Chapter 616: Chapter 616: The Child Has a Fever
That’s right! She did it on purpose, deliberately saying so much and deliberately avoiding the affection between her and Ye Lei as husband and wife.
She lay carefully beside him, knowing that this couldn’t go on! But thinking about that matter, she had an instinctive worry and fear, and the pain of giving birth seed to follow her like a shadow.
Wait a bit longer! Wait until she’s ready…
Looking back, she seed to have not spoken for very long, right? Two hours? Or one hour? He was so sleepy that he fell asleep!
Looking at his weary face and eyebrows, even in his sleep, his eyebrows were still furrowed. He must have had a lot of troubles recently, right?
She remained silent for a while, sighed, and then blew out the lamp before finally lying down next to Di Yelei.
In the middle of the night, she was awakened by a frantic knocking at the door.
“Madam, Madam, are you awake? Madam, it’s terrible, Third Young Master has a fever.” Outside the door, Ms. Gao’s panicked voice ca.
Third Young Master has a fever?
No matter how many sleep bugs were lingering around, they were all driven away at this mont!
Liu Sisi quickly got up and dressed, and Di Yelei’s movents were even faster. He got up and put on his shoes directly, and without having ti to put on his clothes, he picked them up and ran out.
“What’s going on? Why did he get a fever? He was fine at dinner, wasn’t he? How is the child now?”
Di Yelei was asking questions while walking quickly.
Liu Sisi hurriedly finished dressing and chased after him.
“At first, this slave didn’t notice. Earlier, I felt that Third Young Master’s forehead was a little hot, so I thought it was just a normal high body temperature in the evening and it would be better later. Then I went to rinse and wash the diapers. When I ca back after drying the diapers, I found that Third Young Master’s forehead was even hotter, so I rushed to inform the Old Master and Madam.”
Ms. Gao jogged, her face showing unspeakable anxiety.
Liu Sisi followed, quickly comforting her: “Don’t worry, when a child has a fever, we must call the doctor. It’s no use being anxious.”
By the ti they finally reached the room where Third Young Master was staying, they saw another nanny holding the child and walking back and forth to soothe him. The little guy seed uncomfortable and was crying constantly.
“How is he? Let see.”
Di Yelei took the child quickly, and Liu Sisi also hurriedly ca forward to see that the second-born of the triplets was crying sadly. His entire face was red.
She touched him, and then pressed her forehead against his, to find that the child indeed had a fever.
“He really has a fever. Hurry up and call the doctor.”
“Yes, Your Honor.”
Imdiately, the entire official residence was brightly lit, and the sound of running footsteps alard many people, even waking up Elderly Mr. Di.
Liu Sisi said solemnly: “Waiting for the doctor is too slow. Ms. Gao, prepare hot water imdiately. Rember to prepare more, as well as clean cotton cloth. I need to use it to cool the child down.”
It was July, and children getting fevers were mostly due to heatstroke. Cooling them down was the best solution. Liu Sisi made a judgnt based on her past experiences.
Before the hot water arrived, the doctor ca quickly. For such a small child, feeding the dark dicine was a big problem.
“The child is too young. The main thing is to cool him down and prevent his body temperature from continuing to rise. As for the dicine I prescribed, try to feed as much as possible, but the main thing is for the adults to take good care of him.”
It was troubleso for a child who had just passed their first month to get sick, and the chances of dying prematurely were very high! The doctor shook his head, sighed, and left.
“Ms. Gao, has the boiled water arrived?”
Liu Sisi naturally heard the doctor’s words, but she was worried about how difficult it would be to make such a small child drink bitter dicine.
“It’s here, Madam. Here’s the hot water. What should I do?” Ms. Gao hurriedly brought over a basin of hot water.
Liu Sisi didn’t speak. She undressed the child and placed the clothes at the head of the bed before turning to wring out a hot towel.
She wrung the hot towel and shook it a few tis, feeling the ideal warmth. Then Liu Sisi started to wipe the child’s neck, armpits, and thighs. When the towel cooled down, she soaked it again in hot water and repeated the process.
Di Yelei saw the doctor off and was instructing the servants to decoct the dicine.
Liu Sisi didn’t say much either, just repeating her movents over and over.
“Nurse, feed the child so warm water, and feed them more,” Liu Sisi calmly ordered.
“Yes, Madam.”
The nanny, who had been wiping tears at the edge of the room, hurriedly stepped forward to help when she heard the order.
Elderly Mr. Di paced back and forth with his crutch, clearly anxious.
This was a set of triplets, and the children were sowhat weak from birth. This little guy, although born second, was noticeably thinner and weaker than his elder sister, and had a significantly smaller appetite than the youngest one.
How much weaker was his resistance compared to the other two children?
Liu Sisi didn’t say a word. She changed the hot water in the basin twice and fed the child plenty of warm water. By the ti the bitter dicine arrived, the child’s temperature had already dropped.
Everyone in the room smiled with relief, knowing that the child’s fever had subsided.
“Thank heavens, and thank the ancestors of the Di family for their blessings. The child’s fever is finally gone. Good, that’s great!”
Elderly Di couldn’t help but murmur his gratitude to the ancestors, not stopping for a mont.
In those tis, infant mortality was especially high, so choosing a na only after the first 100 days was a tradition.
But these were dragon-phoenix triplets! Who could bear to lose one?
Liu Sisi remained silent by the child’s side, and Di Yelei saw that it wasn’t appropriate for everyone to stay. He stood up and said to everyone,
“The child’s fever has subsided, and there’s no big issue. Everyone, go back to sleep. Father, your health is not good. Go back to sleep earlier! Di Cheng, help your grandfather carefully.”
“Alright, Third Uncle.” Di Cheng replied hastily.
“Indeed. When the child is young, they may experience minor illnesses and discomforts. But when they grow up, their body will beco stronger, so there’s no need to worry, right?” Old Mr. Di reassured everyone’s hearts.
“Father, Ye Lei knows.” Di Yelei gave a forced smile.
Once everyone left, the air in the room beca much clearer.
Di Yelei gestured to the nanny, “The child is fine now. You can go down and rest too. Otherwise, how will you take care of them during the day?”
The nanny’s heart had been tightly clenched, afraid that the Di family would fire her because of this. Upon hearing this, she was overjoyed and quickly retreated.
“The child must have caught a fever when I took them out with earlier during the day. It was really tough for them. I was paying attention at that ti, but I didn’t expect… that they would still get a fever. It’s my fault for not taking good care of them…”
Liu Sisi’s voice was particularly low.
