Chapter 25 – He walked over to them. He hesitated for a moment before picking up a nearby blanket and gently covering Ruan Xia with it. (3)

The chubby kid didn’t like to brush his teeth and looked as if he would rather bravely face off death than brush his teeth. Seeing how utterly serious Song Shuyan looked, Ruan Xia laughed in amusement.

After the two came back from brushing their teeth and washing their faces, they saw that Song Tingshen was already awake. He went to the bathroom with his toothbrush and towel.

It wasn’t convenient to wash up on a train’s bathroom, but for them, this was a rare experience, so it wasn’t that bad.

Ruan Xia discovered that the chubby kid wasn’t in good spirits today. He had even coughed several times. Her heart thumped for a moment. In the novel, the housekeeper aunty had called Song Tingshen when the chubby kid had gotten a fever and she couldn’t contact the novel’s Ruan Xia. Song Tingshen, who cherished his son, naturally rushed back because of the housekeeper’s call.

But, Ruan Xia could see the truth for herself right now. Even if the housekeeper had been able to contact the novel’s Ruan Xia, Song Tingshen would have still changed his plane ticket and returned home early if he knew their son was sick.

And so, it wouldn’t be correct to say it was the novel’s Ruan Xia’s fault.

The housekeeper aunty knew that Mr. Song was the one who had the final say in the household, so she would have probably informed Mr. Song regardless if she had been able to reach the novel’s Ruan Xia. No, the novel’s Ruan Xia would have called her husband too.

So, if she hadn’t decided to bring Little Wang to City A, it was very likely that Mr. Song would have found once Little Wang fell sick today. Unless she was able to keep little Wang’s fever a secret, Song Tingshen would have taken an earlier flight…

If that happened, it was very likely that he would have died.

If she hadn’t come to City A and instead tried to earnestly caution him to not change his plane ticket, he wouldn’t have listened to her. After all, if she looked at it from his point of view, his wife didn’t love their child, his work had been concluded, and he would feel more at ease if he could be by his sick son’s side.

Fortunately, she had come to City A and brought Little Wang with her. Otherwise, she wasn’t sure if she could successfully change the trajectory of the story. She didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened to Song Tingshen if she had chosen differently…

As a competent father, Song Tingshen naturally noticed that Little Wang wasn’t feeling well too. After the train arrived at their destination, the family of three took a taxi and returned to their villa instead of going straight to the hospital. After all, it was common for young children to get sick. Even if they took Little Wang to the hospital, the doctor would only tell them to keep him under observation. It was only if his fever didn’t go down that the doctor would proceed to the next step, which was giving him a shot.

Once they got home, Song Tingshen adeptly wiped down Little Wang’s feverish body with warm water and fed him water.

Ruan Xia, who was standing at the side, could only help by recording Little Wang’s temperature fluctuations.

It was only after today that she understood why her previous coworker had said that adults would suffer too when a child was sick. It was because when a child was sick, there was no way an adult would be able to rest.

Ruan Xia and Song Tingsheng both stayed by Little Wang’s side. Neither one could put down their worries and go to their rooms to sleep.

Little Wang had clearly been fine yesterday. How could he have gotten a fever overnight? Ruan Xia thought about it for a while, but she couldn’t think of a good reason. She could only assume that the novel’s plot was too powerful, and some things couldn’t be prevented.

By the wee hours of the next day, Ruan Xia wasn’t able to stave off her sleepiness. She fell asleep next to Little Wang with the thermometer still in her hand.

When Song Tingshen walked back into the room, this was the scene that he was greeted with.

Even though Little Wang was sick, he probably sensed that his mom was by his side and subconsciously leaned towards her. The mother and son were lying in the bed with similar sleeping faces.

He walked over to them. He hesitated for a moment before picking up a nearby blanket and gently covering Ruan Xia with it.
