"Mom, call Dad over and ask him to come and look after Junping. You and I will take Junhe to the hospital!"
Jiang Manyue immediately decided to take the child to the hospital. The child was so feverish that there was no time to waste.
Li Guifen quickly shook her head. "You're still in confinement after giving birth. How can you go out? It's so cold outside in the middle of the night!"
Jiang Manyue was anxious. "The child is already in this state, how can we care about anything else? Mom, don't hesitate!"
As she said that, Jiang Manyue put on another coat, grabbed her wallet, and ran out with the child in her arms.
As soon as she picked up the child, Jiang Manyue suddenly felt something was wrong. She was too anxious just now and didn’t notice that the child was wrapped in such a thick quilt!
"Mom, he has a fever, and you still wrapped him in such a thick blanket!"
Li Guifen explained in a panic, "I, I just wanted him to sweat it out. It would be fine if he sweated."
Jiang Manyue was so angry that she untied the child's blanket and ran out with the child in her arms.
Li Guifen even picked up the quilt and chased her, "Man Yue! Jun He has a fever! He can't catch a cold again!"
Jiang Manyue ignored her and ran away with the child in her arms. Li Guifen had no choice but to ask Lu Qingyou to look after Junping while she chased after Jiang Manyue.
After running all the way to the hospital, Jiang Manyue hurried to find the doctor on duty, "Doctor, please take a look, my child has a high fever and his body is terribly burned."
The doctor quickly asked her to put the child down and was about to examine him when Li Guifen caught up with her.
"Oh, Man Yue, this child has a fever like this, and you don't wrap him in a blanket, but run around holding him like this, and he's going to get burned!"
Jiang Manyue was so angry that she wanted to curse. The child had such a high fever, and she covered him with a quilt. It was a blessing that the child didn't suffocate to death!
The doctor also frowned, "Comrade, it's so hot, how can you cover the child with such a thick blanket!"
Li Guifen tried to explain, but the doctor waved her hand and interrupted her, "Stop talking. Let me lower the child's temperature first."
After the doctor finished speaking, he went to get a bottle of alcohol, dipped a cotton ball in it, and wiped Junhe's neck, wrists, arms and behind his ears. Then he cut a piece of gauze, dipped it in cold water, and applied it to Junhe's forehead.
Li Guifen was anxious. How could she strip the child naked and leave him to freeze?
"Doctor, the child has a fever and is freezing! Why don't you cover him up? If he's lying naked like this, what will he do if he gets cold again?"
Jiang Manyue was so angry that she almost died, and the doctor was also angered by Li Guifen's ignorant idea.
"Your child got sick because of covering himself up! He didn't catch a cold at all, he caught a fever! You're still covering him up, and if you keep covering him up, your child will die!"
Li Guifen was dumbfounded. How could a heaty condition cause a cold?
"It's so hot, and children's body temperatures are already higher than adults'. They're more afraid of heat. You're harming them by covering them with such a thick blanket!"
The doctor shook the thick blanket that Li Guifen brought and scolded her rudely.
"How could I possibly harm him? I was just worried he'd catch a cold! The child isn't even a month old yet! He can't be exposed to the wind!"
The doctor was so angry that he was speechless. He had made it very clear that the child was afraid of heat and could not be covered like this. Why didn't this old lady insist on making him understand?
"Mom, the doctor said that children are afraid of heat and they shouldn't be covered up. Why do you insist on your opinion? Didn't you see how Junhe got covered up like this? He's so young and he has such a fever. If his brain is damaged, what will happen in the future?"
As Jiang Manyue spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Junhe was so young, and he had such a serious fever before he was even a month old. If anything serious happened to him from the fever, she would hate herself to death.
She should have thought of this earlier. If she handed the child over to her mother-in-law, she would definitely keep him well-protected. It was all her fault for only wanting to take it easy, and ended up harming the child like this.
Jiang Manyue broke down and cried, and Li Guifen was so scared that her legs went weak. If something really happened to her grandson, how would she have the face to see her son and daughter-in-law!
Seeing Jiang Manyue crying so sadly, the doctor quickly comforted her, "Comrade, please don't cry yet. The child was brought here in time. His fever is slowly subsiding. There shouldn't be any serious problems."
After hearing this, Jiang Manyue hurried to touch Junhe's body. Sure enough, the temperature was much lower than before. She was so excited that she couldn't help crying.
"Alright, alright, both of you stop making a fuss here. The child needs to be hospitalized for two days of observation. If he's fine, he can be discharged. Go handle the paperwork tomorrow morning and pay the fees. I'll let the child stay with me tonight, and one of you can stay here."
Jiang Manyue quickly wiped away her tears and said, "I, I'll stay here and watch him."
The doctor nodded and said, "Okay, you stay here. Let your mother go back first. Don't forget to come and complete the paperwork tomorrow morning."
Jiang Manyue agreed, turned around and said to Li Guifen, "Mom, go back and look after Junping. Don't cover him with a quilt anymore. The small blanket I cover him with is enough."
How could Li Guifen dare not refuse? Junhe was already in this state. If something happened to Junping again, she would have no chance of living.
Jiang Manyue was worried and kept giving instructions, but only after Li Guifen's repeated assurances did she let her go back.
After Li Guifen left, Jiang Manyue stayed by Junhe's bedside. Seeing that his breathing was steady and his body temperature had dropped, she finally felt a little relieved.
In the second half of the night, Junhe, whose fever had subsided, started to make a fuss again. Jiang Manyue was scared to death, but she soon remembered that it was time for the two children to have their second night feeding.
Jiang Manyue quickly pulled up the bed curtains, fed Junhe, changed his diaper, and then coaxed him to sleep.
Seeing that Junhe was able to eat and defecate, Jiang Manyue felt more relieved.
After finally making it to morning, Jiang Manyue entrusted the child to the doctor's care while she went to handle the formalities and moved into the ward with the child.
Li Guifen came early in the morning with food and drinks, as well as a pile of diapers and milk powder.
When Jiang Manyue asked about Junping's condition, Li Guifen quickly said that everything was fine. He had pooped again after feeding in the morning, and she had fallen asleep before leaving.
Knowing that her mother-in-law would not lie about these things, Jiang Manyue felt relieved. After eating the food her mother-in-law brought her, she let her go back.
Lu Qingyou was the only one at home, and he didn't know how to take care of children. Jiang Manyue was worried, and so was Li Guifen, so they hurried back.
Jiang Manyue stayed in the hospital alone to look after Junhe. Because the child was too young, the doctor did not give him any medicine. He just wanted to observe him just in case. So it was just like being at home, and Jiang Manyue did not have to worry too much.
In the afternoon, Jiang Manyue had just coaxed Junhe to sleep when she heard some noise at the door of the ward. Just as she was about to go out to check, she saw Lu Lin open the door and rush in.
