Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Seeking Help 2 Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Seeking Help 2 Li Shiping indeed was so scared that she went weak all over. She let go and her emotions beca sowhat calr than before. “Mianmian, touch her, is she burning hot? I’ve been calling her for a long ti, and she hasn’t responded at all. Usually, she’s a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest noise.”
Shen Mianmian touched the child and her little face imdiately twisted in concern. “She’s really hot. How could the fever beco this bad?”
“She started having a fever yesterday, and I wanted to take her to the hospital, but Dongcheng wouldn’t let . He said it would be fine just to take so fever dicine. Indeed the fever went down at noon today, and I don’t know how only after being out for the afternoon, I returned to find her burning up like this. Mianmian, she won’t have anything seriously wrong, will she?”
Shen Mianmian pursed her lips. “Sister Shiping, don’t be afraid. We’ll take her to the hospital right now.”
As soon as she finished speaking, He Nan ca out of the house, holding a jacket. Seeing Shen Mianmian holding the child, he reached out to take her and gave Shen Mianmian his jacket. “Put it on, it’s cold outside.”
The night air was cool.
Shen Mianmian was wearing only one layer of clothing and it would be cold outside.
Li Shiping had just returned from outside and hadn’t taken off her jacket. The child had a fever and was burning up, needing to dissipate heat, and shouldn’t wear too much.
“Okay.”
Shen Mianmian took the clothes but didn’t have ti to put them on. She called out loudly to XiaoCui and the three of them hurried downstairs.
Once in the car, Shen Mianmian sat in the back with the child and Li Shiping, while He Nan drove in silence straight to the hospital.
Hospitals in the 1980s were not like those in the 21st century. At night, aside from the on-duty staff, there were almost no people.
When the duty doctor learned there was a child ergency, he hurried out, glanced at the child, and his expression imdiately darkened. “What’s wrong with you guys? Why only bring the child to the hospital after she’s burned up with fever like this?”
“Doctor, please, save my daughter,” Li Shiping begged, grabbing the doctor’s arm, sowhat agitated.
“Sister Shiping, let go of the doctor first, let him treat the child,” Shen Mianmian urged, quickly pulling Li Shiping away while the doctor and nurses took the child into the ergency room. The two of them waited anxiously outside the door.
He Nan returned from registering and paying, and upon seeing the two huddled pathetically outside the ergency room, he frowned.
Outside the ergency room, there was silence, the breathing of three people all distinctly audible.
About an hour later, the ergency room door finally opened from the inside.
Glancing at Li Shiping, the doctor’s face was full of bla, “What kind of mother are you? The child has pneumonia from the fever. Aren’t you aware that a high fever that doesn’t subside can damage the brain?”
“Pneumonia?” Li Shiping’s heart ached.
“The child is not in any imdiate danger right now, but she’ll need to be hospitalized for treatnt,” the doctor said sternly, urging, “Go and take care of the hospital admission procedures quickly!”
“I’ll do it,” He Nan said.
“He Nan, thank you,” Li Shiping said, gradually regaining her composure upon hearing the child was not in life-threatening danger.
“It’s okay,” he responded.
He Nan turned and went to the billing section.
Not long after, a nurse walked out of the ergency room holding the child. Li Shiping and Shen Mianmian quickly ca forward, took over the child, and followed the nurse to the ward.
“Keep an eye on her, and call when the bag of fluids is almost finished,” the nurse instructed.
Shortly after the young nurse left, He Nan entered the ward, and looking at the child’s red cheeks, asked, “Is Wan Dongcheng not at ho?”
Li Shiping’s expression changed slightly, and she evasively said, “His cousin is getting married tomorrow, so he went back ho.”
Dongcheng must not have had any experience looking after children and didn’t realize the severity of her condition, which is why he left. Otherwise, he surely wouldn’t have been so heartless.
