Shi Yuan frowned, her tone sharp. "This event will go on whether you're here or not. Come on, let's just leave before it gets worse. We don't even know what's causing this, and who knows what kind of allergies you might have."
Chen Lin's expression tightened, her determination clear. "No. I won't leave."
Shi Yuan sighed, shaking her head as she knew how stubborn Chen Lin could be once her mind was made up.
"Oh God," she muttered, massaging her forehead in frustration. She pulled out her phone, her eyes scanning her friend once again. "Your rash is getting worse."
Chen Lin nodded weakly, her voice distant. "This night... just keeps getting better."
Shi Yuan sighed, "Yeah, well... at least you'll leave with a painting. And hives."
She placed her hand on Chen Lin's forehead and her eyes widened in alarm. "Jesus, you're burning up."
