Tang Zheng stared at her back blankly for a while before looking away. He realized that she had left enough money to pay for this meal.

He suddenly smiled. He had not expected a woman to treat him to a meal.

…

An Lan returned to the car and sat alone for a while before she received a call from Xu Baohan.

The phone rang for a while before she picked it up.

“An Lan, are you coming over today?” Xu Baohan’s voice came through the receiver, sounding weak. It was different from before.

“I’m not coming over,” An Lan replied coldly. She did not want to see him at the moment.

“Work again?” Xu Baohan was a little disappointed. “I’m not feeling well today.”

An Lan was stunned and asked unwillingly, “What’s wrong with you, your stomach?”

“No, I seem to be feverish,” Xu Baohan said weakly.

An Lan fell silent.

She had asked Doctor Han this morning. The medicine that Zhuang Tianya had prescribed yesterday was for fever. Doctor Han had said that there had been a lot of flu patients in the hospital recently, and coincidentally, Xu Baohan was also feverish.., “Why did you suddenly have a fever? The flu in Xia city seems to be quite rampant recently. Did you infect someone?”

Xu Baohan felt guilty on the other end of the phone. After going to work today, he felt light-headed in the afternoon and his entire body felt extremely uncomfortable. He was usually in good health, but he rarely looked like this. He also felt that he might have been infected in the hospital in the early morning, of course, it wasn’t necessarily Zhuang Tianya. After all, she had gone to the clinic yesterday and there were many patients with fever coming in and out. It was also possible that she had been infected then.

“HMM… it’s possible. There are usually a lot of people coming in and out of the clinic. It might really be from someone,” Xu Baohan said vaguely, “Since it might be contagious, it’s better if you don’t come over. I’ll go to the clinic to grab some medicine later.”

“Alright, call me when you’re better then,” An Lan’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

Xu Baohan was startled. He had said earlier that it was just a stomachache, but she had been so nervous. Why did she seem so cold now.

Even though it might be contagious, as her girlfriend, she shouldn’t be like this. She wasn’t like her usual self, and she didn’t even care if he ate or not at this hour.

Moreover, he was really suffering. At this moment, he wished that she was by his side, even if she was wearing a mask.

But perhaps he was too selfish. Having a fever was indeed very painful for a man like him.

“Okay, goodbye, I’m going to the hospital.”

After hanging up, Xu Baohan struggled to get up and prepared to take a taxi from the courthouse. It was impossible for him to drive like this.

In the car, An Lan looked at her phone for a long time before she finally started the car and drove home.

Along the way, the word “fever” lingered in her mind.

In the end, she was still worried, so she turned the car around and went to the hospital near Xu Baohan’s house.

…

After Xu Baohan arrived at the hospital’s emergency room, he started to feel even more uncomfortable. Even his stomach started to churn, and in the end, he couldn’t take it anymore and threw up beside the rubbish bin.

After waiting in line for so long, he had to take his own blood again. After taking his blood, he had to send it to another floor for testing. He ran up and down to get the results. When he went downstairs, he was leaning against the railing and was on the verge of collapsing.

“Baohan, it’s really you.”

Zhuang Tianya’s voice came from behind him.

Before he could turn around, a hand was already supporting him. Zhuang Tianya’s concerned face appeared in front of him.
