Chapter 731 Did you take your medicine?
At 10 p.m. in the northern part of the city, a black Maybach drove into the Yuxi Mansion.
As soon as the car stopped, the back door opened, and Qi Yue got out and hurried into the house.
Sitting in the car, Zhuang Yu watched his boss's retreating figure as if putting out a fire, and sighed inwardly.
As soon as Qi Yue entered the house, Aunt Zhu immediately came to greet him.
"Sir, you're finally back! Young Master Chenchen's voice is almost hoarse from crying."
Qi Yue took off his black trench coat and handed it to Zhu Ma, then changed his shoes and hurried upstairs: "Where's An Ning?"
"Madam also has a fever. I just took a moment to go see her. She was sleeping soundly, but young master Chenchen was making a fuss about wanting his mother. No matter how we tried to persuade him, it was no use. We also didn't have the heart to wake Madam."
Qi Yue climbed the stairs step by step, asking, "What did the doctor say?"
"They say it's a viral cold."
Qi Yue paused, "Both of them?"
Aunt Zhu nodded, "They said there have been many viral colds lately."
"I see."
Qi Yue stepped onto the last step and found that his youngest son's crying had stopped.
Stop crying?
Qi Yue and Zhu Ma exchanged a puzzled look and quickened their pace toward the children's room.
In the children's room, Shen Anning, wearing a mask, sat on the bed holding her youngest son, gently patting his back.
"Chenchen, be good, Mommy's here."
"Mom, I feel terrible..." Shen Yuanchen sobbed, her hoarse little voice was heartbreaking to hear.
"Mom knows that's how it is when you have a cold. The doctor said that you should close your eyes and go to sleep. You won't feel uncomfortable when you're asleep."
"No... I can't sleep."
"How about Mom sings you a lullaby?"
Xiao Chenchen hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Shen Anning gently patted her youngest son's back and hummed a lullaby.
The woman's voice was soft, conveying a sense of helplessness born of illness.
On his face, which was covered by a mask, his eyebrows and eyes looked tired and dull.
The little dumpling had already cried to her limit, and now nestled in her mother's arms, she didn't even sing two lines of a song before her eyelids drooped and she fell into a deep sleep.
Feeling the small body in her arms go limp, Shen Anning closed her eyes and sighed inwardly.
Qi Yue stood at the door and frowned deeply upon seeing this scene.
He slowly walked into the room.
When the childcare worker saw Qi Yue return, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir."
Shen Anning was taken aback, and when she looked up, she saw the man getting closer.
Qi Yue bent down and reached out his arms. "I'll carry you."
Shen Anning was very tired, so she let him take her youngest son.
Little Chenchen showed signs of waking up as soon as he was in his father's arms. Seeing this, Qi Yue gently patted his bottom and said, "Daddy's back. Go to sleep, be a good boy."
Little Chenchen, who was about to cry again, heard his father's familiar voice, his eyelashes fluttered, his furrowed brows relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep again.
Qi Yue gently patted his youngest son's bottom with his large hand, and looked at Shen Anning and said in a gentle voice, "Leave the child to me, you go back to your room and rest."
Shen Anning nodded and slowly stood up, her body weak and powerless: "Then I'll go back to my room first."
Qi Yue nodded, then asked, "Have you taken your medicine?"
"I ate." Shen Anning's voice was very soft: "The doctor came to see me. It's just a viral cold, which can cause fever. It'll be fine in two or three days."
"If you have a fever, you should drink more water." Qi Yue looked at Zhu Ma standing outside the door: "Help Madam back to her room and pour her some warm water."
"Alright!"
Zhu Ma led Shen Anning back to the master bedroom, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her, saying, "Madam, drinking some water will make you feel better."
Shen Anning nodded, drank most of a glass of warm water, lay down, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep again.
Zhu Ma tucked her in, turned off the main light in the room, leaving only a nightlight, and then left the master bedroom.
...
