within Temptation

Chapter 223 Illness
In a blink of an eye, it's December again.The weather is already very cold, and this time of year is the time for snow in winter.But for some reason, the first snow of this year has not come down yet.

I was wearing a thick overcoat, breathing white gas from my mouth, and hurried to the company.When I rushed to the company building, I quickly took out my phone to check the time.Fortunately, it was only 6 minutes before nine o'clock, so I was not late at all.

At about five o'clock this morning, my sister suddenly called, saying that Liangliang had a high fever, and asked me to rush over to help send her to the hospital for treatment.I was shocked when I heard that, knowing that my brother-in-law was away on a business trip for the past two days, and my sister was alone, and sending the child to the hospital would definitely be in a hurry.So, without further ado, I quickly got up and took a taxi and went straight to my sister's house. I hugged my nephew Liangliang, and rushed to the hospital with my sister to see a doctor.

The child's illness is not a serious illness, but a high fever caused by a cold and inflammation of the tonsils.This kind of cold weather makes it easy to get sick.Children don't know how to be hot and cold, so they sweat out playing outside, and when they come back, they take off two clothes and catch a cold.

Children have a high fever, and the temperature is generally very high.The doctor measured it with an anal meter, good guy, it was 39 degrees five, my sister was so scared that she turned pale, wanted to cry, and kept complaining that she didn't take good care of the child.But this high fever came and went quickly.After hanging two bottles of medicine, I basically retreated.By the time my mother took care of Yingying and rushed to the hospital, the child's condition was under control.

However, this busyness almost caused me to be late for work in the morning.After returning from the hospital with the child, I asked my mother to stay and take care of Liangliang with my sister, while I rushed directly to the company to work.

After entering the building, I panted and quickened my pace to the elevator.At this time, most of the companies in the building, who should come to work, have come.There were very few people waiting for the elevator downstairs, and there was only one person standing there waiting in front of the doors of the two elevators.

At first I didn't pay attention to who the person waiting for the elevator was, but when I walked behind her and saw her familiar back, I suddenly realized that she was Tang Xiaoru, the boss of our company.

Now, I'm a little embarrassed.Although I'm not late, but these days, my relationship with Tang Xiaoru is really not what it used to be.It's not that she is intentionally indifferent to me, but the previous intimacy has long since disappeared.Plain, at best, the relationship between an ordinary boss and an employee.

Seeing her standing in front of the elevator, for a while, I didn't know whether I should say hello to her.After hesitating for a moment, he simply stood behind her silently without saying a word.

The elevator hadn't come down yet. I looked up and saw that the indicator light at the moment also showed that the elevator was on the seventh floor.Tang Xiaoru didn't seem to notice that I was standing behind her, but stood quietly facing the elevator door.Suddenly, I saw her shoulders shrugged, and after a slight cough, she immediately raised her left hand to cover her mouth.

My heart moved, and I said without thinking, "Boss Tang?"

Hearing my voice, Tang Xiaoru froze for a moment, then turned her head immediately.I saw her left hand circled against her nose and mouth, her expression seemed to be enduring something.His face was a little haggard, and he looked out of spirits.

Seeing it was me, Tang Xiaoru blinked her eyes, nodded slightly to me, put down her left hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Morning!"

I watched her face carefully, and said worriedly: "Mr. Tang, your complexion is not very good, are you sick?"

Although my relationship with her is not as close as before, in my heart, Tang Xiaoru is still my friend.Besides, even if we are no longer friends, as a subordinate, we should care about and greet the boss, so I asked directly without thinking too much.

Tang Xiaoru didn't speak, just looked at me silently, and then turned her face away.I thought she didn't want to talk to me, but she said calmly: "Dai Yong, you always come to work early, why are you so late today?"

I hurriedly picked up my phone and checked the time again, and found that it was still 5 minutes before nine o'clock, so I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm sorry, my sister's child suddenly had a high fever this morning. I rushed to the hospital to help, so I came late." a little bit."

"Oh? Really? How's the kid?"

I said: "It's nothing serious, it's just a bit of wind and cold, which caused inflammation of the tonsils. I hung up two bottles of medicine, and the fever has subsided."

Speaking of which, the elevator had already descended to the first floor, and after a ding, the door slowly opened.Tang Xiaoru stepped into the elevator, just turned around, suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, and then coughed lightly.

At this moment, I also realized that Tang Xiaoru was really sick, so I hurried into the elevator and said with concern: "Mr. Tang, are you okay? If not, go to the hospital."

Tang Xiaoru held back her cough, shook her hands at me, and said, "It's okay, I just caught a cold, don't worry about it so much."

The elevator door closed again, and I quickly pressed the button for the sixth floor.It's just that Tang Xiaoru didn't pay much attention to my concerns, so I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.All the way up the elevator slowly, Tang Xiaoru stopped talking to me.After a while, when she reached the sixth floor, as soon as the door opened, she went out first.

Looking at the back of her hurrying away, I sighed deeply in my heart.Once upon a time, she and I were such close friends.Even some of my own privacy can be honest.But now... alas!

My heart was filled with a touch of melancholy, and after sighing for a while, I walked to my office and started my day's work.In the afternoon, because there was an order budget that required Tang Xiaoru's signature and approval, I took the list and came to the door of the general manager's office.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, there was a violent coughing sound from inside.My heart tightened, thinking that Tang Xiaoru's illness is so serious, why is she still working and not going to the hospital?
I became even more worried, raised my hand and knocked on the door, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Tang, I'm Dai Yong!"

The coughing inside suddenly stopped, and then Tang Xiaoru's hoarse voice came: "Come in!"

I opened the door and went in, and saw Tang Xiaoru sitting behind the desk with a thick pile of materials in front of her.Her complexion seemed to be getting worse, and her already fair cheeks were even paler now.

I felt distressed for no reason, took two steps hastily, and said, "Mr. Tang, your complexion is so bad, I think it's still..."

Before I could finish speaking, Tang Xiaoru raised her hand and made a gesture to stop me from continuing.Then he looked at me and said calmly, "What's the matter with you?"

I could only stop depressed, and sighed in my heart, then I picked up the list in my hand and handed it over, "Oh, that's right, here is a budget for ordering office supplies this month, take a look, if No problem, just sign."

Tang Xiaoru hummed, reached out to take it, put it on the table and looked at it carefully.After a while, she nodded and said, "That's about it, I think it's okay!"

As she spoke, she picked up a pen, scribbled and signed her name on the form, then picked it up and handed it back to me.As soon as I stretched out my hand, I suddenly saw her raise her other hand, cover her mouth, turn her head and coughed violently again.After coughing, she sat on the chair and bent over, her whole face was flushed red due to the exertion.

I was suddenly shocked and angry, what is Tang Xiaoru doing?You are so sick, why are you still working here?no!Whether she likes it or not, let her go to the hospital immediately!
