Female Novel
Chapter 2275
Luca was optimistic as she thought that her immune system was good and it was unlikely for her tocatch a cold.
In the afternoon, she noticed that Aunt Neile was starting to prepare lunch, so she stood up to help her.
Before she could even take a step, she felt a sudden wave of dizziness. Her vision blacked out.
She instantly fell back onto the couch.
Tommy rushed over after noticing it and looked at her worriedly. “Ms. Luca, are you not feeling well?"
"Maybe..." Luca leaned against the sofa with her eyes closed. She could feel her entire body burning,and when she stood up, all she could see was black.
She had a cold.
It was not just a common cold either. She even had a fever.
The sickness suddenly hit her hard, and she felt weak all over.
Tommy noticed her scarlet red face and immediately climbed onto the sofa. He reached out his chubbyhand to cover her forehead like she used to do for him when he was sick to check his temperature.
"Ms. Luca, your forehead is burning!" he exclaimed as he felt like his little hands were about to getburned.
"Yeah.." Luca then knew that she was down with a fever. She opened her eyes and felt like her eyeswere also affected by the fever as her vision was blurry. "Tommy, go get Aunt Neile."
"Okay." Tommy hastily climbed off the couch and went into the kitchen to get Aunt Neile.
As soon as Aunt Neile heard that Luca had a fever, she immediately turned off the stove and came out."Ms. Craw, are you sick?"
"I've got a cold and a mild fever..." Luca thought that she would be able to overcome it, but it allhappened so fast that she was caught off guard.
"I'll go inform Mr. Crawford!" Aunt Neile hurriedly took out her phone to notify Luke.
"Aunt Neile, there's no need to!" Luca stopped her as Luke said that he was going back to work aftertexting her about Leia's condition earlier. Hence, she did not want to disturb him while he was working.
Aunt Neile gauged Luca's temperature by placing her hand on her forehead. She then frowned andsaid, "You're running a high fever. You definitely need to go to the hospital. If you don't want to disturbMr. Crawford, should I call your driver?"
She did not know how to drive, and Luca was not in good shape to drive either. Hence, someone elsehad to take her to the hospital.
"Aunt Neile, it's just a small matter. I don't need to go to the hospital." Luca shook her head slightlywhich made her feel even dizzier.
"No way, you're burning!" Aunt Neile frowned. If her fever did not go down anytime soon, her lips mayeven dry up.
"I placed a small medical kit under the TV cabinet. Can you get it for me? I'll feel better once I get somerest after having medicine," said Luca.
Before she left the island, she got some medicine from Shanks for colds and fevers.
Those medicines were very effective, but she did not bring them over from the old apartment becauseshe did not think she would need them as she was not one to get sick often.
Hence, the medicine in the medical kit was store-bought.
When she found out that Luke and the kids would move in together, she went to the pharmacy to buysome medicine that she needed to keep on hand and kept them in the medical kit.
Aunt Neile quickly went to the TV cabinet, and she opened the drawer to find where the medical kitwas.
"Water..." Luca's voice was muffled.
She did not feel it just now, but once she realized she had a fever, her throat felt so uncomfortable as ifsomeone was burning it from the inside.
After Luca managed to sit up straight with great difficulty, she opened the medical kit and took out anantipyretic and cold medicine.
Aunt Neile brought her a glass of warm water.
After checking that the water was at the right temperature, she drank the water and swallowed themedicine. Then, she closed the medical kit and held onto the sofa for support as she stood up.
Aunt Neile rushed forward to hold her arm. "Ms. Craw, where are you going?"
"I just had some medicine, so I want to go upstairs and rest for a while," said Luca as she finally gavein. She just wanted to sleep under her blanket until the sun went down.
"I'll help you up," said Aunt Neile as she helped her up step by step toward the top of the stairs.
On the other hand, Tommy followed behind them worriedly.
Halfway up the stairs, Aunt Neile felt that Luca's footsteps were a little wobbly, so she said, "Ms. Craw,you can lean on me. It's okay, I'm very strong."
"Thank you." Luca gritted her teeth and persevered as she walked up to the second floor.
Aunt Neile was drenched in sweat and panting by the time she got to the second floor as she had usedall her might to assist Luca. She said, "Mr. Crawford should really install an elevator here."
If there was an elevator in situations like these, Luca would not need to have a hard time walking upthe stairs. Aunt Neile would not have to exhaust herself by assisting her up either.
Luca successfully lay on her bed with the help of Aunt Neile.
Aunt Neile bent down to help her take off her slippers and then tucked her in with the blanket.
At that moment, Luca had already closed her eyes without saying a word.
"Aunt Neile, is Ms. Luca going to be okay?" Tommy said worriedly as he stood by the bed.
“She'll be fine after taking medication. Don't worry, Young Master Tommy. Ms. Craw will be fine soon,"said Aunt Neile.
"Then I'll keep watch over Ms. Luca." Tommy was worried about her.
Although Luca had her eyes shut, she was not asleep. When she heard what the child said, sheopened her eyes and looked at him. "Tommy, be good and go play with your brother and sister. Don'tstay here."
"But Ms. Luca, I'm worried about you!" Tommy refused.
Luca shook her head. "I'll be fine after resting for a while. I have a cold now. I can't pass it on to you, sostay outside."
Children's immune systems were weak, so Luca was doing it for his good.
"I don't want to..." Tommy wanted to stay there.
“Aunt Neile, take him out. I don't want to pass it to him." Luca's voice sounded hoarse, but her tone wasstill tough.
Aunt Neile immediately responded and took Tommy out of Luca's room.
“Aunt Neile!" Tommy raised his hands in protest.
Aunt Neile held up her finger over her mouth, signaling him to be quiet. “That's enough, Young MasterTommy. Stop making noise and let Ms. Craw get some rest."
“Would I interfere with her rest?" Tommy pouted as he felt wronged.
He may be rowdy all the time, but when there came a time he needed to be quiet, he could be just likehis brother!
“Young Master Tommy, colds are contagious, and children like you are easily infected. If you get sick,Ms. Craw would need to take care of you. How will she get better then?" Aunt Neile had a sudden ideaand gave an excuse that was guaranteed to persuade him.
The reason why Tommy wanted to stay by Luca's side in the first place was to take care of her, so thiswas a good excuse.
Sure enough, Tommy was convinced. He pouted and said, “Then I'll go play with my brother andsister."
“Go ahead and don't worry. I'll watch over Ms. Craw. I'll come up in a bit after making lunch to check ifher fever has gone down. She'll be fine!" Aunt Neile assured him.
Tommy nodded and walked into Lanie's room.
Lanie and Rainie were both reading in their rooms.
On the other hand, Aunt Neile was afraid that the children would be hungry, so she rushed downstairsto cook. She thought that sick people would not have much of an appetite, so she made some porridgespecifically for Luca.novelbin
During that period, she went upstairs to check on Luca. Little did she know, when she opened the door,Luca had already fallen asleep.
