Chapter 654: How Fu Huai’an Had Managed by Himself
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Without waiting for Lin Nuan to call out to Fu Huai’an, Tuan Tuan’s little hand squirmed its way under her sleeve. Only when his hand came into contact with Lin Nuan’s relatively colder forearm did the kid gradually calm down, making Lin Nuan feel a sense of relief. She then heard Tuan Tuan start to cough, and her heart raised into her throat once again.
Lin Nuan’s chin was pressed to Tuan Tuan’s scalding little face. She carefully thought back to the events of last night… wondering if the child caught a cold when they were sending Liang Mulan off at the door because she didn’t button Tuan Tuan’s coat for him.
Fu Huai’an turned around to see Lin Nuan coaxing Tuan Tuan as she hugged him tightly. He reassured her, “It’s not a serious matter, it’s normal for kids to run a fever or catch a cold…”
Lin Nuan nodded, but her brows were still tightly knit together.
Little Lu looked ahead as he drove, smiling as he tried to put her heart to ease as well. “I hear my mother say it all the time, that every time a kid runs a fever, he becomes smarter.”
Lin Nuan looked down at the feverish little one in her arms, inevitably blaming herself for not having taken proper care of Tuan Tuan last night. At the same time, she worried Tuan Tuan might have contracted the hand foot mouth disease from playing with his little friends at kindergarten…
Although Lin Nuan had never contracted hand foot mouth disease herself, when she was working at the radio station, the son of Lin Nuan’s editor had contracted this. She heard the condition made kids feel rather painful.
Bai Jinyu, who was in the neurosurgery department, heard that Tuan Tuan was admitted to the hospital, so he hurriedly came down to carry Tuan Tuan personally and get his diagnosis.
After having his blood drawn for testing, Tuan Tuan’s body temperature rose to 102.5°F. Bai Jinyu arranged for the VIP ward to inject an IV for Tuan Tuan.
After settling Tuan Tuan down, Bai Jinyu, who was in a white doctor’s coat, adjusted the rate at which the IV dripped while simultaneously saying, “This is the peak season for the flu and fevers. Little children have weaker immune systems… so this is all very normal! Tang Zheng’s daughter was sent here in a daze last night too, but she’s all fine and cheery now.”
Tuan Tuan was running a temperature because he caught the flu, as well as due to tonsil inflammation. The fever wasn’t induced by hand foot mouth disease as Lin Nuan had feared.
The only reason Tuan Tuan was being given IV drips was that the child’s temperature was a little too high, and he also appeared to be drowsy.
“Little Candy caught a fever too?”
Lin Nuan, who was seated by the bed and watching Tuan Tuan, looked up.
Bai Jinyu nodded. He took out a piece of candy from inside his white coat and looked like he wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry. “Tang Zheng’s daughter painstakingly parted with this and gave it to me…”
Recalling Little Candy’s expression as she handed him the candy, Bai Jinyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
When Little Candy took out the candy and handed it to Bai Jinyu, her eyes were watery, especially emphasizing to him that this candy was a present from Tuan Tuan and Tuan Tuan’s mother. She was parting reluctantly with something that she treasured!
Bai Jinyu refused the candy and told Little Candy to keep it for herself, but Little Candy insisted, saying that her granny taught her that she must share good things!
For Little Candy to be sharing this candy so painfully, Bai Jinyu was in a difficult position as to whether he should accept or refuse…
“But I suggest the two kids keep away from each other when they’re running fevers. Little Candy will be discharged later. If Tuan Tuan wakes up, I feel you should keep from him the fact that Little Candy is in the hospital as well. When the two kids have fully recovered, they can then play together!” Bai Jinyu set the candy on the bedside table after the reminder.
Lin Nuan nodded. “Thank you!”
“Sis-in-law, you’re standing on ceremony! Old Fu, I’ll get going first then!” Bai Jinyu left after letting Fu Huai’an know.
