Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The family doctor received a call and rushed to the Shen residence, accompanied by two female nurses.
The scene was quite imposing.
After a busy round of work, the condition finally stabilized at midnight.
“The temperature has dropped, and if there is no relapse, there should be no major issues after tonight.”
Yang Lan looked exhausted, and upon hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to let go of her worries.
“Shen Yan was perfectly fine during the day, why did she suddenly develop a fever?”
“It could be due to a cold or other reasons. We cannot determine it for now. I suggest you wait until the Second Lady wakes up and ask her personally.”
Yang Lan nodded and called for Steward Zhou, “Arrange a car to take Dr. Zhang and the others back.”
“Yes. Please, this way, three of you…”
Yang Lan turned and went upstairs, looking at her daughter’s flushed cheeks and chapped lips. She sat on the edge of the bed, silently shedding tears.
“Mom.” Shen Qian pushed the door open. “How is Shen Yan?”
“She just got her fever down.”
“You’ve been busy for so long, have some water.” He handed her a glass. “Everything will be fine.”
Her son’s gentle words and considerate actions warmed Yang Lan’s heart, but her brows remained furrowed. “She was fine just now, how did it turn into this? She kept saying nonsense earlier, asking not to come close, to go away… Could she have been frightened by something?”
Shen Qian’s eyes dimmed. “It was just a dream, don’t think too much.”
“That’s true… Your sister is used to making a fuss, she’s not timid, and it happened at home with so many servants around. What could have frightened her?”
Shen Qian didn’t respond, instead, he tried to reassure. “Mom, you should go back to your room and rest.”
Yang Lan waved her hand. “I can’t leave here.”
“I’ll keep an eye on things.”
“You?” Yang Lan was surprised for a moment. She knew her son well; he was usually calm and restrained to the extreme, and it was rare for anyone or anything to affect his emotions. But now…
Shen Qian’s expression remained unchanged, and he spoke in his usual tone, “Is there a problem?”
“No… Mom is just worried that you’re too tired. There has been one problem after another in Tianshui recently, and you’ve been running around, refusing to ask your father for help. I’ve seen it all. Fortunately, your sister just has a fever, and it’s not a big deal. I can handle it on my own.”
Shen Qian wanted to say something, but Yang Lan had already turned away and picked up a cotton swab, moistening Shen Yan’s chapped lips.
“…Alright, I’ll go to sleep first.”
“Okay.”
In the middle of the night, Shen Yan’s fever flared up again, and her forehead was scorching hot.
Yang Lan quickly called Dr. Zhang, but by the time he and the nurses rushed over, twenty minutes had already passed.
At three in the morning, the lights were still on in the Shen household, and it was quite chaotic.
Shen Wan, in her sleep, heard the commotion but paid no attention, rolling over to continue her slumber.
In the early morning, as dawn approached, Dr. Zhang and the two nurses, looking exhausted, left the Shen residence amidst the morning mist and dew.
Second-floor bedroom.
Shen Yan had already awakened, sitting up at the edge of the bed, looking weak and pale.
Yang Lan entered the room carrying a glass of water. “Here, have some…” she said, holding the glass to Shen Yan’s lips and tilting it gently.
Shen Yan didn’t need to lift a finger; she just opened her mouth.
“Is it enough?” Yang Lan asked gently, wiping away the residual water stains at the corner of her mouth with her fingertip.
“It’s enough.”
“That’s good…”
“Mom,” Shen Yan suddenly spoke, “I hate Shen Wan.”
“I know…”
“No! How could you possibly know?”
“Xiao Yan, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare mommy!”
“I want Shen Wan daead!” She clenched the blanket tightly, her eyes filled with deep hatred.
Yang Lan was startled by her reaction and placed the glass down, hurriedly embracing her. “Did you have a nightmare? Don’t be afraid, it’s all fake, mommy’s here…”
Fake?
She actually thought it was fake?!
Shen Yan’s pupils contracted, and suddenly, in her mind, she heard…
“Who would believe that? Do you have any evidence? But I do, Qizichen saw you lay hands on me with his own eyes. Do you want me to invite him as a witness?”
The words echoed like a curse.
“Mom, you don’t even believe me?!” She pushed away from Yang Lan’s embrace, her eyes filled with shock and anger, her tone sharp.
Yang Lan was momentarily stunned, tears welled up in her eyes, “Mommy believes you, Xiao Yan, I believe anything you say.”
“Really?” Shen Yan instantly calmed down, “Then if I say Shen Wan is a despicable person, would you believe me?”
Yang Lan’s gaze was filled with resentment. “With a mother like her, she can’t be a good person! A despicable person’s daughter, what else could she be?”
“She seduced Brother Qi and even talked about getting someone to rape me!”
Yang Lan’s face turned pale.. “I’ll go find her right away!”
