"Also, didn't I ask you for the lukewarm water? This one doesn't match the temperature. Please change it." Avron said, slightly looking side to the other maid. His brows tugged into a frown while ordering them.
Li Xue stared at the little boy and asked, "Is there a problem, Avron?" Her eyes turned to look at the doctors who had kept their heads down.
Avron as well looked around similarly to Li Xue as his expression became stricter, "I am sorry Mrs. Feng. I didn't mean to be authoritative like this but I am here for Li Wei and I don't want to see her condition worsen. These doctors here don't know to do their job." He said as his young eyes went to glare at the medical team.
The doctors felt embarrassed but there was nothing they could say to retort. They have been at fault for being desperate to not realize things properly. When they felt Li Xue's gaze coming on them, one of them came out of the line to apologize, "We are sorry, Madam. When earlier, we saw the little young miss burning in temperature, we panicked. We lost our patience and suggested the medicines that were slightly not suitable for her."
"Slightly not suitable? Do you think those are the appropriate words, doctor?" From his little height, Avron asked. His lips tugged slightly at the corners as he added, "Didn't I inform you already about the content of the medicines that school provided to her? Then being an esteemed doctor, how did you suggest the medicine that would fight against the previous one given to her? Do you not fear that it will make her internally weak?"
He said and at his say like that, the doctors felt they were losing themselves. They felt that they were brought on the verge of losing the pride of achievements they have earned all these years. Their knees got weak but they tried their best to hold up until the end. Smiling a bit awkwardly, they said, "It's wouldn't have gotten so serious young boy. We were here. Though we panicked at first, it still wouldn't have taken longer to realize. And once we would have realized, we would have definitely handled it."
They spoke but their words didn't even bring a flicker of change in the boy's expression. Instead, folding his hands at the front he added with confidence. "Medical stream is all about patience. A doctor's panic could easily cost one's life. How can it be so simple?" He said and all the doctors were rendered wordless.
Li Xue didn't know how she should reply to things, so she avoided saying a word. Instead, her gaze went to look at her daughter who was sleeping all comfortably on the bed. "Please bring the medicine that is needed." She ordered before making her way to the side of the bed.
The maid nodded and soon left, giving a bow.
Reaching on the side of the little one, Li Xue reached out to caress her hair first before checking her forehead for temperature. The temperature has subsided but there still seemed some hints of it. Her expressions finally eased, seeing her princess all fine in front of her eyes.
And as if even her unconscious brain could recognize the touch, Little Li Wei's eyes opened to confirm the presence of her mother. "Mama, you are back already? WeiWei is fine. You don't have to worry. Taking the medicines, she would be fine." She said and hearing her sweet sensible words like that, Li Xue could no longer hold herself back from taking her sweetie in her arms.
"You scared me, sweetie. You know you are not allowed to do that, right?" She spoke, and weakly but surely, WeiWei hummed in response.
Wrapping her arms around the neck of her mother, she slowly patted her back, feeling the erratic beats of her mother's heart. "It's okay, Mama. WeiWei didn't want to scare you. It was just that the fever came without any information. If it had informed WeiWei before, WeiWei would have definitely rejected the idea."
She said and her coaxing words like that made almost everyone around laugh. Li Xue was no different. Her lips as well curled up in a smile as pulling her daughter a little back from herself, she said, "You shouldn't get this naughty, sweetie. Especially when you are sick like this. Mama can't do anything to you even if she wants." She said lightly pinching her cheeks.
The little girl giggled out. Though her giggle doesn't hold the strength as before, it still had the charm to flutter anyone's heart.
"Mama, sick or healthy, WeiWei is all yours. You can do anything to her. No need of holding back." She spoke before again leaning to wrap her arms around her and giving a kiss on her cheeks.
Li Xue couldn't get enough of her sweet talks. Shaking her head, she shrugged to say, "WeiWei, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?" She asked and Weiwei reached out to check her mother's forehead before checking hers.
"Mama, WeiWei has a bit of temperature, but it will be fine when brother Avron will again start changing the towel on my forehead." She said before turning to look at Avron to reconfirm, "Right, Brother Avron?"
The young boy's expression eased slightly but did not bring much change in his stance. But looking at him, still, anyone could spot it. "It won't be needed anymore. We have done that already. Now you should take your medicines and rest." He said and looking at him, Li Wei nodded all obediently.
Then turning to look back at her mother, she added, "Mama, brother Avron said medicines would do. Don't worry, I will get fine." She said and Li Xue alternated her gaze between two little kids.
When the little girl saw the doubt in the expression of her mother, she spoke again, "Mama, Brother Avron is the senior brother I told you about. He is very good at studies and also my partner in dance in the coming dance performance in the school cultural fest." She said and Li Xue nodded to her before turning back to look at the boy. His pretty face and confident stance were the attributes to keep one's gaze all focused on him.
Right at that moment, the maid who left earlier came back with a tray of medicines and a glass of water.. She was about to proceed to keep the tray on the table but just when she was about to take a step ahead near Li Wei, Avron step forward to say, "Let me do it, please."
"Also, didn't I ask you for the lukewarm water? This one doesn't match the temperature. Please change it." Avron said, slightly looking side to the other maid. His brows tugged into a frown while ordering them.
