“The King summoned me to patrol the mountains…”
A bold ringtone suddenly rang out and sprinted throughout the small space.
Shui Anluo had initially given up on struggling but she returned to her senses when she heard that sound. She struggled forcefully once again. “Let me go, Chu Ningyi, let me go!” screamed Shui Anluo.
Chu Ningyi’s lost sense of rationality was brought back by what he believed to be a brain-dead ringtone. However, his eyes were still bloodshot as he straightened up and stared and the woman under him. There was an obvious bite mark on her face, a clear red wound. Her neck, her bare stomach, and other parts of her exposed skin were all covered with shocking bite marks.
Heartache slowly spread throughout his heart, chasing his anger away.
Shui Anluo gasped violently and her heaving chest was covered in wounds. The pain was almost numbing.
” The King summoned me to patrol the mountains to catch a monk for dinner… 1 ”
The ringtone, which had paused for a second, began to ring again. Shui Anluo stared at the man who slowly got off her body and hastily sat up, straightening her clothes. She then picked her phone up from the ground with a trembling hand.
“Hello…”
Shui Anluo’s voice was hoarse and trembling. It was clear that she was terrified.
Once the person on the other end finished speaking, Shui Anluo abruptly turned to look at Chu Ningyi. Her large eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. “The baby, the baby’s sick. Maid Yu says that she’s taking him to the hospital right now.”
In the past, whenever the little darling had fallen sick, Long Manyin would take care of him so Shui Anluo had that reassurance back then. There was nothing for her to be afraid of but, this time, her mother was not around. Chu Ningyi was the only one she could rely on.
Chu Ningyi paused in the middle of tidying his clothes. He immediately wound the divider down and instructed the driver, “Get to the hospital.”
“What should I do, what should I do?” Shui Anluo muttered. She could not sit still.
Chu Ningyi reached out and squeezed her hand. Shui Anluo trembled violently as if his action frightened her.
“It’s alright.” Chu Ningyi’s voice was just as hoarse. He had only been away for two hours. When he had left, the little darling was still asleep. How had he caught a fever?
The car arrived at the hospital very quickly. They had arrived at the same time as Maid Yu. As soon as Shui Anluo got out of the car, she immediately saw Maid Yu who was alighting from the taxi with the baby.
Shui Anluo quickly ran to take the bawling little darling. She tapped her forehead against his feverish little head and her heart twisted in extreme agony.
Maid Yu was shocked when she saw Shui Anluo. The marks on Shui Anluo’s face were very obvious and her neck and collarbone were covered in marks as well, peeking out from her round-collared shirt. This caused the old woman to blush.
Chu Ningyi naturally noticed that Maid Yu had shifted her gaze on purpose. He saw the hickeys and bite marks on Shui Anluo’s body and took his jacket off before promptly draping it over Shui Anluo’s shoulders. He then wrapped his hand around her and led her into the hospital.
Shui Anluo was shocked. She looked at the places that he had covered up and her expression changed a little.
The little darling was sent to the pediatric ward. The doctor checked the baby’s temperature and it was already at thirty-nine degrees. Shui Anluo held the little baby and kissed him but his little head was scalding hot. His little bun-face was also a bright red.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, this is all Mommy’s fault.” The little darling could not possibly have caught such a bad fever in one day. There must have been some warning signs but she had failed to notice them.