Bai Jinyu bumped into Little Lu, who was entering the ward at the door. Little Lu carried breakfast in his hands, and he nodded at Bai Jinyu and said hello to him before entering the room.
“Sir, breakfast is here…”
Fu Huai’an took the breakfast from Little Lu’s hands and set it on the coffee table. He turned and said to Lin Nuan, “Xiao Nuan, eat a little something!”
Lin Nuan hadn’t had the chance to eat breakfast before sending Tuan Tuan to the hospital that morning.
Lin Nuan held Tuan Tuan’s little hand in hers as she sat by his bed, not feeling at all hungry. She gazed at Tuan Tuan’s little face and shook her head. “I’m not hungry yet, you eat first…”
Fu Huai’an twisted open the cap of the bottle of milk. “This is the first time you’ve seen Tuan Tuan fall sick, so you’re inevitably anxious. But still, you can’t go without food! Be good, and come over to eat a little something!”
Fu Huai’an could understand Lin Nuan’s feelings. When Tuan Tuan fell sick for the first time when he was seven months old, Fu Huai’an had felt equally anxious.
Later, after gaining some experience, he came to know what to look out for when a child runs a temperature. He also realized what kind of fever wasn’t particularly serious. Almost whenever it came to this season, Tuan Tuan would run a fever once or twice. In the past, Fu Huai’an used to be flustered, but now, Fu Huai’an could handle such situations very well.
This time, Tuan Tuan’s temperature hit 102.2°F, and it was indeed frightening. Fu Huai’an felt a little worried in his heart as well, but since Lin Nuan was already panicking, Fu Huai’an couldn’t very well show his worry in front of her, lest she grew more panicky.
Lin Nuan turned around to see the man who was opening up the delivery box. In a clean suit, his eyes gave off a mature and calm vibe.
All these years, Fu Huai’an had brought Tuan Tuan up by himself. Lin Nuan couldn’t help wondering how Fu Huai’an had managed by himself all these years!
If she were to bring up the kid by herself, she might not have been able to handle it!
Lin Nuan drank a few sips of the milk and ate two pan-fried buns. She couldn’t eat the rest.
Halfway through the IV drip, Tuan Tuan woke up. Seeing Lin Nuan by his bedside, he called out raspily in his soft and cute voice, “Mama…”
Lin Nuan smiled broadly, her forehead leaning against Tuan Tuan’s little head. “En, your fever has subsided by a lot!”
Tuan Tuan’s nostrils were filled with the smell of antiseptic. He didn’t know where this was, but so long as Mama was by his side, he was happy!
Tuan Tuan’s dry lips parted, but before he could manage a sound, he coughed hard several times.
Lin Nuan hurriedly got up and soothed Tuan Tuan by patting him on his little chest. After Tuan Tuan’s coughs eased, Fu Huai’an handed Lin Nuan a cup of warm water and asked her to give Tuan Tuan some water…
Tuan Tuan carried the cup with his little hands and took several gulps. He raised his head and took in his surroundings with his grape-like large round eyes, then gazed back at Lin Nuan.
This was the first time Mama was by his side when he’s hospitalized!
Tuan Tuan recalled that when he fell sick in the past, only Papa was with him, and even then, Papa was constantly on the phone…
Tuan Tuan’s most vivid memory of a hospital was him lying in bed and watching as his papa, who was dressed in a white shirt and black suit, stood at the windows, his back facing him as he spoke on the phone with one hand in his pocket.
He had even sneaked to other little children’s wards when his papa wasn’t paying attention. Other little kids had their mothers with them, calling their little ones “darling” as they coaxed their little ones to take their medicine.
Only his father would say, whether Tuan Tuan wanted to continue staying miserable or get well faster… he could pick himself, that he was no longer a child and should know which one to pick!
However, now, he had his mama by his side!
Tuan Tuan also wanted his mama to call him her darling, call him little sweetie, and for her to coax him to take his medicine!
At the thought of taking medicine, the little one turned his head and glanced at the bedside table. There was no sight of tablet bottles delivered by the nurses…
