In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 197: Sister Also Wants to See Dad

The aunt explained, "Tuantuan didn’t say where he was feeling unwell."

"I first noticed because Tuantuan should have woken up after an hour of nap, and when I saw it was about time, I went to check on him in the room. That’s when I discovered his little face had turned red!"

"That’s when I realized he had a fever."

"I’m sorry, I should have been more attentive," the aunt said regretfully.

"It’s hard for children to articulate when they’re feeling unwell," Yanchuan empathized deeply, as if he could feel how uncomfortable Tuantuan was at that moment.

Yanchuan sat by the bed, reached out to hold Tuantuan in his arms, and took his temperature again; it had reached thirty-nine degrees.

He asked Tuantuan again where he felt unwell, but Tuantuan just shook his head and weakly said, "Dad, I want to sleep."

"Then sleep." Yanchuan said tenderly as he held Tuantuan, gently patting him.

Indeed, Tuantuan closed his eyes in Yanchuan’s arms, and the ward quieted down as Tuantuan fell asleep.

Yanchuan held Tuantuan continuously, not letting go until his temperature gradually started to decrease, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Both husband and wife waited here, staying overnight at the hospital because Yanchuan said children could easily get fevers again during the night.

They didn’t know if Tuantuan would have a fever tonight, but the weather had been bad these last few days, no one knew if it would suddenly rain heavily; it was safer in the hospital.

And so, they waited until midnight, and Tuantuan indeed developed a fever.

Yanchuan noticed immediately and then tried everything to cool him down; after all, Tuantuan had already received an IV in the afternoon, and there wasn’t enough time between then and now to give another IV for cooling.

Tuantuan’s whole body was burning hot, but he neither cried nor fussed, just lying obediently on the hospital bed.

"Could this become a problem?" Xu Jinzhi was exhausted and terribly worried as she watched Tuantuan.

Yanchuan was also very concerned, but he knew he mustn’t show it, especially since Xu Jinzhi was already worried enough.

While using a warm towel to wipe Tuantuan’s body, he said in a deep voice, "Don’t worry, fevers are like this, they can reoccur easily at night."

Xu Jinzhi didn’t know what else to say at that moment and could only follow Yanchuan’s lead.

After much effort, Xu Jinzhi and Yanchuan finally managed to reduce Tuantuan’s fever, by which time dawn had already broken.

"It’s okay now, the fever has subsided; you should get some rest," Yanchuan said softly.

Xu Jinzhi looked up at Yanchuan, exhausted indeed, but truly unable to sleep.

Yanchuan continued, "Tuantuan is fine now, you sleep for a bit, I’ll watch over him. Once you’ve rested enough, we can take turns."

"Okay," Xu Jinzhi responded somberly.

Xu Jinzhi was genuinely exhausted; although she thought she couldn’t sleep, once she lay down, she fell into a deep sleep quickly. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Seeing Xu Jinzhi asleep, Yanchuan looked over at Tuantuan beside him and couldn’t help reaching out his hand to gently touch Tuantuan’s head.

Later, Xie Yanchuan also slept for a while, but because he constantly kept an eye on Tuantuan’s condition, he didn’t sleep well, but it could still be considered somewhat restful.

Early morning.

When the housemaid came to deliver breakfast, both Xie Yanchuan and Tuantuan had already woken up, and Tuantuan seemed much better.

After they had breakfast, the doctor came to check on Tuantuan again and confirmed that there were no issues now, which finally put Xie Yanchuan at ease.

The torrential rain had stopped, and the sky now gave a refreshingly new feel, with a hint of breeze under the sunlight, making it very comfortable.

"Dad, what’s wrong with Mom?" Tuantuan couldn’t help asking his father, but because he was worried about waking her, he deliberately lowered his voice.

Xie Yanchuan explained, "Mom didn’t rest well last night, so she needs to sleep a bit more."

"Oh." Tuantuan didn’t ask further, because Mom often slept in; there was nothing unusual about it.

"Does it feel stuffy? Let Dad take you out for a walk." As Xie Yanchuan spoke, he picked up Tuantuan.

Xie Yanchuan carried Tuantuan to the small garden downstairs, where there were many people, both adults and children, all enjoying the clear weather after the storm.

Tuantuan looked around; it was a completely unfamiliar place with nothing interesting to play with, so he stayed close to Xie Yanchuan.

Before long, a little girl stumbled over and then curiously stared at Xie Yanchuan and Tuantuan.

The little girl’s parent quickly came over, apologizing to Xie Yanchuan while trying to take the little girl away.

However, the girl didn’t want to leave. She shook off her mom’s hand and continued to stare straight at Xie Yanchuan and Tuantuan.

Xie Yanchuan smiled gently at the girl, "Hello, little friend, do you want to play with the big brother?"

The girl didn’t speak, just cutely tilted her head, and the mom apologized, "I’m sorry, she’s just like this, easily drawn to others."

"That’s okay," Xie Yanchuan said gently, then looked at the little girl with a bit of regret and added, "Big brother can’t play with you today; he had a fever yesterday and hasn’t fully recovered yet."

Although the fever had subsided, Xie Yanchuan hesitated to allow him to contact too many people, worrying both about Tuantuan getting sick again and about transmitting it to other children.

Neither child spoke, just looked at each other until finally, the girl’s mom picked her up.

After saying goodbye to Xie Yanchuan, she left with her child in her arms, but even as she was carried away, the girl still kept her gaze on Tuantuan, and Tuantuan looked back at her.

Once the little girl was carried away by her mom, Tuantuan snapped back to reality and turned to Xie Yanchuan, "Sister also really wants to see dad."

Xie Yanchuan was a bit puzzled, as they hadn’t spoken earlier; how would Tuantuan know?

Or perhaps the way the little girl stared made Tuantuan think she also wanted to see her own dad.

Regardless, Xie Yanchuan didn’t think much about it; after all, children’s thoughts are often leapfrogging. He gently said, "She will see him."

Tuantuan nodded solemnly, "Yes, sister will see him."

Seeing Tuantuan taking it so seriously, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t help but chuckle and casually changed the subject.

And Tuantuan didn’t dwell on that matter either; following Xie Yanchuan, he had already tossed that thought aside.
