Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 8 Drowning Child
The beautiful woman said gently: "Old lady, you're welcome. It's late at night. You should go back and have a good rest. I'll take care of you here. Just don't worry."

The old lady nodded in agreement: "With you here, I feel relieved."

After looking at the child on the bed, he left the inner room and came to the outer room. Everyone who had been sitting stood up and asked questions. After receiving an innocuous answer, they dispersed.

The beautiful woman who took care of the child all night saw that the child's fever had subsided at dawn, and then she leaned on the end of the bed and fell asleep.

After sleeping for most of an hour, at dawn, the woman woke up and saw the child staring at her without blinking. The woman laughed:
"Why don't you talk when you wake up?"

Seeing that the child was still staring at her with big eyes, she walked up to sit on the bedside and touched the child's forehead.He reached into his collar and touched his neck, then looked at the child and asked:

"The fever is completely gone, but are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

The child still stared at her without answering. The woman gently pinched the child's nose and smiled:
"Why are you staring at me? Don't you recognize me?"

She stood up and wanted to give the child a glass of water. As soon as she stood up, the child reached out and grabbed her sleeve tightly.

The woman sat down again, looked at the child and coaxed, "I won't leave. I'll get you a glass of water."

But the child still stared at her and refused to let go. The woman's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that her brain was burned out?

Thinking of this, the woman's face became anxious, she gently held the child's cheek with her hands and asked:
"Are you scared? Do you remember who I am?"

The woman's hand touched the child's cheek. The child, with a look of horror on his face, touched the back of the woman's hand with his hand, quickly retracted it, and started staring at the woman's face again.

This move frightened the woman even more. She gently shook the child's shoulders and asked:

"Yan'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. Does Yan'er know who I am?"

The child still only stared at the woman. The woman anxiously pulled out the child's hand to check for a pulse. She checked the pulse three times with her brows furrowed and muttered:

"It's obviously fine." After confirming that he was fine, he thought that the child must have been frightened and was confused for a moment.Seeing that the child's lips were a little dry, the woman shouted loudly:

"Yutong, Yulan pour a cup of hot water in."

Figures moved behind the screen, and two teenage maids came in, one carrying tea and the other carrying hot water and a towel.

The girl with a round face came forward with hot water, looked at the child and said with a smile:
"Miss, are you awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you hungry?"

The child stared at the woman with his big eyes, and then at the maid. His face was full of surprise but he remained silent.

The woman helped the child sit up and asked the maid to place two soft cushions behind the child to make it more comfortable. She took the hot water from the maid and fed the child to drink. She also twisted a towel in the basin and gave it to the child. Wiped face and hands.

During this period, the children were still watching with interest, and the woman asked the maid to go down and boil some medicine and some porridge.

After the maid responded and went out, the woman asked softly:

"Yan'er was frightened? She's fine now, don't be afraid."

While he was talking, a middle-aged man's voice sounded outside:

"Sister-in-law, Yan'er is awake?"

The sound was like lightning striking the child, and she was so shocked that she didn't dare to move.

The woman replied: "I have woken up and the fever has gone away. I am just frightened, but I am still confused now."

The man's voice sounded again: "It'll be good when you wake up. Thank you sister-in-law. Yan'er, daddy goes to the academy and will come home to see you later."