Half an hour later, Qi Yue put her youngest son on the bed, told the nanny to pay close attention to the child's temperature that night, and then hurriedly returned to the master bedroom.
In the master bedroom, Shen Anning was fast asleep. Qi Yue sat down next to her, touched her forehead and her face, but she did not react at all.
Qi Yue looked at her haggard and sickly appearance and sighed.
He then got up and went into the bathroom.
When he came out again, he was carrying a basin of warm water.
He placed the washbasin on the bedside table and sat down on the edge of the bed.
He soaked the towel, wrung it out, and waited for it to cool to a comfortable temperature before placing it on Shen Anning's forehead.
Shen Anning's body temperature did not come down, and Qi Yue's physical cooling methods were ineffective.
In the middle of the night, the temperature even soared to 39.8°C. Qi Yue couldn't hold back any longer and called her family doctor.
The family doctor came over, listened to the lungs, looked serious, and suggested going to the hospital for a chest X-ray.
Qi Yue dared not delay and carried the unconscious Shen Anning down from the second floor.
After getting into the car, Shen Anning woke up. Seeing that she was in the car, she frowned and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Your family doctor said you might have pneumonia and suggested you go to the hospital for a chest X-ray."
"We're going to the hospital, what if Chenchen wakes up in the middle of the night..."
"I just called my parents-in-law and my dad, and they're on their way."
"But……"
“Listen to me, Chenchen has elders to keep him company.” Qi Yue interrupted Shen Anning, looking at her with a serious expression: “You are sicker than Chenchen now, even if you stay at home you can’t take care of Chenchen.”
Shen Anning pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Qi Yue is right; she's having trouble even carrying Chenchen in her current state.
Fortunately, there were several elders who could help.
"We'll be at the hospital in a little while, so get some more sleep." Qi Yue wrapped the blanket around her even tighter. "Lean on my shoulder, don't think about anything, and listen to the doctor when we get to the hospital."
Shen Anning responded and closed her eyes, falling back into a half-dreaming, half-awake state.
...
Upon arriving at Qin's Hospital, we naturally went through the green channel.
The chest X-ray results confirmed it was indeed pneumonia.
This requires hospitalization.
After all that trouble, we were transferred to a ward and started an IV drip at four in the morning.
Shen Anning lay on the bed, looking at Qi Yue sitting on the edge of the bed, raising his hand to pinch his brow, and felt a little sorry for him: "You were busy on your business trip, and after returning to the country you didn't sleep all night to take care of us, mother and child. You must be very tired."
Qi Yue looked up at her and smiled slightly, "It's alright, I slept on the plane back."
This is to comfort Shen Anning.
Actually, he hasn't slept much these past few days.
I received another call from that person before boarding my flight back...
With his wife and children sick, and one worry after another, he couldn't sleep at all.
But in front of Shen Anning, Qi Yue did not show his agitation.
"The IV drip has started, your fever should break soon. Close your eyes and go to sleep, I'll stay here and watch over you."
Surprisingly, Shen Anning seemed to have regained some energy. "I'm not sleepy anymore. Do you want to come up and lie down for a bit?"
The VIP hospital bed is a bit bigger. Qi Yue hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Then I'll lie down with you."
Shen Anning smiled and immediately moved aside, "Come on up."
Qi Yue helplessly reminded him, "Slow down, be careful with the IV needle in your hand."
The couple lay down together.
The two were standing close together.
Shen Anning felt much more at ease when she smelled his familiar scent.
Did the doctor say how long I need to stay in the hospital?
"It depends on the situation, but pneumonia patients usually need to stay in the hospital for five to seven days."
Shen Anning's first thought was that she had to appear in court the day after tomorrow.
"This is Uncle Qin's hospital. Can I apply for early discharge or take leave?"
Why did you leave the hospital before you were fully recovered?
"I have a court hearing the day after tomorrow, it's very important, and I can't be absent."
Qi Yue knew that her case was rather special, so he pursed his lips and sighed softly, "Then quickly close your eyes and get a good night's sleep, and try to recover some energy the day after tomorrow."
