The doctor came out of the emergency room and took off his mask: "There's only a large cut on the arm, which required six stitches. There are no other injuries. Parents, don't worry."
"Go and get the hospitalization procedures done. An acute high fever is very dangerous for a child. He needs to stay for observation."
After the doctor gave the formal instructions, he left.
Xia Yunxi wanted to ask something else, but the emergency room door was bustling with people coming and going, making it very noisy. The busy doctors and nurses didn't even stop.
"Ah, he's out. Classmate Jinchen is out."
The female teacher who accompanied Xia Yunxi to send Li Jinchen to the hospital was sharp-eyed. She saw the bed pushed out with a small ball lying on it, and hurriedly followed Xia Yunxi to meet it.
The head nurse said, "Please go and complete the hospitalization procedures. The child has a fever and has been given antipyretics. He will need an IV drip once he's admitted."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Xia Yunxi agreed quickly.
Looking at Li Jinchen lying on the bed, his little face was red because of the fever, his eyes were closed, and his slightly wrinkled brows showed that he was uncomfortable.
Perhaps due to the injection, he fell into a deep sleep. The blood on his other arm had been cleaned up, and his little arm was fully bandaged. Xia Yunxi examined it and turned to the female teacher and said, "Please keep an eye on him for a while. I'll go and handle the hospitalization procedures."
"Okay, okay, go quickly." The female teacher was also full of fear.
Xia Yunxi nodded, not daring to delay at all.
By the time Li Hanting arrived at the hospital, the chaos had basically subsided.
Xia Yunxi stayed in the ward. The female teacher was too embarrassed to leave because she hadn't seen the parents.
The two of them were chatting intermittently, and at this time, Li Hanting pushed the door open.
The sudden sound startled the female teacher. She stood up and saw the man with a cold aura around him. She stammered, "Mr. Li..."
Li Hanting didn't even glance at the female teacher. He went straight to the bedside and saw Li Jinchen, who was sleeping with an IV drip. He took the child's temperature and asked, "What did the doctor say?"
He clearly didn't even glance away the whole time, but Xia Yunxi knew it, so he asked her again.
"I'm allergic to seafood. Did you give Jinchen seafood this morning? The doctor said it might be a low-grade fever, and the allergy may have triggered an acute high fever."
The female teacher explained at the right moment, "During class this morning, we noticed Jinchen looked a little listless, but we assumed he was just finding the class boring... and didn't take it seriously. Then, around noon, Jinchen suddenly fainted, and we realized the seriousness of the situation..."
"I noticed it this morning, but only found out after he fainted?" Li Hanting's voice was hoarse and low, but the chill that emanated from it was bone-chillingly cold.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, it's our fault..." The female teacher immediately lowered her head and apologized, her face pale with fear.
I was afraid that my career would end just like those teachers who were fired before me.
"Please give me another chance, Mr. Li. I'm really sorry this time. We really didn't think about the child's illness."
"Please don't fire me..."
Xia Yunxi opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
Before seeing the surveillance footage, anything I said would seem like I was being overly kind. Besides, Jinchen's arm was injured so badly.
Xia Yunxi's heart is still beating like a drum, and she is vaguely afraid. Every time she sees the bloody arm and the bloodstains on her body, her heart aches like a needle.
Those who have never been a mother cannot understand the heart-wrenching feeling.
Li Hanting stood up straight, his cold eyes shooting towards the female teacher standing not far away.
The gaze, like a sharp blade, made the teacher lower her head even lower. Her clasped hands felt cold. She was like a prisoner on an ancient execution ground, waiting for the executioner's blade to strike.
However, the aura emanating from that man was far more terrifying than that of the executioner who swung his knife.
"My son, Li Hanting, fell so badly, and you can just let it go with a simple apology?"
The female teacher raised her head in panic. Li Hanting took a step back, pulled out a chair and sat down beside her.
With his legs crossed, he looked as lazy as an emperor. When people looked at his face, they dared not relax at all.
"Go back and tell Principal Liu that if he can't do the job at Boya, I really don't mind replacing him every season."
Change what?
The female teacher realized belatedly that the person in front of her could reshuffle the entire school.
This time, the prince of the Li Group was injured. Even if the class teacher and others pushed the responsibility onto themselves, I'm afraid it would not be able to calm the man's anger.
When the female teacher left the ward, her face was pale.
Xia Yunxi was not tough enough and went out to see the female teacher off.
However, after Li Hanting's intimidation, Xia Yunxi's comfort was of no use at all.
Looking at the female teacher's absent-minded back as she left, Xia Yunxi took a deep breath and turned back to the ward.
Because of Li Hanting, the hospital specially arranged an exclusive VIP ward for him.
The environment is quiet and all facilities are complete.
There was no need to worry too much. Xia Yunxi pushed the door open and came in. Li Hanting was still guarding the bedside. He lowered his head, and used his slender finger bones to press his brows tiredly.
Although he was still so noble and intimidating, Xia Yunxi somehow sensed a hint of melancholy from him.
Is it because of Li Jinchen?
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he glanced at her calmly, then retracted his gaze. He spoke again, his annoying tone unchanged: "Miss Xia, I asked you to do something extra today that is not in the contract. I will pay you later."
"What do you mean?" Xia Yunxi frowned.
"Oh, Miss Xia, you haven't forgotten what's in the contract, right? Know your place and do what you should do. As for the outside matters, Miss Xia, there's no need to be so hypocritical and run around here."
"Li Hanting, are you sick?" Xia Yunxi couldn't believe that he would say such a thing?
She walked over to the bed and looked at the man sitting in the chair. "Jinchen is my child, the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty. Do you think all my worries and actions are just to fulfill the terms of that contract?"
Li Hanting raised his eyes, and the sarcasm in his deep eyes was like a sharp blade.
He stretched out his legs and crossed his arms over his chest. "Xia Yunxi, don't bring up your feelings or your hard work. Since you abandoned him from the beginning, do you think you are still worthy of mentioning your identity in front of him?"
