sleepless tonight

Chapter 23
Wrapping Chen Le tightly, I put on a random dress and went out.

"Xiao Le." As I walked, I called Xiao Le's name.

Chen Le didn't react at all, he couldn't even open his eyelids, he couldn't stop coughing, I wondered if Xiao Le's lungs would come out if he coughed again.

The elevator stayed on the seventh floor and didn't move. I waited for half a minute and saw that the elevator was still there. I finally lost my patience, turned around with Chen Le in my arms, and walked to the next stairs.

The pace is fast.

My chest was burning violently, my legs were weak, but I didn't dare to stop, I was afraid, I was afraid that Chen Le in my arms would go wrong, and I was afraid that Chen Le's condition would be delayed.

In the dim aisle lights, I turned a corner and coughed violently. The light yellow lights came on one by one, and my heart was trembling.

The aisle on the first floor is full of furniture and some odds and ends of daily necessities. Someone is moving.

I stepped over a few plastic buckets, walked a little too fast, tripped my foot, staggered and fell down.

I held Chen Le tightly in my arms with both hands, and pressed Chen Le against my chest with my head shrunk.

The sharp pain came from my head, my head seemed to be scratched, my arm hit the ground, touched the furniture, and the bones almost shattered.

"You don't have eyes when you walk, don't you see so many things on the ground?" The elevator door opened, and a woman shouted at me, exasperated.

I looked back at the woman with cold eyes.

The woman froze for a moment, said nothing, lowered her head and continued to move things.

I hailed a taxi, and I went to the city's first hospital.

Originally, I didn't expect to go to the No. [-] Hospital in the city. Chen Le got an injection here, but not only did it not recover at night, but it got worse. This made me doubt the doctor's level.

But Yi Hospital is the best hospital in the city, so I have no choice.

"Doctor, doctor, hello, my daughter is sick and has been coughing. I got an injection here in the morning, but she hasn't recovered since I went back." When I first entered the hospital, I looked around, but I didn't see the doctor in the morning. I ran to the registration place, and while speaking, I showed Chen Le's face for the doctor to see.

I repeated these words dozens of times in the taxi.

"I'll call you to the emergency department." The doctor glanced at Chen Le, and his face became serious, "Is the child coughing all the time? He also coughed after getting the injection?"

"Well, I kept coughing and never stopped. I called her in the morning, and she could still respond. Now I call her, but she doesn't have the strength to respond, and she hasn't eaten much all day." I said anxiously.

"Wait a minute, I'll call for someone, don't worry, the more anxious you become, the more chaotic you will become." After understanding the situation, the doctor comforted me.

Then the doctor made another call.

As I listened, he was calling another doctor to come to the hospital.

"Wait for a quarter of an hour, Director Wang will be here soon." The doctor told me.

"Okay, okay." I nodded repeatedly and kept looking at the door.

About ten minutes later, a woman in her 40s walked into the hall, saw me at a glance, and walked towards me.

"How old is the child?" The woman looked at Chen Le, then looked up at me, "She got an injection in the morning, and she is still the same after going back?"

"I'm over a year old, um, I haven't recovered yet. The doctor told me in the morning that I need three injections, but after only one injection, I became like this." I know, this woman should be Director Wang.

"The doctor is right, three injections are enough for a normal situation." Director Wang said, "However, your situation is different, it is more serious, and it may turn into pneumonia, so it is still the same after one injection. "

"Pneumonia?" I was in a bad mood, and my voice started to shake.

"In this way, since the inspection has been done in the morning, there is no need to do so many projects now, just do two or three necessary projects, and the child can't delay in this situation." Director Wang told me.

"Okay, okay." I nodded repeatedly.

Director Wang arranged someone for me to take me and inspect Chen Le. After getting the inspection report as quickly as possible, I found Director Wang.

This time, she has also changed into a white coat.

"The situation is a little serious, but you came in time, and it will take another day or two. Even if it is cured, there will be sequelae." Director Wang told me, "I will write you an order. The child needs an infusion."

