In My Desperate Time

“Frances!”

I try to call out to him again, but he is still frozen like a statue.

At that moment, a thought occurs to me. Is he dead for some reason?

“Frances, don’t scare me like that.”

I go over and lie on top of him while sticking my ear to his chest. When I hear a throbbing not far away, my worried heart can finally relax.

“Get off me. Even if I’m not dead, I will be dead because of your weight.”

Frances complains in a low voice, but I can sense a fatigue in his voice.

Besides, even though he’s wearing something, I can feel that his body temperature is abnormally high.

Why is his body scorching like he is shrouded in flames?

I touch his forehead, and it is as hot as touching a boiling kettle.

“You have high fever.”

I disclose the news to him worriedly.
