Brother

Adrian arrived at the hospital early in the morning.

Last night, Ethan was suddenly struck by a mysterious fever, the temperature rising with frightening speed, shooting up to 38.5°C(101.3°F) in no time.

For healthy people, a fever usually means a few days of rest. But Ethan was in the middle of chemotherapy, which had severely depleted his white blood cells. His immune system was practically non-existent. If the fever continued, it could quickly lead to sepsis.

Throughout the night, Ethan suffered from severe chills, rapid breathing, and an accelerated heartbeat. Several times, he nearly lost consciousness. The nurses and doctors tried various methods to bring down his fever, but the situation remained critical.
