Old Liu was hesitant, and Mother Liu was a little anxious.
"Who was the one who said that he wanted to be good to me and take care of me? Now I'm just asking you for a small favor, and you're so overcautious." Mother Liu deliberately made a disappointed expression at Old Liu and turned to leave.
"Hey, don't go," Old Liu, who was in his forties or fifties, suddenly blushed as he watched Mother Liu leave. He was a little anxious.
"Okay, I'll go!" Old Liu gritted his teeth and threw caution to the wind.
"Don't worry, I promise that I'll send Madam to the hospital safely and bring her back safely. No one will know. I promise that I won't let Sir know." Old Liu patted his chest and promised Mother Liu like a hotheaded young man.
Mother Liu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Old Liu's promise.
"Okay, then get ready. I'll ask Madam to come over later," Mother Liu lowered her voice and said to Old Liu, "Be quiet when you open the door later."
Old Liu nodded very cooperatively. "Don't worry."
"Oh right, ask Madam to come down in ten minutes. She can't drive the family car. I'll call my son." Old Liu took out his phone as he spoke.
Ten minutes later, Shen Qianqian prepared a little. She put on a woolen coat and took a small bag. Then, she tiptoed downstairs in her flats.
Shen Qianqian gave Mother Liu a look and cooperatively followed Old Liu out of the villa.
When the villa's door was closed, even the slightest sound made Old Liu and Shen Qianqian anxious. Shen Qianqian and Old Liu jogged forward for about five minutes before they finally met Old Liu's son, who drove here.
Shen Qianqian simply thanked them and followed them to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Xiao Kong's master, Master Wu Chen, and Little Senior, Jing Yuan, were all there. They looked very anxious. Shen Qianqian looked at Xiao Kong, who was unconscious with an IV drip. Her heart ached so much that her eyes turned red.
"Master, how is Xiao Kong?" Shen Qianqian frowned worriedly. Master Wuchen and Jing Yuan exchanged glances. From their eyes, Shen Qianqian could tell that Xiao Kong's condition was not only bad, but also very serious.
Great Master Wu Chen hesitated for a moment and said with a trace of guilt, "Madam, I'm sorry. I came in a hurry and didn't bring much money. It's not enough to pay the hospitalization fee."
When Shen Qianqian heard this, she told Lao Liu to stay here and guard the entrance. Then she ran to the toll booth alone.
"That much?" Shen Qianqian was about to hand out the card, but it stopped in mid-air. Xiao Kong's pneumonia was very serious this time, and the deposit alone was several thousand.
Shen Qianqian twitched on the spot. She couldn't touch Gu Hecheng's card, but she didn't have enough money in her card. Shen Qianqian was so embarrassed that she couldn't stop crying.
He Yijia! That's right, call Yijia.
Shen Qianqian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She didn't care what time it was and immediately called He Yijia.
"Yijia, that's great." When the call was connected, Shen Qianqian finally let out a sigh of relief. She felt that she was saved.
He Yijia, who was sleeping, was awakened by Shen Qianqian's phone call. He immediately woke up and answered the phone. "Qianqian, what's wrong? Why are you calling me so late at night?"
"Yijia, don't ask. Just transfer me 10,000 RMB first." Shen Qianqian sniffed. "I'll pay you back in the future."
He Yijia could hear the anxiety in Shen Qianqian's voice. He knew that she would never call him at this time unless she had no other choice.
"Okay, don't worry. I won't ask. I'll transfer it to you right away. Tell me your card number. " He Yijia comforted Shen Qianqian. He turned on his tablet and quickly transferred 200,000 RMB to Shen Qianqian.
"Qianqian, it's not much. If you don't have enough money, just let me know."
"Ding dong." Shen Qianqian opened her phone. When she saw the notification of the money transfer, she pursed her lips. Silent tears rolled down her cheeks again. "Yijia, thank you."
"Okay, it's okay. Go ahead. Where are you? Do you need me to come over?" He Yijia said as he got up from the bed.
Shen Qianqian shook her head. "No, it's okay. I didn't want to disturb you. Go to sleep first. I'm going."
After hanging up the phone quickly, Shen Qianqian passed the card in her hand to the staff behind the window. Shen Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the staff behind the window swipe the card skillfully.
Shen Qianqian took the receipt and did not dare to delay. She rushed back to Xiao Kong's ward without stopping.
Xiao Kong was still sleeping, but he did not seem to be sleeping well. Shen Qianqian immediately sat by his bedside. She reached out and gently touched his cheeks. She patted Xiao Kong's stomach gently and comforted him. "Mommy is here. Mommy is here. Xiao Kong, don't be afraid."
Her gentle words seemed to be magical. Xiao Kong quieted down and fell asleep steadily.
Shen Qianqian sighed. Jing Yuan came in with a glass of water. He sat down opposite Shen Qianqian and looked at Xiao Kong sympathetically. "He finally fell asleep. He kept calling for his mommy just now."
It seemed like a casual sentence, but it made Shen Qianqian's tears fall down.
She knew that Xiao Kong needed a mother, but she was not a qualified mother.
