“Hey! The thermometer (温度计) reading shows 39℃ !” shouted Lily.

“What? This is critical right?” questioned Bella as she touched Emily’s forehead. “You are burning now. How do you feel?” she continued. “Terrible,” replied Emily with a weak voice.

Lily said, “I’ll get her some medicine from the doctor and a sound sleep will help her get better I guess.”

Emily, Bella, Lily and Anna were roommates and friends. These four were always together. But Emily and Anna were much closer to each other. As Emily’s father passed away when she was 12 and lived only with her mother, she just considered Anna her family. So although Emily was surrounded by Lily and Bella, she needed Anna by her side. However, to her great disappointment, Anna wasn’t there.

“Where is Anna? Where has she gone?” asked Emily.

“She rushed out just now. But she didn’t tell us where she went,” replied Bella.

Hearing Bella’s words, Emily started to feel angry towards her friend. She had fever and was in pain. How could she just went out without any explanation? She started thinking Anna was selfish and decided not to talk to her any more.

In the evening, Anna finally returned. But Emily just refused to talk to her until her mother called to ask about her health.

“How are you feeling, my dear?” asked Emily’s mother.

“I’m much better now mom. But how do you know I’m having a fever?” Emily didn’t know why her mother had known her illness.

“I called you this morning. I fell off the ladder when I was trying to repair the roof, but you didn’t answer. Then I called Anna and told her what had happened. She said you were asleep because of the fever. And she just rushed to our house and took me to the hospital. But don’t worry, the doctor had checked me. There is nothing serious and I just need some rest.”
