[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Chapter 3 3. Recovery from serious illness

Tahlia was lying on the bed, sweating all over her body. Logically speaking, this should mean that the fever is about to subside, but Tahlia's body temperature is still frighteningly high. They don't want her to die either, they are relatives after all, especially when they know Tahlia's hard work and excellence, they don't want anything to happen to her.For the first time, the whole family stopped working and took care of Tahlia, but after a whole day, there was still no improvement. They had no extra money to call the doctor, so they had to help her wipe sweat and change the towel on her forehead.

Ever since Tahlia came home last night, she felt something was wrong. Her clothes were a little messy, and she was dazed. She used to take the initiative to help with work, but yesterday she just said that she was very tired and went upstairs to sleep. Until this morning they found out Tahlia didn't come downstairs for breakfast to realize something was wrong.

The doorbell rang, and Mrs. Watson told her elder son to change the towel on Tahlia's forehead, and went to open the door herself.Standing outside the door was a boy.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"I'm Watson's classmate." Snape was outside the door, he said. "I heard that she was ill and I came to visit her."

"This..." Mrs. Watson said with some embarrassment.

"Just one click," Snape said.

"...well, come with me," he said, leading Snape upstairs to Tahlia's room.

Snape saw Tahlia lying on the bed with her eyes closed, looking very distressed.Judging from her flushed face and the towel on her forehead, her symptoms of discomfort were a persistent high fever. Snape gave a slight nod to Tahlia's brothers, and walked over to her bed.When everyone was not paying attention, he poured the medicine he brought into the teapot on the small table beside the bed. Fortunately, most of these medicines are colorless and odorless, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be discovered.

"I think she needs some water," Snape began. "Her lips are a bit dry..." Finished, turning to Mrs. Watson. "I think I've seen her, so don't bother." Then, walked out of Tahlia's house along the same road, hoping they could feed her well and drink water.

Tahlia felt sore all over her body, and she could feel a cool and comfortable feeling on her forehead in a daze, and there were some rustling voices, but the sticky feeling on her body was very bad, and then Tahlia realized that she was being lifted up , some liquid was poured into her mouth, Tahlia swallowed obediently, and the voice on the side seemed to become a little clearer.

"Will she be okay?" That was the voice of her elder brother Josh, who was many years older than her, probably because of this, only the elder brother would not often tease her, but he was not particularly close to her, in her impression , the eldest brother always leaves early and returns late like his parents.

"Of course." It was Mom.The voice of her mother, who usually yelled at her, was trembling.

Tahlia didn't expect her family members to care about her so much. She wanted to open her eyes and hug them, but her body couldn't use her strength at all. How did she become like this?

The wretched men in the alley suddenly flashed through his mind, then the debris all over the floor, and then there was Snape, whom she spoke to last night, and just now, he seemed to hear the boy's voice vaguely, although Snape didn't speak often Talking, but his unique voice makes people never forget after hearing it, but why did the boy appear in her house?

Now Tahlia's head is much clearer, at least she can think, how did she escape last night?She only remembered that there seemed to be many tiny needles in the air, a bit like being paralyzed by a small electric current, and then the group of men fell to the ground, and then Snape appeared immediately, so he must have seen what happened, right?Be sure to ask him afterwards.

The medicine soon began to take effect, and Tahlia's body temperature dropped to normal temperature, and the family members on the side also breathed a sigh of relief, but Tahlia still did not regain consciousness, lying on the bed and falling asleep quietly, but at least it was certain that she was out of danger, Watson The couple also walked out of the room to start the work left behind today. Josh asked the three younger brothers to help their parents too, leaving Tahlia to take care of himself.

Josh helped Tahlia cover the quilt and said something softly. "I'll take good care of you, sister."

Josh is the only one whose family does not work in a factory. He obviously has a very good mind. He graduated with honors all the way to his doctorate. Now he is doing research in a local laboratory. He didn't pay much attention to Tahlia. Sister, after all, Tahlia was 25 years old when he was born, and he already has three younger brothers. Although none of them are as good at studying as he is, these three younger brothers help the family a lot, allowing him to focus on his studies. At the same time, you don't have to worry about things at home.

So when Tahlia was born, Josh felt like everyone else, that there was an extra child to care for, and there was a good chance that he wouldn't be able to contribute anything to the family in the future.All this changed for Josh when Tahlia went to school.

