The doctor worked for more than half an hour, but Mumu's body temperature remained stubbornly at 39 degrees.
The subordinate broke out in a cold sweat and begged the doctor to find a solution.
The doctor said helplessly: "The only option is injection."
"No!" Mu Mu said "Wow" and refused, "I don't want the injection!"
"Mu Mu, let the doctor give you an injection." His hand gently coaxed Mu Mu, "Just one injection. You won't feel uncomfortable after the injection."
"No!" Mu Mu firmly refused, "I don't want the injection, I don't want the injection!"
"Mumu..."
His subordinates racked their brains to organize their words and tried to persuade Mumu.
Mu Mu shrank back and wrapped himself in the quilt. He looked aggrieved, as if being hit with a needle was a torture in the world for him.
His men suddenly had no choice.
At this time, another subordinate came over and reminded: "An hour is up."
Mu Mu vaguely felt that the keywords "one hour" had something to do with him.
He blinked and asked, "What an hour?"
The subordinate said: "Brother Cheng knows about your fever. We have to call Brother Cheng every hour to report your situation."
Mu Mu said "Oh", stretched out her hand, and looked at her subordinates eagerly.
The subordinate asked in confusion: "Mumu, what do you want?"
Mumu sniffed: "I want to talk to daddy."
Kang Ruicheng told his subordinates not to let Mu Mu make phone calls casually.
But now Mumu wants to call Kangruicheng, should it be okay?
The subordinate hesitated for a moment, then dialed the number and handed the phone to Mumu.
Mu Mu seemed to know that her subordinate was worried, so she turned on the speakerphone, put the phone on the quilt, and looked at the phone expectantly.
Kang Ruicheng quickly answered the phone and asked directly in a cold voice: "How is Mumu?"
Mu Mu flattened her mouth and said, "Daddy."
"...Mu Mu?" Kang Ruicheng was stunned for a moment, then asked, "How do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"Yeah." Mu Mu coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't feel well."
"……what did the doctor say?"
Kang Ruicheng's voice was hard and emotionless.
However, anyone who knows him knows that his tone indicates that he cares deeply about someone.
The last time he spoke to someone in such a tone was when Xu Youning was accidentally injured while performing a mission a few years ago.
"Uncle doctor wants to give me an injection." Mu Mu said in a pitiful cry, "Daddy, I don't want an injection."
"...Why?" Kang Ruicheng asked.
Mu Mu slowly said in a protracted voice: "It will hurt."
If it were normal times, Kang Ruicheng could have told Mu Mu that the men of the Kang family couldn't bear even this little pain.
However, he suddenly remembered Xu Youning's words.
Xu Youning said that Mumu is still a child and should enjoy the innocence and happiness of childhood, as well as the simple and willful rights that a child should have.
As Mu Mu's father, he wanted to defend Mu Mu's rights, instead of mentally mapping out what Mu Mu would be like in ten years, and then training Mu Mu according to what he imagined.
Xu Youning also said very bluntly that only an incompetent father would place his hopes on his children.
Could it be that Xu Youning left him because he was too strict with Mu Mu?
Kang Ruicheng swallowed back the words that had reached his lips, and his voice softened as he said: "The injection only hurts for a short time. If you don't get the injection, you will still feel uncomfortable for a long time."
Mu Mu flattened her mouth and said aggrievedly: "I don't want any pain..."
Kang Ruicheng suddenly realized that Mu Mu must have some other request.
He asked tentatively: "What do you want?"
"Daddy," Mu Mu's voice was full of fatigue after illness, which sounded particularly distressing, "I want to see you."
"..." Kang Ruicheng felt as if his heart was being tugged violently. He was silent for a moment before saying, "I have something to do these two days. I'll see you when I'm done."
"..." Mu Mu neither cried nor fussed, nor asked Kang Ruicheng what he was busy with. He just said "oh" naturally out of habit, without even a trace of disappointment in his voice.
If you don’t have high expectations, you won’t be disappointed.
"Mu Mu..." Kang Ruicheng wanted to say something to Mu Mu, at least to explain that he was really in trouble.
"I don't want an injection!" Mu Mu was rarely willful and interrupted Kang Ruicheng's words with an extremely firm tone.
Kang Ruicheng knew that Mumu just didn't want to hear his explanation.
In this case, they should get back to business.
Being so far away from each other, Kang Ruicheng couldn't force Mumu to take an injection, so he could only follow him and say: "Okay, no injection. Let the doctor prescribe medicine for you, okay?"
"I don't take bitter medicine!" Mu Mu continued to emphasize.
"...I won't prescribe you any bitter medicine." Kang Ruicheng compromised again and again, "Give the doctor your phone number and I'll talk to him."
"Wait a minute. Daddy, I have another question to ask you." Mu Mu's voice has returned to its usual well-behaved tone.
Kang Ruicheng guessed what Mu Mu was going to ask and said nothing.
As expected, Mu Mu continued:
"Is Aunt Youning okay?"
Kang Ruicheng's eyes suddenly dimmed——
He didn't have any news about Xu Youning. Mu Mu... asked the wrong person.
