Yuanbao's face was flushed red from the fever, and he was sweating profusely. Shen Du had never encountered such a situation before, but holding the burning hot child, he felt inexplicably panicked.
Yuanbao was already delirious from the fever. He was pouting in his arms, whimpering and calling for his mother, clearly in pain.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Shen Du carried Yuanbao and rushed to the emergency room, his steps quick and fast.
"39.4? What kind of parents are they? Dressing their child in such thick clothes when they have a high fever! Don't they have any common sense?"
"Quickly take off his clothes and try to lower his temperature with physical methods. How did he get such a high fever?"
"You shouldn't wear such thick clothes when you have a fever. What kind of parent are you?"
The clothes Yuanbao was wearing were put on by the old man before he left home; the older generation inevitably lacks common sense in this regard.
Yang Xu watched as this person, who was usually so capable and influential at work, looked somewhat helpless under the criticism of a group of doctors and nurses, and made no attempt to hide the worry on his face.
Yuanbao was burning up with fever, and the doctors and nurses worked quickly, using physical methods to cool him down while simultaneously putting him on an IV drip.
Yuanbao looked at the sharp needle with great resistance and started crying and fussing while hugging Chen Du: "Daddy, I don't want a needle, I don't want a needle..."
His face was burning red, and his little face was covered with tears. He wasn't crying loudly, but he sounded very aggrieved. Chen Du suddenly felt sad too, and he held him and asked the nurse, "Can we not give him an IV drip?"
The nurse clicked her tongue and said impatiently, "With a fever like this, are you going to rely solely on physical cooling methods instead of an IV drip? What if the child gets burned?"
Chen Du frowned, patted Yuanbao's shoulder gently, and said, "It doesn't hurt, it'll be fine in a bit, don't cry, okay?"
Yuanbao shook his head and cried, his little face full of resistance. Shen Du suddenly didn't know what to do with him, but touching his burning body, he became more and more worried. He could only say to the nurse in a deep voice, "Please be gentle."
The nurse looked up and met his cold eyes, suddenly becoming a little nervous, and her movements became much more careful.
Yuanbao was still crying softly. Seeing that Chen Du wouldn't give in to him, he cried out, "I don't want Daddy anymore, I want Mommy, Mommy..."
Half an hour later, the IV drip was started, and Yuanbao calmed down. Tears still clung to his face as he lay unconscious on the hospital bed, looking quite pitiful.
Seeing that the child's fever was gradually subsiding, Shen Du finally felt relieved and made a phone call to Ye Zhao.
When the phone rang, Ye Zhao was having a late-night snack with Jiang Ze. He was relentlessly promoting Jiang Che to Ye Zhao. At first, Ye Zhao refused a few times, but later she listened calmly and quietly ate her food while Jiang Ze kept talking.
Hello?
Ye Zhao answered an unfamiliar number from City A and spoke politely.
Shen Du looked at the sleeping child and said in a low voice, "Ye Zhao, I am Shen Du."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhao suddenly tensed up. Shen Du wouldn't call her for no reason. She quickly asked, "What's wrong? Where's Yuanbao?"
Chen Du said in a low voice, "Don't worry, the child had a fever, but it's going down now..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhao suddenly felt a pang of panic and anxiously asked, "Why did you suddenly develop a fever? How high was it? Did you go to the hospital? Has the fever subsided?"
She stood up anxiously as she asked, and Jiang Ze, seeing her worried expression, quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Don't panic..."
Chen Du quickly added, "Don't worry, the child's fever has gone down, he's just crying and wanting to find you..."
Ye Zhao hurriedly asked, "Where's Yuanbao? Is he asleep?"
"She just fell asleep, and her fever has gone down."
Ye Zhao felt slightly relieved and hung up the phone, saying to Jiang Ze, "Aze, I have some business to attend to in B City, so I might not be able to accompany you for a while. If you're bored, go to Green Field. You can stay anywhere you like. I'll be back in a few days."
Jiang Ze only heard her speaking rapidly before turning to leave. He quickly pulled out some money, threw it on the table, and followed her, asking, "What are you going to B City for? What happened? Who is Yuanbao? Do you need me to go with you?"
Ye Zhao waved his hand anxiously, checking flight tickets on the app while replying, "It's okay, I'll just go once, I'll treat you when I get back in a few days."
Seeing Ye Zhao's worried expression, Jiang Ze didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that she was looking at plane tickets, he quickly said, "Then you should buy a ticket first and see if you need to bring anything. I'll drive you to the airport."
Ye Zhao was buying a ticket for the next flight when she heard this, and quickly said, "Thank you, I'll go to Green Field to pick up some things and then leave."
She just returned from B City in the afternoon. She left her documents and everything at Green Field, so she can just pick them up when she gets back.
All the way there, she couldn't stop thinking about Yuanbao. She seemed to have lost her soul. Although Chen Du said that the child's fever had subsided, she was still very worried.
Because of his premature birth, Yuanbao has always been in poor health and gets sick easily. He has improved a lot in the last two years, but he still gets fevers and colds easily if he is not careful.
In the past, she was always by her child's side whenever the child was sick, and she knew exactly what was going on. Even then, she couldn't help but worry. Now that she knows nothing about her child's condition, she is even more worried.
Although Shen Du is a fairly reliable person, he has never taken care of children before. Ye Zhao can't wait to appear in front of the child. He needs to get another injection, and she wonders how much he will cry.
Shen Du didn't want to bother Ye Zhao, but she was the one who raised the child. If he kept the child sick from her, it would be too much. Besides, the child was attached to her, and she knew the child's health better. He would feel more at ease if she came.
He hung up the phone and handed it to Yang Xu: "Check the next flight from Jiashui to B City, save Ye Zhao's number, and go to the airport to pick her up."
"good!"
After giving his instructions, Shen Du turned to look at the child lying on the bed. Because of the fever and sweat, the ends of his hair were wet and stuck to his forehead. There were also traces of crying on his little face. He looked so pitiful. There was a needle in one of his fair little hands. Shen Du belatedly felt a sense of guilt.
Ultimately, this is his responsibility. If he had kept a closer eye on things in the afternoon and reminded Aunt Wang to take good care of him, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.
Ye Zhao was in a hurry and very worried the whole way, but fortunately Jiang Ze took her to the airport and comforted her for a while. Before boarding the plane, she called Chen Du to confirm that the child's fever had subsided, and she finally felt relieved.
It was late at night when Ye Zhao arrived in B City. The first thing she asked Yang Xu was, "Was Yuanbao asleep when you came? Are you sure he doesn't have any other symptoms besides the fever?"
Yang Xu quickly replied, "Don't worry, it was just a fever. The fever had almost subsided when I arrived."
Ye Zhao nodded and got into the car. Yang Xu watched her back and was amazed. Ye Zhao had changed a lot in the past few years.
