Need You Now

The mountain at night was a little cold, and it was raining, so the temperature kept lowering. Hearst wasn't able to wear any of his clothes since they were soaked in the rain. He got a cold in the heavily rain, and his body temperature rose. With the dim light, Heidy noticed that there was something wrong with his face.

She stretched out her hand and placed it on his forehead. With a serious look on her face, she asked, "Do you have a fever?"

With a heavy head, Hearst replied in a low and hoarse voice, "It doesn't matter. I'll be all right soon."

"Dad has a fever. What should we do, mom? Dad, do you bring any medicine with you?"

Hearst shook his head and said with a smile, "No. I didn't expect that I'm so fragile."

These days, in order to distract himself, he had spent most of his time on work. He was too tired to bear the pressure. So he caught a cold after getting wet in the rain, and now he was frozen in the night. It was impossible for him not to have a fever under such torment.

Heidy looked inside. She said to Gavin, "Gavin, take your daddy inside. It is warmer there. I am going to look around to see if there is a washbasin." Then she searched around the cabin.

Gavin followed her order and took Hearst to a warmer place. She got a bowl from the corner, went outside the wooden house. She stretched out her hands out in the rain, and the rainwater trickled from the eaves and dripped in the bowl. After a while, she returned to the room. The room had fire and it was not so cold as outside.

Hearst happened to have several disposable towels in his bag. she dipped the towel in the bowl and wrung the water, and wiped gently on Hearst's body. Seeing her serious look, Hearst's eyes flashed with a strange light. With a heavy mind, he said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Heidy halted and spoke in a calm tone, "Don't thank me. I don't want Gavin to lose his father."

Hearing her words, he wore a faint smile on his face. Seeing her gently movement, he couldn't help but look at her in the eyes. Slowly, he felt a little sleepy. He felt dizzy because of the fever. So Heidy found a warm spot, so he could have a rest.

Hearst lied on the ground with his eyes closed and his lips tightly pressed together. Seeing his poor face, Heidy sighed slightly. She stood up and walked quietly to the door. Standing in the cold wind under the eaves, she went to take the rainwater again.

When she went back inside the hut, she only heard Hearst muttering something to himself. "Are you okay?" With a worried look on her face, Heidy walked up to him and put her hand on his forehead to check his temperature. But her hand was a little cold since it dipped in frigid rainwater just now. So she leaned forward with her forehead against his.
