Chapter 42 TIT FOR TAT PART 15
Su Fengfei went to his grandson's room. He knocked on the door before entering. He saw that his grandson was holding onto her hands. He looked solemn. 'So romantic! I never thought I would see this day.' He giggled in his mind. He asked, "Is she okay?"
Ge Chen said, "Her body is still cold. Her breathing is shallow." He kept rubbing her hands.
Su Fengfei stroked his chin slowly. "She is a little firecracker, isn't she?"
'If I knew that she was going to faint…' Ge Chen gritted his teeth. He didn't think that she was weak. She ate healthily and she looked fine just like a normal girl. And she looked so powerful when she nagged the Ge Family members. She had her favorite lunch and then came here. She seemed so energetic when she bashed Ge Guiren. Who would have thought that she would lose consciousness all of a sudden?
Su Fengfei saw how gloomy his grandson was. He spoke again, "She looks like a weak girl, and yet she is the first person who ever stood up for my daughter."
Ge Chen moved a strand of her hair away from her face. "She is amazing." His grey eyes filled with warmth.
"Yeah, especially the way she scolded the hell out of him. Ahahaha! I've never had such fun for a long time." Su Fengfei laughed heartily. When he stopped, he continued, "She has a pair of grey eyes, just like you. Talk about coincidence."
Ge Chen smiled slightly. "Yes, I thought the same thing when I first saw her eyes."
Su Fengfei grinned like an evil lord. "Why don't you tell me how you met her?" he teased his grandson while nudging him with his elbow.
Ge Chen curtly replied, "No, it's a secret." He didn't want anyone to know about his precious memories.
"Come on, my one and only grandson. Tell me everything." Su Fengfei nudged him again but all in vain. Ge Chen didn't make a single sound.
Fifteen minutes later, the doctor came. He was almost the same as Su Fengfei. He was a renowned doctor who had been Su Fengfei's doctor since he was married. He was very trustworthy.
After the checkup, he said with a serious expression, "She is suffering from anemia, low pressure, and malnutrition. She needs to rest. Don't let her work or exercise. Dieting is prohibited. Prepare a glass of saline. When she wakes up, let her drink it."
He scribbled something in his notepad and continued saying, "She needs to need more nutritious food from now on. I'll give you a list of food she must eat. Make sure she eats those vegetables and fishes that have iron."
"Malnutrition!" Ge Chen's eyebrows lifted slightly as if he was astonished. He knew her as a glutton. How can a glutton suffer from malnutrition? He said, "I saw her with my own eyes, she eats healthy food. And she eats a lot. More than we three can finish."
The doctor seemed surprised. "Is that so? How many times did you see her eating?"
Ge Chen thought about it. Then he replied, "Five times or so."
The doctor pondered deeply about it. He slowly mumbled, "Maybe she doesn't eat that much when she is alone. This is a very unusual case. Please keep an eye on her from now on when she eats. If my guess is correct that she isn't eating properly when she is alone, then it can be a serious psychological problem."
When he noticed that Su Fengfei and Ge Chen's expression changed, he hurriedly said, "Please don't panic. I'm not a hundred percent sure but if that happens then please take her to a psychiatrist."
Ge Chen said, "She is a psychiatrist."
The doctor frowned. He knew that a person with a psychological problem couldn't be a professional psychiatrist. She wouldn't get a license to practice psychology if she had a mental issue. "Then she wouldn't have that kind of problem… Maybe I jumped to a conclusion suddenly. Maybe she has her reasons. But please ask her if she is facing any problem or not. If you need anything else, don't forget to contact me."
"I will." Ge Chen agreed.
Without prying further, the doctor left. Then, Su Fengfei said, "I told Xiao Guiren to go to his own house. He is probably on the road. So, I think Xiao Lin won't mind spending the night here."
Ge Chen quietly looked at his grandfather. Ge Guiren was selfishly and shamelessly staying here after his (Ge Chen) mother died. He must have thought that this was the only way to keep a good relationship with his friend Su Fengfei. Su Fengfei or his wife couldn't say 'no' to him despite their daughter suffering.
However, when Xue Lin said that he couldn't stand Ge Guiren's presence and she would leave, Su Fengfei didn't think twice before kicking out his friend.
Ge Chen was thoroughly satisfied with the outcome. He said, "I don't plan on leaving this house until she recovers."
Se Fengfei was delighted. "That's good then. I'll tell the chef to prepare a feast."
Ge Chen said, "I already told him." But he wasn't sure if she could have dinner. He hoped she wouldn't get sick after waking up.
His intuition was correct. Xue Lin missed her feast and woke up at two in the morning. When she woke up, she opened her eyes groggily. Her head was spinning and it felt heavy. Her breathing was warm. She felt that the temperature of the room was too cold. 'I think I have a fever.' She thought.
She recalled what happened before she fainted. She wasn't feeling weak like before but her body was feeling weird. She understood that her anger caused this fever. The last time she was angry like this, she had a fever. She knew her body more than her doctor.
She forcefully stirred her body and tried to seat up. Her body swayed. She put her hands on the bed to balance her body. She felt that her left hand was touching something hard and that it was not the soft bed.
