Chi Yunqi murmured weakly, "Okay."
All the way, Song Jinhe was extremely anxious. Looking at the little one with tightly closed eyes in her arms, the look between her eyebrows grew even tenser.
"Uncle Zhao, can you drive any faster?"
"Sure, Madam."
Song Jinhe's beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted, and her gaze constantly fell on the road ahead.
Four - year - old Yunqi was a tiny bundle in her arms. His body was burning hot, and his little face was flushed. Seeing him looking so dazed from the fever, Song Jinhe's heart was filled with pity.
Such a high fever would be extremely uncomfortable for an adult, not to mention a four - year - old child.
But he didn't make a single sound all night while sleeping, even though he must have been in so much discomfort.
It was only when Song Jinhe was woken up by his body heat that she discovered it.
After arriving at the hospital, Song Jinhe immediately carried Chi Yunqi towards the emergency room.
The driver, Uncle Zhao, and Maid Li quickly followed.
Seeing that Song Jinhe was struggling a bit while carrying the young master, Maid Li said, "Madam, why don't I carry the young master?"
"I'm fine."
She wasn't so weak that she couldn't even carry a child.
It was an hour later after the diagnosis and the hospitalization procedures were completed.
Song Jinhe sat beside the hospital bed, her eyes full of worry as she looked at Chi Yunqi.
She let out a heavy sigh in her heart. She was really an unqualified mother. She didn't even know that Yunqi had been having a fever for so long.
If she hadn't suggested that Yunqi sleep with her last night, would she have remained completely unaware that he had been feverish all night?
The more she thought about it, the stronger the pity in her heart became.
There was an infusion needle in Chi Yunqi's hand, and a cooling patch on his forehead. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his fair little face was flushed from the fever.
He looked extremely uncomfortable. He was such a poor little thing.
Song Jinhe stayed in the ward watching over him all night.
She hardly closed her eyes all night. She got up now and then to give him some water and take his temperature.
It was not until around five or six in the morning that Chi Yunqi's temperature finally dropped. Only then did Song Jinhe lie on the edge of the hospital bed and fall asleep.
The sunlight shone faintly through the gaps in the curtains into the entire ward.
This was the scene that Chi Yunqi saw when he opened his eyes. Song Jinhe was lying with her eyes closed beside his bed.
She was still wearing the same pajamas as yesterday, with just a casual coat thrown on when she went out.
Her wavy curly hair cascaded down like a waterfall. The first thing Chi Yunqi saw when he opened his eyes was her delicate and perfect face.
Her facial features were soft, and her skin was fair and delicate. Even without makeup at the moment, her skin was as tender as a peeled egg.
Her features were so exquisitely perfect, and her long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly with each breath.
Chi Yunqi was momentarily stunned.
The fragmented memories from last night rushed into his mind.
He vaguely remembered that it was she who carried him to the hospital.
It was she who held him during the needle insertion.
In the middle of the night, it was also she who got up several times to give him water and take his temperature.
Chi Yunqi could feel all of this. At this moment, there was an indescribable emotion in his heart.
He seemed to have really fallen in love with this mother.
But this feeling was like a dream to him.
He hardly dared to believe it.
She was so, so good to him...
So good that Chi Yunqi felt that all of this was just a dream.
Just as he was in a daze, Song Jinhe woke up.
She immediately opened her eyes to check on Chi Yunqi's condition. "Baby, you're awake? How do you feel now? Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Song Jinhe stood up. There were obvious dark circles under her eyes, and her eyebrows were filled with exhaustion.
These were all proof that she had taken care of him all night.
She reached out to touch Yunqi's forehead. "Finally, the fever is gone."
Song Jinhe bent down slightly. The ends of her wavy hair gently brushed against his face, carrying a faint fragrance.
Chi Yunqi shook his head and replied, "I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."
Song Jinhe remained in a bent position and pinched Chi Yunqi's little cheek. "Good. Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat, baby?"
Chi Yunqi shook his head again. His big, bright eyes were round, and the skin on his little face was fair and tender. He just looked a bit thin.
If he were a bit chubbier, he would definitely be very cute.
Song Jinhe smiled and pinched his little cheek again.
"Then I'll ask Maid Li to stay here and watch over you. Mom will go home and prepare breakfast for you, okay?"
Song Jinhe could clearly feel a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"Okay."
"Good boy."
When Song Jinhe left, she gave Chi Yunqi a big kiss on his little cheek.
Even after her figure had completely disappeared from the ward, Chi Yunqi still hadn't fully recovered.
She had kissed him.
This was the second time she had kissed him.
The faint fragrance on her body still lingered in his nostrils.
The warm sensation on his cheek just now made his little head feel a bit dazed.
On the surface, he seemed unchanged, but in fact, his emotions were surging inside.
It would be great if she could be his mother for a lifetime.
After Maid Li informed Chi Yan, Chi Yan immediately dropped his work and rushed over.
"How's Yunqi?"
"Mr. Chi, the young master's condition has improved a lot. He's inside. You can go and have a look."
"Okay."
Based on Maid Li's description, Chi Yan basically knew what had happened last night.
He unbuttoned his suit jacket with one hand and draped it over the chair. His eyes were full of worry as he looked at Chi Yunqi.
"Are you still running a fever?"
Chi Yunqi quickly shook his head. "Dad, I'm not running a fever anymore."
Chi Yan had been frowning ever since he entered, or rather, ever since Maid Li started recounting what had happened last night.
There was still doubt and disbelief in his heart.
If other things could be faked, the all - night care and concern for Chi Yunqi last night couldn't be.
This simply didn't seem like something Song Jinhe would do.
Chi Yan's handsome, chiseled face was tense. In the past few years, because of Song Jinhe, he had even had few opportunities to see his son.
As soon as he returned to Moonlight Bay, they were bound to have a big argument. By now, Chi Yan didn't even have the courage to face her.
And Chi Yunqi voiced his doubts from yesterday.
"Dad, I think she really has changed."
"She cooks for me, picks me up from school, and I even slept with her last night."
"She also..."
When mentioning Song Jinhe, there was a glimmer of light in Chi Yunqi's big, round eyes.
Chi Yan frowned even more tightly. He didn't believe that Song Jinhe's sudden change was out of good intentions.
He said in a deep voice, "Don't be fooled by her appearance."
Chi Yunqi's little face immediately scrunched up. "Dad, but she's really different this time."
