If it were in Qing Yuan County, Yue Zhong could get over 20 doctors to help diagnose and treat Zhuo Yatong, but here, he could only rely on the Life-Saving Grass and some herbs, stuffing them into her mouth and watching over her.
In Yue Zhong’s storage ring, he had amassed quite a number of herbs. After all, the Life-Saving Grass was not entirely a miracle drug: although it could help recover internal injuries and treat external wounds, with regards to illnesses resulting from viruses, it was not much of a help.
Yun Caiwei looked at her mother whose face was currently pale, her entire body perspiring and her breath ragged. She pulled on Yue Zhong’s hands and asked worriedly,
“Mommy! Big Brother, what’s wrong with her?”
In this world, Yun Caiwei could only rely on her mother and Yue Zhong, so seeing her mother like this was enough to cause her to panic.
Yue Zhong helped Zhuo Yatong wipe away the sweat on her face while consoling Yun Caiwei: “Don’t worry, it will all be alright!”
Yue Zhong himself did not know what had happened to Zhuo Yatong, but he knew for a fact that he could not be rash. Being rash would not help anything, so he pulled Yun Caiwei away from Zhuo Yatong’s side and placed her into the car.
After the world had changed, many sorts of strange happenings had taken place. If Zhuo Yatong suddenly became a zombie, it would not be considered as unexpected.
Half an hour passed, then followed by a full hour, and with the flow of time, an entire night passed, yet Zhuo Yatong’s fever did not subside one bit, although she had not turned into a zombie.
On the 2nd day, Yue Zhong cooked porridge again to feed Zhuo Yatong and helped her wipe away her perspiration, busily taking care of her for an entire day. There was no intention to progress from their current spot.
On the morning of the 3rd day, Zhuo Yatong furrowed her eyebrows, opening those beautiful eyes of hers and seeing Yue Zhong lying beside her, obviously having taken care of her for an entire day.
Emotions rushed up in Zhuo Yatong’s heart and at this moment, she fell in love with this youth younger than her by 8 – 9 years. Women were usually emotional creatures; whilst Yue Zhong had come to their aid at the start, she was thankful but not moved. Even their tryst by the riverside happened as a way of thanking Yue Zhong for saving them and it was not out of love, hence at that time, she didn’t actually develop any feelings for him.
Yet when she found that Yue Zhong had taken care of her unconditionally when she was unwell, she realized that she had truly fallen for this man.This was because regardless of what his motives were, he had personally taken care of her very carefully, and this type of trait was hard to find in the current world.
Zhuo Yatong couldn’t help but reach out her hand to stroke Yue Zhong’s face.
As he possessed a strong sense of wariness, Yue Zhong had awakened the moment Zhuo Yatong had moved. He grabbed her delicate hands in his, saying,
“You’re up! Let me go cook some porridge for you.”
Not a single mushy sentence like “I love you” or “Without you I’ll die” came from his mouth. Yet this simple sentence had moved Zhuo Yatong, her emotions stirred.
Yue Zhong also did not know that he had unintentionally won the heart of this beauty. He had chosen to take care of her simply because he had treated her as his woman, and he had the responsibility to. He knew that even though he had won her body, he did not assume that he could win her heart.
Zhuo Yatong looked at Yue Zhong and a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. She said,
“I’m fine now, let me prepare the food! Looking after her man is a woman’s basic duty.”
After which, Zhuo Yatong sat up.
