Chapter 56: Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Chen Ningxi opened her eyes to see Cheng Qiaobei half-squatting at her feet, staring at her nervously. Her first reaction was that she was delirious from her illness.

"Liang Lei, am I hallucinating? I think I see—" Her voice stopped abruptly as she sat up, "Cheng Qiaobei?"

Cheng Qiaobei held her hand, noticed her palm was hot, and pressed the back of his hand to her forehead, "You have a fever?"

Chen Ningxi turned her head aside, "It's nothing."

"What do you mean nothing?" Cheng Qiaobei pulled her hand and said to Liang Lei, "I've already arranged for someone to tidy your rooms. A staff member will come to help you with your luggage in a bit. I'm taking Ning Xi to the hospital."

"I'll come too." Liang Lei quickly followed.

Cheng Qiaobei used the hotel's business shuttle to take Chen Ningxi to a nearby hospital. Even in the car, she insisted it wasn't a big deal, saying she'd be fine after taking some fever medicine.
