Seeing that Little Yi’an was asleep, Lin Gantang went downstairs to talk to her dad. After watching television for a while, she heard Little Yi’an crying, followed by Auntie Ke’s coaxing.
After coaxing, Lin Gantang hadn’t even finished watching an episode of television when Yi’an cried again. Mr. Lin coughed as he looked upstairs. Lin Gantang poured him a glass of warm water. “Have you taken your medicine?” “It’s not time yet.”
“Drink some water first. I’m going upstairs to see Xiao An,” Lin Gantang said after seeing him finish his drink.
However, when she reached the second floor, she saw Little Yi’an pooping again.
Auntie Ke was busy changing him into a dry pair of diapers. When she saw Lin Gantang, she said, “Miss Lin, Xiao Bao might have diarrhea.”
“How many times did he poop today?” Lin Gantang asked in detail.
“Two or three times.” Aunt Ke forced a smile.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Lin Gantang examined her for a moment.
Aunt Ke had no answer and picked Little Yi’an up. “I’ll take him to the hospital for a check.”
Lin Gantang was worried and followed them to the hospital. The pediatrist checked and said that Little Yi’an’s stomach was a little weak, which was why he had diarrhea.
“Did the child have anything else besides milk? Did he use any medicine recently, hurting the spleen and stomach?” the doctor asked.
Auntie Ke did not dare to look at Lin Gantang.
She was the company’s top nanny, and the rest of the Lin family trusted her to take care of the child. They never asked much when they saw that she was efficient in her work. However, Lin Gantang was different. Every time she came home, she would observe her carefully. After a while, Auntie Ke’s scalp tensed up when she saw her.
“Only milk. Nothing else.” Aunt Ke’s eyes flashed.
“Really, only milk?” Lin Gantang stared at her.
Aunt Ke sensed that she was suspecting her. She promptly said, “It’s definitely only milk. Such a small child can’t eat anything else besides milk.”
She didn’t even dare to look at her. She must be feeling guilty, Lin Gantang’s face darkened. “Auntie Ke, the Lin family pays you well, right?”
Aunt Ke was so nervous that her heart was beating faster. “Miss…Miss Lin.”
“Think about it carefully. If the cause of the illness is unknown, how can the doctor prescribe the right medicine? The first baby in my family is very precious. Aren’t you afraid that the Lin family will find trouble with you?”
“No, Miss Lin,” she said in a heavy tone, frightened. “I didn’t feed the child anything. I just… I just got lazy recently and prepared the milk in cold water for him. There’s really nothing else.”
It wasn’t that cold water couldn’t be used to prepare milk. It didn’t matter for adults as their body was strong. It was just that Yi’an was too young and babies’ stomachs were weak. Otherwise, why would the instructions have reminders to prepare the milk with warm water?
After taking the medicine, Lin Gantang carried the child and said coldly to Auntie Ke, “Go back to the Lin residence and take your things away. You’re fired.”
“Miss Lin, please give me another chance. I was the one who took care of Xiao Bao since he was born. It’s not good for him to suddenly have a change in nannies. Besides, I’ve only used some cold water these past two days. I definitely won’t do it again in the future.” Auntie Ke was anxious.
“You’re slacking off today and using cold water,” Lin Gantang said coldly. “On another day, will you be too lazy to even feed him? Later, the baby would be able to crawl and walk, and you would be even lazier to watch over him, right? You only told me about his diarrhea when I noticed it. Why? Are you waiting for him to heal himself?”
Mr. Lin was waiting at home. When he saw Lin Gantang carrying the child back, he quickly asked how Little Yi’an was doing.
Jiang Tongtong had already returned. She took the child.
Lin Gantang directly told them about Auntie Ke. Mr. Lin was angry and blamed himself. “I saw that she was serious and meticulous in the first two months, so I handed it to her. I didn’t expect her to get more and more careless. It’s also my fault. I’m at home and didn’t even notice it.”
Jiang Tongtong hugged the child, heart aching, and bit her lip. “Dad, I’ll take care of him. Work can wait.”
Mr. Lin frowned. “I’ll hire someone else. If one can’t work, I’ll find two to supervise each other. Not everyone is like Auntie Ke. Work is a choice you made after careful consideration. Don’t mistreat yourself and do what you want to do.”
