Ji Niandong turned around blankly, then opened the door and walked out, her desolate figure seemingly trembling.
"Tongtong?" Ji Guoqiang called out.
"I’m going back first!" Ji Niandong’s voice floated lightly.
"Aren’t you staying for dinner?" Ji Guoqiang asked, while He Meijuan also ran out, "Tongtong not staying for dinner?"
Ji Niandong turned and pulled out a faint smile, "They are still waiting for me at home, I’ll go back first, next time, next time we’ll eat!" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on N0velFire.ɴet
She walked a few steps, reached for the doorknob ready to open the door, when suddenly she collapsed!
When Ji Niandong woke up, Lu Beichen was sitting by the hospital bed, the lights in the ward bright and piercing, making it difficult for her to open her eyes!
"Little Uncle?" She called out, feeling her throat painfully dry.
Lu Beichen reached out and touched her forehead, then touched his own forehead, "No longer hot, looks like the fever has gone down!"
"Little Uncle, I’m thirsty!" She faintly called out.
Lu Beichen got up and poured her a cup of plain water, then supported her neck and helped her sit up, feeding her to drink.
She was truly thirsty, quickly finishing the water, and after pressing her lips together asked, "How did I end up in the hospital?"
Lu Beichen sighed, "It seems you soaked in the bathtub too long last night, caught a cold, not even aware your body was unwell? Insisted on holding on until you fainted?"
Though his words were blaming, his brows were full of worry, "Do you know? When Li Yi called me, I was scared to death!"
He leaned down and hugged her in his arms, Ji Niandong suddenly felt inexplicably secure.
"Sister Tongtong, you’re awake?" Shen Congling suddenly rushed in, "I heard people talking, thought I was mistaken! Sister Tongtong, you scared me to death, the fever reached 39 degrees, how can you not feel anything? Today... oh no, it’s already past midnight, yesterday you were busy all day!"
"Lucky this girl called Li Yi, otherwise, you fainted and wouldn’t know!" Lu Beichen tenderly laid her back down on the hospital bed.
Ji Niandong then recalled being carried into the car by Lazy Cat, brought to the hospital, and afterwards slept deeply.
"Yesterday afternoon I was a bit dizzy, I thought I was just tired from being busy all day!" She turned over to face Lu Beichen, grabbing his hand and resting her face on it, "Where’s Nian Nian?"
Still concerned about that little guy, Lu Beichen replied, "He was clamoring to see you, but I felt it was too late, so I let Sister Zhou take him back to the Lu Mansion! Dad and Aunt He, I sent them home too!"
"Hmm!" She looked up and asked, "Little Uncle, did you stay here the whole time?"
"And me, and me!" Shen Congling pointed to herself, desperately seeking her trust.
Lu Beichen then said, "This girl insisted on waiting for you to wake up, said she was worried, but now that you’re awake, Li Yi, take her home!"
"Sister Tongtong?" Shen Congling called out sadly.
Ji Niandong then said, "Lingling, you go back to rest; I’m not blaming you! Really!"
Hearing her say that, Shen Congling breathed a sigh of relief, then happily said, "Then... then I’ll go back to rest first, brother-in-law handsome, take good care of my Sister Tongtong!"
She patted Li Yi’s arm, "Hurry up and go!"
"Boss, Madam, I’ll leave now!" He politely finished his greetings, then followed Shen Congling out.
The ward only had the two of them left, Ji Niandong shifted aside, "Little Uncle also hasn’t slept all night, let’s squeeze together!"
