"Why has it caught fire again?"
Ke Shurong frowned as she looked at the numbers on the thermometer.
Tonight, Ke Shurong was worried and got up in the middle of the night to check on her daughter. When she came in, she saw her daughter's face was red and she was frowning as she called for her mother. It broke her heart.
Xia Hengyuan saw that his wife hadn't returned to the room for a while, so he got up and came over. However, since it wasn't convenient for him to go into his daughter's bedroom, he waited in the living room outside.
When Ke Shurong came out and saw Xia Hengyuan, she said, "Old Xia, Xiaobao has a fever again, it's almost 40 degrees Celsius. Go and have someone prepare a car to take Xiaobao to the hospital."
"good."
Because there was a good hospital near their home, the Xia family never considered hiring a private doctor. After all, when someone is really sick, a hospital is definitely more reliable.
Ke Shurong went back to the room and carefully changed Xia Wenxi's clothes. Xia Wenxi was in a daze throughout the process, probably because she was delirious from the fever.
Xia Wenxi was taken to the hospital and given an injection without her knowledge, and her fever didn't subside until almost dawn.
I woke up groggily this morning, thinking I was still on my two-meter-wide bed in my bedroom at home. I instinctively rolled over, and then—
Thump—
"ah!"
"Miss?"
"What's wrong with Xiaobao?"
"How did you fall? Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?"
This jolt completely woke Xia Wenxi up. When she opened her eyes, she found herself sitting on the ground, and Ke Shurong was anxiously trying to help her up.
With the help of Ke Shurong and the caregiver, Xia Wenxi lay back down on the bed.
"Mom, how did I end up in the hospital? I thought I was still at home, then I rolled over and fell down."
Xia Wenxi's buttocks were still a little sore, but she was too embarrassed to rub them, so she could only quietly lift her buttocks slightly.
“You had a high fever last night, so your father and I took you to the hospital. The fever only came down after you got an injection. Your father had a shareholders’ meeting today, so he left early this morning.”
Ke Shurong only went to the rest room next door to sleep for a few hours after her daughter's fever subsided. She immediately ran out when she heard the noise outside.
She touched her daughter's head and only breathed a sigh of relief when she felt her body temperature was normal.
"The fever has finally gone down. The doctor said it was probably just from catching a chill. Your immune system is weak, so you developed a high fever very quickly. Are you hungry? Why don't you eat something?"
Upon hearing this, the caregiver left the ward.
Xia Wenxi looked at Ke Shurong and, thinking of the dream she had last night, whispered to her, "Mom, I think I dreamt about you last night."
Ke Shurong gently tidied her daughter's hair and asked happily, "Really? What did you dream about?"
"I don't remember very clearly, but I think it was when I was sick, and then you took care of me at night, Mom."
These were not memories that Xia Wenxi should have had; they should have been the original owner's memories. Xia Wenxi began to wonder if this was a side effect of the transmigration, and that the original owner's memories had not been completely erased.
Or perhaps the dream was just a projection of reality. After all, she was sick last night and Ke Shurong was the one taking care of her. It's not impossible that she projected this memory back to her childhood.
Ke Shurong laughed and said, "You dreamt about your childhood, didn't you? From... until I was seven and started elementary school, my health was never very good. I was often sick, and I was worried about it every day. Fortunately, as I grew up, I got sick less often."
Ke Shurong deliberately omitted a part of her sentence, but Xia Wenxi knew that she was referring to the time after the original owner of the body came to the Xia family from the orphanage.
As they were talking, the caregiver brought over breakfast.
"Mom, eat with me."
The hospital breakfast is plentiful, including Chinese-style steamed buns, pastries, and porridge, as well as Western-style milk and egg sandwiches.
Ke Shurong didn't refuse, "Okay, Mom will eat with you."
The steamed buns were filled with green vegetables, and they tasted good, but they were rather bland. Xia Wenxi felt a bit tasteless in her mouth and didn't really want to eat them.
But fearing that her mother would worry if she didn't eat enough, she ate the buns in a few bites and then drank a bowl of porridge with fried eggs and side dishes.
"I'm stuffed."
In fact, Ke Shurong had also noticed that her daughter didn't like the food at the hospital, so she said, "When we get home, I'll have Sister Li make you something delicious to nourish you. You've lost weight after having a fever all night."
Xia Wenxi couldn't help but laugh, "Lost weight in just one night? That's much more effective than diet pills."
Ke Shurong realized that what she said seemed a bit outrageous, and suppressed a laugh as she said, "She's thin in her mother's heart."
——
The fever was caused by catching a cold, and she was usually fine once the fever subsided. After breakfast, the doctor came to check on her and, after confirming that her fever had gone down, approved her discharge.
On her way home, Ke Shurong sent a message to Xia Hengyuan, telling him that they had already returned home from the hospital, so that he wouldn't have to go to the hospital again after leaving the company.
Sitting in the car seat, Xia Wenxi still felt a little pain in her buttocks, but the place was too awkward for her to say anything, so she could only shift her buttocks uncomfortably, hoping to find a sitting position that would relieve the pain.
But even though they were all sitting in the car, Ke Shurong could tell that something was wrong with her, even if she didn't say anything.
However, I didn't expect her bottom to hurt at first. Seeing that she couldn't sit still, I asked her, "Do you need to go to the toilet? We're almost home."
Xia Wenxi blushed, even with her thick skin. "It's not Mommy, it's just that my bottom hurts a little."
"Your butt hurts?!"
Xia Wenxi glanced at the driver and wondered if he might be hearing impaired...
"Did you fall at the hospital just now? Does it hurt a lot? Should we turn around and go back to the hospital to have the doctor take a look?"
"No, no, no need to look. It doesn't hurt much, just a little bit."
"Then when we get home, Mom will take a look at you."
After Ke Shurong finished speaking, she saw that her daughter's face was red, and knew that she was embarrassed, so she smiled and said:
“What’s there to be embarrassed about? When you were little, your mom used to bathe you, and you wouldn’t let the housekeeper bathe you, you insisted on being bathed by your mom.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Wenxi instinctively replied, "Because my mom tells me stories while I'm taking a bath."
She froze as soon as she finished speaking.
The stories her mother told her while bathing her were her memories, not those of the original owner.
Xia Wenxi began to think about how to remedy her words, and then she heard Ke Shurong say:
"Do you remember? At first, you didn't want the housekeeper to bathe you, so I had to bathe you myself. You liked to listen to stories before bed, so I tried telling you stories while bathing you, and it actually worked quite well."
After Ke Shurong finished speaking, she noticed that her daughter's complexion was not good, and she was startled.
"What's wrong, Xiao Bao? Is it hurting a lot? Lao Han, let's go back to the hospital."
"No, no need, Mom, let's go straight home." Xia Wenxi came back to her senses and explained to Ke Shurong, "My stomach suddenly hurts, and I need to go to the toilet."
