Chapter 385: Chapter 384 Xiao’ai’s Secret Part 4 Chapter 385: Chapter 384 Xiao’ai’s Secret Part 4 Ji Dong answered, “No, it’s from the leader’s family.”

“Oh, from the leader’s family.” Upon hearing this, the girl’s eyes crinkled with a smile, and seeing the seat next to him was empty, she carried her IV bottle over from the opposite side and sat down.

“Soldier Brother, no one’s sitting here, you don’t mind if I sit down, do you?”

Ji Dong’s brow furrowed slightly, but then he relaxed it and said indifferently, “I don’t mind.”

She had already sat down before asking, could he say he minded?

The girl put on a smile, tilting her head to take a good look at Ji Dong, her smile growing even wider.

Xiao’ai sat obediently tucking the thermometer under her arm, nestled in Ji Dong’s arms, just like that, gazing with her grape-sized black eyes, quietly observing the cheerful young lady before her.

Ji Dong had a handsome and dignified appearance, and even though his skin was a bit dark, it was a healthy wheat color. A trace of sweat was faintly visible on his face, which, under the reflection of the light, exuded an explosive masculine charm.

Moreover, with his proper sitting posture, his tall figure, and his military uniform, he looked strong and powerful. Sitting beside him, the girl felt a special sense of security.

Such a stable and handsome man, yet holding a delicate little baby so carefully in his arms, oh boy, this stark contrast was endearing and eye-catching.

The girl wanted to strike up a conversation, but Ji Dong’s mind was only on the little girl in his arms, how sick she was, and whether it was serious or not. He touched Xiao’ai’s forehead from time to time.

Such a small child, she mustn’t have any complications.

Perhaps the temperature had suddenly dropped, or maybe winter was approaching. Recently, many people in the safety zone had become ill, with colds, fevers, coughs… all sorts of ailments. Influenza was rampant for the time being, and the hospital at the foot of the mountain and several temporary medical stations were overwhelmed with patients.

The hospital was so full that any patient who could get a spot to complete their IV drip was considered lucky.

A few minutes later, a nurse came to take the thermometer and glanced at the temperature. “Company Commander Ji, follow me, this way.”

Ji Dong stood up, picked up Xiao’ai, and turned to enter the doctor’s office. The girl sitting next to him probably didn’t want to miss the chance to talk, so she also got up, holding up her IV bottle and followed.

“How is it? The child is okay, right?”

Ji Dong was slightly taken aback, looked back at her, and said, “Aren’t you getting an IV?”

“Yeah, it’s boring just sitting there, so I thought I’d walk around a bit. Your child is okay, right?”

Ji Dong’s mouth twitched slightly, unsure of what to say, and he turned his head to face the doctor, “Doctor, how is she?”

The doctor, who had been busy all day, looked a bit tired, but observed carefully before starting to write a prescription.

“The flu is a bit serious lately. First, we’ll give a fever-reducing shot. The child is young, and a high fever is bad for the body.”

“Okay.”

While the doctor was writing the prescription, presumably because he rarely saw a child as well-behaved as Xiao’ai, he smiled and said, “Little girl, are you afraid of getting a shot?”

Xiao’ai shook her head.

But the doctor, who was looking down while writing, didn’t see it, so after waiting for a while without a reply, he looked up again and asked, “Getting a shot will make your head stop hurting, don’t be scared.”

Xiao’ai nodded her head.

After joking with her for a bit, the doctor noticed that the child would only shake or nod her head in response to what adults said, and seemed to understand everything without speaking. He looked curiously at Ji Dong.

“This child…”

“She doesn’t talk,” Ji Dong said simply.

The doctor’s hand paused, “She can’t talk? Is it congenital, or…”

Ji Dong said, “Not sure.”

Out of caution, the doctor lifted up Xiao’ai’s chin and coaxed, “Come on, little friend, open your mouth. Let uncle take a look, okay?”

Xiao’ai opened her mouth for him to check.

As the doctor was examining Xiao’ai’s throat for any damage, suddenly at the end of the corridor, a commotion erupted, filled with aggressive and harsh voices mixed with women’s screams of fright.

Xiao’ai was startled and immediately turned to look at Ji Dong.

Ji Dong frowned and touched her head, “Xiao’ai, don’t be scared.”

The doctor also stood up straight and inquired with concern at the nurse outside the door, “What’s happening?”

The nurse’s complexion changed drastically, “Dr. Song, the girl from bed 102 was thrown out!”

Upon hearing this, Dr. Song quickly got up, “Hurry and check on her. That Bai Qinghuan was brought in by Group Captain Tang, we can’t have any trouble!”
