Since Richard was always strict about discipline, he wouldn't allow Shirley to act
recklessly.
“Alright! Since you're free over there, take good care of Zacharias. Ensure he
makes a swift recovery, as he's needed to assist your great- uncle with work
matters.” He supported his daughter’s decision.
“Yeah, I know, Dad.”
“Your mom would like to speak with you for a moment.”
After Richard finished speaking, a gentle voice came through. “Shirley.” “Mom,
what's up?” Shirley felt a sudden rush of nervousness. Her mother wouldn't start
prying, would she?
“Nothing. I heard you volunteered to look after Zacharias in the hospital. I was a
bit surprised. Are you two just friends?”
“Yes, we're just friends.” Shirley began to feel uneasy.
“Just friends?” Angela wasn't entirely convinced. As a woman, her intuition told
her that her daughter's proactive care for Zacharias went beyond mere
friendship.
“Mom, it's just friendship. Please don’t jump to conclusions,” Shirley said
seriously, wanting to put an end to her mother’s wild speculations.
“Alright, it's clear that you've grown up, become responsible, and know how to
care for people.” Angela let the matter rest.
“Mom, I'll hang up now. Take care of yourselves!” After speaking, Shirley hung up
the phone, letting out a small sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, at the base’s lounge, Angela hung up her phone. She asked her
husband, “Could our girl actually like Zacharias?”
Richard understood his wife's implication and asked with a smile, “Is that a
problem?”
“Of course not; it's not a problem at all. I'm just saying, our girl is still so young,
but her taste seems pretty good.” She couldn't help but feel that their daughter
was quite fortunate. Everything seemed very promising when she considered
Zacharias’ looks, family background, and prospects.
“Well then, let's look forward to it! It's about time for our girl to venture out on her
own. We can't protect her forever,” Richard said. Angela also smiled. They only
had this one precious daughter, and they had high hopes for her future.
Shirley sat outside and chatted with Freddie, discussing their recent business
trip. After learning her identity, he was cautious about sensitive topics, but
otherwise, they had an open conversation.
They talked about regional development and current affairs, and before they
knew it, two hours had passed.
She went in to check on Zacharias from time to time. When she went in again,
she suddenly noticed his face was slightly flushed, and he was sweating
profusely on his forehead. When she wiped the sweat, she discovered he had a
dangerously high fever. She muttered, This is bad! He has a high fever.
Shirley pressed the nurse call button and went to the doctor’s office. The doctor
immediately came to check on Zacharias.
“Immediately start physical cooling for Mr. Flintstone,” the doctor said.
At this moment, Zacharias, who had been sleeping all this time, woke up. The
high fever made the corners of his eyes slightly red. His voice was hoarse as he
asked, “What's wrong with me?”
“You suddenly developed a high fever. Right now, we'll start with physical cooling
for you,” the doctor explained.
