Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143 Baby Has a Fever Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143 Baby Has a Fever Xiaobao couldn’t understand anyway, and he didn’t care about feeding wolves or not, he just wanted to cry.


    Xu Chaomu felt helpless, she sat on the sofa for a while, then stood up, continuously holding him until her arms were sore.


    Past two o’clock, she just wanted to make a phone call and chatter, but there was no one to listen.


    During this time, since she had adopted Xiaobao, she had lost a lot of weight, unable to sleep well any night.


    But, she was still very happy inside, she really liked Xiaobao.


    “Baby, let mom teach you to read.”


    Since Xu Chaomu had no sleepiness anyway, she simply opened a literacy book filled with many, many pictures.


    “Look, this is an apple, this is a banana,” Xu Chaomu pointed at the pictures, one by one, showing them to Xiaobao.


    Xiaobao’s crying gradually subsided, probably because he found these colorful pictures very beautiful.


    After a while, he started reaching out to touch the pictures.


    “Mom will turn the pages for you,” seeing Xiaobao’s curiosity, Xu Chaomu patiently turned the pages one by one.


    So Xiaobao liked this…


    But, after flipping only a few pages, Xiaobao started to fuss again, crying fiercely and continuously kicking Xu Chaomu.


    Xu Chaomu looked and noticed that Xiaobao’s face had turned red without knowing when, and his body was burning hot.


    When she touched his forehead, he had a fever!


    No wonder he kept being fussy!


    Xu Chaomu panicked, quickly picking up Xiaobao, “Mom will take you to the hospital.”


    She glanced outside the window, it was raining cats and dogs, pouring down heavily, “pitter-patter” hitting the ground and tree branches.


    The rain outside was heavy, Xu Chaomu was anxious, with such heavy rain, how could she get to the hospital.


    But Xiaobao was crying fiercely, and his forehead was getting hotter.


    This was her first time encountering such a situation, she took out a tablet from the medicine box, crushed it, and dissolved it in water for Xiaobao to drink.


    Xiaobao had a severe fever!


    He was fine last night, how could it be now…


    Xu Chaomu gritted her teeth, holding the phone, undecided who to call.


    At this hour, it wasn’t appropriate to call anyone, she suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.


    She could handle things on her own, but Xiaobao couldn’t, she was his mother, she should take care of him.


    Adults suffer a lot with a fever, let alone such a small child, he must be feeling especially miserable.


    Not knowing whom to call, she gritted her teeth, ready to take Xiaobao to a nearby hospital.


    She wrapped Xiaobao in a raincoat, herself holding an umbrella, and trudged through the rainwater towards the hospital.


    Inside, it didn’t feel that bad, but stepping out into the rain, a torrential downpour hit her face, an umbrella couldn’t hold it back. The rain splattered loudly on the ground and on the umbrella, and soon Xu Chaomu’s umbrella was completely wet.


    Except for the sound of rain, she couldn’t hear anything else aside.


    She hugged Xiaobao tightly, wrapping him securely in her arms, fearful that any rain might fall on him.


    But, after walking a few steps, her shoes and trousers were all soaked through and soon, her shirt on her arms was wet too.


    She truly had no experience with this, she just knew that going to the hospital must be better.


    Fevers in children should not be delayed, the longer it’s put off, the worse it would definitely get.


    The rain was much heavier than she expected, the road was completely waterlogged, the drainage couldn’t keep up, and the water had already risen to her calves.


    “Baby, hold on, mom is taking you to the hospital right now,” Xu Chaomu held him tight.


    Xiaobao wasn’t drenched by a single drop of rain, but because of the fever, he was too uncomfortable and kept crying.


    In the quiet night sky, Xiaobao’s cries were especially loud, perhaps Xu Chaomu was thankful for the rain, otherwise, she would not dare to walk on the night roads alone.


    However, walking on the road, when suddenly a flash of lightning streaked across, she still felt like screaming.


    At last, she just gritted her teeth and held on.


    When she had someone to rely on, she could make a fuss all she wished; without, she could only depend on herself.


    It’s just, she felt somewhat sorry for Xiaobao.


    She had never walked a road amidst a storm with lightning and thunder; previously she was afraid, but thinking about it now, it didn’t seem like much.


    No matter how loud the thunder or how heavy the rain, she had walked through it.


    There was no one else on the road; she squinted her eyes, enduring it all.


    This scene, it evoked memories of that time on the ferry on Sumatra Island.


    Back then, it was also a heavy rain, with a bloody scent lingering in the air. The scene was so profound that she hadn’t forgotten it to this day.


    That bloody scent, even thinking about it now, made her feel nauseous.


    But what she could never forget in her life was the moment the bullet passed through her back–the pain was excruciating, as though piercing her heart and bones, so intense it blurred life and death.


    That feeling, she could never forget.


    This storm had stirred her memories again, and thinking about it, it had already been six years.


    The cold rain fell on her body; six years ago, lonely and unaided, and still the same six years later.


    Only now, she had Xiaobao; Xiaobao was her whole world.


    The walk took about fifteen minutes; thankfully, the hospital wasn’t too far.


    By the time she arrived at the emergency room, she was completely soaked, but Xiaobao was unharmed.


    “Doctor, my baby has a fever; please check on him…”


    “Miss, don’t worry; I’ll find the duty doctor right away,” a duty nurse said.


    “Okay, okay,” Xu Chaomu replied, her face anxious.


    Water dripped from her hair to the floor, but she didn’t care at all; all that mattered was that Xiaobao was okay.


    Xiaobao, perhaps tired from crying, had stopped by the time they reached the hospital, only sobbing weakly.


    Soon, the nurse whisked Xiaobao away.


    The doctor busily took Xiaobao’s temperature and gave him an injection, instructing Xu Chaomu to watch over Xiaobao and monitor him closely.


    After the injection, Xiaobao quickly fell asleep and stopped crying, although he still refused to eat.


    Xu Chaomu was also exhausted; during the late hours when Xiaobao didn’t cry, she dozed off, leaning her cheek.


    The nurse was very kind, continually helping her watch over Xiaobao, even urging Xu Chaomu to change her clothes.


    While Xu Chaomu slept, she wasn’t awoken; instead, she was allowed to continue sleeping.


    The nurse truly pitied Xu Chaomu; coming to the hospital alone in the middle of the night amidst rain and wind, utterly drenched.


    Where was her family?


    The nurse sighed, helping care for Xiaobao.


    The child was very good-looking, especially his eyelashes, which were particularly beautiful; the young nurse liked him very much.


    …


    Xiaobao slept very peacefully, all the way until five in the morning.


    When he woke up, his fever had largely subsided, and his face was no longer red.


    He stared around with big eyes.

    This place seemed unfamiliar, not quite like home, and had a strange scent.


    His big eyes wandered, and after a while, he seemed to notice Xu Chaomu, reaching out his tiny hand to grab her hair.


    Xu Chaomu was startled awake.


    Looking up, the sky was already bright, and the rain had stopped.


    Checking the time, it was nearly six o’clock.
