First of all, I want to apologize to everyone. I haven't been able to update properly these days because my son is sick and hospitalized, and the updates have mostly been terrible.

I apologize to the readers!

From the beginning, my son started having a fever. At that time, the county hospital couldn't find the cause, so we didn't pay much attention and just decided to try giving him some medicine.

As a result, the child had a persistent high fever, reaching a maximum of 39.7 degrees Celsius. My wife then realized something was wrong and took the child to their hospital for admission.

However, the county hospital had limited resources and couldn't find anything wrong. After two days in the hospital, it still didn't work, so my wife suggested transferring to another hospital.

And so, on the 25th, we were transferred to the Second Provincial Hospital in Shijiazhuang.

However, it was a newly opened hospital in Luquan District of the Second Provincial Hospital. We only found out after we were admitted that the hospital did not have air conditioning!

It's 35°C every day in Hebei right now. My son's stomach is irritated by the medicine he takes, and he vomits every night. On top of that, it's hot, and he cries all night long.

For two whole days, my wife and I slept for less than five hours in total.

At that time, I felt like I was about to collapse. I was filled with anger and wanted to transfer to another hospital. My wife said, "Don't bother. The Second Provincial Hospital is already the best hospital in Shijiazhuang."

If you go to the provincial children's hospital, not only will you not be able to get an appointment, but there may not even be a bed available.

We endured this for two days, waking up from the heat after only half an hour of sleep. There was only one fan, and it only blew hot air.

The next day, they drew blood from my son. They took three tubes of blood while I held him down. Watching my son, who was not even two years old, cry loudly, I almost couldn't hold back anymore.

The final diagnosis revealed a BE virus infection, which made me deeply realize for the first time the importance of personal connections.

Because the hospital prescribed medication, they actually told us to buy it ourselves outside! It's called acyclovir. Pharmacies don't sell injections; only clinics have it. I searched all over Luquan District but couldn't find it. In the end, I drove to a clinic on the West Second Ring Road in Shijiazhuang and finally managed to buy it.

The clinic sold them to me for 10 yuan each, and I bought six because they only had six left.

At the time, I thought it was good enough that I could buy them at all. But after using up six tubes, I still needed more. I had no choice but to think of my college classmate, who was also my roommate.

After graduation, he worked in Shijiazhuang and knew a lot of people, so I asked him about it.

He called the pharmaceutical company directly, and guess what happened?

TM costs 1.5 yuan a piece, and he gave me two boxes for free!!!

Then, my classmate told me why I didn't tell him I was coming to Shijiazhuang, because he knew someone at the provincial children's hospital who could arrange hospitalization.

I think it's such a small matter, there's no need to bother others.

Later, we opened a hotel directly outside. When we weren't getting IV drips, we would go to the hotel and turn on the air conditioning. When we needed IV drips, we would go back to the hotel.

After six or seven days of this ordeal, my son's fever finally subsided, and we were discharged from the hospital yesterday.

What's even more infuriating is that we stayed at the Second Provincial Hospital for six days! For a full six days, it was scorching hot!

Yesterday! I was discharged from the hospital yesterday! And it actually rained in Shijiazhuang!!!

I f***ing mad, can you guys even imagine that kind of anger?

We braved the rain to get home yesterday, and we were so tired that we went straight to sleep as soon as we got home, so we didn't update. I'm very sorry.

While I was in the hospital, I could only use one phone to type, but I couldn't write continuously because my child would cry, I had to go out to buy food, and I also smoke, so I had to go outside to smoke. Plus, it was unbearably hot. I really couldn't stand it.

So, I'm in really bad shape.

Many chapters were poorly updated and padded with words, so thank you all for your understanding!

I'll take a couple of days to rest and resume writing 10,000 words a day to make up for what I missed last month.

Also, this book is almost a million words long, so we can start testing the title. Everyone can help the author think of a good title. I'm really racking my brains and can't come up with anything good.

(I need five book titles, and they have to be eye-catching, to attract readers.)

Finally, I would like to thank everyone for your support along the way. There are several readers who have left a deep impression on me, following my first 100,000-word post all the way to the latest chapter. I am truly touched!
