Just as the doctor was muttering to himself in his mind, it came time to take the mercury thermometer out. He asked An Lan to hand it over to him and took a glance at the temperature.
"Thirty-seven point two degrees, still a slight fever, but it has improved a lot. Staying in the hospital for observation for two more days and getting another day of IV should be about right.
Miss An, this seems to be a chill-induced fever, combined with your slightly weak resistance. My recommendation is that after you recover, you should exercise more to boost your immunity."
The doctor stressed the word 'recommendation,' humbly implying that it was just his suggestion, one that An Lan can either take or leave. When An Lan heard the word 'exercise,' she felt completely deflated.
