Chapter 418 - She’ll Listen
Jie was obviously taken aback by her question. He couldn't understand what made this teacher ask this question but it made him sad. Even an outsider could see something was wrong with his family. How come his wife still insisted that they have had a happy family until now?
No matter what he thought in his heart, he replied, "No. Why would you think something's wrong?"
The teacher pressed her lips together before saying, "Maybe I'm wrong then. But today, Juan has been acting strange since morning."
Jie was instantly in an alert mode as he questioned, "What? How was she acting strange?"
"I think as her father you know better how lively she is." Jie nodded his head without any hesitation. "But today she had been very quiet. Usually, she'd be jumping around, chattering nonstop. However, I barely heard her voice today. She seemed lost in her own thoughts." She paused briefly before adding, "That's why I thought maybe something is wrong in your family that disturbed her. After all, kids are very sensitive to such things."
Jie exhaled a long breath and nodded, "Thank you so much for letting me know!"
The teacher smiled at him politely before leaving. Jie turned back to his phone with a complicated look. He thought since the fight is between them, Xu Mey would definitely come for the kids. She couldn't possibly be mad at them. He dialed Xu Mey's number and waited. However, he soon realized that he was blacklisted. He couldn't even call her now.
Just amazing!
He wanted to throw his phone but didn't do so. If she didn't want to talk to him, he also wasn't gonna let her know anything. What's the point? Last night, she could have overlooked Juan's outburst since Juan is a kid, why did she have to act like a kid as well? Since she didn't care about their daughter last night, she wouldn't care now either.
Obviously, all these thoughts were coming because of how lonely, stressed, and exhausted he felt. As the doctor came out, he hurriedly inquired, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"
"Mr. Zhu, your daughter's fever is... Tricky. We have been trying to reduce it but the problem is she is not responding to any medication." Jie's heart sank. The doctor patted his shoulder and added, "But don't worry. Didn't you call the country's renowned pediatrician team? I'm just going to receive them. Your daughter will be fine."
Jie stared at the doctor with a perplexed look in his eyes. He called for the renowned pediatrician team? When did he do that? Wait! Why didn't he think of calling his connections? In his anxiety, he couldn't think straight at all!
Suddenly he smiled and shook his head. Did he even have to call anyone? How could his Juan's Ruru not know that she was in the hospital? It'd be a miracle if that twisted cousin of his didn't know about this.
He took his phone and typed a message for her: [Thank you, stalker!]
He wanted to laugh at her. Even when she wasn't around, she'd make sure to let you know that she's always around. This reassurance was already enough to ease his heart. If the doctor's team was sent by Ru, then he could finally calm down a little.
He watched as the president of the hospital came out of the elevator with a team of 6 doctors of different ages. They all were discussing the case among themselves and as they came close, Jie spoke up, "Please take care of my daughter."
One of the older doctors gave him a reassuring smile as she said, "We'll do our best, Mr. Zhu Jie. Young Master Ru's instructions are quite strict."
Jie could only agree with those words as he watched the team of doctors rushing inside her daughter's room. They had shifted her to a private room from the ER and Jie was still not allowed to meet Juan. But he did get a glimpse of his daughter. Her smiling face was now twisted in pain as she was sweating profusely and whimpering softly even in her unconscious state.
There was an IV on her hand, Jie felt like someone was twisting his heart. He felt like he was the one suffering instead of her. In fact, if he could he would gladly want to swap places with his daughter. That was his precious daughter.
While he was pacing around in the corridor...
"Dad!"
Jie looked over and saw Bao running towards him. He was shocked to see him here. Then he looked behind him and seeing his secretary, he squinted his eyes. The latter only replied, "Young Master was calling me incessantly. He even threatened, if I didn't come to pick him up from school, he'd take a cab on his own."
"Your point is, Lizzy?"
She cleared her throat, "He is a good negotiator."
Jie shook his head and picked up his son who didn't resist today. He even wrapped his small arms around his neck and buried his face in the crook of his neck. Jie patted his back to soothe him and said, "Juan is fine. You don't need to worry so much."
Bao looked at his face and said, "If she was fine, you wouldn't look like this."
"How do I look?" Jie raised his brows inquisitively.
"It seems you aged a lot in just an hour," replied Bao with a straight face. Jie pressed his lips together and didn't say anything in reply. Instead, it was Bao who asked, "She will be fine, right?"
Jie nodded his head and kissed his forehead, "Yes. Your Ruru sent the best doctors. How will our Jaun not get better? We just need to pray for her." He pinched his nose and went on, "Especially you."
"Me?"
"Hm... Since you're Juan's twin, if you'll call for her in your prayers, she'll definitely listen. She has never refused you, right?" He nodded his head. "So, if you'll call then she'll definitely answer."
Bao placed his hands together and closed his eyes, earnestly praying for his sister. Seeing this Jie kissed his cheek, and rubbed his head.
