TGLC Chapter 31.3

Then she took a disposable cup to the water dispenser to pour her mother some water.

Duan Zihui quickly snatched the water cup from her hand, filled it with hot water, mixed it with cold water from the water dispenser to make it lukewarm, and then strode over to hand the cup to her.

The man’s hand holding the edge of the disposable cup was exceptionally beautiful. Xie Qingyu looked at Zhuzhu, who had followed him, and her dry lips moved slightly before she slowly took the cup from his hand and said to Zhuzhu, “Thank you, baby.”

This water was given to Mom by Dad.

Zhuzhu asked somewhat blankly, “Mommy, who are you calling ‘baby’?”

Xie Qingyu only wanted to thank Zhuzhu; as for Duan Zihui, she automatically ignored him.

But Zhuzhu’s question made her blush.

Her face stiffened slightly. She lowered her head, took a sip of water, and instead of answering, asked her a question. After moistening her lips, she said, “So you’re not Mommy’s baby, huh?”

When Zhuzhu heard her mother say no, she immediately became unhappy and shook her head vigorously in rebuttal: “No, no, no, Mom, I will always be your little baby.”

“Hehe.”

Zhuzhu felt a little elated.

Xie Qingyu felt uncomfortable all over, forcing a smile at Zhuzhu, not even glancing at Duan Zihui.

Little Zhuzhu, being kind, told her mother, “Mommy, Daddy brought you here today. Daddy is so strong! You couldn’t wake up, so Daddy just picked you up and brought you here.”

Xie Qingyu deliberately ignored him.

She didn’t know what she was angry about, but the fact that she still had the energy to be angry with him meant that she was alright, which was better than being sickly and unable to wake up.

Duan Zihui, hands in his pockets, relayed the doctor’s words to Xie Qingyu: “After you go home today, you’ll need to come back tomorrow and the day after for IV drips and medicine…”

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Qingyu already looked terrible.

She had always hated taking medicine since she was a child.

She had rarely been sick.

In the past few years, while taking care of Zhuzhu, she had only had one instance of a low-grade fever; otherwise, she was perfectly healthy. But Aunt He was there at that time.

How could this be…?

Duan Zihui could tell what Xie Qingyu was thinking as soon as he saw her pale face.

Xie Qingyu hated taking medicine the most; the mere mention of it made her throw a tantrum like a child.

Duan Zihui knew this, but he just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Little Zhuzhu was different; her little mouth was like a megaphone. She immediately started nagging about her mother.

“Mom, let me tell you, your illness this time is really serious. You’re not allowed to hide your medicine from me and Aunt He anymore. You have to take your medicine properly, so you can get better. Also, you drank so much alcohol before. Since we’re already at the hospital, you should get a checkup, too.”

Besides taking medicine, she also needs a checkup?

Before Zhuzhu could finish speaking, she saw Xie Qingyu, who was sitting on the bed, turn ashen-faced.

The little girl immediately put her hands on her hips and said, “Mom, don’t try to hide. I’ll make sure you take your medicine. If you don’t take your medicine, you won’t get better. You have no idea how scared I was this morning. I almost thought I was going to lose my mom.” 

As she spoke, she patted her chest twice, looking terrified.

Xie Qingyu could imagine how panicked and scared her child must have been when facing her illness alone.

Her nose suddenly felt a little sore, and she couldn’t help but apologize to her little baby: “I’m sorry, baby.”

Zhuzhu waved her hand generously: “Mommy, don’t apologize. Just finish your food, listen to me, and then we’ll have your checkup. Be a good girl, okay?”

Xie Qingyu: …Thank you, I think I’m cured now.