Director Wang looked at me and said, "By the way, clean and bandage the wound on your head. It's normal for parents to be worried when the child is sick, but you should also pay attention. What will happen to the child if something happens to you?"

"Okay, okay." I took the form and ran downstairs to the infusion room.

The medicine was changed, which was different from the one prescribed in the morning. It was so late, and there were still people in the infusion room, but it was much less than during the day.

"Change your hand." The nurse picked up Chen Le's palm, saw the needle holes and bruises on it, and said to me.

I nodded and took Chen Le's other arm out of the down jacket.

Holding Chen Le, looking at her sickly appearance, thinking that she has only drank a little breast milk all day, she must be hungry now, but I can't drink milk, I feel so ashamed.

The nurse came over to clean the wound on my forehead, I raised my lower eyelids and waved my hands.

I don't want to do anything now, I just want to be by Chen Le's side, I have lost the interest in doing anything, including treating my own wounds, the support of my whole body seems to have collapsed.

"Dad." Someone called me.

Chen Ke ran over from the door.

"Why did you come here? Didn't I tell you to sleep at home?" I was terrified. On such a long road, with cars passing by on the road, Chen Ke actually ran out alone.

Chen Le is ill, and if something happens to Chen Ke, I really dare not think about it.

Chen Ke seemed to be frightened by me, stood there, looked at me wronged, his eyes were red.

"Why are you yelling at the child? I brought her here." Tong Wangjun walked in, took Chen Ke's hand, walked beside me, looked at Xiao Le in my arms, his eyes were a little red.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I called Mom." Chen Ke looked at me timidly as if he had done something wrong.

The look in her eyes hurt me.

Thinking about it carefully, in the past few days, I have not cared much about Chen Ke. Although she has gone to school, she is only eight years old. to buy.

At such a young age, she helped wash the vegetables and dishes, and her little hands were flushed from the cold.

"It's okay to follow mom, but you're not allowed to come out alone, you know?" I grabbed Chen Ke's hand and tested the temperature, "Is it cold?"

"It's not cold. Mom picked me up in the car. There is a heater in the car. It's very warm. I'm not cold." Chen Ke said.

I glanced sideways at the door, but saw no one, so I raised my head and said to Tong Wangjun, "He went to buy milk tea again?"

"He didn't come." Tong Wangjun stared at me, "Chen Jin, tell me honestly, why did Xiao Le catch a cold like this?"

"When you catch a cold, you catch a cold." I dare not look at her.

"Chen Jin!" Tong Wangjun suppressed his anger, "Now you still want to lie to me, Xiao Le catches a cold because you took her to the Tianqiao stall to sell insoles, and the cold wind blows her, so she doesn't catch a cold?"

I was silent.

Chen Ke lowered her head: "Dad, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

"Don't apologize to him, he doesn't deserve to be your father at all." Tong Wangjun put his arms around Chen Ke and looked at me, "Chen Jin, if Ah Ke hadn't called me this time, I wouldn't have asked her, I wouldn't have asked her." Knowing that you can be so cruel, Xiao Le is only over one year old, so you take her to set up a stall."

"I dressed her in a lot of clothes, and wrapped her in a down jacket." I said.

"Are you out of your mind?" Tong Wangjun pointed at me, "How old is she? You might catch a cold in the house even with the air conditioner on, let alone going outside?"

"Why am I out of my mind, I have to live, how can I make money if I don't set up a stall?" I couldn't help but reply, "You just love Xiao Le, I'm her father, don't I feel sorry for her? her?"

"Life, life, is that your life? I really doubt that Xiao Le is your own. He doesn't use his brain when doing things. Can't you be a little bit more angry and think a little bit for your daughter and your family?" Tong Wangjun still didn't give up.

Her words made me very blocked and very unconvinced.

I'm working hard, why didn't I work hard?
It seems that in Tong Wangjun's eyes, if you work hard, you will succeed.

She didn't understand my difficulties at all, and I didn't want to argue with her anymore, so I kept silent.

"Leave the child to me to raise." Tong Wangjun said suddenly.
