The Bound Between Us

Chapter 599

Anastasia was burning up with fever, shivering one moment and sweating the next.

Panicking, Salma rushed to find Dr. James. "Dr. James, you have to come quickly! Ana suddenly has a high fever."

"Stay calm, I'm on it," James assured her.

Anastasia drifted in and out of consciousness, sometimes feeling freezing and other times burning hot.

James took her temperature with a thermometer. "39.5°C. We need to bring her fever down fast. Aunt Salma, do we have any fever reducers? Check the medicine cabinet, second shelf. It's labeled. Hurry!" "Right away," Salma replied, hurrying off to get the medication.

As soon as Salma left, James checked Anastasia's pulse and his expression turned serious. He let go of her wrist, went to the bathroom, and soaked a towel in cold water. Returning, he gently placed the towel on Anastasia's forehead to cool her down. "Dr. James, I got the medicine," Salma said, coming back with the pills. "Is it this one, ibuprofen?"

"That won't be necessary," James said, putting the pills aside. "In Anastasia's condition, she can't take any fever reducers. Aunt Salma, could you prepare some warm water? We need to sponge her down to reduce the fever. I'll go grab some cooling patches." Salma was confused. "Why can't she take the medicine?"
