She grew up in adverse circumstances, so her immune system had been trained to be strong since she was young . She couldn’t remember the last time she had caught the flu, nor could she remember if she was ever down with a fever .
Except for the time she injured her thigh and it became inflamed after her shower . That time, however, Xuxu noticed it in time and her fever wasn’t that serious .
She had never felt this way before .
She was afraid .
Bai Jing frowned . “What are you blabbering about? Your injury is inflamed so you’re just down with a fever . ”
Then she thought for a while and continued, “I’ll take you to the hospital . ”
Su Yue had her reservations about going to the hospital . “Will my Third sister-in-law know if I went to the hospital?”
“She won’t,” Bai Jing assured . Then she continued with a frown . “If you’re so scared, why did you get a tattoo? Only hooligans and gangsters get this kind of thing . ”
She helped Su Yue up .
“No, Uncle Ming has a tattoo too,” Su Yue defended . She then pointed at her chest and continued, “He tattooed a mouse here . It looked really good . ”
She had just laid down for a while, but when she stood up, her giddiness had faded a lot .
Bai Jing commented, “Mice don’t look good . ”
She held onto Su Yue and walked towards the door .
When they reached the doorstep, Su Yue put on her shoes . Bai Jing took a bunch of keys from above the shoe cupboard and asked, “Are these your house keys?”
Su Yue glanced over and nodded . “Yes . ”
“Bring them along,” Bai Jing replied, stuffing the keys into Su Yue’s pocket .
It was summertime and the heat was scorching even at five p . m .
Su Yue felt very hot and her entire body was as red as a cooked prawn . But she couldn’t sweat it out . They got to the entrance of the district and it was ages before they managed to get a cab .
The two weren’t familiar with their surroundings, so they consulted the taxi driver . He asked them about their situation and brought them to the district hospital .
“Good gracious, 40 . 5°C . Any later and your brain would’ve been fried . ”
The female doctor in her forties looked at the thermometer and glared at Su Yue .
‘40 . 5°C!’
Bai Jing was horrified . She asked in a panic, “Doctor, what can we do?”
She replied, “What else? She has to eat medicine and get an injection . ”
She then looked over at Su Yue’s chest . “What tattoo did you get?”
Su Yue had already filled her in on her situation .
Su Yue replied, “A cat . ”
She then pulled down her collar and showed her tattoo to the doctor .
She looked at it and smiled . “It’s an abstract . ”
“It’s swollen,” Su Yue explained as she pouted . “It looked good before that . ”
“Go pay up, then get a drip,” the doctor said, passing Su Yue a bill . “You need to stay in the hospital tonight . Your inflammation is serious . ”
Su Yue frowned . “Must I stay here?”
‘What if Third sister-in-law found out?’
“Yes, it’s a must . ”
The doctor felt that she had to be clear when she was communicating with a young lass .
Su Yue replied with an ‘oh’ . She was scared of dying, so she obediently stayed the night in the hospital .
Bai Jing did all the hospital papers and procedures for her . It was a district hospital, so the conditions weren’t very good . Su Yue had to share a ward with someone else .
She had four bottles of IV drips, which continued dripping even at seven p . m .
When Su Yue woke from her slumber, Bai Jing was sitting at her bedside using her phone . In her hand was the latest iPhone model .
Her phone cover had a cute shell on it . Su Yue commented disapprovingly, “Bai Jing, your phone cover is not cool at all . ”
