Hey there Zanzan! You know, I've been ill since Thursday. I first had symptoms of me having fever during dinner with my wife and Kai. I did inform them but I myself didn't really take much heed because I thought a sudden increase in my usual warm body temperature and sore throat. The worst came on Friday and Saturday. My temperature suddenly shoot up to 40+ degrees... But I can't just abandon my wife because of my illness so I head straight to her house after my class. Initially I was alright and all and I tried to put up a strong front.
But all of it was uncovered when she hugged me. XD My body temperature was waaaaaayyyy higher then usual. I got her worried sick of course and I still felt bad until today... I even troubled her... When I myself couldn't take the high fever, I asked if I could rest instead. Several minutes later, she asked me to rest on the floor instead with a blanket covering the floor for me and she rush to the kitchen. She took with her a towel and a basin containing water and ice cubes. She patiently and diligently soak the towel into the freezing water and gently dabbing it on my upper body and forehead. Even though I was shivering so much and distracting her but with a gentle voice she said, "Tahan alright baby~? This is all for your own good."
After dabbing and changing the basin water several times, she gave herself a rest and sleep soundly beside me. Even though she mentioned my temperature was still high, she meant well. She was actually concern as to why my temperature was still high after all that... But all went well soon after. My temperature did went down considerably. We went for dinner and the only thing I could eat was porridge but it was a satisfying meal. (Hope I get to taste her home-made porridge next). But when I'm my way home... my temperature sky rocket again due to travelling... Worried not only my wife by my mum too.
I told my mum what she did for me on Friday and in a way, my mum got jealous! XD She was like saying that this kind of thing usually mothers would do and some wives too. It's hard to see that in teenage relationships. But her face was a little towards the envious side. XD (Sorry mum! I slipped again!) Then on Saturday morning at around 4AM, my mum woke up early to check up on me and noticed that my temperature was still high. She took a whole lot more ice cubes (when you see the amount, you might just wanna freeze to death... XD) and cold water and a towel. She dabbed my forehead with it while I'm asleep. I freaking screamed in my sleep for a few seconds and she thought my soul just jumped back in or something... XD
I screamed like this, "AAAARRRRGGGHHHHhhhhh....". And afterwards, I fall back to sleep~ XD
