Chapter 1031: Gotten Sick by Blowing Cold Wind on Himself

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

He wasn’t sick, so Grandma got angry.

If he was really sick, would Grandma not be angry at Grandpa and him then?

After Xiaoqi made up his mind, he started pouring cold water on his body. When his small body was drenched, he ran to the balcony to catch the cold wind. He had seen it on television before. As long as he did this, he would fall sick. If he got sick, his grandma and grandpa would reconcile.

Nangong Lengyu felt that a person like Huo Ci was simply unreasonable. After the argument, she wanted to leave immediately, but she was also worried about Baby Xiaoqi. It was very late in the night too, and she couldn’t bear to let the child fuss around. He had to go to the kindergarten tomorrow.

When she returned to the bedroom, she saw that the child had already obediently climbed into bed on his own and gone to sleep with a blanket over himself. She bent down to tuck the sides of the blanket in, but the little guy didn’t show any reaction and his breathing was very smooth. He had already fallen asleep.

Huo Ci sat in the living room and waited for a long time. When he didn’t see her come out of Xiaoqi’s bedroom, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that she wouldn’t be leaving at night anymore.

Nangong Lengyu slept with Xiaoqi. She hadn’t seen him for more than 10 days already. She had missed the child. When she hugged the child’s soft and small body, which emitted a milky fragrance, her heart seemed to melt into a ball too. It was a warm and blissful feeling.

In the middle of the night, Nangong Lengyu suddenly realized that something was wrong while sleeping. Blearily, she touched the little fella’s body and shot upright in fright from his scalding hot temperature. When she switched on the lights, she saw that the little fella’s face was scarily red and his breathing was rapid. He was frowning deeply.

He had a fever.

A high fever.

Nangong Lengyu got out of bed. Before she could even change out of her pajamas, she carried Xiaoqi out of the room. She wanted to take Xiaoqi to the hospital on her own. She gritted her teeth and steeled her heart. In the end, she still turned around and knocked on the door. “Huo Ci, Xiaoqi has a fever.”

Huo Ci had just fallen asleep not long ago. When he heard the sound, he swiftly got up. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the woman wearing only her pajamas. The rascal’s whole body was shivering as he sprawled on her shoulder. His voice grew tense as he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“He has a fever. Let’s go to the hospital now.” Nangong Lengyu was so nervous that her voice changed a little. After saying that, she turned to leave with Xiaoqi in her arms. They couldn’t waste time with the child’s sickness. They had to go to the hospital quickly.

Huo Ci turned around and grabbed a coat. After he’d caught up with her, he took Xiaoqi out of her arms. He glanced at the brat in his arms and his brows furrowed slightly. A slightly strange feeling welled up in his heart. The rascal had always been very healthy. Why would he suddenly come down with such a high fever?

The rascal had already been staying at his house for nearly a year. Before he fell sick, there would be signs. His appetite would decrease and he would be less energetic. Sometimes, he also had low fevers. There had never been such a situation where he suddenly came down with a high fever without any warning before.

At this moment, Nangong Lengyu couldn’t care less about anything else. While she was tense and at a loss, having someone by her side made her feel much more at ease. Even if this person was a good-for-nothing, he was still Xiaoqi’s grandpa.

Huo Ci drove while Nangong Lengyu carried Xiaoqi and sat in the backseat.

Halfway through, the child woke up and whispered in a daze, “Grandma, I’m sorry. It’s all Xiaoqi’s fault. Don’t quarrel with Grandpa, okay?”

Nangong Lengyu felt her nose sting when she heard that before tears streamed down her face. Her chest felt so suffocated that it hurt as she patted the child’s back. “Grandma isn’t angry. I’m not angry at Xiaoqi. Grandma knows that Xiaoqi is a good boy.”

She hadn’t expected the child to still be thinking about this matter even though he was already sick. He knew that the two of them had quarreled. Had he heard or seen it? However, when she had returned to the room, the child had already fallen asleep obediently!

Upon hearing Xiaoqi’s words, Huo Ci’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. That punk must have eavesdropped again!

After Xiaoqi said that, he groggily mumbled something else that no one could understand. His small hand hooked around Nangong Lengyu’s neck, and his small body trembled slightly due to the discomfort from his fever.

Nangong Lengyu hugged the child distressedly and urged him. “Drive faster!”

Huo Ci said, “How about I pass the car to you and you drive?”

Nangong Lengyu choked again. She took a look at the child in her embrace. Forget it, forget it. Why should she stoop to the level of a scumbag?

The duo had left in a hurry because they were flustered that Xiaoqi had suddenly gotten a fever. By the time they got out of the car, they realized that they had come out in their pajamas.

Huo Ci was still fine as he had taken a coat.

But Nangong Lengyu was only wearing a set of pajamas.

Huo Ci got out of the car, took the child from the woman, and directly threw his coat to her. Without saying anything, he turned around and left.

Nangong Lengyu frowned because she saw that he was also wearing pajamas. He was wearing a matching parent-child outfit with Xiaoqi. There were pictures of bears on the top. It had been bought by Sheng Sheng. Hers had little rabbits, which was a set with her daughter. In the end, she still put on his coat and got out of the car to chase after him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Huo Ci swept a look at the woman chasing after him. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders a little messily. Her face looked a little tired, and she was wearing pajamas and slippers.

If the paparazzi took a photo now, probably no one would believe that the woman in front of them, who looked completely unpresentable, was the great Movie Queen Nangong.

He didn’t know if he had gone crazy, but when he saw her looking like this, he actually felt a strange sense of pleasure and accomplishment.

The attending physicians in the pediatric hospital had all been called over at the last minute. After giving Xiaoqi a thorough checkup, they looked at the couple in front of them respectfully. “Mr. Huo, Ms. Nangong, the child is fine. He just has a high fever. It’ll go down quickly after he takes medicine. Don’t worry.”

“He was still fine at dinnertime. Why did he suddenly come down with a high fever?” Nangong Lengyu held the baby’s hand and turned to ask the doctor.

“It’s a high fever caused by wind chill.” After the attending doctor finished speaking, he also asked, “Did he get blown on by cold winds and catch a cold after taking a shower? This is a symptom of cold air entering his body.”

“No, we were at home the whole time. After he took a shower, he wiped himself dry and put on his pajamas before coming out. The heating at home is also very strong.” After Nangong Lengyu said that, her expression suddenly changed. As though she had thought of something, her expression also became terribly complicated.

When she had entered the room, she realized that the balcony window was open. She had even thought that it had been opened when Huo Ci was ventilating the room. Caught a cold? Could the child have opened the window himself?

Upon seeing her strange expression, Huo Ci took another look at the child on the bed. He had also thought of it by now. The rascal had always been smart. The doctor had said that cold air had entered his body. Could he have gotten himself sick by having cold wind blow on himself?

After he had quarreled with her, when he had gone to the washroom, he discovered that the floor was wet. Drops of water had even dripped into the living room. At the time, he hadn’t figured out what had happened. Now, he did. The rascal must have done it.

There were surveillance cameras at home, but only in the living room and Xiaoqi’s bedroom.

Huo Ci quickly found the surveillance footage..
