Chapter 321: with translation of chapter title
321. Chapter 321 Vague unease 9
After taking the temperature, the doctor's diagnosis: fever, rising to 39 degrees, throat inflamed……
No wonder I felt dazed and desirous all over, and I even slept a whole day.
"I'll prescribe some medicine, then give a shot of liquid medicine, hang an IV drip and you'll be fine. It's flu now, you need to take care of your body, can't get chilled again, understand?" the doctor said while writing the prescription.
I nodded at him, didn't speak, and didn't know whether the doctor had seen.
After the prescription was ready, Shangguan Yun took the slip to the pharmacy; as it turned out, the doctor dispensing medicine brought several IV bags, big and small, and also took a small syringe—would he still need to give a buttock injection?
The thing I feared most was this. When Shangguan Yun took the medicine and was heading to the injection room, I gently tugged at his sleeve and said, "Can we skip the buttock injection? I'm afraid of the pain." After saying that I looked at him pitifully, thinking Shangguan Yun would surely feel sorry for me, and then, with a change of heart, I wouldn't need the shot.
I remember when I was little, once I got sick, Lao Ma took me to get a shot, that buttock injection; back then I hardly ever went to the hospital, just to a small clinic. When I saw the syringe, I turned and ran, crying as I ran. Lao Ma didn't catch me, and I ran desperately, but a bothersome passerby saw me and actually stopped me, and thus Lao Ma forcibly dragged me back. At that time I hated that person intensely, and Lao Ma kept saying thank you, thank you.
I told Shangguan Yun about this, but he had no sympathy at all and even made fun of me; I wish I hadn't told him.
When we reached the injection room, the nurse told me to lift my clothing a bit and sit on the stool, and that would be fine.
The nurse seemed to be in a bad mood, giving me a stern look. Then she glanced at Shangguan Yun as well, speaking to us in a cold tone.
Seeing the nurse like that, I didn't dare to breathe loudly; it really hurt, but I still didn't dare to groan, just tightly furrowing my brows.
Just after the buttock injection was given, I still had to hang an IV drip, watching the nurse fussing with the medicine.
"It hurts so much." I whispered while standing beside Shangguan Yun.
