Chapter 734 Forty-Two Degrees Celsius
She was running a fever, and the temperature was very high. Just by touching her, Grace could tell it
was over 40 degrees Celsius!
Grace immediately reached out and shook her shoulder, “Evelyn, Evelyn?”
Being shaken made Evelyn feel uncomfortable, and she finally woke up from her nightmare, opening
her eyes in a daze. The morning light wasn’t actually glaring, but it felt unbearable to her.
It wasn’t because of the light itself, but rather the discomfort. caused by the high fever and other
symptoms.
Although she was awake, her consciousness was clearly unclear. Grace applied a physical cooling
patch to her forehead, gave her a fever-reducing medicine, and eventually called emergency services.
The waiting time felt agonizing, even though it was only a little over ten minutes. Grace was still
anxious and restless.
Her temperature was burning too high, and the fever-reducing medicine had no effect on her.
Although fever is not a severe illness, such a high temperature can still cause many complications,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsuch as pneumonia,
pulmonary edema, meningitis, and more.
Grace was extremely worried and anxious, but apart from changing the towels, there was little else she
could do.
Fortunately, the ambulance arrived relatively quickly. A nurse brought a wheelchair, and together they
placed Evelyn in it and pushed her into the elevator, then transferred her to the ambulance.
Grace didn’t even have time to change out of her pajamas. She hastily threw on a coat and hurriedly
followed them to the hospital.
The nearest hospital was the Royal Hospital in Jewel City. On the way, as Evelyn’s fever was extremely
high, a nurse administered a small dose of fever-reducing intravenous drip.
Upon arrival at the hospital, they conducted a complete blood test, various laboratory tests, and
physical examinations. When Grace saw the number on the thermometer, she was almost stunned.
Forty-Two degrees.
In Grace’s understanding, a fever above 39 degrees Celsius was already considered high, and once it
exceeded forty degrees Celsius, people would start to delirious and even experience. hallucinations.
Seeing the value of 42 degrees Celsius was something she had never witnessed before.
Clearly, the doctor was also taken aback. While preparing the medication for the intravenous drip, the
doctor couldn’t help but admonish Grace, “Why didn’t you bring her in earlier? If her
temperature had reached 43 degrees Celsius, it would have been critical!”
Hearing this, Grace was frightened, “She didn’t have a fever before going to bed last night. I just found
out this morning.”
“That’s unexpected. When someone is running a fever to this extent, they can’t even speak. When a
person is feeling unwell, they must be closely monitored. We can’t be careless. A high fever is not a
trivial matter. You’ll see, besides the fever, there are likely other complications as well,” The female
doctor sighed, “For now, you can stay by her side. If you have any questions, feel free to call us.”
Grace quickly agreed and sat by the bedside in the emergency room, watching the woman with a pallid
and even slightly bluish complexion. She couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
She stayed there, silently watching. In the meantime, Bert called twice, but she didn’t answer. When he
called again, she took her phone and went outside to the corridor, answering politely, “Hello, Mr.
Harper?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing the unfamiliar female voice, Bert paused for a moment, as if searching his memory for
any impression of the voice, “Who is that?”
“I’m Grace Glenn, a friend of Evelyn’s.”
“Where is she?”
“Evelyn?” Grace smoothly recited the prepared excuse she had prepared before answering the call,
“Her phone was left with me yesterday, and she said she’d come to pick it up after she’s done
with her work.’
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the other end of the line.
Afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, Grace’s heart tightened anxiously. “Mr. Harper, are you still there?”
“Yes.” Bert’s voice was devoid of emotion, very formal, and difficult to gauge his current thoughts,
“Please do me a favor, Ms. Glenn, ask Evelyn to contact me when she can.”
Grace let out a sigh of relief. “Alright, no problem. Goodbye.”
After hanging up the phone, a young nurse in a white uniform approached from nearby, “Go and collect
the blood test report, it’s time.”
Not wanting to delay, Grace hurriedly went to the self-service machine to retrieve the report. It
displayed various medical terms and values that she couldn’t quite comprehend, so she handed it
directly to the female doctor she had spoken to earlier.
