Chapter 688 She Dreamed That He Came Back

Her smartphone was in her hand. She wanted to call Nathan again, but she worried that he wouldn't
answer her call. Thinking over it again and again, her headache got worse and worse.

Throughout the whole night before, Mandy had tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep well. But her
eyelids were getting heavier. She didn't know when did she fall asleep.

The next day, when Mandy woke up, it was already late in the morning. She was already very late for
work. Normally, Nathan would prompt her to get up, but since Nathan was not at home then, she had to
take care of herself.

Eventually the pain in her head faded away, but when she opened her eyes, she was depressed.
Mandy opened her eyes in a daze, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and suddenly sneezed.

She sniffed, and wondered if she was going to catch a cold.

Because she went to bed late last night, it was noon already, and Mandy was still yawning. She
glanced at her cell phone on the night table. The battery was fully charged, but Nathan hadn't called
her at all, nor sent even a WeChat message.

She had felt aggrieved and depressed since yesterday when Nathan hung up on their call. Normally,
even if Nathan was displeased, he would be satisfied as long as Mandy said sorry and yielded like a
child.

However, she really crossed the line for Nathan when she slept at Colin's house the night before!

But she hadn't really meant to do that. The whole situation just made Mandy feel very tired. She felt like
she didn't know what to do. She was in a dilemma.

On the other hand, Mandy didn't call Nathan, either. She tucked herself into bed and browsed on
Weibo, but she soon felt sleepy again and yielded to sleep.



Lillian had prepared her lunch and went upstairs to invite her to have lunch. She walked to the bed and
said gently, "Madam, it's time for lunch."

"Lillian, I don't want to eat. You can go ahead and eat it for me." Mandy turned over. Suddenly her head
felt a little heavy. She didn't understand why she had no appetite for food.

"You should eat something, because you need to take some medicine. After that you may sleep again.
Madam, as a doctor, you know that skipping lunch is bad for your health," Lillian said gently. She
squatted at the edge of Mandy's bed and tried to persuade her.

"Thank you for your kind suggestion, Lillian, but I really don't need it. You may go downstairs and eat
now. I have a headache, and I need to sleep for a while, just a little bit." Mandy's eyelids became
heavy. She didn't know what was wrong with her today. She wasn't the sort of person who liked to stay
in bed, so why did she want to stay in bed today?

At seven o'clock in the evening, Mandy felt that she had a fever. Curling up in the quilt, she felt hotter
and hotter.

Mandy had a dream. In the dream, Nathan had a car accident in Switzerland. She was so scared by
this nightmare that she broke into a sweat, with tears in her eyes.

When Nacy came back later that night, she found that Mandy was still sleeping. She rubbed her eyes
when she saw this. It was understandable for Mandy to sleep at half past nine when she went out that
day. But would she be in bed after seven o'clock then? Hadn't she awoken yet?

Nacy called to her quietly, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

But Mandy made no response. Her eyebrows were deeply furrowed.



Sensing something strange, Nacy approached her. At that time, Mandy was curled up under the quilt,
with her face flushed. Her body had a high temperature. Noticing that Mandy didn't look well, Nacy
instinctively reached out and felt her forehead. She felt a very high temperature, which frightened her.
She went downstairs to look for the medical kit.

When Nacy went back, Lillian followed her upstairs, "I woke her up at noon, and she said she wanted
to sleep, so I didn't wake her up since then."

Lillian thought nothing bad would happen to Mandy, but she hadn't expected her to get a fever.

Nacy opened the medicine box in a hurry and took out an electronic temperature instrument, aiming at
Mandy's head. After a few beeps from the device, she found that Mandy's temperature had reached
thirty nine point eight degrees Celsius!

She took out an antipyretic and put it on Mandy's head. It had been prepared in advance for Adrian,
who often had a fever during seasonal transitions.

"Ms. Nacy, what should we do now?" Lillian asked in worry, looking anxiously at Nacy.

Nacy sighed. She didn't know when Mandy's fever would be reduced. It was nothing serious to catch a
cold, but a high fever could cause brain damage.

"We'll take her to the hospital. I'll call the ambulance," Nacy said decisively. Then she took out her
smartphone and called the hospital.

Mandy ended up staying in the hospital for two days with a high fever. During these two days, she
didn't eat or drink, and she relied on an IV injection to maintain her nutrition.

According to the test report, Mandy's blood was a little inflamed. She was allergic to penicillin, so they
couldn't give her an injection of penicillin.



During her stay in the hospital, Jason and Daisy came along with Adrian to visit Mandy. But she was
still listless and had no spirit to talk to them. They couldn't figure out why her fever wouldn't go down.

At night, the wind blew. Mandy was lying alone in the hospital. As she heard the wind, she felt more
dizzy.

Nacy told Nathan that Mandy was in the hospital with a high fever, but Mandy didn't know that. On the
fourth day after her husband left, she thought he would come back.

Mandy fell asleep from fatigue. Her eyelids were closed tightly, and her eyebrows were slightly
furrowed.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly felt that her quilt was being lifted by someone. There was a
gust of dry hot air, and it smelled good.

She didn't know that Nathan had come back. She put her arms around him even while she was still half
asleep. She felt as if she was dreaming.

Nathan put his hand on Mandy's forehead. He frowned as he felt that her head was still a little hot. So,
he put an antipyretic stick on her forehead again.

He slept with her in his arms the whole night.

In the morning of the next day, Mandy's fever had finally faded away, and her head was no longer
dizzy. She opened her eyes in confusion, and she saw Nathan staring at her with deep and affectionate
eyes. Feeling stunned for a long time, she was unable to speak.

"You... Why are you here?" Mandy stammered. Her beautiful eyes soaked up the sight of Nathan's
face. He looked thinner, and his angular side face looked more handsome. There was some stubble on
his chin.



Making no expression, Nathan just looked at Mandy. He felt that his anger hadn't totally dissipated. He
had been in a cold war with her for two days, and this woman who had made a serious mistake hadn't
admitted her mistake yet. Although Nathan had always been calm, he finally couldn't resist making a
phone call to ask her. He hadn't finished his business in Switzerland yet, yet he had come back three
days early.
