Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 77

“Oh no, she has a fever.”

Lu Ting slapped his forehead, feeling a bit at a loss.

Sheng Fei suddenly developed a fever, leaving Lu Ting unsure of what to do.

Lu Ting called out to Sheng Fei a few times, and finally Sheng Fei responded and opened her heavy eyelids.

“Can you hear me? Sheng Fei.”

Lu Ting kept patting Sheng Fei’s cheeks, but Sheng Fei just opened her eyes briefly before closing them again, as if she had no strength to get up.

Lu Ting felt a bit troublesome, so he hurried to his room to look for some fever-reducing medicine.

Normally, everyone at home would have some common medicines on hand.

While looking for the medicine, Lu Ting happened to see a thermometer, so he brought that over as well. But because his feet were inconvenient, he walked with a limp.

The commotion woke up the few children. They quickly put on their clothes.

Zhang Huzi and Lu Da saw Lu Ting get up and came running to his side.

“Uncle, why did you get up? Are you looking for something? I can help you get it.”

“Uncle Lu, I can help too. I’m strong and can get anything you need.”

Seeing the two children there, Lu Ting finally felt relieved.

He handed the medicine and thermometer to Lu Da and Zhang Huzi.

“Sheng Fei seems to have a fever. Huzi, you should help measure Sheng Fei’s temperature to see if she really has a fever and how high it is.”

Although Zhang Huzi was not very experienced in these matters, caring for sick adults was not too difficult for him.

Zhang Huzi happily agreed. After measuring Sheng Fei’s temperature, he found that she was running a fever of 38 degrees Celsius.

Now it was not just a matter of taking medicine, they needed to use cooling methods.

Lu Da followed Lu Ting’s instructions to prepare a damp towel and place it on Sheng Fei’s forehead to help lower her fever.

After going back and forth a few times over several hours, Sheng Fei’s temperature finally came down, and it was already afternoon.

Since Sheng Fei was too sick to cook, Zhang Huzi made the meals for breakfast and lunch.

Zhang Huzi often helped his parents cook at home, so this was no problem for him.

The food Zhang Huzi cooked was ordinary, but at least it was edible.

Lu Ting felt a bit embarrassed. He didn’t expect that Zhang Huzi had to do all the work.

But Zhang Huzi was happy because he was able to help Sheng Fei.

“Thank you so much, Huzi. I planned to invite you to our home as a guest, but unexpectedly I’ve had you, a guest, come and cook for us.”

“No need to be so polite, Uncle Lu. I do this kind of thing at home all the time. My mom always tells me to be quick and helpful when I go to other people’s homes.”

Zhang Huzi puffed out his chest, looking very capable.

Lu Ting smiled at him. Lu Ting began to really take a liking to this little guy, Zhang Huzi.

Lu Ting was initially puzzled as to why Sheng Fei had brought Zhang Huzi to their home, but now he understood.

This young man was capable and sensible, which really made people feel worry.

By the afternoon, Sheng Fei’s fever finally went down, much to everyone’s relief.

Sheng Fei wearily opened her eyes, feeling like her head weighed a ton. She noticed the damp towel on her forehead and that it had gone lukewarm.

In a hoarse voice, she asked, “What happened to me?”

Zhang Huzi happened to be by Sheng Fei’s side. His bright little eyes were shining. Seeing Sheng Fei awake, he grinned happily.
