Fortunate Wife Chapter 111

Chapter 111 – Fated Marriage String (3)

Li Man hastily went over to the bed .

Seeing that Li Yan had half-opened his eyes and was struggling to get up, Li Hua hurriedly tried to stop him . “Second brother, you’re sick . Lie back down . Oldest brother and third brother have already left to get the doctor . ”

“I -” Li Yan seemed to not realize he was sick . He turned his confused gaze towards Li Man .

Li Man had to say, “You have a fever . ”

“Oh . ” Li Yan slightly closed his eyes and lightly said, “No wonder I feel so bad . ”

Li Hua promptly asked, “Where are you feeling uncomfortable?”

“That’s just what happens when you have a fever . Your entire body will feel feeble, and your limbs will ache,” Li Man answered for Li Yan . After that, she told Li Hua, “Bring over another basin of warm water . He’ll feel better if you wipe him down again . ”

“En . ” Li Hua quickly left to get more water .

Li Yan lightly opened his eyes again . He looked at Li Man with a dim gaze . “Are you annoyed? Do you find me too useless?”

Her annoyance was towards how much he liked to torment himself . Not only did he take a cold rinse, he let himself get soaked by the drizzling rain too . Looking at his current state, Li Man didn’t want to make him feel worse, so she only said, “This is just a minor cold . It’s no big deal . The doctor will be here soon . You’ll be fine after eating the medicine that he prescribes . ”

“What if…” Li Yan’s gaze dimmed further . “What if I don’t make it?”

“How could that be possible?” Li Man was frightened by the sorrowful look in his dim eyes . “It’s only a fever . You’re so healthy . You’ll probably be fine by tomorrow if you just rest today . You might not even need to eat medicine . ”

Li Yan wryly smiled . What scared poor people the most? Getting sick .

It was especially true in this impoverished mountain village . There had been people who had died from catching the cold . There was even a person that had gotten bitten by an unknown bug and died two days later .

He felt so uncomfortable . It felt as if there was a blazing fire raging inside his body .

Li Man couldn’t quite understand . Why had his thoughts pessimistically strayed to death? He was a grown man, and it was only a minor fever .   Seeing that Li Yan had closed his eyes and wasn’t saying anything, she wanted to go to the kitchen and check why Li Hua hadn’t returned yet .

Right after she turned around and was about to leave, her wrist was seized . Li Man turned her head to look at him . His gaze was blurry, and he was pleadingly looked her . “Keep me company . ”

“No, I’m just going over there to take a look… . ”

Before she could finish speaking, he tightened his grip on her wrist and pulled her to the edge of the bed to sit down . “Stay here with me . ”

“You?” He seemed like he still had plenty of energy .

But, Li Yan had already closed his eyes in exhaustion . And yet, his hand was still tightly holding her wrist as if he was scared she was going to run away .

Li Man could only shake her head . He was acting so childish . It was only a fever . What was there to be so scared about?

A while later, Li Hua finally returned with a basin of warm water .

“Why did it take so long?” Li Man picked up the towel on Li Yan’s forehead and rinsed it in the warm water .

“There wasn’t any more boiled water, so I had to boil some more,” answered Li Hua . He looked at Li Yan . “Second brother, are you feeling any better?”

Li Yan didn’t want his brother to worry, so he said, “Better . ”

Hearing that his voice was a bit hoarse, Li Man quickly said to Li Hua, “Bring over a bowl of drinking water . ”

“En . ” Li Hua got up and went back to the kitchen .

Li Yan suddenly chuckled . “You seem very comfortable with ordering fourth brother around . ”

Why was he speaking so sarcastically? Li Man rolled her eyes at him . After wiping his hands and neck, she placed the damp towel back on his forehead .

At this time, Li Hua came back with a bowl of water . It had just been boiled and was still very hot .

“Let it cool down first before giving it to your second brother to drink,” said Li Man

“En . ” Li Hua nodded . At this time, his gaze towards Li Man had slightly changed . “You seem to know a lot?
