Chapter 613 Shawn Falls Unconscious

I returned to the boulder. Forty minutes later, Shawn came back. I noticed him trudging along. He had been moving slowly, and I knew he was just holding on out of sheer will. After he sat, I asked, "Are you hungry?"

I had been asking him the same question many times, but his answer was always the same. "No. Let's get some rest early tonight."

I knew he hadn't eaten anything, but he wouldn't touch my food. I knew no amount of persuasion would work on him, so I decided to wait. We'll run into some people tomorrow. If not, we'll…

A few minutes later, Shawn fell asleep in my embrace. Only after that did I have a sausage and some biscuits. I looked at the time. I wonder when Anthony's coming. What's taking him so long?

Shawn had a fitful sleep. When I opened my eyes, I heard him talking in his sleep. "Your psychological tricks won't work on me."

Psychological tricks? What does he mean? I touched his forehead. "He's having a fever."

I quickly took out a heat pack and put it on his torso, then I uncapped the milk and fed half of it to him. After that, I tore the bread up and soaked it in the remaining milk, feeding him when it was soggy enough. Before that, I flipped him around and tried to take his shirt off, but he frowned the moment I touched him. He's in pain. So, I stopped. Shawn didn't wake up even after all the food I fed him. He couldn't eat while he was unconscious, so I fed him mouth-to-mouth.

My worries kept me up the whole night. When Shawn woke the next day, he said, "You're early."

"Can't sleep."

He stared at the bottle of milk in silence. I got up and extended my hand. "Let's go."

Shawn paused for a moment before taking my hand. He was obviously in a bad condition as he was moving even slower than before. I walked ahead of him, trying my best to pretend I didn't notice.
