Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 557 - Chapter 557 Chapter 558 It Hurts to Look at It

Chapter 557: Chapter 558: It Hurts to Look at It Chapter 557: Chapter 558: It Hurts to Look at It “Yeah, thank goodness everything’s okay now,” Fu Shiyin was also seized with a sudden fear.

Xiao’ai woke up with a slight fever this morning, and they thought it was just a child’s natural response to getting out of a warm bed. They assumed she would be fine after playing for a while. Unexpectedly, by noon, she suddenly developed a high fever and passed out.

In a rush, the two of them hurried Xiao’ai down the mountain to seek medical treatment, spending nearly all their savings on the medical fees.

Xiao’ai’s condition wasn’t just a simple fever; the comatose child terrified the elderly couple.

Ge Tingzhi remembered that Tang Zelin had a good friend working at the Military Region Hospital, so he quickly sought out Wang Xie, which spared them a lot of trouble.

As soon as Wang Xie saw the Tang family’s child, he picked her up and rushed her to get examined.

After a busy afternoon, Xiao’ai had just regained consciousness safely.

The couple breathed a long sigh of relief. As long as she was safe, that was all that mattered.

Xiao’ai’s condition was a bit odd. Normally, even if a fever led to temporary unconsciousness, she should have improved after the fever-reducing injection and IV fluids. She shouldn’t have remained unconscious for so long.

They were worried her prolonged unconsciousness could have damaged her brain.

It wasn’t until Xiao’ai woke up that Wang Xie conducted another thorough examination, particularly checking for any brain issues. When he found nothing serious, everyone finally relaxed completely.

By the time Ji Dong arrived, Xiao’ai had already awakened from her groggy state.

Heavy footsteps were heard at the door, and everyone turned to look.

“Is that Company Commander Ji?” asked Ge Tingzhi.

“Mr. Ge, just call me Ji Dong.”

He spoke with great politeness before his elders.

“You’re here to see Xiao’ai, right? Have you been to your home?” Fu Shiyin greeted him with a slight smile.

Ji Dong nodded. “I went up the mountain and the neighbors told me Xiao’ai was ill, so I came down to check on her. How is she doing, all right now?”

Fu Shiyin moved close as Ji Dong stood at the foot of the bed, his gaze resting on the pale, bloodstreaked face of the young girl.

He felt a twinge of pity.

The sight of the cold needle in such a small hand was heart-wrenching.

Fu Shiyin clutched at her chest, “Ah, you have no idea how scared we were earlier. She suddenly spiked such a high fever. We’re lucky the hospital had the necessary medication; otherwise, we wouldn’t know what to do.”

Hearing this, there appeared to be no serious problem.

Ji Dong felt a slight sense of relief and went over to touch Xiao’ai’s forehead. Hmm, not bad, the fever had subsided.

Xiao’ai was looking up at Ji Dong with her big eyes blinking attractively, unconsciously making him smile.

“Next time, if you feel unwell, you must tell Grandma and Grandpa in advance. Otherwise, it’s very dangerous, and they will worry about you a lot,” he cautioned.

“Xiao’ai understands,” she replied in her soft, childish voice, filled with discomfort but obedient.

Xiao’ai’s childish voice was as delightful as a songbird’s.

Ever since Ji Dong learned that Xiao’ai could talk, he suspected that he often came to visit just to hear her call him “Uncle Ji, you’re here.” It was a feeling difficult to express in words.

Fu Shiyin was about to move a stool for him to sit, but Ji Dong quickly took care of it himself. Looking at the less than half-remaining IV fluid, he asked the Ge family elders.

“Is this the last of the medication?”

“There’s one more small bottle to go, and then we can leave,” they replied.

Ji Dong uttered an affirmative sound, glancing at the tired little girl, “I’m free tonight, so I’ll take you guys back later.”