Jing Yuan looked at Shen Qianqian, who was crying, and felt sorry for her. "Xiao Kong's mommy, why don't you rest here? The driver and I will watch over you."
Shen Qianqian shook her head and thanked Jing Yuan. "Jing Yuan, you and the driver are tired. You should rest here. I will watch over you."
Unable to persuade Shen Qianqian, Jing Yuan and the driver fell asleep in the room.
In the quiet ward, Shen Qianqian felt that she could hear the sound of dejection. She looked at Xiao Kong's small face and sighed.
Shen Qianqian took out her phone and searched for pneumonia on Baidu. When she found out that pneumonia was the most fatal disease among children under five years old, she was even more scared and nervous. She stayed by Xiao Kong's bedside the whole night without closing her eyes.
At around four o 'clock in the morning, Shen Qianqian frowned. If she did not go back, she did not know what Gu Hecheng would do if he found out.
Seeing that Xiao Kong was still sleeping soundly, Shen Qianqian got up quietly and went to find the doctor on duty.
The doctor on duty came to Xiao Kong's bedside and examined him carefully. He said to Shen Qianqian, "Fortunately, his condition is under control, but he still needs to stay in the hospital for observation."
The doctor on duty flipped through the case and looked at the thin and small child. He frowned slightly. "Because he is malnourished, he looks much thinner than normal children. His immune system is also weaker. When he goes back, he needs to be nourished."
"Okay." Shen Qianqian pursed her lips and sent the doctor on duty away.
After standing in front of Xiao Kong's bed for a while, Shen Qianqian finally woke up Xiao Kong's driver gently.
"Master." Shen Qianqian struggled in her heart, but she had no other choice but to ask the master to help take care of her son. "I really have to go back. Please take care of Xiao Kong."
Master Wuchen did not speak. Shen Qianqian also stood in the same place and did not move.
After a long silence, Master Wuchen finally said, "Madam, I think it's better for you to take care of Xiao Kong."
Although Master Wuchen really liked the sensible Xiao Kong, Xiao Kong fell ill again and again in the temple. Every time Master Wuchen faced Shen Qianqian, he felt guilty. Moreover, Xiao Kong really needed a mother.
"Madam, you know the environment and accommodation of the temple. Xiao Kong is still young. It's too hard." Master Wuchen tried not to sound emotional, but it was enough to make Shen Qianqian's heart ache.
"Master, I know." Shen Qianqian also wanted to take good care of Xiao Kong, but it was impossible at the moment.
Shen Qianqian had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, "But I really have no way to take Xiao Kong back now. I'll have to trouble you, Master."
Seeing Shen Qianqian's insistence, Master Wuchen did not say anything. He believed that Shen Qianqian really had no way to take care of Xiao Kong. She also had her own unspeakable difficulties.
Initially, Shen Qianqian had wanted to leave quietly. However, she hadn't expected that Xiao Kong, who had already woken up, would hear their conversation clearly. He even started crying without saying a word.
However, Xiao Kong was still a child after all. He could not hide his crying. Shen Qianqian, who had just turned around and was about to leave, suddenly stopped.
Shen Qianqian was stunned. She immediately turned around and rushed to Xiao Kong's bedside. She touched his cheek and said, "Mommy is here. Xiao Kong, don't cry."
Shen Qianqian still wanted to say something, but Xiao Kong turned his face away. He did not want to look at Shen Qianqian.
"Mommy is lying. Mommy said that she would pick Xiao Kong up and take Xiao Kong away. But Xiao Kong is sick and Mommy doesn't accompany me." Xiao Kong's crystal tears flowed down his face like a stream. "Mommy doesn't want Xiao Kong anymore, right? Even though Xiao Kong is so sensible, Mommy doesn't want him anymore, right?"
"It's not like that." Shen Qianqian could not hold back her tears anymore. She wiped Xiao Kong's tears and said, "Mommy doesn't want Xiao Kong anymore. Xiao Kong, don't think like that."
Shen Qianqian knew that the word "sensible" was like a stone pressing down on Xiao Kong's heart. It was so heavy that he almost could not breathe, but he still persisted. He did it so that she could fulfill her promise and stay by his side.
"Mommy loves Xiao Kong no matter what you are like. Mommy will never abandon Xiao Kong." Shen Qianqian planted a heavy kiss on Xiao Kong's head. "Mommy loves Xiao Kong when he's sensible. Mommy loves him when he's not too sensible."
Xiao Kong and Shen Qianqian finally hugged each other and cried bitterly as if they had been suppressing their emotions for a long time.
The crying woke Jing Yuan up. He got up in a daze. Master Wuchen sighed and pulled him out of the door.
"Master, this …" Jing Yuan, who had not yet woken up, looked at Master Wuchen in a daze. He pointed to the ward, not knowing what had happened.
"Let them be alone for a while." Master Wuchen looked back. "We'll go in to take care of Xiao Kong later."
Master Wuchen sighed and sat down on the chair next to him. He knew that Shen Qianqian would have to leave in a while.
Jing Yuan, who was still in a daze, sat down on the chair opposite Master Wuchen and woke up Old Liu, who was sleeping on the chair.
