Chapter 1064 Kevin Caught A Fever (Part Three)
"It''ste, Leena. What''s going on?" Shannon opened the door and was surprised to see Leena
standing outside.
"Sorry to interrupt you, Mom. Kevin is having a severe fever. I don''t know where the medical kit is."
Leena finished her words hastily with her hands rubbing anxiously.
"What? He got a fever? You can go and take care of him. I''ll ask your Dad to call the doctor from the
army. We''ll be there soon." For a while it seemed like being anxious wasmunicable and Shannon
caught it too. She already said it earlier! Her son might be strong but it wasn''t a guarantee that his body
could take a long run under that freezing rain. It was Nathan who didn''t listen to her and now Kevin was
sick!
"Yes! I see. Then I''m going back now." Her mother-inw''s words rendered Leena a little relief. It was
nice to know that she wasn''t alone as she faced the ordeal.
"Go! Don''t worry. The doctor is not far away from here. He''ll be here soon," Shannonforted her
and just as she said, the doctor dide shortly after. Leena was a bit surprised to see the doctor
arrive in such a short time. It was indeed true that every man in the army was quick to respond.
"How''s he doing? Is he alright, Dr. Pei?" Shannon asked anxiously after the doctor finished checking on
Kevin.
"Don''t worry! Major General is not that bad. He just caught a cold. I''ll have him on an intravenous drip
and get him some pills. He should be fine with these." Dr. Pei was not a young man but it was evident
that he talked to Shannon in a respectful tone. She was his superior''s wife after all.
"Tsk! Such a weakling. It''s just some rain. How did he catch a cold?" Nathan could not help murmuring
despite the relief that flooded him. He was deeply worried too upon knowing that his son was sick.
"Okay! So it is you who have a strong body. Why don''t you go out and run in the rain, Nathan?" It was
Shannon''s angry voice that replied to the man. She was even staring at him defiantly. Dr. Pei was still
there, thus, it was not appropriate for her toin against Nathan. Nheless, she couldn''t stop
herself. She had warned that Kevin did not need to be punished to run in the rain but her husband just
put a deaf ear to her suggestion. He had insisted on saying that Kevin should be a tough soldier and
should keep his words. It was all thanks to him that her son was sick.
"Don''t make a fuss. It''s just a fever, nothing serious. He''ll be fine as soon as he takes the pills. He is
just pretending to be seriously ill as if something terrible is happening to him," Nathan rebuked
Shannon as she nagged. It was just rain. Why so serious? It was justmon for him to be under the
rain when he was younger. He was not as weak as Kevin and never had he caught a cold. What
happened now just meant that Kevin needed to be trained more. It was hisck of training that caused
him to be that sick.
"You are not the one who is lying on the bed because of a fever. You''re not in the position to judge
him." Shannon was not as angry as she seemed to be at the beginning, but Nathan''s retort blew up her
fuse. She grew angrier and med him in a more serious tone.
"Don''t get angry, Dad, Mom. It''s all my fault. This wouldn''t happen if I hadn''t run away in an impulse. It
is because of me that Kevin''s sick." Leena cut through the fight with a humble apology. She felt guilty
seeing them quarrel with each other because of this. She gave them a sincere look and wished for the
conflict to stop.
Shannon opened her mouth a couple of times but then just decided to shut her mouth. She didn''t want
to see Leena depressed because of what was going on.
On the other hand, Nathan nced at Leena with an admiring look. Her action made him realize that
she was thoughtful and sensitive even though she was born and raised up in a rich family. It was
possible that he had made a mistake on stereotyping her and should start treating her better next time.
"Dr. Pei, do you need to check him more? He ran for a long time in the rain. I''m afraid there might be
someplications such as pneumonia." Leena was still extremely worried. Pneumonia and fever
always got her in abo whenever she was sick. She was worried Kevin might be in the same
situation.
"Take it easy! I''ve already checked carefully. The Major General is fine. It''s just a fever. His temperature
should go down soon as he finishes having his ivy drip." Dr. Pei was patient enough to exin to
Leena. He paid more attention to her as he talked. He found Leena really thoughtful from what he just
heard earlier though he dared not to interrupt with their family affair.
"Oh! Thank you so much," Leena said in a grateful tone. She reached out to touch Kevin''s forehead.
He was still hot but his condition was way better than before.
"You are wee. I''ll get him some medicine. He can take some after he wakes up." A mild smile
appeared on Dr. Pei''s face before he got busy with his medical kit.
"Yes! I see," was Leena''s reply. It was only then that she finally managed to smile sweetly since Kevin
got sick. She looked extremely happy and delightful.
"Okay. I''ve noted the way and time of taking the medicine. Just follow it. I''ll wait until he finishes the
drip." Dr. Pei handed the medicine over to Leena and emphasized the way to take the medicine. He
was afraid that she might ignore the note.
"Since everything''s all good, let''s have a cup of tea downstairs, Dr. Pei. It''s going to take some time for

the drip." Shannon smiled and invited Dr. Pei enthusiastically. It was undeniable that the woman was a
part of Nathan''s sess. He partially owed his high position to her as she had always been a wife who
could deal with various people and supported him from behind.