Kang Ruicheng's voice was not heard from the phone for a long time. Mumu confirmed that the call was still going on and urged: "Daddy?"
"...I don't know." Kang Ruicheng used an emotionless voice to cover up the helplessness in his voice, "Mumu, I don't have any news about her."
Mu Mu didn't seem too surprised by the answer. She said "Oh" and said, "Then I'll give the phone number to the doctor uncle."
The doctor was Kang Ruicheng's personal doctor in the United States. As soon as he answered the phone, he immediately reported Mu Mu's condition to Kang Ruicheng: "Brother Cheng, Mu Mu probably has a cold, and her current temperature is still 39 degrees. If he refuses to get an injection,
It doesn't matter. I'll prescribe some medicine, take a rest after taking the medicine, and your body temperature will drop, so there's no need for the injection."
"Yeah." Kang Ruicheng explained, "Don't give him medicine that is too bitter."
"I understand." The doctor said respectfully, "The medicines taken by children are generally not bitter."
"Yes. If anything happens, please report to me at any time."
After Kang Ruicheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to prescribe medicine for Mu Mu. He prescribed some small pills and sweet granules, and Mu Mu obediently took them all.
The doctor silently sighed that this child was really different from his father, and his personality was much more lovable than his father's.
After Mumu finished taking the medicine, she handed the water glass back to the doctor and said politely and obediently: "Thank you, uncle."
"Good boy, you're welcome." The doctor pulled the quilt over Mumu and said, "You can rest here for a while. If you feel any discomfort, please tell me at any time."
Mu Mu pursed her lips, looked at the men who brought him to the hospital, and said, "I want to go home."
The subordinate looked at the doctor: "Can Mumu go home now?"
"Well..." The doctor was a little embarrassed, "Normally, he needs to be observed in the hospital. However, if the young master really wants to go home... then go back. I will bring the medicine and go back with you."
Mumu lives not far from the hospital, less than thirty minutes' drive.
As soon as he got home, Mumu locked himself in the room, saying he wanted to rest, and specifically told no one to come in and disturb him.
The men could tell that something was wrong with Mu Mu, but they didn't ask what it was.
This five-year-old child sometimes has more things on his mind than an adult, and he never talks about it. Even if he asks, he won't get an answer.
The subordinates and a group of servants had no choice but to prepare warm water and fruits for Mumu and put them in the room so that he could get them when he wanted to eat.
Mu Mu was lying sideways facing the wall. When she heard the sound of the door closing, she suddenly opened her eyes, confirmed that all her men and servants had gone out, ran out of bed and locked the door directly.
The subordinate heard a "click" and immediately reacted. He turned back and tried to open Mumu's door, but found that it could not be opened. There was no way to use the key, so he could only knock on the door: "Mumu?"
Mumu ran back to bed and said, "I fell asleep."
"Mumu, open the door." The subordinate was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, "You are not feeling well now. The doctor and I need to know your condition at all times. You can't lock yourself in the room."
"I will be fine after taking the medicine." Mu Mu pouted and said in an almost angry tone, "You and Daddy don't have to worry about me anymore!"
The subordinate wanted to persuade Mumu, but the doctor touched his arm with his elbow and motioned for him to go downstairs.
When we got downstairs, our subordinate asked in confusion: "Dr. Chen, what's wrong?"
Doctor Chen smiled and said, "You don't have children, so you don't understand. The young master is angry with Brother Cheng, and it's useless no matter how hard you try to persuade him."
"Angry?" The subordinate was even more confused, "Why is Mu Mu angry?" He has been taking care of Mu Mu in the United States for so long, and he has never seen Mu Mu angry, let alone angry at Kang Ruicheng.
"Maybe the child is sick and is a little willful." Doctor Chen said, "Do you remember when we were in the hospital, Mu Mu said she wanted to see Brother Cheng? Brother Cheng probably couldn't come and refused Mu Mu. Mu Mu seemed fine on the surface.
, I must still be feeling disappointed. Now that I’m home, I may feel more and more aggrieved the more I think about it, so I shut myself in the room and said things like, ‘You and dad don’t need to worry about me anymore’.”
The subordinate suddenly realized: "Doctor Chen, you mean that Mu Mu's focus is Brother Cheng, not us?"
"Of course it's not us." Dr. Chen said, "You'll have a look at the situation. If it doesn't work, just give Brother Cheng a call."
The men nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the entire responsibility for this matter lies with Kang Ruicheng, then it is none of their business and let Kang Ruicheng find a way to solve the problem!
Dr. Chen never expected that he was wrong.
Although Mu Mu was disappointed that Kang Ruicheng couldn't come, he was really used to it.
Habits come naturally, and Mumu was not disappointed for long, and she had already adjusted her mood in the hospital.
He locked himself in the room, just wanting to think about Xu Youning's situation.
After pondering for a long time, Mu Mu came up with a small summary:
His father didn't know about Aunt Youning's situation, which just showed that Aunt Youning was safe under the protection of Uncle Mu.
In other words, he doesn't need to worry about Aunt Youning at all!
