Chapter 3 – Not Feeling Well?
Comments from the author: The third chapter is finally up! Hope you are all enjoying the story. Just so you know, I added three chapters in one day because I will be gone for two days. For now, there are three chapters so far.
The plane arrived at New York City International Airport at nightfall.
Jake was drowsy as he carried his and Fu Dog's luggage, which were barely used.
When they arrived at the Long residence, Jake immediately went to the couch and fell asleep. He didn't say a word before he nodded off. His mom seemed to be the only one to have noticed that.
"Um, Grandpa? Did Jake have a long day?" She asked, worried. "Actually, no. He slept the entire time when we were at the plane." Grandpa replied.
"You know, I'm starting to get the feeling that Jake's ill." She stated. Grandpa considered this and both decided to take his temperature.
Grandpa shook Jake so he can wake up. "What? Is it morning already?" Jake asked, sleepily. "Nope. It's still night time." Haley said, sitting next to him.
"We just need to take your temperature, Jake." His mom replied. "Fine." Jake said, sitting up. His mom got out a thermometer and stuck it on Jake's mouth.
After at least four minutes, his mom took out the thermometer and read it.
"One hundred six degrees!" She said, shocked. "Wow, that's high." Jake's dad said, coming inside the living room. Jake was on the couch asleep again.
"I think he has a high fever." She said. "I guess we better call the doctor." Jake's dad said, worried.
Jake's dad called the family doctor and Jake's mom got him a cold compress. Jake moaned, still sleepy.
"The doctor is bringing an ambulance to the residence. He needs to be cared for in the hospital for a few days." Jake's dad said, after he hung up.
Jake, still sleepy, lied on the couch. When the ambulance arrived, Jake was brought inside. The nurses inside tried to keep him awake and gave him another cold compress.
The rest of the family followed behind in the car.
