Chapter 721

Mother looked around,

The kitchen overseer was absent at the moment.

He must have slipped under the covers again.It is cold in winter.

And he knew that these cooks finally got such a job, and he didn't dare to make any trouble, so he stayed in the house with confidence.

The other cooks nodded to her, meaning hurry up.

Mother wiped her hands on her apron and filled a cup with some hot soup.

Holding the cup, the mother said to Margaret's brother, "Okay, I'll go and see with you."

He hurried out through the back door.

Sheldon also quickly got up and followed out the door.

Ah, it's so cold outside.

It's snowing heavily.

Snowflakes fluttered coldly on his face.

Sheldon couldn't help shivering.

But he didn't retreat, but accelerated his pace and followed behind.

Mother didn't notice Sheldon behind him.

Maybe she has to care about the soup in the cup.

I saw her walking quickly, and soon entered the dormitory along the eaves.

The dorm supervisor saw them.

Mother said, "I'm going to see Margaret."

Supervision: "Go, don't forget to come to me at night..."

Mother didn't answer him, but walked over quickly.

Sheldon quickened his pace and rushed into the room.

It's really cold in the room, like an ice cellar.

Margaret lay there under two ragged quilts, and her sister Lisa, wrapped in a grown-up dress, snuggled up beside her under the quilt.

Seeing a few people come in, Xiaozui curled up and began to cry.

Mother: "Lisa, don't cry, let me see Margaret."

Margaret's brother hugged Lisa away.

Mother put down the glass and put her hand on Margaret's forehead.

"My God, it's so hot. I have a fever."

Sheldon followed his mother's example and put his hand on Margery's face.

It's really hot!Hotter than sitting next to a fire.

Shelton saw Margaret's eyes were tightly closed, her face was pale, and her lips were blistered.

"Margaret, wake up, wake up."

He rocked Margaret.

Mother is asking brother: "How long has Margaret been like this?"

"It's been two days."

"Mom originally wanted to stay and take care of her, but the supervisor didn't allow it. So I stayed and took care of my younger sister. My mother told me to put a wet towel on my younger sister's forehead, and asked me to drink more water for her, but I did everything. It's morning, and the temperature hasn't been lowered yet.

Instead, my sister didn't speak anymore.

No matter how I shouted, I couldn't wake her up.

There is no way to feed water.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Ma'am, so I have to ask for your help.Madam, will Marguerite be well if she has some hot soup? "

Mother looked at the towels in the washbasin next to her.And the cold water in the bowl, is that for Margaret?

There was no stove and no hot water in the freezing room.

Sighing: "Poor child, I thought it was starving and freezing, and drinking some hot soup will slow it down..."

The elder brother interrupted her: "Ma'am, I'll help her up, and you can feed her, can you?"

Mother went on to say: "I didn't expect it to be such a severe fever. This can't work! I need to see a doctor."

There was no doctor in the concentration camp, and the only military doctor only treated the Germans, not the people in the concentration camp.

Mother said to herself: "The doctor will definitely not come..."

Brother: "Yes, Mom has already asked for supervision, but it's useless."

Mother: "It's good to have some antipyretics."

"Madam, please think of a way to save my sister!"

Sheldon: "Mom, please save Margaret!"

Sheldon shook his mother's hand too.

He didn't want Margaret dead, she was the only friend he had here.

He blamed himself a little, if he stayed with Margaret these few days, maybe she wouldn't be sick.

The mother sighed and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try. You take good care of her until I come back."

Then he ran out in a hurry.

Sheldon said to Margaret's brother, "I'll help you. I'll support Margaret. You feed her hot soup. She'll get better with hot soup."

"Ok."

The brother helped Margaret up, and Sheldon sat behind, letting Margaret lean on him.

He felt like holding a fire.

The elder brother took a spoon, scooped up the hot soup and brought it to Margaret's mouth, but Margaret couldn't open her mouth, and couldn't feed the hot soup.

Sheldon: "This way..."

He made a gesture of opening his mouth.

So they cooperated and poured down a few spoonfuls of soup for Margaret.

I don't know if it was because of the hot soup, or because they were tormenting me, but Margaret opened her eyes.

Shouted in a weak voice: "Brother."

"Margaret, my brother is here."

"And me, Sheldon, I'm here too, Margaret, it's good that you're awake."

Margaret turned her head with difficulty, but Sheldon was out of sight.

My brother went to the next bunk and hugged a quilt to lean against her back, and replaced Sheldon.

Sheldon gave Margaret a big smile.

"Margaret, you need to get better, and we have to play together."

"Sister, let's have some more hot soup."

The brother held the glass to Margaret's mouth.

Margaret stopped drinking after taking a sip and glanced at her sister.

The elder brother understood, and let the younger sister drink the rest of the soup.

If you don't drink it, it will be cold.

Sheldon: "Margaret, if you still want to drink, I'll go to the kitchen to get it."

Margaret shook her head, and closed her eyes again drowsily.

My brother told her to lie down and put a towel on her forehead.

Then everyone stood by, even Lisa obediently, neither crying nor fussing.

Mother didn't come back this afternoon, and Hilton didn't go to the kitchen again, but stayed in the dormitory all the time.

Margarita woke up again, half lying on the quilt with a wet towel over her head.

Just watched Sheldon and his sister playing around and making her happy.

The elder brother stood by and changed the towel for her every once in a while.

He felt that it seemed to be useful, and his sister's forehead was not so hot anymore.

At dinner time, my mother came back.

His hair was messy, and there were scars on his face.

This made Sheldon very worried. Mom must have been beaten.

Those Germans are not so easy to talk to.

Fortunately, my mother brought back the medicine. Although there are only three pills, it is better than nothing.

Giving the medicine to Margaret's mother, telling her to take one at a time, her mother hurried to the kitchen.

Watching Margaret take the medicine, Sheldon thought, Margaret will get better now.

In the middle of the night, Sheldon was awakened by a loud noise.

It was Margaret's mother calling her name.

"what happened?"

Someone woke up and asked.

"The situation seems to be very bad. Margaret is short of breath... What can I do..."

Her mother's voice was flustered.

The mother got up quickly when she heard the sound. She had just fallen asleep, and she was not asleep at all.

Sheldon also got up and ran to the side of Margaret's bunk.
