Chapter 318 Xiangyun’s Child is Sick
As soon as Mrs. Yu left, Xiangyun paced around the room like an ant on hot pan.
Whenever she thought about Madam Yu wanting to adopt a child, her heart felt like a pot of mixed feelings had been overturned, and she felt very uncomfortable.
The bitterness and grievance kept rising up, making her chest feel stuffy.
Xiangyun muttered softly: "No, the child is my life. No matter who it is, I will not let the child be separated from me!"
Thinking of this, Xiangyun seemed to have made up her mind. She walked quickly to the door and closed it tightly with force.
She turned around and looked around worriedly. After making sure there were no other little girls in the yard, she lowered her voice and said to Zijuan beside her:
"We can't stay here anymore!
They come to snatch the child again and again, giving us no peace. Let's go!
Zijuan, pack up the gold and silver jewelry and ask Xueyan to go out quietly and hire a carriage.
Remember, don't let anyone find out!
Let’s wait until the middle of the night and then set off!”
After saying these words, Xiangyun still seemed unsure. She gently took Zijuan's hand and whispered a few more words to her.
As for Zijuan, she nodded repeatedly while listening to Xiangyun's instructions:
"Miss Yun, you are right, we should really leave!
They've been using the children to bother us time and time again. Let's get as far away as possible!"
Having said that, Zijuan couldn't help but sigh.
Then she turned around and told Xueyan about Xiangyun's plan, and asked her to hire a reliable carriage as soon as possible.
After arranging Xueyan, Zijuan hurried back to the room and began to carefully help Xiangyun pack her clothes and gold and silver jewelry.
Meanwhile, the wet nurse was looking at the child in her arms with full of worry, feeling that something was wrong.
She lowered her head and looked at the little guy carefully, only to find that for some reason, the child had started to not eat properly again.
Before, the little mouth was sucking non-stop like a little bird, but now it was lazily holding the pacifier, sucking on it intermittently, as if it had no interest at all.
Not only that, the child's breathing became very weak and intermittent.
Looking at the originally pink and cute little face, it now had an abnormal blush, like a ripe apple.
The wet nurse became more and more anxious, but was afraid of making Xiangyun too worried, so she forced herself to calm down, held the child tightly in her arms, and coaxed and comforted the child in a soft voice.
She rocked the baby gently and hummed a lullaby, trying to calm the baby.
However, as time passed, the situation did not improve at all.
On the contrary, the child not only did not eat well, but cried even harder. The crying was heartbreaking and distressing.
The wet nurse was extremely anxious, and quickly reached out her hand, carefully placed it on the boy's forehead and touched it gently.
You don’t know until you touch it. When you touch it, you feel a burst of scorching heat coming towards you. It turns out that the child’s forehead is so hot!
Now, the wet nurse no longer cared about anything else. She hugged the child tightly and hurried towards Xiangyun's room.
Her heart was in her throat, and she kept muttering:
"Please don't let anything happen..."
Finally, they arrived at Xiangyun's room. Without even taking a breath, the nurse pushed the door open, rushed in with the child in her arms, and shouted:
"Auntie, hurry up, send someone to get a doctor!
My forehead is so hot it’s scary…”
Xiangyun was packing up with Zijuan at this time.
The table and bed in the inner room were piled with clothes.
The nurse came in hurriedly, panting and said:
"Oh no, Auntie, my brother is sick!"
When Xiangyun heard this, the piece of clothing in her hand instantly slipped to the ground.
She showed a look of shock, dropped the clothes in her hands without hesitation, and hurried to the nanny.
Xiangyun hugged the child tightly in her arms, and Zijuan quickly stepped forward, reaching out her hand and gently touching the child's forehead.
She couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Oh my, why is your forehead so hot?"
The situation was urgent and there was no time for overthinking. Zijuan immediately instructed Xiangyun:
"Miss Yun, please take good care of my brother. I'll go out and find a doctor to take a look!"
Before she finished her words, Zijuan had already left in a hurry.
Soon, Zijuan hurried over with a kind-faced old doctor carrying a medicine box.
The doctor walked into the room steadily, nodded slightly to everyone, then walked up to Xiangyun, bent down, and gently stroked the boy's forehead and back with his hands.
Then he stood up and said to Xiangyun in a gentle voice:
"Ma'am, please move over here and sit down for a moment.
Hold the young master tightly and don't let go. I need to carefully examine his pulse."
Xiangyun did as she was told, carefully holding the child and sitting on the edge of the bed, then exposed the boy's slender little arm and placed it on the bed.
The old doctor slowly squatted down, stretched out three fingers of his right hand with a focused expression, and placed them firmly on the boy's wrist.
For a moment, the whole room fell silent, with only the occasional clear chirping of birds coming from outside the window.
After about a cup of tea, the old doctor finally released his fingers and slowly stood up.
He stroked his gray beard, sighed, and said with a helpless look on his face:
"Alas... the child has caught a cold and has a high fever.
Giving medicine to such a young child might be bad for his spleen and stomach!
But if I don’t take medicine in time, I’m afraid this disease won’t be cured in a short time!”
Unexpectedly, before the doctor finished speaking, the nurse standing nearby suddenly stepped forward and volunteered to speak:
"Doctor, do you think this will work?
After the medicine is boiled, I will drink it and then feed it to the child through breast milk. Do you think it is feasible?"
When the doctor heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and thought thoughtfully.
After a moment, he smiled and replied:
“That’s not a bad idea.
After all, the child is too young and very fragile.
But in this case, the dosage must be controlled more precisely."
As he spoke, the doctor carefully considered the dosage and formula of the medicine, and then instructed Xiangyun:
"Madam, you still have to be more careful these days and take good care of the child. Don't let your guard down!"
Xiangyun nodded while holding the child. Zijuan followed the doctor to write a prescription and prepare medicine. After everyone left, Xiangyun couldn't help it anymore and burst into tears while holding her brother!
She just wanted to live a peaceful life with her child, but it was so difficult!
She looked at her brother's little face, couldn't help but kiss the child's forehead, and said emotionally: "Oh God, if there is any disease, let me give birth, why bother with a furry child like me!"
Before she could finish her words, Xiangyun saw the red envelope that Mrs. Yu had sewn on her son's swaddling clothes.
She immediately tore off the red envelope, chopped it several times with her feet, and said bitterly:
"Humph, who knows what's in there? My child caught a cold!"
