Xia Weiyang closed the door and watched Shi Jue. She then grabbed a chair and sat down by the bed.
While watching Shi Jue, Xia Weiyang suddenly remembered the car accident that happened three years ago.
Xia Weiyang thought that Shi Jue's current condition was much more serious than last time.
Clear signs of his skin's dryness could be seen on his pale face.
Xia Weiyang could not help but stretch out her slender hand and gently caress Shi Jue's face.
She then gathered her thoughts and looked deeply at Shi Jue.
"What do you think I should do? Should I try my best to replace the woman in your heart, or should I completely give up on you?" Xia Weiyang muttered to herself and then sighed. "I'm not sure if I can replace that woman, but giving up without a fight is not in my nature."
As she sat by the bed, Xia Weiyang continued to talk to Shi Jue.
Although he was asleep, she still continued talking to him.
Suddenly, Xia Weiyang noticed that Shi Jue's face was abnormally red. She then placed her hand on his forehead. It felt slightly warm. It was obvious that he was having a fever.
She immediately remembered what the doctor said to Xiao Er.
Xia Weiyang got up and went into the bathroom. She poured warm water into a basin and took out a clean towel.
She placed the basin on the table beside the bed. She then soaked the towel in warm water, wrung it dry, and gently wiped it over Shi Jue's face.
After cleaning his face, Xia Weiyang washed Shi Jue's neck. She then lifted the blanket in order to clean his body. She was surprised to see that Shi Jue was naked under the blanket.
Xia Weiyang could not help but blush. A tinge of embarrassment crept into her heart.
While holding up Shi Jue's arm, Xia Weiyang wiped his armpit properly. She then washed the rest of his body.
Xia Weiyang repeatedly washed Shi Jue's body with warm water until dawn. She remembered the doctor saying that washing the body with warm water from time to time would prevent the fever from worsening.
After a while, Xia Weiyang placed her hand on Shi Jue's forehead. She noticed that the fever had already subsided.
Suddenly, she yawned loudly. Her face was full of fatigue. She eventually fell asleep after laying her head on the bed.
Gradually, sunlight entered the room through the window.
Shi Jue slowly opened his eyes. After realizing that he was inside an unfamiliar room, he felt slightly startled.
Suddenly, he felt someone beside him.
As his eyes swept across the bed, he saw a head covered in black hair.
He immediately recognized the person resting on the bed.
It was Xia Weiyang.
A smile appeared on the corner of Shi Jue's lips. He reached out and gently stroked Xia Weiyang's hair. He immediately felt better after seeing her. His smile became wider after remembering the two kids he encountered the night before.
Suddenly, the bedroom door opened.
Du Du stretched out his little head and looked inside the room. Her eyes darted around before looking at her brother. "I don't see mother," she said.
Dian Dian looked back at Du Du. Then, he stretched out his hand and pushed Du Du into the room.
The sudden movement by the door immediately caught Shi Jue's attention.
As he saw his daughter's face, a wide smile appeared on Shi Jue's lips.
However, when he saw that Du Du was pushed by her brother, Shi Jue's face slightly darkened.
Dian Dian was indeed a naughty boy.
Shi Jue wanted to teach him a lesson about manners.
"Brother, you're bad!" Du Du turned around and glared at Dian Dian with her hands on her hips.
Dian Dian gazed at Du Du indifferently. He then sharply turned his head and looked at the bed.
In an instant, Shi Jue's eyes met his son's gaze.
Both stared at each other deeply.
