Chapter 23 - Sharing Body Temperature

Seeing Vino knock over made Vira pull the door to her room.

"Oh my God, what happened to you!" She screamed frantically with a worried face.

"I hope you're not fooling this time!" She muttered, she placed her head against Vino's chest, checking her husband's heartbeat.

A whisper came from Vino's lips which were getting shakier.

Vira tried to lift her husband's back, pulled Vino's body on his armpits. She gave all her strength.

The sound of her breathing was heavy when she managed to land her husband's on the couch.

"He's very heavy .. "murmured Vira brushing her forehead.

"Mom ..." Muttering, Vino frequently called out to his mother in a faint voice.

"Vino... "She called her husband. She could see the sweat running down her husband's forehead.

"what should I do now?" Asked Vira confused.

She tried to remember emergency help from a sick friend at school. She looked at her husband's face, which was wet with sweat. Her hands raised, she let out a heavy sigh.

Vira's fingers trembled, in the end, she forced herself to unbutton her husband's shirt one by one.

"Besides, this isn't the first time I've taken off his clothes," Vira whispered encouraging herself to stay calm.

She unbuttoned Vino's shirt one by one until the shirt opened and uncovered Vino's wet abdominal muscles.

Vira was stunned for a moment. Until she hit her head. "hey pervert girl, what do you think, you abuse someone who is sick! "She hissed to herself.

"I'm sorry Vino!" She whispered then opened the belt with the letters of the outstanding fashion brand.

"Geez, he's not wearing the belt properly?"She was shocked, realizing that Vino's belt was not properly attached so She could pull it off easily.

Despite the panic, She tried to calm down, Vira tried to find out what Will she do with her husband who looked weak and helpless.

She lowered her head, checked her husband's breath. Vino's breath sounded heavy and hot, his whiff felt hot on her face skin.

"I have to check his temperature, then... I have to take the compress, then .. then I have to .. what else should I do!" She endured confusion.

Vira moved from her position, she took a medicine box, looked for a thermometer, and checked her husband's temperature. She put it on Vino's lips.

"Geez! I even forgot to take off his shoes and socks. He had to be free, the air must have to blow his skin, that's what I remember from school health lessons in the past,"

Leaving the thermometer on Vino's lips, Vira turned to his husband's feet. She took off her husband's shoes and socks.

Drrrtt...

Vino's cell phone rang.

Vira heard a call on Vino's cellphone but she looked confused, whether She should accept it or not, Vino kept it in his pants pocket.

The sound of the thermometer rang, She has got her husband's temperature, 40 degrees Celsius, that's too increased! Vira sighed, she frightened by herself.

Vino's cellphone sounded again. Shocked the girl, she panicked, even more, she couldn't pretend to be calm anymore.

"I need someone to help me deal with this kind of situation. I've never taken care of sick people before!" Vira whispered exasperatedly.

"I'm sorry Vino .." She reached into her husband's pocket with her eyes closed. She intends to pick up incoming calls on her husband's cellphone.

"Hello, didn't you need me to tie and button your suit today?" The voice of a woman on the other side shocked Vira.

"give it to me, miss!" A man's voice sounds deep behind the voice of a woman who picks up the phone.

"I'm sorry sir. You didn't make it in time for today, is there something? "A warm voice sounded from the other side.

Vira did not know who the owner of this warm voice was, she glanced at her husband who looked so weak. She need help for now.

"I'm sorry, Vino has a fever, what should I do to him. He's sweating, her temperature is high too!" Vira's desperate voice took Kim by surprise.

He was Vino's assistant in the office.

"Do you have the phone number of a doctor or anyone who can help me? I'm confused about what to do, I'm afraid that Vino will .. will .. "Vira's voice sounded choked, she held back tears.

"What if he died, he talked about poison earlier.. and now he looks pale and weak. What should I do? Oh my God, I'm afraid .." She wiped Vino's wet forehead.

Vira's trembling voice didn't make Kim nervous. The man even smiled a little.

"Miss, you calm down first. Take your breath slowly, then .. do what I'm going to say. "Kim's warm and calm voice made Vira obey the man's instructions over the phone.

She tried to calm down, listening to orders from Kim. While staring at her husband's pale face, she began to slowly wipe her husband's body.

"First, you have to take off his clothes, wipe off all his sweat, and put a compress on his forehead. " Kim said.

She already took off Vino's clothes while pinning the cellphone between her shoulders and head.

"I've prepared everything. Geez, I even forgot to put the compress on his forehead." Vira's voice sighed, the woman slowly put the compressed gel on her husband's head.

"Then, change all his clothes. Can you change his clothes, right?"

"Yes, of course, I can!" Vira moved from her position, she took Vino's clothes in the wardrobe.

She picked up clothes randomly and ran back to the main room, where her husband lay.

She slowly put on a T-shirt on him, Lifting her husband's head with great care.

"If you've changed all the clothes, but the temperature is still very high, try skin-to-skin contact." Said the male voice on the other side.

"skin to skin? What is it?" Asked Vira, not understanding.

"try to stick your skin against his body, your low body temperature and high temperature of Vino will neutralize each other. "

It sounded plausible, even though She had never heard of this method.

"So what part I should be sticking with him? "Asked Vira innocently.

"Your body .." Kim replied briefly.

Vira was silent, her eyes fixed on her husband's pale face.

How do I stick my body? She was getting clueless.

"If it gets worse, call this number. I'll give it to you." Before the call was closed, Kim sent a doctor's contact.

Why didn't you give it up earlier!

"Mom.." Vino sighed. Call his mother.

Vira tries to call the contact Kim just sent.

"Mom, I found her.." Vino whispered, he opened his eyes slowly.

Vira forgot her husband's cellphone when she saw Vino's eyes opening, She immediately approached him.

"Vino .. are you awake?" Asked Vira, her face worried but also happy.

Vino smiled weakly, he looked at his wife's face with wistful eyes.

"I found you .." he whispered barely clear.

"Yes?" Asked Vira, bringing her ear closer to Vino's lips, She couldn't hear her husband's murmuring.

Vino raised his hand, touched Vira's cheek, warmth.

Vira felt Vino's palms very hot on her face. But...

The kissing on her lips was more than hot.

Isn't this what was called skin-to-skin contact?

Warm, hot, spread along the entire body, she kissed her husband slowly, raised her face.

Slightly pushing her husband's body, who was still weak, lifted his back. Rubbing her husband's pale face with a gentle touch, she already sharing her body temperature.
