Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 972 - 788: Xingxing Falls Ill (Part 2)

"How serious is it?" Mei Shuping felt a bit regretful, having focused on the elderly these days and leaving the little one to a nanny. Now that such a thing happened, it’s indeed the responsibility of the adults.

"Mom, I’m so scared, I don’t even know how Hua Hua is doing." Ye Qing tearfully held onto Xie Lingzhi and pretended to be scared as she spoke.

"It’s alright, it’s alright, the child will be fine. Every household has kids with bumps and scratches, and there are plenty of kids who hit their heads. These are all minor illnesses. It’s going to be alright. It’ll be alright." Xie Lingzhi comforted her daughter-in-law, while also soothing herself.

The only thing they could do now was to quietly wait for the child to come out.

"Mommy, Daddy snores so loudly."

After Lin Wan’s family returned home and finished a simple meal, Lin Wan let Han Yi go rest.

There’s no TV at home, so the only entertainment is reading comics and storybooks.

Lin Wan and the child sat by the fireplace in the living room, Little Star sat on a cushion reading a storybook, while Lin Wan roasted peanuts on the fireplace.

"Your daddy is tired, let’s keep it down, so he can rest well."

Upon hearing this, Little Star immediately lowered his voice and said, "Mommy, why don’t we go to Third Grandpa’s house? We haven’t seen him for two days."

"Your Third Grandpa is always here and there, no one knows where he went. It snowed last night, and the snow outside hasn’t melted yet, so let’s stay at home."

"Oh..." Little Star paused and then suddenly laughed, "Third Grandpa must have gone to buy pretty clothes for Little Star."

At that moment, Lin Wan was thinking about Li Liang’s parents. They definitely couldn’t enter the compound. The Mei Family had been almost entirely at the hospital these days, making it difficult to see them.

Since they’ve found the child and haven’t made a move, could they be afraid of the Mei Family? Lin Wan couldn’t figure it out for the time being. She could only wait for Han Yi to wake up and ask for his opinion.

Little Star was bored indoors, and once Lin Wan finished roasting the peanuts, Little Star pulled Lin Wan outside to build a snowman in the yard.

Lin Wan didn’t dare let Little Star touch the snow for too long without gloves. She quickly went inside to fetch her gloves and stood by helping her daughter shovel the snow with a spade.

The winter here in the Capital City is similar to that of Z City, except the wind in the Capital is stronger, and the cold wind can be penetratingly piercing. That’s the hardest thing to bear about the weather.

Lin Wan and Little Star played in the yard for almost an hour before going back inside to warm up.

In the evening, Lin Wan used a small pot on the living room fireplace to cook ribs and vegetables for three. She bought steamed buns outside and made some porridge herself. When Han Yi woke up, the meal was just ready.

"Ai Yi, since your work here is done, do you need to return to Z City?" Lin Wan handed chopsticks and steamed buns to Han Yi.

"No need, there’s just over a week until New Year’s, and I have a holiday this year. Plus, I’m injured, so the boss granted me leave early. From now until the fifth day after the New Year, I’m on holiday."

"Wow, that’s great, Daddy, can you take Little Star to the amusement park?"

Han Yi smiled and rubbed the child’s head affectionately, "As long as Little Star isn’t afraid of the cold, Daddy will take Little Star to play, alright?"

"Yay, I want to climb the Great Wall and make sure Daddy takes a nice photo of me. I promised Brother Yangyang and Sister Hanhan I’d show it to them when I go back."

"Sure, no problem. I’ll take many pictures for Little Star."

Han Yi and Lin Wan teased Little Star, and the family had a good laugh together.

...

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Ye Qing and her family waited for over an hour, and the child finally came out with a large shaved area on his head, and the stitches were especially noticeable.

Looking like this, they couldn’t go home directly; hospitalization was needed for observation. Seeing their grandson injured like this was heart-wrenching for Mei Shuping and Xie Lingzhi.

They stayed by the child’s side the entire time. Mei Langchi wasn’t particularly concerned about Hua Hua’s injury. Seeing the child’s parents were there, he came up with an excuse to leave for Grandma’s place.

Mei Shuping and his wife were worried about their grandson and didn’t pay attention to him at all.

Ye Qing was secretly pleased, as the child kept the grandparents occupied and Mei Langchi was at Old Mrs. Mei’s, so no one would be going back tonight.

Hua Hua got injured at home under Aunt Wu’s watch, so she shared some responsibility. Worried about the child who was sent to the hospital, Aunt Wu hurriedly prepared a meal to bring over.

It was already past three in the afternoon when she arrived. Hua Hua, under anesthesia, had already woken up, and the wound on his head hurt badly. He was now crying non-stop.

Xie Lingzhi and Ye Qing were busy trying to soothe Hua Hua and couldn’t bother with eating.

They just sent Aunt Wu home.

Liang Qian, who worked in another department, slept in the patient room all afternoon, and only learned about Hua Hua’s head injury when Mei Shuping arrived around five.

The two rushed to take a look, the child had cried for two or three hours and was exhausted and had fallen asleep.

Old Mrs. Mei heard the child was injured and insisted on coming over, no longer willing to stay in bed. She had Mei Langchi help her over to see Hua Hua, taking the opportunity to avoid the displeased gaze of Old Mrs. Tao.

The large gash on the child’s head, with so many stitches, surely hurt. The anesthesia couldn’t be administered endlessly, and painkillers only offered brief relief.

Even a grown person falling ill is taxing enough, not to mention a child. Old Mrs. Mei, in good health now, was no longer making a fuss, and everyone was with the child.

They didn’t even feel like having dinner.

...

Little Star played in the snow for an hour in the afternoon and thought it was fine, but unexpectedly started running a fever after ten at night.

This made Lin Wan and Han Yi extremely anxious. They hurriedly took Little Star to the hospital.

Liang Qian had just let Mei Shuping rest on her hospital bed, having slept all day herself, and didn’t feel sleepy at night. On her way out to use the bathroom, she saw Han Yi and Lin Wan in a hurry carrying Little Star through the window.

She went down to find out that Little Star was sick.
