Chapter 263

"Assistant Zhang's photography skills are comparable to a professional photographer's. We just finished discussing tomorrow's itinerary, and he said there's a coconut grove that's especially beautiful for photos. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's itinerary."

Seeing Qiao Muting checking the camera, Shu Xia immediately said.

Qiao Muting raised an eyebrow; was he not included in this?

The itinerary was quite lovely, and the photos were taken well, it was just that he alone had been excluded.

"Is... is there something the matter?" Shu Xia asked, looking at his deep, cold profile in confusion.

Qiao Muting's mood swings over the past two days were truly impossible to fathom.

"It's nothing," Qiao Muting said in a cold, indifferent tone.

It carried a sense of thick detachment.

Shu Xia did not ask any further.

Nothing was as important as enjoying good food and filling her stomach first; as for the rest, she would face it after eating.

Twenty minutes later, the two finished their meal and got into a business van.

Qiao Muting was reticent on the road and didn't say much.

Shu Xia was tactful and didn't take the initiative to say anything.

There were many orders on Taobao, and combined with the orders she hadn't finished processing last night, she had to handle them all now.

Halfway through processing them, she suddenly felt waves of pain coming from her stomach.

It hurt so much that sweat immediately broke out on her forehead.

Qiao Muting keenly sensed Shu Xia's abnormality, "Are you not feeling well?"

"My stomach hurts... I need to go to the restroom," Shu Xia said, her voice trembling from the pain.

Could it be diarrhea from not adjusting to the local environment?

Of all things to fear, it had to happen...

She urgently needed a restroom right now.

Qiao Muting had the driver stop the car in front of a hotel, went inside, and booked a room directly.

After Shu Xia entered the restroom, she couldn't get back up.

Half an hour later, she walked out of the restroom with a deathly pale face, her entire body weak as if she had collapsed.

"Let's go, we're going to the hospital." Qiao Muting walked over and supported Shu Xia; he had already made arrangements with the hospital.

Shu Xia nodded weakly.

She felt as if she had a fever, her head heavy and her feet light.

An hour later, Shu Xia was lying on a hospital bed receiving an IV drip.

She felt groggy due to the fever and diarrhea.

Looking at Qiao Muting, who was keeping watch by her side, Shu Xia felt a bit guilty, "I can manage on my own. It's already eleven o'clock at night, you should go back to the hotel to rest first."

Qiao Muting looked at her with dark eyes, as if he were scrutinizing something.

"No need, I can rest here." Qiao Muting's voice was thin and cold, yet his actions made one's heart feel warm.

He sat on a small sofa, which made the sofa look even smaller, and his long legs had nowhere to rest.

There weren't many large hospitals in K City, and this hospital's facilities were already considered quite good.

Shu Xia said thank you weakly.

She didn't say the rest of her thoughts; Qiao Muting was taking care of her today, and when Qiao Muting got sick in the future, she would take care of him too.

While she was sleeping groggily.

It seemed Qiao Muting received a phone call.

Likely afraid of disturbing her, he went outside the door to answer it.
