Chapter 575: Chapter 575: He’s Still in the Mood to Attend a Wedding?

He Nan frowned, "The child is in such a state, and he still has the mood to attend a wedding?"

"He, he doesn’t know the child has a fever."

Li Shiping was not good at lying; every expression showed on her face.

He Nan and Shen Mianmian could tell what was going on in an instant.

The child had not become so feverish suddenly. Wan Dongcheng’s belief in favoring sons over daughters was severe; he must have dismissed the child’s fever as nothing serious and went straight home, which led to the child’s condition worsening.

Thinking through the cause and consequence, both of them had icily cold expressions, strikingly unanimous.

Li Shiping knew they had seen through the truth, and her face flushed red; she felt extremely embarrassed, but she was more afraid of her family finding out.

"Mianmian, He Nan, could you please not tell Xiaoyue and my parents? I’m worried they’ll be concerned."

Shen Mianmian glanced at He Nan and pursed her lips, "Sister Shiping, I am not the kind to gossip."

He Nan did not make any statement but said indifferently, "The child is unwell and may fuss when he wakes up. You all should rest for a bit, I’ll watch the IV."

"Mianmian, you go get some sleep! I can’t sleep."

Actually, Li Shiping had not slept since last night till now; with the child having a fever, she dared not sleep.

Although she was very tired and sleepy now, she still could not sleep. The fright she had earlier was too severe, and she still felt somewhat in a daze.

Moreover, since Shen Mianmian and He Nan had not been to bed, running over in the middle of the night to help her with the child, she felt guilty about sleeping.

The child’s condition had stabilized, and it would be okay to send them back, but having just experienced a moment of helplessness, she felt safer with someone around.

He Nan was a man, and it was inconvenient for him alone to stay here. Shen Mianmian was a young girl, likely scared to be here too. With a man around, they both felt more secure.

"Sister Shiping, I’m not sleepy. I don’t have school tomorrow, I can sleep during the day. You should rest first. You didn’t get any sleep last night, right? You definitely won’t be able to rest tomorrow either; sick children like to cling to their mothers. You have to rest well, you can’t fall ill, otherwise who will take care of the child?"

Li Shiping’s dark circles were severe, visibly without good sleep. Considering Wan Dongcheng’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t take care of the child; probably these past two days, it had been only Li Shiping looking after the child.

She felt heartache watching her.

If Xiu Min and Li Julin were to know, wouldn’t they feel heartbroken seeing how harshly Li Shiping had it?

Probably Li Yue was even in the mood to beat Wan Dongcheng to death.

"Mianmian..." Li Shiping was so moved she could not speak.

Shen Mianmian had no blood relation with her, yet cared so much for her and the child, while her husband did not care at all.

When the child was sick, he would only say, "It’s normal for little kids to have fevers, just give them some antipyretics and they’ll be fine."

When the child cried, he would even find it annoying.

Today, how she pleaded with him, yet he still left without any mercy. Although she kept reassuring herself, deep down, it was disheartening all the same.

"Sister Shiping, you should rest," Shen Mianmian said softly, comforting her. "I know what you want to say, I understand."

Compared to the previous life, what Xiu Min and Li Julin did for her, what she was doing now was nothing at all.

"Okay." Li Shiping wiped away her tears and lay down beside the child. It didn’t take long before her breathing evened out.

Seeing this, He Nan turned and walked out.

Shen Mianmian looked at the IV bag; there was still a lot of fluid in it, which would take a while to finish. So, she too tiptoed out.

Once outside, the cold breeze hit her, and she shivered. He Nan raised his eyebrows slightly and adjusted the clothing draped over her, "It’s cold outside, stay inside."
