Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 398 Can We Go Out Tomorrow

Dylan conducted a thorough examination of Noah. Then, he concluded in a calm manner, "We just need to bring down his temperature. The best way to do that now is to sponge the exposed skin with lukewarm water."

"Is that enough to treat his fever? He's burning up even now." Madeline was worried that Noah's symptoms might worsen if they did not deal with it properly.

Dylan answered in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry. Noah has had no major health issues ever since he was young, except for his weak stomach. He's probably come down with a fever because of gastritis issues. After you fainted, he skipped dinner to watch over you, and that most likely triggered gastritis. You need to remind him to eat his meals regularly. It'll be too late when this turns into a serious health problem."

Good thing I'm feeling better now. I can just take care of Noah myself.

Otherwise, it'd be almost impossible to help bring down his body temperature since Noah hates having strangers touch his body. I'm sure he'll reject it even in his unconscious state.

Madeline stayed up for the rest of the night. She dampened a towel with lukewarm water and wiped Noah's body from time to time. Finally, his fever subsided when it was almost dawn. Madeline felt slightly relieved and decided to get some shut-eye.

As Noah slowly regained consciousness in the morning, he moved his arms and noticed that Madeline was no longer in bed with him. He woke up with a start and sat up right away. Then, he spotted Madeline dozing off in a chair next to the bed. When his gaze fell on the small bucket of water and towel placed on the bedside table, it dawned on him what Madeline had done for him during the night.

Noah climbed out of the bed as quietly as he could. Then, he tried to move Madeline to the bed, but she woke up as soon as he picked her up.

"Get some sleep in the bed. I'll head down to make breakfast," Noah said in a slightly croaky voice.

Madeline placed her hand against his forehead. He still has a mild fever.

"Put me down."

Noah lowered Madeline and helped her get to her feet.

Madeline gave a yawn and turned toward the door. "You should lie down in bed."

Noah caught her by the wrist. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to make some porridge." Madeline was rather disgruntled with Noah for having skipped his meal and ended up falling sick.
