Chuchu didn’t know when she arrived at the hospital. She only felt her head was very heavy and her breath was hot. Her entire body was in pain from the shaking in Liang Wen’s arms.
Liang Wen had worked at a construction site for two years and had a lot of strength. He carried Chuchu all the way to the hospital and didn’t even sit down.
However, he still couldn’t help but pant, feeling his heart beating particularly fast. Chuchu was like a soft doll in his arms.
The weather had been stormy for the past few days, and the temperature had fluctuated greatly. There was a long line at the pediatrics department, and the corridor was filled with children crying.
Liang Wen was already very annoyed, and with so many children crying and wailing, he only felt anger rushing to his head.
At this moment, Chuchu also raised her head in a daze. “Where is this, Dad? ”
“The hospital.” Liang Wen touched her wet hair. “What’s wrong? Aare you uncomfortable because of the noise?”
“Humm” Chuchu replied and laid her head on Liang Wen’s shoulder again. “I want Mommy.”
Qu Zhi was still learning to sing children’s songs with Sisi.
Although Sisi was in class, her eyes followed her closely. Her mother’s gaze could not leave her for even half a step! That was why Qu Zhi had never taken out her phone.
Liang Wen sighed. “Mom will be back after we’re done with the doctor.”
In fact, he was a little resentful of Qu Zhi. Why did she go to experience class when the child was so important? She didn’t even pick up his calls.
However, it was all in vain. The most important thing right now was to treat Chuchu.
The rain outside was very solid and heavy. When it hit the plastic shed outside, it made pitter-patter sounds. The wind was also very strong, and the raindrops splashed onto the steps, making people feel cold.
Liang Wen carried Chuchu and walked around in the corridor. Finally, it was the doctor’s turn. He took her temperature and found that Chuchu’s fever had subsided a little. The doctor prescribed some medicine for her and she would be fine as long as she took it on time.
Liang Wen heaved a long sigh of relief.
Chuchu, who was in his arms, had already fallen asleep. Liang Wen gently kissed her on the head and felt that his arm was no longer sore.
It was still drizzling when they walked out of the hospital, but it had gotten much lighter.
Chuchu felt the raindrops falling on her face, and they were cool and sharp. She wanted to cry, but she didn’t even have the strength to do so. She could only say softly, “I want Mommy.”
At this moment, Liang Wen called again and Qu Zhi finally picked up. The background sound on the other end was very noisy, and the kindergarten teacher was still dragging out her voice to teach the children how to sing.
“What are you doing? Sisi’s class will be over soon.” What can’t we talk about when we’re back?
Liang Wen wanted to get angry, but Chuchu was still running a fever. He was more anxious than angry.
“Chuchu has a fever. We just came back from the hospital.” Liang Wen had suppressed his voice, but Qu Zhi could still hear the anger in his voice.
“We’ll be back soon. Turn off the air conditioner. Don’t cover her with the blanket if she’s sweating.” Although Qu Zhi was very calm when she gave the order, she couldn’t help but feel anxious.
But Sisi was still secretly looking at her. If she went home now, Sisi probably wouldn’t be in the mood for class.
Aunt Hui saw that Qu Zhi was a little nervous and knew Chuchu was probably not feeling well. “Why don’t you accompany Sisi while I go back to take care of her?”
On the other end, Chuchu heard her mother’s voice and finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. She cried out, “Boohoohoo! Mommy, I want to vomit. I won’t eat ice cream anymore.”
It turned out she had eaten three ice creams when the adults were not at home yesterday. Usually, Qu Zhi would only let her eat two sticks at most.
Qu Zhi was angry and amused at the same time. “See, it’s bad for your health. I’ll teach you a lesson.”
Chuchu was still in tears. “I won’t eat ice cream this week.”
Liang Wen smacked her little butt hard. “If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have gone to the hospital with you. I’d have made you suffer.”
After returning home, Chuchu obediently drank her medicine. Not long after, her fever went down, and her body no longer hurt.
She looked at her watch. It was only half past one!
Sisi wasn’t out of school yet.
Right now, Chuchu only felt her stomach empty, and it kept growling.
Liang Wen cooked her some millet porridge, but she found it too bland and didn’t want to eat it. She wanted to eat the Golden arch!
Hence, she got out of bed and went to the living room to call her mother. “Mom, I want to eat the Golden Arch.”
Qu Zhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Hearing Chuchu’s voice seemed to have regained some energy, she was happy. “What’s wrong? Do I have to give you gifts when you’re sick?”
Of course, this was what Chuchu thought. After she got sick, she was the most important person.
