"The children still have fevers, so I won't be going on this mission."
Jiang Jingzhou made a decision: "Dad, please tell the leaders that I'll accept whatever punishment is due."
Jiang Guofu was speechless for a moment. He dared not persuade his son to participate in the mission. Hua Xiuyun was right about some things. A man should not only have a career, but also a family.
Between the two, family is definitely more important. He hadn't focused much on family before and didn't want his son to be like him.
Neither of them wants to leave the hospital now; they want to stay with the child until the fever subsides.
[Jiang Jingzhou won't be able to participate in the mission this time, so he won't die, right?]
[I don't know if the plot has changed now, and I don't know how it will develop next.]
[No! I still want to see them being all lovey-dovey! Please bless my Captain Jiang!]
[It's hilarious that Fang Leiluo is waiting for Jiang Jingzhou to die so he can take his place. I'm seriously doubting if he's really the male lead.]
Lin Zhaoyue became even more certain that as long as he didn't participate in this mission, he would be fine.
But the price of this incident was that both children developed fevers, and Lin Zhaoyue's heart was once again filled with worry for the children.
Fortunately, the special medicine arrived quickly. The medicine was administered to the child based on his/her weight, and it will take about half an hour for it to take effect.
Considering that the children were all premature, the hospital made special arrangements to send them to the intensive care unit.
Family members are not allowed to visit; information about the child's condition can only be obtained through the nurses.
Just like when the children were put into incubators, the whole family's mood suddenly plummeted.
Unable to enter the ward, she could only stand in the corridor. Perhaps because she had been standing for too long, Lin Zhaoyue's legs suddenly gave way and she bumped into the wall. Jiang Jingzhou quickly supported her arm, "Are you alright?"
“…It’s nothing,” Lin Zhaoyue shook her head, her face pale. This is how a mother feels; she wished she could suffer in place of the children in the ward, as long as they could grow up healthy and safe.
“Zhaoyue, we can’t all stay here. After the children’s fevers break, you two can go back and rest for a while.”
Hua Xiuyun arranged, "Your father and I will stay here during the day, and you two will stay here at night. We need to split up. It's too much for anyone to stay here all the time. The doctor said it's normal for the baby to get sick. Newborns are prone to pneumonia. We've already given the medication, so there's no need to worry too much."
"Yes, Mom, I know..." Lin Zhaoyue nodded slightly, deciding to wait for the children's fever to subside before heading back.
Jiang Guofu did not say anything more.
He took the time to explain the situation to the military region. He listened to the angry roar coming from the other end of the phone, and Jiang Guofu hung up the phone without expression!
"I've been working for so many years and I've never taken a single day off. Now that my kids are sick, what's wrong with me taking a few days off?!"
Hua Xiuyun: "..." You don't even need to ask to know that she definitely didn't say anything nice to him.
Jiang Guofu casually reminded Jiang Jingzhou, "You don't need to ask for leave. If they ask you later, just shift all the blame onto me. None of them know how to be considerate."
...Good news came around noon: the children's fevers had subsided!
The whole family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Zhaoyue and Jiang Jingzhou went home, and they would come to the hospital later.
With the children sick, Lin Zhaoyue has no appetite at all. She can't even eat a bite of the lamb buns that Jiang Jingzhou bought on the way, and she even feels nauseous.
"You eat it."
Lin Zhaoyue turned her head to look out the car window, her mind preoccupied with the children.
"Food is essential for life, you won't eat a single bite?" Jiang Jingzhou hesitated for a moment, "Or do you still think these dishes are not good? I'll go buy you some more?" Before he could finish speaking, Lin Zhaoyue spoke up again, "I really can't eat, so please don't force me to eat."
Jiang Jingzhou: "..."
He only ate two and then stopped.
Back home, Lin Zhaoyue was just about to take a nap when Jiang Jingzhou suddenly said, "Zhaoyue, do you think the children's sudden fever and illness is a sign from God?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhaoyue abruptly sat up, her tone slightly tense as she spoke, "You noticed it too?!"
Jiang Jingzhou responded with a deep "hmm," and said, "I just felt something was off. After you told me last time, I didn't believe you at first, but the children suddenly got sick again, which conveniently prevented me from participating in the mission. Since this is God's arrangement, then I won't go!"
Lin Zhaoyue shared the same thoughts as him.
There is a divine will in the dark.
She reached out and hugged Jiang Jingzhou tightly, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Jingzhou, I've never had a mother since I was little. I don't know what it's like to have a biological mother taking care of you, but I made up my mind early on that I must give my children a complete family."
"I don't care how high you climb in the future, I just hope you can live well, for my sake and for the children's sake, you must be well!"
Both paternal and maternal love are crucial and indispensable for children.
Lin Zhaoyue felt much better after speaking her mind.
Jiang Jingzhou promised her that he would live well no matter what missions he went on or what he did in the future, and he would not let his family worry.
——
Ren Zhaodi belatedly realized that Jiang Jingzhou hadn't gone on the mission. Lin Zhaoyue really had some skills; she was able to stop such a big thing on the eve of the mission. Impressive!
Was Jiang Jingzhou's life saved?
This matter really broke Fang Leiluo's defenses.
Ren Zhaodi had previously agreed that he would marry Lin Zhaoyue once she became a widow, but in the end, she's perfectly fine!
Or was it that when Lin Zhaoyue approached her that day, Ren Zhaodi, having nothing better to do, gave her a heads-up?
Otherwise, how could Jiang Jingzhou have so coincidentally not participated in the mission!
There's a problem!
And the problems involved are quite significant.
Fang Leilu couldn't hold back any longer and confronted Ren Zhaodi, but Ren Zhaodi just laughed at him lightly, "Look at you, so spineless. He's alive, and you immediately give up, thinking you're not as good as Jiang Jingzhou?!"
"Don't try to change the subject! Why didn't you keep your word last time? Didn't I tell you not to meddle in my business? You're eating my food, drinking my water, and living in my house now. I'm already being lenient by not kicking you out." Fang Leiluo gritted his teeth, his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to devour Ren Zhaodi alive.
Seeing him in this state, it would be a lie to say that Ren Zhaodi wasn't scared.
"Yes, Lin Zhaoyue came to see me that day, and it was indeed about this matter, but I didn't say much. What does it have to do with me that Lin Zhaoyue was able to get him to temporarily not participate in the mission?"
"You shouldn't have reminded Lin Zhaoyue at all!"
