Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Mu Tiantian smiled, feeling too heavy-hearted to speak.

Other people's affairs are none of her business, but she can't help but empathize with them.

Xia Guiying instructed Ling Jieyu to take good care of Mu Tiantian, and then she and Qin Dongyang pushed Old Master Qin back to the next ward.

Qin Dongyang took out the paternity test report that Ling Jieyu had given him and looked down at it.

Because of the death, Old Master Qin felt equally heavy-hearted when he thought of the day his wife died.

He urged Qin Dongyang, "Dongyang, take the paternity test report back with Aying, burn incense for your mother, and tell her the good news so she can rest easy over there."

Qin Dongyang nodded; he had been planning to do just that.

Before leaving, the two went to visit Mu Tiantian in the next ward one last time.

Mu Tiantian closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Ling Jieyu sat by the hospital bedside, keeping watch over him.

Ling Jieyu felt a little heavy-hearted because of the little girl's situation, and remained quiet without saying a word.

Qin Dongyang patted Ling Jieyu on the back and thoughtfully asked the nurse to prepare a cot for Ling Jieyu. He instructed, "Ayu, if you get tired of sitting, lie down and rest. Ruohan's condition is not serious, so you don't need to stay by her side every step of the way."

Ling Jieyu nodded, reassuring Qin Dongyang to go back without worry.

Qin Dongyang and his wife went back.

The performance downstairs in the inpatient building ended, the patients returned to their wards, and the hospital returned to quiet.

The little girl was wheeled into the hospital morgue.

The girl's mother cried until she fainted. Out of humanitarian considerations, the hospital examined her and determined that she was not in any danger, so they arranged a ward for her.

Back home, Qin Dongyang immediately went to his study, to his mother's memorial tablet, took out the paternity test report, and excitedly said, "Mom, Ruohan has been found. This time it's for real. Rest in peace!"

Then, he lit three incense sticks in front of the memorial tablet and said, "Mom, Ruohan is currently hospitalized with a fever and cannot come to pay her respects. I will take her to the cemetery to see you after she is discharged. In short, please don't worry about Ruohan anymore."

Xia Guiying stood to one side and said something similar.

The two took a shower and lay down, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what they did.

I'm always worried about my daughter in the hospital.

In the end, he put on his clothes and had the driver take him to the hospital.

Mu Tiantian, who was in the hospital, developed a high fever again.

He kept muttering, "Don't die, don't die."

Ling Jieyu originally wanted to lie down on the cot for a while, but was woken up by Mu Tiantian's murmuring.

He guessed that Mu Tiantian's murmured "Don't die" must have been about that little girl.

I never imagined that a little girl I had just met would have such a big impact on her.

He touched Mu Tiantian's forehead; it was even hotter than the first night. He quickly went to find the doctor on duty.

The on-duty doctor examined Mu Tiantian but couldn't find anything wrong. He then gave Mu Tiantian an IV drip to reduce her fever.

Fearing something might happen to Mu Tiantian, Ling Jieyu washed his face, forced himself to stay by her bedside.

Seeing that Mu Tiantian's brows were furrowed too tightly, he couldn't help but reach out to smooth them.

Mu Tiantian sensed something ahead and grabbed Ling Jieyu's hand.

"Don't die, everyone stay alive!"

All she dreamed about were the dead.

There are little girls from the South City Hospital and the East City area.

I also dreamed about the fire at the orphanage, especially the scene where Fu Zhengting was carried out with his head covered in blood; that scene was so heartbreaking.

She was terrified that Fu Zhengting would also die, and that she would never see him again once she left this world.

The more afraid you are, the tighter you hold on.

Ling Jieyu wanted to pull his hand back, but it wasn't easy for him to do so.

Let Mu Tiantian hold it.

Mu Tiantian felt that she was less afraid only when she was holding onto something.

Ling Jieyu didn't turn off the bathroom light. The dim light shone through, and as he looked at Mu Tiantian's uneasy face, the image of him singing a song with Mu Tiantian downstairs not long ago replayed in his mind. He felt a strange and awkward feeling in his heart.

When Qin Dongyang and his wife arrived at the hospital and entered the ward, they saw that Mu Tiantian was so unwell. After asking Ling Jieyu, they learned that Mu Tiantian had a high fever again.

Hearing Mu Tiantian murmur "Don't die," I knew she must have been affected by the little girl who died.

Xia Guiying remembered the previous legend and was afraid that the little girl had died unwillingly and that her ghost would haunt Mu Tiantian, so she dragged Qin Dongyang to the morgue to pray.

While praying, she kept silently telling the little girl not to bother her daughter.

Qin Dongyang comforted her, "That little girl is so sensible and kind, I believe she won't do it."

Xia Guiying was still very worried.

The two returned to the ward and stayed with Ling Jieyu.

Xia Guiying would touch Mu Tiantian's forehead from time to time, but there was no sign of the fever going down, so she would wet a towel and apply it to Mu Tiantian's forehead.

It wasn't until late at night that Mu Tiantian stopped murmuring.

However, the high fever persisted.

After the IV drip was finished, it was already dawn, but the fever was still terrifying.

Qin Dongyang lost all interest in going to work and stayed at the hospital to take care of the patient.

He sent Ling Jieyu to work.

Old Ling retired early and stopped managing the company; the Ling Group can't function without A Yu in charge.

Ling Jieyu rushed back to Nancheng, took a shower, and then went to the company.

-

Mu Tiantian had a fever for three days before it subsided.

Even after her fever subsided, she was so exhausted that she couldn't even get out of bed, and she dreamed about the little girl almost every day.

I was scared at first, but I wasn't scared anymore.

More than anything, I feel sorry for them.

She knew the little girl wouldn't hurt her.

It took half a month of hospitalization for him to fully recover.

Grandpa Qin recovered and was discharged from the hospital with her.

Her foot injury healed, and she finally returned to her previous agile state.

To put their minds at ease, Qin Dongyang and Xia Guiying accompanied Mu Tiantian for a full body checkup.

The results came back in the afternoon, and all the tests came back normal, so the couple were discharged from the hospital.

When Mu Tiantian arrived at the lobby on the first floor, she ran into the little girl's mother.

In just half a month, the girl's mother lost a lot of weight.

She greeted him with a smile.

The girl's mother smiled politely at her, but her smile looked like she was sad.

Mu Tiantian remembered the little girl in her dream and comforted the girl's mother, "Auntie, I dreamed about your daughter. She asked me to tell you that you must live a good life and that she will watch over you from heaven."

The girl's mother's eyes reddened again.

I've cried all my tears in the past two weeks.

She was very grateful for Mu Tiantian's kindness. "Thank you, thank you for singing for my daughter, and thank you for paying the remaining medical expenses."

She tried to kneel down before Mu Tiantian, but Mu Tiantian stopped her.

Seeing the girl's mother's weak and haggard appearance, Mu Tiantian was afraid that the woman might do something drastic and commit suicide, so she reminded her, "If you really want to thank me, then live well."

The girl's mother nodded solemnly, "I definitely will."

As Mu Tiantian left the hospital with her parents and grandfather, she saw that Ling Jieyu had already arrived, holding a bouquet of flowers and standing in front of the car, as if waiting for her.
