He put the bowl with medicine to her mouth.She drink it, slowly and stop a bit when she's pull herself together and finish it.

"Done.Do you want to eat the sweet I bought?"

Lin Ying shake her head

"Okay, you can rest now"

"A-Ying,let's eat."he shake her a bit to wake her up.

"...mnn"I don't feel like eating

"...Let me feed you,even if it just a little"

She shake her head and her eyes look sleepy even though she just awake from her sleep

"A-Ying,I will bring healer tomorrow since your condition getting worse"
