Accidental Pregnancy (10)

…...

Qin Zhi'ai had no idea how long she had been sleeping in the dark. She only knew that, when she regained consciousness, she was dying of thirst, with her throat burning and her mouth extremely dry.

Her eyelids were as heavy as lead, and she couldn't open her eyes at all.

She moved her lips, trying to call out for a glass of water but, no matter how hard she tried, no sound would come out.

In a daze, she felt a warm hand touching her forehead and then heard a gentle voice. "Qin Zhi'ai? Qin Zhi'ai?"

The voice seemed to have come from a very distant place but from someone she knew.

Before she could wake up, the man left but, after a while, his low voice returned, as if he was talking with someone on the phone.

"Well, she's still in a fever... She's slept all day and night, but she still hasn't woken up. Call the medical director of your hospital, and ask him to come over now. I want him to give her a thorough exam again."
