In the middle of the night, when Ji Aier was in a drowsy sleep, the alarm clock rang. She reflexively sat up, turned off the alarm clock, put on her slippers, and walked towards Ji En's room.
When they were discharged from the hospital, the doctor specifically instructed that if Ji En insisted on not having a nurse, then she had to pay close attention at all times to see if he had any symptoms of fever. If he did, it would mean that there was a possibility of his wound being infected.
When she arrived at Ji En's room, Ji Aier gently turned the doorknob. Ji En's bedroom was often not locked, and for this reason, he also required that Ji Aier's bedroom not be locked either, so that it would be more convenient for him to find her in the middle of the night if he needed something. She walked into Ji En's bedroom. His bedroom was very large. There was a study outside, and the inner part was where he slept.
"Aier!" Ji Aier was startled when she heard Ji En calling her, but when she turned around, she saw that his eyes were still closed. He was actually talking in his sleep. She never expected that he wouldn't even let her have a break while he was sleeping.
But soon Ji Aier noticed something was wrong because Ji En's forehead was as hot as a stove. She immediately realized that Ji En must have had his wound infected.
"Ji En, Ji En," Ji Aier quickly pushed Ji En gently, trying to wake him up. They had to go to the hospital immediately. But Ji En's eyes were still closed, and his forehead was furrowed. It was obvious that he must be feeling very uncomfortable.
"Butler, butler," Ji Aier rushed downstairs to find the butler. She needed someone's help because she definitely couldn't carry Ji En on her own.
Soon, after the butler knew the situation, he immediately asked the servants and the driver to help carry Ji En downstairs and send him to the hospital. In the car, Ji Aier kept praying that Ji En would be alright.
"He needs to be hospitalized for observation for a few days. You can go and complete the hospitalization procedures first," the doctor said to them after the examination. The butler went to handle the procedures, and Ji Aier stayed in the ward to watch over Ji En.
Looking at Ji En, who was quietly sleeping with an IV drip, Ji Aier could finally relax her worried heart a bit and take a rest. She held Ji En's right hand and fell asleep by the bedside...
Ji Aier started having a dream that she often had:
The sky was filled with twinkling stars, which were very beautiful. Suddenly, one of the stars fell, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky and then disappearing below the horizon. She kept walking and walking, searching for that fallen star, but every time she woke up before she could find it. This time was no exception.
The hand that Ji Aier was holding suddenly tugged, waking her up.
"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Ji Aier opened her eyes, stood up, and asked Ji En.
"This is a hospital!" When Ji En realized that he was lying in the hospital, his brows furrowed unhappily.
Since he was a child, the place he hated the most was the hospital, so he had never been willing to be hospitalized. This was the first time he had been forced to come in.
"You had a high fever last night, so we had no choice but to bring you to the hospital," At that time, Ji Aier had forgotten that the Ji family had a private doctor. "How do you feel today?" As she spoke, she casually touched his forehead and no longer felt it was hot.
"I want some water," Ji En tried to sit up but failed because he was too weak.
"Don't move. I'll get it for you!" Ji Aier was very afraid that he would use his left hand to prop himself up in order to sit up.
"Help me sit up. I'm not paralyzed!" Ji En shouted. Unexpectedly, Ji En was still so domineering even when he was sick.
Ji Aier knew his personality too well. If she didn't help him sit up, he would definitely find a way to sit up on his own. So she did as he asked. He was really as heavy as an ox, Ji Aier thought while helping him up.
