Charlie shook his head. His voice sounded hoarse as he said, “I’m fine…”

Without waiting for him to finish, I reached up and touched his forehead, which was burning up. He had a fever.

Charlie was slightly stunned when I suddenly touched his forehead. He hesitated for a

Getting a fever at this moment was indeed dangerous. I looked at Inch and said, “He has a fever.”

Inch reacted more nervously than I did. He suddenly stood up, too agitated to say much, and rushed out of the cave entrance. When he returned, he was carrying a first–aid kit. He knelt down beside Charlie, saying, “Sir, I’ll prepare some medicine for you.”

As Inch reached out to offer Charlie the medicine, something inexplicable happened. Charlie’s face suddenly changed, and he pushed Inch’s hand away, his voice turning cold as he said, “No need.”

I was startled by this unexpected reaction and looked back and forth between Charlie and Inch. Inch still appeared concerned, but Charlie seemed to have realized that his reaction was excessive. He glanced at me and said, “I’m fine.”

Then he turned to Inch and instructed, “Prepare a comfortable place for Ms. Scott to rest.”

I frowned. It was quite late, and he was still concerned about me resting. I insisted, “I’m not tired, but you have a fever. You need to take some medicine!”