In the teacher's praise to Tahlia, Josh learned that his little sister's talent is even higher than him. Not long after entering school, Tahlia has already read a lot of knowledge beyond her age because of her own interests, and she is not like Josh at home. In order to be a burden, she can spare time to help the family with a lot of things while taking care of her studies, which is no worse than her three brothers.

Only then did Josh remember Tahlia's well-behaved childhood. She never asked for anything, and she always obeyed what her mother said. Josh had never seen Tahlia look at them with envy or jealousy. She always quietly used This knowledge made Josh feel deeply guilty, so he began to pay attention to Tahlia. With this kind of attention, he discovered more amazing things about Tahlia. She can almost be said to have a photographic memory. , and laughed off Tony's teasing. Josh was the first to discover Tahlia's fever this time. He decided to treat Tahlia well in the future, and he could no longer ignore her like before.

Tahlia opened her eyes and found that it was dawn again. The first thing she saw was her elder brother who was dozing on the chair next to her bed, and she gave a weak cry. "Josh?"

Josh woke up immediately, and he reached out to touch Tahlia's forehead, and after finding that the temperature was still normal, he smiled and said. "Are you hungry? Don't go to school today, it's better to have another day off." He poured a glass of water for him to drink. "You really scared us to death yesterday..."

"Sorry." Tahlia whispered.In the end she was causing trouble to the family anyway, she thought sadly.

"No need to apologize," Josh said. "It was my fault before. I shouldn't have ignored you, especially since you are so cute and excellent. I forgot that you should be our most beloved little sister. I should apologize to you." Josh stood up. "Wait for me, I'll get you something to eat." He walked out of the room, leaving Tahlia sitting on the bed in some confusion.

Tahlia is really completely confused. Just now, her elder brother talked to her the most in her life. She thought that her illness would make her family furious, but when she woke up, her elder brother was so gentle to her. , making her unable to convert for a while.

The door opened again, this time not only Josh came in, but also her three other brothers, Tahlia stared at them blankly.

"Haha, look, she was so scared." The second brother Tony pushed the person beside him and said with a smile.

Before Tahlia could react, she blurted out a word. "Is it okay if you don't have to work?"

The four men were also taken aback, they didn't expect Tahlia to ask them this in the first sentence.

Finally it was Josh who answered. "We're all on leave today and want to take you out for a stroll." He handed Tahlia a bowl of porridge. "Parents are also on leave, so they treat it as a family trip?" The other brothers also nodded with a smile. They really didn't know how to cherish if they had never lost it. Tahlia, who was seriously ill, made them understand that if they really lost this sister, they would There will be so much anxiety and pain in my heart, so of course I won't treat her like before.

"Why?" Tahlia obviously still didn't understand.

"Do you need to ask why?" The fourth brother Hamish smiled cheerfully. "Does the family still need a reason to go out to play?"

"Family..." Tahlia murmured. "This...but I'm about to take the exam." Now it seems that they are not angry because of their illness, or even the opposite effect-they seem to care about her more, but Tahlia still has not forgotten the first time at school take an exam.

Who should I say it looks like?Everyone looked at Josh together, causing him to touch his head in embarrassment. To cover up his embarrassment, he coughed lightly. "Well, anyway, even if you don't go out, we will accompany you today, maybe go to a restaurant for dinner?"

"Okay!" The third brother Billy immediately raised his hand in agreement. "The last time we went to a restaurant was before Tahlia was born!"

Tony glared at Billy, okay let's not mention that, doesn't that just mean they've been treating him badly since Tahlia was born?

Billy knew he had slipped and shut his mouth quickly.

Tahlia couldn't help laughing when she saw Billy, who was usually loud, looking cautious now.This smile made the four big men breathe a sigh of relief, and their little sister had a big belly, which showed that they didn't take the past matters to heart.

"But I will tell mom to let you grow your hair long, so that no one will think you are our little brother on the road." Billy couldn't help but say something, and was immediately beaten up by the three men.

"Okay, brother." Tahlia suppressed a smile and started to eat porridge. "My hair grows if I don't cut it, I didn't have any problems at school anyway."

"That still doesn't work," said Josh, who earns the most money among the brothers, and even subsidizes many households. "I'll take you to buy some clothes after the summer vacation." He smiled. "Always let others know that our little sister is the cutest, right?"
