Chapter 29: Baobao Had a Fever
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Chu Yichen finished his meal, Li An’an washed the dishes in the kitchen. She liked cleaning the kitchen very much. This was a habit she developed under the Li family’s oppression after they adopted her from the orphanage.
Even though she was exploited, she had enjoyed her life there. After all, she had gained a family, so she grew to enjoy doing things that many girls hated.
Although the truth became cruel later, she did not whine about the past! At least she had learned to do housework so she could take care of the children.
However, she was full of anger right now. If she had known that Chu Yichen was the owner of this place, she would never have come anywhere near here.
Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
“What? Baobao has a fever?”
Li An’an couldn’t sit still.
She was extremely regretful. She shouldn’t have bought ice cream for the children yesterday. Moreover, Baobao had eaten two in one go.
She couldn’t care less about applying for leave and rushed out. Just now, Butler Chu had asked her to send water up, but nothing was more important than her child.
Li An’an rushed to the kindergarten.
The teacher had Li Baobao in her arms. The girl’s face was burning in pain, and her eyes were narrowed and listless.
“Mommy, I’m fine. I’ve already drunk warm water. I won’t have a fever after drinking warm water.” Li Baobao comforted her mommy instead.
Li Jùnjùn’s eyes reddened, and he blamed himself. “I’m sorry, Mommy. I shouldn’t have secretly given my ice cream to her and caused her to get a fever.”
Li An’an stroked his hair. “It’s not your fault. You dote on your sister. This is Mommy’s responsibility!” She took the child from the teacher’s arms.
“Ma’am, we just took her temperature. It’s 38 degrees Celsius. We’ve already given her fever medicine. Her fever is going down now, but you should take her to the hospital just in case.”
“All right, thank you, Teacher.”
Li An’an gave Jùnjùn a few reminders and prepared to bring Baobao to the hospital.
The principal held Junjun’s hand and walked over. Junjun was wearing a black suit today and he looked stunning. He stood obediently beside the principal, but looked at his sister with worry.
“Ma’am, hurry and take Baobao to the hospital. I’ll take care of things for Junjun.”
Li An’an looked at her son apologetically. She should be here to encourage her son on a day like today.
“Mom, take Sister to the hospital. I’ll be good. Come pick us up tonight.”
Junjun stroked her sister’s head with a worried expression.
Li An’an looked at her daughter and felt terrible. She carried the child and left the kindergarten.
She believed that Junjun would not have stage fright and would complete the filming successfully. Even if she was not by his side, her heart was still with him.
At the Hospital
The doctor took Li Baobao’s temperature, prescribed her medicine, and gave her a fever-reducing patch. He then asked Li An’an to take the child back home to rest.
Li An’an rushed back and made her daughter drink more water.
It took more than an hour for the child’s fever to subside. Her anxious heart also relaxed. Ever since they were young, her children had come down with fevers many times. She was still flustered, but seeing that Baobao was fine, she felt that no matter how tired she was, it was worth it.
At the Villa
Chu Yichen sat in the study and looked at the clock for the umpteenth time.
Butler Chu started to make phone calls. Li An’an had left her post without permission.
If she didn’t return, he would go and nab her. One couldn’t simply ignore the rules when working for the Chu family.
“Li An’an, I’ll give you 20 minutes. Come back right away.”
The butler’s voice was cold and hard. He had already told the bodyguards to get ready. If she didn’t come, he would go and detain her.
Li An’an sounded furious.
“No way. One of my family members isn’t feeling well. I’m taking care of her now. I don’t have time.”
“In that case, the bodyguards will come pick you up.”
“Ahh! I’m telling you, don’t do anything crazy!”
Li An’an was having a headache. Didn’t Chu Yichen have hands? Couldn’t he just get his own water?
Her voice softened. “Butler Chu, I really can’t come. I heard that my family was sick just now, so I left in a hurry. I was wrong. It won’t happen again, okay? But I really can’t come back today.”
“You can explain it to the young master yourself!”
