Touching her forehead, Bai Jiyuan realized that the fever hadn't subsided; in fact, it was getting higher and higher. Her heart was filled with despair as she stared at Bai Yuchuan.
"Son, you have to be strong. Your mother will be back soon. Just bear with it a little longer, and we won't feel so bad."
Bai Jiyuan sat on the headboard of the hospital bed, muttering to himself, "Why did it take so long? Even if it was just a round trip, it would have taken enough time. Could something have happened? The child's health can't wait. Even if the penicillin can be successfully transferred, it will take quite a while."
"Yu Chuan's body definitely can't take it."
Bai Jiyuan had never felt so powerless. Since going to the countryside, nothing had gone smoothly. Was Heaven going to destroy the Bai family?
Just as he was frowning in distress, Gu Siqing appeared in front of Bai Jiyuan in a hurry, grabbed Bai Jiyuan's hand and asked about Bai Yuchuan's condition.
"How is the child? Is he feeling any better?"
Bai Jiyuan shook his head. "It seems to be getting more and more serious. The child has fallen into a coma. The doctor came to give him emergency treatment just now. The doctor said that the fever won't go down without penicillin."
"If we don't find penicillin soon, our child's chances of survival are slim. The doctor told us to take the child home and not waste any more money on hospitalization."
Gu Siqing whispered in Bai Jiyuan's ear, "Penicillin has been found."
Bai Ji stared in shock, her eyes wide. "Found it!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, as if you're afraid others won't hear you. This medicine is of dubious origin. Do you still want to save your son?"
"What about the medicine?"
"It's on your sister-in-law. Remember to cooperate with me later and have your sister-in-law inject the child with penicillin. The drug is of dubious origin, but it's genuine penicillin, no doubt about that. That stuff is worth two yellow croakers."
Listening to his wife recount the origins of penicillin, he wore an expression of disbelief.
"It's so expensive. Even if our Bai family farmed for a lifetime, we still couldn't afford to pay it back in our current situation."
“My sister-in-law said I don’t need to pay it back, but I feel bad about it, so I’ll pay it back slowly and I’ll be able to pay it all back someday.”
Bai Jiyuan nodded. That's how it is; you can't take other people's things for free.
It was a life-saving medicine that couldn't be bought even with money, yet my sister-in-law gave it up without hesitation. She is a benefactor of the Bai family.
The couple were whispering to each other when Gu Sinian and Su Ying came in from outside. Su Ying had already put the medicine into the syringe in the corridor outside. She could just take it out from her space later. It would be done with a press of the needle. No one would notice anything fishy.
As soon as Su Ying entered the ward, she went straight to Bai Yuchuan's bedside. Looking at Bai Yuchuan, who was pale and exhausted, Su Ying felt a pang of sadness and touched Bai Yuchuan's forehead with her hand.
It's so hot!
It seems to have developed into encephalitis. If penicillin isn't administered soon, the child's life will be in danger.
Su Ying shot her a look, and Gu Sinian used his large and valiant body to block her movements.
Su Ying quickly took out the syringe from her spatial storage and injected it into the child's buttocks. She pressed the needle and it was done.
After doing everything, he threw the syringe into the space and gave everyone an OK sign.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to relax.
Su Ying walked up to Gu Siqing and whispered, "The injection has been completed. If the doctor asks if any other medications were used, you know what to say, right?"
Gu Siqing nodded vigorously, "I understand, I understand, I know what to do. You saved my son, I won't implicate you. It's getting late, you should go to the guesthouse next door and get a room to rest."
"We'll go together once the child's fever breaks."
Su Ying pointed at Bai Jiyuan and Gu Siqing, "And what about you two?"
“Don’t worry about us. We’ll just stay here for the night. The child’s fever hasn’t completely gone down yet, and we’re worried about him. Staying by his side will help us sleep more soundly.”
"Yes, yes, don't worry about us. We already feel bad for making you come all this way so late. Don't worry about us, you should go and get a room to sleep."
Gu Sinian was very worried about his wife's health. He had spent more than two hours in the cold wind when he arrived, and now all he could think about was the ginger soup.
She slept for more than two hours on the oxcart, even longer than the piglets, because she was afraid of catching a cold and getting sick.
The hospital matters have been resolved, and with my older sister and brother-in-law here, nothing should happen. I should go to the guesthouse, book a room to avoid attracting attention, and then go into my space to make her some ginger soup so she won't get sick.
"Then we'll go to the guesthouse to rest first, and we'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning."
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"
"Brother-in-law, don't worry. We need to eat breakfast too, we just brought you some."
"Then we're leaving. Please take good care of the child."
Take care.
Watching the two walk down the corridor and out, Gu Siqing and Bai Jiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The child's survival is more important than anything else.
"Let me tell you, when Yu Chuan's fever breaks and the doctor comes to check on her, don't let it slip."
"I know, I know."
"They helped us, I can't be ungrateful."
“Penicillin is of dubious origin. I will not cause unnecessary trouble for my younger siblings, nor will I cause trouble for myself.”
"That's good."
guest House.
The two rented a room as a cover, and once the door was locked, they entered the space.
Su Ying was exhausted. As soon as she entered the space, she collapsed on the sofa and didn't want to move. Gu Sinian wouldn't indulge her, so he picked her up from the sofa and carried her into the room.
"Go take a hot shower right away. The cold wind has hit you today, and you'll get sick if you're not careful."
Su Ying couldn't stand the man's nagging, so she took a change of clothes from the room and went into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Su Ying, who was wearing pajamas, had just stepped out of the living room when the man dragged her to the dining table.
"I'm not hungry. I don't need to eat."
"I'm not hungry either, and I didn't cook. I made you a bowl of ginger soup, so drink it quickly and then we'll go to sleep."
Su Ying had no choice but to drink it. Knowing this scoundrel's nature, if she didn't drink it, he would definitely try countless ways to make her drink it.
She didn't want to experience the man's shamelessness again, so she picked up the ginger soup in front of her and gulped it all down.
"I'm done drinking. Can I go to sleep now?"
"Sure, you could. But you slept for two hours on the oxcart, are you sure you can still sleep now?"
