was obviously stimulated.
A few minutes later, Monique woke up. She looked at Brucille fiercely and said in a cold voice, “Brucille, I did look down on you for never treating you as my man. I don’t admit that you are my husband from the bottom of my heart.”
“But that’s in the past. Why don’t you think about it yourself? Since you came to the Ching family, you have done something decent. You have been living a leisurely life. People who are nearly 30 years old don’t even want to do a decent job. Is it my fault for looking down on you?”
“But later, you changed, and I tried to change myself. Now I have completely accepted you, and even I am like you. Can’t you feel my change?”
In the end, Monique burst into tears. A wounded woman didn’t care about the environment she lived in.
More than a dozen people in the infusion hall all looked at Brucille in unison. Obviously, he had made a mistake. Otherwise, this girl could not cry like this.
Silvia, who was lying on the bed, was much better. She heard the conversation between the couple and knew that Monique had misunderstood her.
She walked to Monique’s bed with difficulty and said, “Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Silvia. I didn’t know anyone else last night because of food poisoning, so I asked Brucille to accompany me. Don’t worry, I have nothing to do with him.”
“If you don’t believe me, I can swear to you now. I just helped him a long time ago. You can ask him. Thank you, Brucille. I’ll go first.”
Monique didn’t expect the mistress to be so self-righteous. How could that be?
Silvia’s face was still pale. It was obvious that she had not recovered very well.
However, Brucille had no choice at this time. The one lying in bed was his wife, the most important woman in the world.
After letting Silvia leave, Monique grabbed his hand and asked, “Is there no man in other people’s food poisoning? Do you need help? She just said that she helped you with a small favor. Is she helping you give birth to a son?”
After saying this, the big brother sitting opposite her burst into laughter. “Sister, I’m telling you the truth. This man’s expression is not the same after he had an affair. Besides, he has given birth to a baby. Can it be counted as a small favor?”
Brucille whispered in her ear, “She is the financial assistant of Sky Tech Company. When I went bankrupt with Maxwell, I got the information about Maxwell’s tax evasion and false trade from her.”
“He lost his job because of me. Now he is working in a small company. He said that he was poisoned in the middle of the night. I happened to be in the hospital at that time, so I came to see him. Don’t think too much.”
Monique carefully recalled that Maxwell was a well-known figure not long ago, but he had disappeared recently. It turned out that the culprit was her man.
But at the end of the day, he just wanted to vent his anger for the whole family and didn’t like his arrogant look.
“Well, even if you’re right, do you have to be so intimate with me? I have a headache and help me rub it. I’ll settle it with you when I get home.”
Coupled with Brucille’s professional care techniques and the effects of the IV drip, the fever had completely subsided at noon. He had indeed caught a cold.
Brucille was about to drive home when Monique said, “If you don’t come back, didn’t you book a room in the hotel for a year? Let’s stay in the hotel for a few days. I’ll talk to you about what happened last night.”
After arriving at the hotel, the way of communication between the couple naturally became another way.
The next day, Monique completely ignored Brucille’s resentment and even sympathized with Silvia. She felt that this girl was very brave and was so filial to her mother. She must be a good girl.
Lying on the bed, he threw the pillow to Brucille. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I thought he wanted to seduce you as a mistress. Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll allow you to see her.”
