Chapter 255 Something Happened with the Child
"Why are you panicking! What happened?"
The nurse pointed to the row of cribs on the left side of the inner room, her voice trembling.
"The child in bed number 17 is acting strangely; he seems to be sick."
As they spoke, the two went to the baby crib number 17.
Just as the nurse said, the child was sleeping soundly just now.
At this point, large red rashes appeared on his face, his lips turned bluish-purple, and even his breathing was much weaker than that of the other children.
"Head Nurse, this needs to be taken to the pediatrics ward immediately, otherwise..."
"What are you giving away!"
Tan Mingna reached out and touched the child's forehead, then parted the child's mouth to take a look.
"The baby may have choked on milk just now, or it could be a protein allergy. Just give him some water later, there's nothing to make a fuss about."
"Can……"
"But what do you mean, 'but'!" Tan Mingna interrupted her sharply. "Now you're panicking? What were you doing when I told you to keep an eye on things?"
The nurse was clearly taken aback.
These words were an utterly undeserved disaster for her.
As soon as she arrived at work in the morning, the head nurse assigned her the task of washing urinal mediators.
She had just returned from washing up less than five minutes ago when the child developed a problem.
What does this have to do with her?
Besides, this child has been fed formula for several days now; if he were going to have an allergic reaction, he would have done so long ago.
But the nurse only dared to think these words to herself.
She is different from Tan Mingna; Tan Mingna has connections and was promoted to head nurse in less than a year of work.
Even if she makes a mistake at work, the dean will definitely protect her.
Thinking about all this, the young nurse steeled herself and said, "Head nurse, let's take him to the pediatrics ward, just in case something really happens to the child..."
"There's no such thing as 'what if'!"
Tan Mingna was visibly agitated, seeing the nurse standing there motionless.
"What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and take these bottles out to wash them, and then disinfect them later."
The nurse pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.
She turned around and put the baby bottle into the basin.
Tan Mingna added, "After you've finished washing, write down the record. Just write that the child slept soundly all day, and that his temperature, breathing, and bowel movements were all normal!"
The nurse muttered, "Writing this won't help. You can tell at a glance whether something is normal or not. Besides, the child in bed 17 is being discharged today."
"What did you say?"
Tan Mingna's sudden shout startled the nurse.
“I said, the child in bed number 17 is being discharged today.”
"Why are you only telling me now that it's so important!"
The nurse was speechless.
Pointing, "This...isn't the time written on this crib?"
It's written so clearly in black and white, what more do you need to say?
Following the direction the nurse was pointing.
Tan Mingna glanced down.
October 4th...
It's definitely today.
After glancing again at the baby in the crib with eyes closed, Tan Mingna truly panicked.
If the family members in the residential compound see the child looking like this later, they'll probably make a scene!
No, we can't let them send the child to the pediatric ward.
Or, should we go and ask our uncle for help?
However, she dismissed the idea as soon as it came to her.
My uncle might help with other things, but if he finds out about this, I'm sure I'll be in big trouble.
Just as she was feeling flustered and confused, Tan Mingna suddenly stopped looking.
After glancing at it a few times, his gaze fell on the child in front of him.
Almost instantly, Tan Mingna made up her mind.
At this point, she couldn't care less about anything else.
"I understand. You can go ahead and do your work. I'll handle this."
She paused for a moment, then added, "If anyone asks about it later, just pretend you don't know anything."
"Otherwise, if word gets out, I'm not even sure if I can keep this job, but you'll definitely be packing your bags and leaving, understand?"
I could hear the threat in her tone.
The nurse looked embarrassed.
Not long after she left, the family of the patient in bed number 17 arrived.
"Mom, this is Head Nurse Tan from the nursery. If it weren't for their meticulous care during this time, I definitely wouldn't be able to manage on my own."
Upon hearing this, the old woman smiled and said, "Comrade Tan, you've worked hard these past few days. This is some cloud cake I brought from my hometown. Take it back and try it."
After saying that, he secretly slipped a red envelope into Tan Mingna's hand.
Tan Mingna didn't refuse; after saying a few polite words, she accepted the red envelope.
"Comrade Tan, which one is my eldest grandson?"
The old lady peeked into the inner room, eager to get close to her grandson.
"Auntie, please wait a moment. The hospital has a rule that you can't go into the inner room, otherwise the child might get infected with germs."
The old woman nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I understand, I understand~"
The mother and son waited patiently outside.
A short while later, Tan Mingna brought the child out from inside.
She didn't give the child to Battalion Commander Lu, but handed him directly to the old woman.
The old lady took it and immediately beamed with joy.
However, after Battalion Commander Lu looked at it, he suddenly exclaimed "Eh!"
"What's wrong?" Aunt Lu asked.
Battalion Commander Lu couldn't explain it either, and reached out to poke the child's little face.
"I feel like my child has gained a lot of weight since a few days ago."
Upon hearing this, Tan Mingna's heart leaped into her throat.
Before she could even speak, Aunt Lu said with a smile, "Babies in their postpartum period grow so fast, they look completely different in just two days."
“You’ve been in the hospital for almost a week now, it’s normal for the baby to have gained weight.”
Tan Mingna chimed in, "Yes, the hospital provides the best formula for the children. Your child is absorbing it well and has gained a lot of weight these past few days!"
Aunt Lu was even happier to hear this. After thanking him, she turned to her son and said...
"Look at this little mouth, it looks just like yours."
Do they look alike?
The child was still young, and Battalion Commander Lu couldn't tell.
And he doesn’t know if it’s because he has face blindness, but he always feels that children at this stage all look pretty much the same.
Is it true that many children look like this when they are young?
But if his mother says it looks like him, then it definitely does.
At this point, it's always right to go along with it: "It does resemble me quite a bit."
Upon hearing this, Tan Mingna breathed a sigh of relief.
"Battalion Commander Lu, this is the child's bracelet. Take a good look. It has your wife's bed number, name, and the child's gender on it."
"If there are no problems, please sign here."
"Okay, thank you."
After Battalion Commander Lu finished signing, Tan Mingna glanced at her sleeping child.
“Your child eats and sleeps well. You don’t need to worry about him when you get back. You can feed him whenever he wakes up.”
In response, the mother and son showered her with a string of thanks.
After leaving the nursery, Aunt Lu exclaimed with emotion, "The people at the military hospital are really responsible. Look how well they've raised the child."
Battalion Commander Lu nodded.
He was about to open his mouth.
The door next to them suddenly opened inwards, revealing Huo Tingzhou holding something that looked like a teddy bear.
He immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Commander!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the teddy bear in his commander's arms.
The bear was none other than Jiang Si.
Although the daytime temperature on Qiongzhou Island in October is still over 20 degrees Celsius, it's windy outside today.
So after Dr. Jiang left, Huo's mother took out the clothes she had prepared in advance and wrapped Jiang Si up tightly.
As a result, she had just finished wrapping her clothes up.
The two little devils opened their little mouths again, wanting to eat milk!
This meal took up half an hour of my time.
At this moment, Battalion Commander Lu's voice rang out again, "Hello, sister-in-law."
After saying that, he quickly introduced them to Aunt Lu, "Mom, this is our regiment leader, and this is the regiment leader's wife."
This isn't the place to talk.
After exchanging greetings, they prepared to go downstairs.
