Shrewd wife of Lin brothers,Chapter 380 - Headless Chicken - Read free novels online

" Wan Wan!"

" SU WAN!"

" oh no!"

Lin Yan caught Su Wan right before she fell, his heart that was filled with happiness just a minute ago, couldn't help but burst in worry a second later when her body touched his. She was hot - no she wasn't just hot, she was burning up with a fever. He hurriedly picked her up in a princess carry as he ordered Lin Chen before rushing to Su Wan's room " Ah Chen go and bring doctor Gu, Wan Wan is burning with fever. GO HURRY! BRING HIM AS SOON AS YOU CAN"

Lin Chen was about Su Wan too but he knew he wouldn't be much help here, with his elder brothers by her side, Su Wan would be alright. So he turned on his heels and ran out of the house.

Lin Yu wanted to go with his third brother too but he knew with his lame leg, he would only slow the latter down. So he stopped himself from rushing after his third brother and rushed to Su Wan's room as fast as he could.

" Mei, Go and fetch some cold water and a clean towel" ordered Lin Yan busily as he laid Su Wan down. The latter was so out of it because of her high fever that her face was flushed red, and her breathing was laboured, without proper treatment, a person could burn his or her life and Su Wan was weak from the very beginning. With her malnourished body, Lin Yan knew that she was in a lot of pain. He tried to handle her as gently as possible but he still made her frown. When he put her down on the bed, Su Wan shivered because of the cold and he hurriedly covered her with a quilt before turning to his eldest brother " Elder brother heat up the Kang, Su Wan wasn't at home since morning, her bed is really cold. She might catch another chill if she stays in a cold Kang"

Lin Jing nodded and hurried out of the room before bringing a bunch of firewood and starting the fire on the stove under the Kang. The bed slowly warmed up and Su Wan's breath became a bit more relaxed, and her furrowed brows also eased down.

" second brother here" Qi Mei returned together with her elder brother Qi Shuyan because both of them were still recovering from their malnourishment, they were still weak. So the two of them had to carry the water vat together, even then they spilled a lot of water on the floor " I bought cold water"

Lin Yan asked her to bring cold water in a bowl but he knew that Qi Mei and the siblings must have been startled because of this sudden shock they just received so he didn't say anything and took the water vat from them and put it on the floor before taking the wipe cloth from Qi Zhi and soaking it with cold water.

Once the cloth was completely soaked, Lin Yan removed the extra water and put it on Su Wan's forehead. He knew it wasn't much but this helped them a lot in the past, they couldn't afford a decent treatment and though Doctor Gu sometimes treated them for free, there were times when he wasn't available. At that time, they used a cloth soaked in cold water to wipe their body, which helped them in bringing their temperature down. Su Wan was running a high fever, he knew that Su Wan was in a very critical situation.

He just hoped that Lin Chen would bring Doctor Gu as soon as he can.

The weather was not cold anymore but people were still wrapping themselves up, they knew that the winter was not dangerous but the most dangerous time was when the seasons changed. Doctor Gu was sitting in his house and happily sipping on a warm bowl of porridge and pancakes, he has repeatedly warned his family to keep themselves wrapped up or else they would get sick. Which was his family was completely fine, thus when Lin Chen came knocking on his door urging him to come with him as soon as he can, he was really startled.

Because he and Father Lin were good friends, he had warned The Lin brothers about the changing of seasons and the risks involved if one was careless. So, he was really surprised to hear that someone from the Lin family caught a fever.

" is it serious? I have herbs for common cold here but I need to take precautionary herbs as well if her situation is really bad" said Doctor Gu as he draped on his cotton-padded jacket.

" I think you should doctor Gu, Wan Wan... Her face was really red when she fainted, I fear her body is in a bad condition" said Lin Chen he was so flustered that he was wringing his hands, he really wished for Doctor Gu to hurry up but it was him who was in the wrong coming here so suddenly, in the night. Of course, Doctor Gu wasn't prepared.

Doctor Gu nodded and picked up his kit before stuffing a delicate pouch in it " let's go" then he turned to his wife Madam Wu " you go inside and go to sleep even if I don't return home soon. Xiao Bai is still awake he will open the door for me, don't try to push yourself, see where pushing oneself brought little Wan"

Doctor Gu really treated his wife, Madam Wu really well because his wife had an underlying situation. He knew she was weak compared to everyone else in their family so he, again and again, asked her to sleep without waiting for him.

Madam Wu also understood that her husband was worried so she hurriedly nodded and didn't try to fight him " I know, I'm not a child anymore. You go, Lin wife is waiting for you"

Doctor Gu agreed and then walked away with Lin Chen.

Madam Wu watched her husband go and uttered a silent plea for Su Wan. She knew how scary it was to have a fever , if one wasn't careful they could even lose their life.

She hoped that the little wife of the Lin brothers was strong enough to get past this hurdle.
