Chapter 25 He walked over to them. He hesitated for a moment before picking up a nearby blanket and gently covering Ruan Xia with it. (3)

The chubby kid didnt like to brush his teeth and looked as if he would rather bravely face off death than brush his teeth. Seeing how utterly serious Song Shuyan looked, Ruan Xia laughed in amusement.

After the two came back from brushing their teeth and washing their faces, they saw that Song Tingshen was already awake. He went to the bathroom with his toothbrush and towel.

It wasnt convenient to wash up on a trains bathroom, but for them, this was a rare experience, so it wasnt that bad.

Ruan Xia discovered that the chubby kid wasnt in good spirits today. He had even coughed several times. Her heart thumped for a moment. In the novel, the housekeeper aunty had called Song Tingshen when the chubby kid had gotten a fever and she couldnt contact the novels Ruan Xia. Song Tingshen, who cherished his son, naturally rushed back because of the housekeepers call.

But, Ruan Xia could see the truth for herself right now. Even if the housekeeper had been able to contact the novels Ruan Xia, Song Tingshen would have still changed his plane ticket and returned home early if he knew their son was sick.

And so, it wouldnt be correct to say it was the novels Ruan Xias fault.

The housekeeper aunty knew that Mr. Song was the one who had the final say in the household, so she would have probably informed Mr. Song regardless if she had been able to reach the novels Ruan Xia. No, the novels Ruan Xia would have called her husband too.

So, if she hadnt decided to bring Little Wang to City A, it was very likely that Mr. Song would have found once Little Wang fell sick today. Unless she was able to keep little Wangs fever a secret, Song Tingshen would have taken an earlier flight

If that happened, it was very likely that he would have died.

If she hadnt come to City A and instead tried to earnestly caution him to not change his plane ticket, he wouldnt have listened to her. After all, if she looked at it from his point of view, his wife didnt love their child, his work had been concluded, and he would feel more at ease if he could be by his sick sons side.

Fortunately, she had come to City A and brought Little Wang with her. Otherwise, she wasnt sure if she could successfully change the trajectory of the story. She didnt dare to imagine what would have happened to Song Tingshen if she had chosen differently

As a competent father, Song Tingshen naturally noticed that Little Wang wasnt feeling well too. After the train arrived at their destination, the family of three took a taxi and returned to their villa instead of going straight to the hospital. After all, it was common for young children to get sick. Even if they took Little Wang to the hospital, the doctor would only tell them to keep him under observation. It was only if his fever didnt go down that the doctor would proceed to the next step, which was giving him a shot.

Once they got home, Song Tingshen adeptly wiped down Little Wangs feverish body with warm water and fed him water.

Ruan Xia, who was standing at the side, could only help by recording Little Wangs temperature fluctuations.

It was only after today that she understood why her previous coworker had said that adults would suffer too when a child was sick. It was because when a child was sick, there was no way an adult would be able to rest.

Ruan Xia and Song Tingsheng both stayed by Little Wangs side. Neither one could put down their worries and go to their rooms to sleep.

Little Wang had clearly been fine yesterday. How could he have gotten a fever overnight? Ruan Xia thought about it for a while, but she couldnt think of a good reason. She could only assume that the novels plot was too powerful, and some things couldnt be prevented.

By the wee hours of the next day, Ruan Xia wasnt able to stave off her sleepiness. She fell asleep next to Little Wang with the thermometer still in her hand.

When Song Tingshen walked back into the room, this was the scene that he was greeted with.

Even though Little Wang was sick, he probably sensed that his mom was by his side and subconsciously leaned towards her. The mother and son were lying in the bed with similar sleeping faces.

He walked over to them. He hesitated for a moment before picking up a nearby blanket and gently covering Ruan Xia with it.
