My Wealthy Husband novel Chapter 36

Nova patted his cheek, but Jason didn’t respond and she felt hot in her hands. Eyebrows furrowed, Nova hurriedly checked his temperature and found that he was running a high fever. She then got panic and frantically called Johnny to help her get Jason to the hospital.

Jason had a fever of 38.8 degrees and was nearly unconscious, so the doctor gave him an injection to bring down the temperature.

Looking at the fragile man on the hospital bed, Nova was extremely distressed. She remembered that when she had a fever in her childhood, her mother would rub her palms with alcohol, so she asked nurses for some medical cottons and gave him a physical cooling which Johnny witnessed when he walked in.

The once indifferent yet gorgeous Miss Graham was taking care of a man. Johnny didn’t disturb her. Nova was always leading a serious life and she seldom showed her fondness towards anyone. But the stranger lying on the bed received her special treatment. This was actually great. She can be happy and stopped being cold inside.

After rinsing Jason’s body, Nova turned around and saw that Johnny was sort of smiling at her.

She drooped her head and whispered, “I just want to see if it can really lower his temperature.”

Quirking up the corner of his mouth, Johnny glanced at the weak person on bed and said lowly, “I underestimated his status in your heart and his sincerity for you.” Nova was clear about that Jason always looked at her with full love in his eyes. But she just gave Johnny a glance and didn’t reply.

“Is his temperature down?”

Nova got embarrassed and said, “It’s not that quick.”

Johnny let out a smile and murmured, “I’ll take care of him. You can go to the company now.”

Pausing for a bit, Nova was feeling unsure.

Johnny grinned at her and said, “Don’t be worried. You know that I’m not a gay.”

Twitching the corner of her mouth, Nova then said, “Okay then. I’ll be back this afternoon.”

“Sure.”

Maybe it was because that Nova’s physical cooling worked, or because he was always strong, Jason’s temperature finally dropped three hours later. But he was still experiencing low fever, so Johnny went to the doctor and inquired about his situation.

“Why hasn’t he woken up yet?”

The doctor then carefully checked Jason’s body.

“Well, I presumed that he is sleeping now. It seemed that he didn’t rest well for a long time, so his immunity decreased. Coupled with the cold, he wasn’t able to hold on anymore. Now his fever has been brought down, so he must be tired and fall asleep. Don’t be worried, sir. He should wake up in about one or two hours.”

The man started snoring, seeming to respond to the doctor’s words. Quirking up the corner of his mouth, Johnny started seeing Jason sleeping after the doctor left.

But Jason slept so soundly that sound of his snoring even got stronger and louder.

Jason woke up about one hour later which was earlier than the doctor’s estimation, but he was feeling muddy in mind and was finally sober after staring at the ceiling for a while.

“Feeling uncomfortable?”

Johnny came over and handed him the thermometer.

“Check the temperature first.”

Jason frowned and took over the thermometer.

“Why am I here?”

“Well, Novia called me and said you fainted at the door and wanted me to help get you to the hospital.”

Novia? Jason got frantic. He didn’t allow Johnny call her nickname! He was furious inside, but for the sake of owing him favor, he couldn’t lose temper but had to say, “Well, thank you.”

Passing out was a total humiliation for men at large and he wanted to showcase his manly power.

Johnny postured a serious thinking position and smiled.

“Well, my wording isn’t that correct exactly.”

Jason beamed, but then Johnny continued, “The fact could be you fell asleep and I endured you snoring for two hours in the ward. That’s it.”

Jason got embarrassed, thinking how impolite this Johnny was!

“Where is Novia?”

“She’s at the company.”

Johnny suddenly stood up after reading the text message in his phone.

“I have to leave now. The doctor will come later and give you drops. You can take care of yourself, right?”

Jason felt awkward and thought that of course he can take care of himself.

Jason was restless after Johnny left. He was depressed for Nova left him in the hospital alone and asked his “love rival” to take care of him. The nurse who was giving him injection was frightened by his darkened look and left right away as soon as she was done with her job.

Nova didn’t get the time to check on Jason until one o’clock in the afternoon. She felt anxious after receiving Johnny’s call. Her heart was telling her explicitly that she was worried about that man and can’t stop her action.

Nova immediately saw Jason sitting by the bedside when she opened the door.

She also noticed Jason’s cracked lips which was caused by high fever and had this strong guilt inside.

She walked over and sat on the chair lightly. Dressed in a professional suit, she was as attractive as ever.

After putting the thermal container on the desk, she whispered, “I have someone made the chicken soup. Do you want to have some?”

Her voice was incredibly soft. She seldom cared about other person’s feelings and didn’t see the need to explain herself. Jason was among the few people who got to see her soft side.

He looked up and glanced at her. He then turned around and ignored her.

Stroking her palm, Nova said, “How are you feeling now?”

The man acted like a frustrated child and didn’t say anything. But Nova didn’t ever have the experience of dealing with a child before, so after struggling for a while, she said, “I’m sorry for locking you outside yesterday.”

Her words stimulated Jason a little, but he still looked angry. He then said, “You asked Johnny to get me here?”

Nova didn’t know why he would mention Johnny, but she nodded.

Then she said, “I can’t carry you here alone.”

The man’s face darkened even more.

“Is he your good friend.”

“Yes.”

“Yes?”

The man obviously didn’t like her answer.

Nova frowned a bit and tried to explain, “We grow up together.”

“So you two are childhood sweethearts?”

The man smirked and sounded harsh.

Nova once again nodded honestly and immediately saw Jason’s darkened face. But she didn’t really know why he was angry now.

Jason stared at her and said, “What are you waiting for? Aren’t you supposed to check my temperature?”

Nova paused at first, but then she took the thermometer on the table. After finding that she wasn’t able to check his temperature herself, she handed the thermometer to the man and said, “Here you go.”

But the man just acted like a spoiled child.
