James Black had already dressed and gone to wash up, while she was still struggling on the bed.
As she lifted the quilt, a cold breeze hit.
She snuggled back in, turning to glance out the window, imagining the chilly wind outside, and shivered again.
James Black finished washing and came out of the bathroom, seeing a small lump on the bed shaking, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.
"Itās time to get up." James Black tapped Jane Sampsonās head through the quilt.
She had this annoying habit of burying herself completely under the quilt, not willing to expose even a strand of hair.
"I donāt want to get up~" Jane Sampson coughed twice and then slowly lifted the quilt, looking at James with red eyes, "I feel like Iām sick, my head hurts a lot."
James Black immediately got anxious, sat directly on the bedās edge, and reached out to feel Jane Sampsonās forehead.
Her body temperature seemed fine, so James asked, "Where are you uncomfortable?"
"Throat feels a bit itchy, headache, the temples hurt intermittently, like something is drilling hard inside," Jane said, "Maybe I caught a cold from the morningās chill a few days ago, and didnāt rest well last night, thatās why."
"Very painful?" James Black asked gently, rubbing Janeās temple with his fingertips.
Seeing her red eyes, she looked so pitiful and miserable, James felt a bit distressed and guilty, wondering if he hadnāt taken care of her well enough.
"Yes, very painful." Jane Sampson nodded.
"Put on some clothes; Iāll take you to the hospital." James got up and went to the cloakroom to fetch Janeās clothes.
"Hey~"
"!!!!"
Jane watched Jamesās back, feeling truly anxious as she called out to him to no avail.
Go to the hospital?
No way!
If she goes, the doctor will surely send her back home!
"James, I just have a little cold and didnāt rest well last night, Iāll drink plenty of hot water and sleep for a while, then Iāll be fine." Jane hastily sat up.
"A minor cold can get better with some medicine, but headaches should not be overlooked." James took Janeās clothes and walked out, "You slept well last night, the headache isnāt because of bad sleep, so going to the hospital for a check-up is more reassuring."
James walked to the bedās edge, saying, "Have some blood taken, get an X-ray, let the doctor examine if thereās another cause."
Jane Sampson dodged to the side, anxiously scratching the back of her head.
What to do?
Really go to the hospital and then sheepishly get sent back home?
"I wonāt go~ Iāll just lie at home for a bit and Iāll be fine." Jane shook her head repeatedly, "I know my body, really just lying down for a bit is enough."
"Hurting like that, you must go to the hospital," James said, "Youāve never had headaches like this before, sudden headaches absolutely cannot be ignored, listen to me, have it checked at the hospital, for your peace of mind and mine."
After saying this, seeing that Jane was still holding the quilt and not moving, he frowned, "Youāre not afraid to take medicine, having blood drawn isnāt all that painful either, itās in the physical every year, and youāre not afraid, why the reluctance to go to the hospital?"
"I just wonāt go." Jane shook her head, then pushed James lightly, "You go for your run, Iāll just sleep for a while and Iāll be okay."
Seeing he couldnāt persuade Jane, James went straight for the tough approach.
He dressed Jane in her clothes, and then directly picked her up from the bed.
