Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Safe Return Home

The next morning, the little boy woke up early, and as soon as he opened his eyes, the first thing he said was, "Mommy, I’m hungry..."

Fortunately, Zhu Qianying had been deeply concerned about her precious son’s body and was up before five in the morning to prepare an acidic soup. She then used this soup to make some rice paste to ensure that it was nutritious and easy to digest.

The little boy, with his sleepy eyes, opened his mouth to eat the rice paste.

Perhaps it had been too long since he had eaten food specifically for infants, and his brows furrowed slightly in response.

Zhu Qianying interpreted this as a lack of taste, "Doesn’t it taste good?"

The little boy shook his head. "Why is it a paste?"

His voice, compared to the hoarse one from yesterday, was already a lot clearer and much stronger.

This time, he ate a whole bowl of rice paste.

After finishing the paste, the little one thought his parents would carry him to wash his face and brush his teeth. The usual sequence was out of order in such a special situation, and even the cleanliness-obsessed Eldest Young Master, put it aside, not to mention Zhu Qianying?

"I can do it myself..."

However, he refused his parents’ kindness, struggled to sit up from the bed, and tried to get down.

Eldest Young Master quickly bent down to help him put on his shoes and then lifted him onto the floor.

The little boy leaned on the bed, not in a rush to walk. He moved his feet a little and swayed his hands. Only after he was satisfied that he was okay did he start to slowly walk towards the bathroom with the help of the bed.

Eldest Young Master was concerned and followed him to the bathroom.

Then, Zhu Qianying, who was tidying up the room, heard the conversation between the two of them from the bathroom.

"Daddy, can you go out? I need to pee..."

"Go ahead and pee, Daddy has seen it before..."

"No, I’m a big boy now..."

"Daddy was holding you while you pee last night..."

"How could that be..."

Then, accompanied by their squabbles, a rustling sound came from within.

It was quite clear that the little boy couldn’t hold it in any longer. He didn’t manage to kick the Eldest Young Master out in time and had to solve it urgently.

Once the boy finished washing up, the dean was already waiting outside with the doctor and the nurse.

It turned out that Eldest Young Master was still not quite at ease. To be safe, he had asked the dean of the hospital to carry out a complete body examination on the boy using the most precise instruments. Only after they had ascertained his health condition, did he process the discharge procedures for the boy. They then returned to the seaside villa as a family of three.

The boy’s mental state was much better compared to when he had just woken up last night. Although, it was still incomparable to his usual lively self. At least he was no longer causing any worry.

Eldest Young Master and Zhu Qianying were both very eager to know what had happened to their son. However, since he hadn’t mentioned a word since he woke up, neither of them dared to ask about it.

Of course, they wanted to get to the bottom of the incident as soon as possible. Given the temperament of their son, they knew that he would not have gone to the waterfall to watch the cascading water and then fall into the deep pool on his own accord.

However, they were afraid that questioning him would bring back terrifying memories of the incident. They were worried about how their five-year-old boy would handle it.

Eldest Young Master consulted Teacher Xiao in private, who advised him to wait a bit longer. The basic idea was to see if his son would speak up voluntarily. If he didn’t, they would have to choose a suitable timing and tactful approach to question him.

The little boy, of course, was unaware of his parents’ anxiety and internal conflict. He had heard that Star had found him with Mommy and Daddy, so as soon as he got out of the car, he went straight toward the doghouse in the garden.

The little one was walking quite slowly, and Star, who had been resting with his eyes closed, seemed to sense that his little master had returned. He opened his eyes, jumped up, and ran toward the little boy, barking the whole way.

Zhu Qianying and Eldest Young Master exchanged glances. "You keep our son company, I’ll go cook dinner!"

Zhu Qianying left the two of them and went into the house by herself.

Eldest Young Master slowly walked over, and from a distance, he could see the little boy bending down to hug Star, rubbing his face against Star’s, and mumbling something. Star was also quietly rubbing against him, humming softly, with its tail wagging enthusiastically.

Seeing this, Eldest Young Master stopped and sat on the stone bench at the side of the pathway, quietly watching the intimate interaction between the boy and the dog from a distance.

The sun gradually moved westward, casting a splendid light across the sea. The little boy’s tiny figure, under this brilliant light, seemed even more radiant.

Eldest Young Master stood up, walked over, and stroked both the boy and Star’s hair with his hands.

"Baby, let’s go inside and play, okay?"

Eldest Young Master was concerned that the little boy’s weak body would not be able to withstand such long periods of physical exertion, so he softly coaxed him into going back to the house.

The little boy seemed to understand his physical condition and obediently wrapped his arms around Eldest Young Master’s neck.

Eldest Young Master supported his hips and stood up. After the boy had sweated slightly on his nose, Eldest Young Master gave him a gentle kiss and turned to Star, who was still barking softly, and said, "Star, we’re going inside to play!"

Star appeared to understand human words and happily followed Eldest Young Master into the house, wagging its tail.

When Eldest Young Master was carrying the boy and changing his shoes at the entrance hall, he first squatted down and let the boy sit on his thigh. He then reached over, picked up a pair of slippers, and put them on for the little boy.

The little boy was still holding onto his neck. Once the boy had his shoes changed, he swung his feet comfortably and gave a kiss on Eldest Young Master’s cheek, "Thank you, Daddy!"

Eldest Young Master stroked his head, stood up, changed his own slippers, and walked into the living room.

He then pointed towards the kitchen. "Daddy, go and see what delicious food Mommy is preparing."

Eldest Young Master again hoisted the boy up and headed towards the kitchen. The boy, who hadn’t been so clingy to him in a long time, made Eldest Young Master cherish the intimacy he felt.

He held the boy without any complaints and walked over to Zhu Qianying. "Mommy, what delicious food are you making?"

The boy let go of one arm and reached for Zhu Qianying’s shoulder.

Zhu Qianying turned around to look at the father-son duo. "The doctor said that for the next few days, it’s best for the boy to eat liquid food. I am cooking soup and porridge, and your father and I will have noodles."

The kitchen was fully stocked, but Zhu Qianying didn’t dare prepare an extravagant meal, since they needed to keep the boy’s diet light. She didn’t want to seem indulgent in front of him.

"Oh..."

It was clear that the boy was a bit disappointed, but he seemed to understand why this was necessary, so he didn’t say much.

Zhu Qianying quickly reassured him, "In a few days, Mommy will make a big meal for you, okay!"
