?Chapter 342: Chapter 343 Search (5)_1 Chapter 342: Chapter 343 Search (5)_1 Liang Chen hurriedly pulled over, flung the car door open, and quickly walked towards Jing Haohao.
Jing Haohao heard footsteps behind her and turned her head reflexively. Before she could see who it was, she felt a coat being draped over her shoulders.
Smelling the familiar scent on the coat, Jing Haohao realized it was Liang Chen. Wanting to leave, she turned around, only to find Liang Chen had already grabbed and lifted her up. He strode back to the car, flung the door open, and hastily thrust Jing Haohao inside.
As soon as Liang Chen entered the car, he rolled up the windows and turned the heater up to the maximum.
The snowflakes covering Jing Haohao rapidly melted into water.
Liang Chen reached back, grabbed a blanket from the back seat, flung it onto Jing Haohao, and vigorously rubbed it against her. Afterward, he wrapped her up tightly within it.
Looking at Jing Haohao, Liang Chen said nothing, immediately turned the car around, stepped on the gas, and swiftly returned to the villa.
Nanny Lin was waiting at the front door. Seeing Liang Chen’s car approach, she ran up to greet them, “Mr. Chen, did you find Miss Jing?”
Liang Chen nodded his head and drove directly into the villa.
After parking the car, Liang Chen carried a soaking Jing Haohao from the car and started walking towards the house. At the same time, he instructed Nanny Lin, who had followed them from the front gate, “Prepare some soup to warm her up.”
Liang Chen carried Jing Haohao straight up to the bathroom, put her in the bathtub, and turned on all the faucets, letting the hot water pour down on her from all directions.
When the hot water hit her, it took a long while for Jing Haohao to regain some sense. However, the comfort was short-lived before she felt a prickling heat spreading throughout her body. By then, she felt her entire body was on fire and extremely uncomfortable. She couldn’t help attempting to stand up in the bathtub.
“What are you doing?” Liang Chen saw her getting up and subconsciously reached out to hold her shoulder. To his surprise, her skin burned hot to the touch.
Liang Chen retracted his hand in shock and quickly placed it on her forehead, only to have Jing Haohao suddenly go limp and collapse into the bathtub.
Hastily, Liang Chen pulled her out of the bathtub, frantically removed her wet clothing, dried her body with a towel, wrapped her tightly in a bathrobe, and rushed out of the bathroom, calling out loudly for Nanny Lin.
Nanny Lin, holding the freshly brewed ginger soup, rushed upstairs. Seeing her, Liang Chen quickly pointed to the table and instructed her to put down the soup. Then he promptly said, “Call Doctor Zhang and get him over here now.”
…
Jing Haohao’s fever got worse. Eventually, she broke out in cold sweat, dampening her bedding.
As Liang Chen wiped the sweat off her forehead and felt her rising temperature, he realized that Jing Haohao, who had initially been unconscious, started to deliriously mutter to herself due to the high fever.
Watching this scenario, Liang Chen grew even more anxious. Unable to help himself, he again asked Nanny Lin, somewhat curtly, “Give them a call and ask where Doctor Zhang is. Wasn’t he supposed to arrive soon? Why isn’t he here yet?”
