Chapter 915: Chapter 915: Agreed on Three Days
When he ascertained that the little girl he had brought back by coincidence was the person Li Beijue had been looking for, he immediately contacted her, precisely because he did not want to see her in a state of anxious distress.
But she had never believed him from beginning to end.
Despite feeling immensely bitter in his heart, the corner of his mouth still twitched upward. Without the slightest hesitation, he said, “Of course you can.”
“However, Nuonuo’s current physical condition is not particularly stable. I have studied blood diseases, so if you trust me, let her stay with me for three days. I will try my best to get her illness under control.” He paused, then looked into Chi Enen’s eyes as he continued, “Of course, if you don’t feel assured, just pretend I never said anything. You can take Nuonuo with you right now if you wish. It’s up to you.”
He agreed too quickly, too sincerely, and as Chi Enen was startled, she realised that she had hurt the man before her, “I…”
“No need for explanations, I understand your concerns. If it were Xiaoruo out there, I would be just as worried as you,” Xi Zelie said with a helpless smile, “But I’m speaking truthfully. If you trust me, it’s best to let her stay with me for three days, and I will do my all to control her illness. If she keeps on having recurrent fevers , even if it’s not leukemia, it would cause serious harm to her body.”
“I’m confident that I can control her high fever within three days. At least, she won’t continue to have these recurring fevers.”
Chi Enen knew what recurrent fevers meant for a child, especially for a one-year-old child. She furrowed her eyebrows, calming down, “Can it really be controlled in three days?”
He had already found a method, but had not tried it yet.
Chi Enen clenched her teeth and made up her mind, “All right, I will come to pick up Nuonuo in three days.”
She believed the man in front of her hadn’t lied to her, a person’s eyes cannot lie.
However, when she thought about her previous suspicions, along with his unexpected sincerity and assistance, Chi Enen felt guilty. She was not one to be melodramatic; if she did wrong, she would apologize. She looked into the man’s eyes again, sincerely saying, “I am sorry, I just now…”
Xi Zelie interrupted her, “I understand, as I’ve said before, if Xiaoruo were in the same situation, my reaction would be no different than yours.”
With that said, Chi Enen felt even guiltier.
At this moment, Nuonuo’s IV had finished, and the nurse carried her downstairs.
In her arms, she still held the Little Bear Xi Zelie gave her, flailing it about while cooing in a baby voice, “Cat~”
“Nuonuo.” Chi Enen stood up, took her from the Nurse, and held her in her arms.
She touched her forehead, finding the temperature normal, but her hair was damp with sweat on her forehead, which showed that she had had a fever earlier.
Nuonuo, being both brave and lively, didn’t stay long in her embrace, and stretched her arms out to Xi Zelie, murmuring, “Unc… un… cle… hold…”
Not only were her chubby arms reaching out, but her little legs were also kicking non-stop, as if she couldn’t wait to fly into Xi Zelie’s arms!
Chi Enen had seen how she acted when she liked someone, but she had never seen her like someone this much. Unable to resist her struggle, she had to put her down on the sofa.
The little girl barely touched the ground with her feet and was already wobbly as she walked, but she lunged toward Xi Zelie—
Xi Zelie caught her precisely.
The servants in the villa seemed quite accustomed to this scene, without even a hint of extra expression.
