Gu Tingxiao returned ahead of schedule.
Xiao Anman had a fever, not long after she met Helian Min.
The little girl lay on the princess bed, her body and face flushed red from the heat.
The unprecedented, searing pain caused Xiao Anman, who was in a semi-conscious state due to a fever, to moan intermittently.
Her usually sweet, childlike voice has become somewhat hoarse.
Gu Tingxiao touched Xiao Anman's forehead to check her temperature and was startled by the fact that her body temperature was far higher than that of a normal person with a fever.
Such a temperature is unbearable even for adults.
"What on earth happened?!"
How could An'an, who was sweetly telling him to come back early to play with her before he left this morning, suddenly have a fever?!
And the fever is so high?!
The people responsible for taking care of Xiao Anman were trembling with fear at Gu Tingxiao's icy expression.
"Sir... everything was arranged for Miss today as usual, we don't know what went wrong."
"That's not what I want to hear!"
Feeling sorry for the suffering Xiao Anman, Gu Tingxiao lowered his voice and scolded her.
"Well... this afternoon, the young lady met the young master from the Helian family next door... other than that, everything was exactly the same as usual."
"Perhaps the young lady was frightened by the young master of the Helian family..."
Nonsense! Xiao Anman is not such a timid and easily frightened person at all.
Gu Tingxiao couldn't afford to investigate the servants' dereliction of duty right now; the most important thing was Xiao Anman's health.
Simple home treatments are clearly insufficient for the current situation.
Gu Tingxiao picked up Xiao Anman and rushed to the Gu family's private hospital.
Feverish and delirious, Xiao An felt as if she were in her father's arms. The unbearable pain on her forehead made her keep rubbing her head against Gu Tingxiao.
"An'an, just bear with it a little longer, Daddy will take you to see a doctor."
It felt as if he was holding a small fireball in his arms, but the scorching heat of the fireball made Gu Tingxiao feel increasingly cold in his heart.
It was too hot, so hot that Gu Tingxiao was starting to wonder if Xiao Anman had a fever or some other illness he had never heard of.
"Daddy~"
Her forehead was itchy and burning, and Xiao Anman's little hands weakly clutched Gu Tingxiao's clothes. Her throat was getting drier and drier.
"Daddy's here, An'an, don't be afraid."
Gu Tingxiao tried to comfort Xiao Anman, but he couldn't calm his own uneasy heart.
"Drive faster!"
He never realized the journey to the hospital could be so long. This man, who had never been able to remain calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, lost control of his emotions for the first time.
"Yes, sir!"
The driver, who was originally going to say that the road was a bit congested today, immediately agreed after seeing Gu Tingxiao, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, through the rearview mirror.
The driver had never seen Gu Tingxiao so irrational.
When they arrived at the hospital entrance, the medical staff, who had already received the news, opened a green channel and immediately took Xiao Anman from Gu Tingxiao's hands.
In the cold hospital corridor, Gu Tingxiao, having cleared away all irrelevant people, stood ramrod straight at the door of the examination room, his gaze fixed intently on the door.
I don't know how much time passed, it felt like an eternity, until finally, the door opened.
How is An'an?
The doctor in charge of giving An'an a full-body examination was forced to take a step back by Gu Tingxiao, who strode over in one step.
"Miss's situation is a bit complicated."
The last time Gu Tingxiao brought Xiao Anman to the hospital for a check-up, the blood tests and physical examinations showed no abnormalities.
However, none of Xiao Anman's physical data today matches the previous examination data.
Explain yourself!
Gu Tingxiao had never felt that his patience was so short.
"The young lady has a persistent high fever. We will take measures to bring her temperature down first, because the values from the two comprehensive examinations are completely inconsistent, so we cannot make a decision immediately."
It means it wasn't a fever at all.
"These are the young lady's recent medical report and her previous medical report."
Children's illnesses can seem simple, but when they become serious, the consequences can be unpredictable.
Treating a case like Xiao Anman's, which has never been seen before, with medical interventions could often lead to worse outcomes.
Gu Tingxiao took the reports. The data on both reports were indeed the same as what the doctor had said, and none of them matched the description.
How is An'an doing now?
To be honest, Xiao Anman's current situation is not optimistic.
Because the doctors had never encountered such a difficult situation before, and her body temperature kept rising.
Not to mention Gu Tingxiao, they were all a little uneasy.
The people working at the Gu family's private hospital aren't just anyone who can get in; they are all top talents with expertise in medicine.
But now, even a group of top talents gathered together feel helpless, so how can the situation be optimistic?
"The young lady's situation is special. We will arrange for her to go to the isolation room immediately for fever-reducing treatment."
The fever needs to be brought down first.
"No matter what method you use, I want you to do everything in your power to cure An'an in the shortest possible time."
His worries became a reality, and Gu Tingxiao's voice became dry from anxiety.
"We will, Mr. Gu."
The doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Neither the feverish little baby inside nor the cold-faced monster in front of him seemed easy to deal with.
Xiao Anman was transferred to an isolation ward.
Through the thick glass, Gu Tingxiao could see the small body lying alone on the hospital bed.
The high temperature made her cheeks flushed red, and even her lips were dry and chapped. Her small chest rose and fell irregularly because she was having difficulty breathing.
The child who was so healthy this morning has turned into this state in the blink of an eye, without even knowing why.
Self-blame and guilt welled up in Gu Tingxiao's heart.
No, we can't just sit here and wait. Just because these people don't know what to do doesn't mean others can't.
Gu Tingxiao left the door of the isolation room, took out his phone, and started making a call.
As night fell, a dark figure appeared outside the window of the isolation room on the top floor of the hospital.
The upside-down black figure was completely covered from head to toe, with only a pair of amber eyes showing.
His eyes gleamed with an excited, bloodthirsty light.
I was delayed by something a few days ago, and it's been so long since I last visited. I wonder if this little thing still remembers me.
It's an honor for her that such a fragile little thing can get the work of an S-level assassin like herself.
I wonder what expression this little guy will have when his delicate skin is cut open and blood gushes out?
They must be terrified.
Just imagining that scene made Xuan Yin excited.
