"Hello, Matron Huang . "
Something must have happened to the orphanage since she phoned so late .
"Xuxu," Matron Huang sounded anxious over the phone, "little Huanhuan has contracted chickenpox and she is running a high fever now . The town hospital referred us to a hospital in the city instead . I'm taking her there now, but the thing is I have to go back to the orphanage after because only Aunt Wang is there to take care of the rest of the kids . If it's alright with you, can you watch over Huanhuan for the night?"
She then paused for a while, afraid that she was troubling Xuxu too much . "I can take over in the morning once I've settled the kids in the orphanage . "
"Of course! Which hospital is it? I'll go over now . " Xuxu was already descending the stairs .

"Xuxu, what happened?" Grandfather Wen yelled from the back, he sounded worried .
"Grandfather, don't worry . Something urgent must have come up at the orphanage . I'll accompany her . " Jiang Zhuoheng assured the old man and rushed after Xuxu .
Xuxu had already walked over to where she last parked her car when Jiang Zhuoheng caught up with her . "Did something happen to the orphanage?"
Xuxu replied, "Matron Huang said that Huanhuan has chickenpox and she is running a high fever . She is being transferred to a hospital in the city and asked me to take care of her tonight . "
When Ah Heng heard of Huanhuan's condition he became worried . "Then I'll go with you . Let's hurry," he said and opened the back door of the car . "I'll drive . "
Xuxu nodded and got in .

Jiang Zhuoheng started the engine and sped off .
Yan Rusheng had just reached the clinic in his black Mercedes when he spotted Xuxu's white Audi a distance away . His face fell immediately .
He took out his phone and was about to phone Xuxu when it started ringing .
Xuxu was calling .
He waited for a few seconds before answering . "Hello, where are you?"
Xuxu spoke over the phone "Don't fetch me at the clinic . I'm on my way to the hospital for an emergency . Little Huanhuan is ill, her fever is high, and Matron Huang wanted me to look after her for the night . "
Little Huanhuan… Yan Rusheng recalled that little girl with curly hair from the orphanage .
Worry took over him when he heard the news . "I'll head over as well . "
"You should go home and rest . " Xuxu politely refused and continued, "You haven't rested much these few days . I'll be back tomorrow morning . "
Yan Rusheng understood that she was concerned for him but somehow he felt rather glum instead .
"Alright," he replied in a somber tone and hung up .
"Wen Xuxu, why do you always have to bump into Jiang Zhuoheng every time you visit your grandfather?"
All of Yan Rusheng's happiness evaporated into thin air in a matter of seconds when he saw how both Xuxu and Ah Heng got into the same vehicle and sped away . He initially thought that Xuxu would yet again be coaxing and dragging him to come up and have some fish soup with her grandfather when he arrived .
He rummaged for his cigarette case and started smoking which he hasn't done in a long time .
As he puffed some smoke out, he stared into the distance where the car had vanished . His eyebrows were furrowed tightly together .
…
The doctor helped Huanhuan to do a series of checkups to ensure that she was alright . The matron left after making sure that she was alright .
Huanhuan's fever began to subside after a nap . She got a pleasant surprise when she saw Wen Xuxu .
