Soon, before Professor Xiao and Professor Fan had even finished their meal, the doctor was brought in. Sister Fang quickly explained the general situation, then watched as he sat by the window to take Zhou Lian's pulse.
After a moment, Doctor Wang took out a thermometer, glanced at it, and said, "39 degrees. She caught a chill from the wind. It's nothing serious. She'll be fine once the fever breaks. Let's give her some fever-reducing medicine first."
Watching Sister Fang crush the pills and dissolve them in water, Doctor Wang shook his head. "So she still can't swallow pills!"
Without pausing her work, Sister Fang chuckled. "Yes, her husband spoils her. It's fine."
With that, she walked to the bedside, placed a towel on Zhou Lian's chest, and helped her sit up. She said to the delirious Zhou Lian, "Open your mouth and drink the medicine, or I'll pinch your nose and pour it down!"
