Chapter 63 The Infirmary Incident
+8 Pears
The physical education teacher blew his whistle, but it did nothing to stop Nolan. The scene on the sports field immediately caused quite a stir.
“Wow! Nolan is carrying Eliza!”
“What’s going on? Are they really a couple?”
“Ugh, I wish someone would carry me to the infirmary like that!”
The surrounding voices rose and fell.
Naomi, who had always been the center of attention at school, saw that everyone was now in an uproar over Eliza and a flash of jealousy crossed her eyes.
“Naomi, is your sister really with Nolan Hayes? They look so perfect together.”
Before Naomi could respond, Zayden suddenly sprinted off the sports field.
“Zayden! Where are you going?”
Naomi’s face turned pale. She wanted to chase after him, but the physical education teacher had already blown his whistle again, “Everyone, keep running! No more commotion!”
Thanks to the intervention of the physical education teacher and the homeroom teachers, the other students returned to their respective lines.
Naomi could only watch helplessly as Zayden ran towards the teaching building.
Inside the infirmary, Nolan kicked open the infirmary door, carrying Eliza in his arms. The school doctor was stunned by the sight.
“Student, you…”
“She has a fever. Give her a fever–reducing injection immediately!”
n’s face was dark.
The doctor saw Nolan lay Eliza on the sickbed before she came to her senses, “Where’s your note? Without a note, we can’t…”
Before the doctor could finish, Nolan’s cold gaze swept over her. The doctor felt a chill in her heart and swallowed the words she was about to say.
As the doctor was about to get the fever–reducing injection, Nolan had already started wiping Eliza’s body with cotton balls and alcohol to cool her down.
Not knowing if it was because she felt uncomfortable, Eliza’s breathing had become much heavier.
When the doctor came in, she saw Nolan wiping Eliza’s arm with alcohol.
“Student, I can handle this. You should leave.”

Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Nolan merely put down the alcohol and cotton balls but had no intention of leaving.
The nurse walked over to Eliza and took her temperature.
It was already around 39 degrees Celsius.
The doctor’s face turned serious; it was imperative to give her the injection.
Outside the infirmary, Henry had also rushed in.
Seeing Eliza lying weakly on the sickbed, Henry slapped his head and said with a worried expression, “It’s my fault. I should have paid more attention to Eliza’s discomfort earlier. If we hadn’t run during the break exercise, she wouldn’t have fainted suddenly.”
“It’s the changing of the seasons now. It’s easiest to catch a cold and fever during this time. She’s wearing thin clothes inside. It’s strange that she didn’t have a fever,” the doctor said while administering the injection.
Only then did Henry notice that Eliza was still wearing a thin short–sleeve shirt under her school uniform.
On the bed, Eliza’s breathing was heavy.
Nolan suddenly turned and left the infirmary.
Henry had wanted to chase after him, but seeing Eliza’s distressed appearance on the bed, he decided to stay, “Madam, does Eliza need to eat anything now? She didn’t have breakfast.”
“Didn’t have breakfast?”
The doctor’s face turned serious.
“How could she run during the break exercise without having breakfast? You’re in the second year of high school now. Don’t you know the intensity of your studies? This can easily trigger hypoglycemia.”
“Then I’ll go get some food for Eliza right away, I’ll leave her in your hands!”
With that, Henry ran out without another word.
The doctor had wanted to advise buying some high–protein food, but Henry had already disappeared in a lash.
“What a morning,” the doctor sighed, shaking her head at the unconscious Eliza on the bed.
Outside the infirmary, Zayden was watching the situation inside.
Eliza had always been in good health, but she was prone to fevers during the changing of the seasons.
The Rivers family had never been very concerned about Eliza. She had always endured her colds and fevers alone every year.
When Zayden saw that no one was around, he entered the infirmary. He looked down at the unconscious Eliza and took a fruit candy out of his pocket, placing it in her mouth.
I remembered that when we were little, Eliza had once said that she loved candy the most when she was sick.

After covering Eliza with a blanket, Zayden stayed by her side.
When Nolan returned, Zayden stood up froni the chair beside him.
“Stay away from Eliza:
Nolan’s tone was cold and stern.

Zayden’s eyebrows furrowed, “Eliza and I grew up together. Even if she doesn’t like me now, she would never like you.”
With that, Zayden left the infirmary directly.
Eliza on the sickbed seemed to have calmed down.
Nolan walked over to Eliza and placed the winter clothes he had bought beside her. They included a warm winter coat, women’s thermal pants and sweaters, some undergarments, and a down jacket,
