Chapter 679: Don't Forget That All Medicine Carries a Third Part Poison
Fu Yanwei rushed a few steps to his son's bedside, reached out, and touched his son's forehead: "I'll go find the Physician right now."
Fu Yanwan greeted Hao Yanhong, then went to her nephew's bedside; the small child had rosy cheeks, his little mouth opening and closing, his fever so high even his lips were bright red, and her heart couldn't help but grow extremely anxious.
She saw a small enamel cup on the table: "Second Sister-in-law, is this cup ours?"
Hao Yanhong, her eyes red, nodded at her: "Yes."
Seeing there was still water in the cup, she took a spoon from her shoulder bag; she had originally brought a bottle of orange canned fruit, intending for him to use the spoon to eat the canned fruit, but now it would serve perfectly to give Xiao Ze some water.
Hao Yanhong finally came to her senses; she had truly been dazed, knowing only to be anxious, and hadn't even thought to give the child some water for all this time?
As soon as the water entered the child's mouth, the child clung to it like a lifeline, swallowing it quickly; until the half cup of water was finished, the child still kept his mouth open, searching for more water.
At this moment, Fu Yanwei returned alone.
Hao Yanhong saw no one behind him: "Where is the Physician? Why hasn't he come?"
Fu Yanwei said: "The Physician said the fever-reducing injection was given not long ago, and told us to wait a bit longer."
Hao Yanhong spoke urgently: "How can they be like this? What if Xiao Ze's brain gets damaged by the fever?"
Fu Yanwan had previously read some medical books: "Second Sister-in-law, shortly after an injection, one cannot use another fever-reducing medicine; that would do no good for the child. Don't forget that all medicine carries a third part poison; Xiao Ze is still so young, we cannot act recklessly."
Fu Yanwei glanced at his younger sister, somewhat awkwardly saying: "Little Sister, please go pay the fees for Xiao Ze first; if she still hasn't broken the fever after a while, I will go find the Physician again to seek a solution."
After Fu Yanwan nodded, she turned and left the ward.
Fortunately, as soon as she returned after paying the fees, she heard her second sister-in-law Hao Yanhong exclaim in shock: "He's sweating, he's sweating, thank heavens, finally sweating."
As she spoke, her voice even carried a sobbing tone.
Fu Yanwan hurried inside, saw that the child was indeed sweating, and that his breathing was no longer as heavy as before: "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, I'll return to the Ding Zhiqing point to cook some porridge; I'll bring it over to you in a while, so that if Ze wakes up, he can have a sip, saving him from a hungry stomach in the middle of the night."
Knowing her nephew's fever had broken, there was no need for her to stay there any longer; after all, her relationship with her second sister-in-law wasn't particularly good.
If it weren't for the fear of people laughing at them, the bond between her and her sister-in-law probably would have broken down long ago.
Fu Yanwei naturally did not force his younger sister: "Alright, I'll walk you back."
Fu Yanwan waved her hand: "No need, I can go back by myself; you stay and take care of Xiao Ze."
Fu Yanwei, however, did not agree: "I brought you here, so naturally I must walk you back; it's already dark, and if anything goes wrong, the whole family would beat me to death."
Fu Yanwan rolled her eyes at him: "Clearly you just don't trust me, yet you insist on dragging the family into it; I'm too lazy to argue with you."
After walking the person to the Ding Zhiqing point and watching her enter the dormitory, he only then turned and left.
Fu Yanwan took some millet from her own cabinet; this was what her fourth sister-in-law, the eldest sister, had given her.
She called out to Sun Juanjuan: "Juanjuan, can you accompany me to the canteen?"
Sun Juanjuan had originally intended to wait until Fu Yanwan returned before sleeping, but after working all day, she had dozed off while lying down; hearing her own Young Lady's voice now, she jolted awake: "Xiao Wan, you're back?"
"Mm, accompany me to the canteen."
"It's so late, what are you going to the canteen for?"
After speaking, she then remembered that Xiao Wan's nephew had a fever: "What's this?"
