After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

She created a temporary card at the self-service machine, registered, and quickly ran to the door of consultation room number three to wait.

A few minutes later, Tuantuan's name popped up on the call number screen.

Seeing this, Aunt Liu quickly pushed open the door and went inside.

The doctor listened to Tuantuan's chest and back with a stethoscope for a while, and then looked at her throat with a tongue depressor.

"The tonsils are inflamed and there are rales when the lungs are auscultated."

The doctor took off his stethoscope and frowned.

"The persistent high fever is most likely a bacterial infection complicated by bronchitis. Let's get a blood test and a chest X-ray first. I'll prescribe an IV drip for her now; we need to bring her temperature down immediately."

While typing the medical record on the computer, the doctor asked without looking up, "Does your child have a history of drug allergies? Are they allergic to penicillin or cephalosporins?"

Aunt Liu stood there, stunned, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time.

"I'm asking you a question. Do you have any allergies?" The doctor stopped what he was doing and looked up at her.

"Doctor... I don't know." Aunt Liu swallowed. "I'm the family's nanny. I don't know what allergies the child usually has."

The doctor's expression changed, and his voice became stern: "Don't you know? Antibiotic allergies can be fatal! How can you just give them any old thing like that! Where are the child's parents? Call them right now to verify!"

The doctor tore off an informed consent form and slammed it on the table.

"Also, this child has a severe purulent infection, and the IV medication is a restricted antibiotic. This prescription must be signed by a guardian. If a caregiver can't sign it, who will be responsible if a medical accident occurs? Call your family immediately!"

Liu Ma's hands and feet were ice-cold from the doctor's scolding. She carried Tuan Tuan out of the examination room and placed him on a bench in the corridor.

She took out her phone and quickly dialed Su Qing's number.

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently busy..."

She tried calling twice, but the line was busy both times. Frustrated, Liu Ma stamped her feet and immediately transferred the call to her assistant, Xiao Li.

It rang seven or eight times before Xiao Li answered. The background noise was very loud; someone was speaking into a microphone.

"Aunt Liu, didn't I tell you? President Su is in a meeting!" Xiao Li's tone was very impatient.

"Assistant Li, I've brought Tuantuan to the emergency room at the People's Hospital. The doctor said her tonsils are inflamed and there are rales in her lungs; she needs antibiotics immediately."

"The doctor asked if the child was allergic to cephalosporins and penicillin, and informed consent forms were required for a relative's signature."

Aunt Liu finished speaking in one breath.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Xiao Li's hushed voice:

"Allergies? How would I know if she has allergies? President Su is currently presenting a PowerPoint presentation to the investors; this is her last chance to convince them to make the payment."

"If I rushed in at that moment and told her that she needed to sign papers for her child's medical treatment, and that this 500 million investment had fallen through, could she take responsibility for that?"

"The doctor won't prescribe any medicine!"

"Just tell the doctor there's no allergic reaction, and we'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong, okay? I'll tell President Su right after the meeting."

"Beep beep beep—" The call was abruptly disconnected.

Liu Ma stared at the black screen of her phone, trembling all over.

You think you can take responsibility if something goes wrong? That's a life at stake. If someone goes into shock, it doesn't matter who's responsible!

On the bench, Tuan Tuan's breathing became heavier and heavier, and her small body trembled from coughing.

Liu Ma was so anxious that her palms were sweating. She stood in the busy emergency room corridor, like an ant on a hot plate.

Unable to reach Su Qing, her assistant, Xiao Li, passed the buck back to her, saying that the doctor would not prescribe any medicine without her signature.

She thought for a moment, took out her phone, found Su Qing's mother Zhang Cuihua's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

Immediately, a noisy shuffling sound came through the receiver, the crisp sound of mahjong tiles hitting the table, mixed with the laughter of several middle-aged women.

"Hey, bam! I want three of a kind!" Zhang Cuihua's voice was loud, filled with the excitement of winning money. "Aunt Liu, what are you calling so late at night?"

"Grandma, Tuantuan has a high fever, 39.8 degrees Celsius. I brought her to the First People's Hospital emergency room. The doctor needs to give her antibiotics immediately!" Liu Ma shouted into the phone, covering the other half of her ear.

"You have a fever? If you have a fever, listen to the doctor. If you need injections, get injections; if you need medicine, take it."

Zhang Cuihua's tone was dismissive, as if she thought Liu Ma was making a mountain out of a molehill. "You could have just asked Su Qing about this. Why are you calling me?"

"President Su is in a meeting, we can't get through to him on the phone!" Aunt Liu explained anxiously.

"The doctor wants to prescribe antibiotics, but they're asking if my child is allergic to cephalosporins or penicillin. They also require a family member's signature, but I'm just a nanny and can't sign, so the doctor won't prescribe the medication!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Zhang Cuihua's impatient voice.

"Cephalexin? How would I know what she's allergic to? I don't take care of her every day, how would I know what medicine she's taking? Call Su Qing. Okay, okay, I'm on a winning streak, don't break my winning streak, bye!"

"Grandma, listen to me..."

"Beep beep beep—"

Hearing the busy tone on her phone, Liu's mother stood frozen in place, trembling with anger.

This is her maternal grandmother. Her granddaughter was burning up with fever and nearly fainting in the emergency room, but she didn't offer a single word of concern; all she could think about was winning or losing at the mahjong table.

Liu Ma gripped her phone tightly, turned to look at Tuan Tuan on the bench, whose face was flushed red from the fever and who was groaning with his eyes closed. She gritted her teeth.

The Su family is completely unreliable.

She looked down at her phone screen, her finger unconsciously swiping down the contacts list.

She scrolled through the numbers of water delivery, grocery delivery, and dry cleaning shops, and finally, her finger stopped on a name.

Lin Fan.

Looking at those two words, Liu Ma stood there, feeling a mix of emotions.

Ever since Lin Fan moved out of this house, Aunt Liu has kept his number in her phone.

When Lin Fan lived in this house before, although Su Qing was cold and sarcastic towards him, Lin Fan had a good temper and was very polite to her.

Most importantly, he takes care of everything at home, from major issues like water, electricity, and property management to minor matters like firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

Especially regarding matters concerning the Youth League.

Aunt Liu remembers clearly that there was a special first-aid kit in the storage cabinet on the second floor of the villa, which Lin Fan had personally prepared.

Lin Fan kept a variety of medicines on hand, including fever reducers, cough syrups, and allergy medications. He even wrote down the expiration dates of each medicine on the boxes with a marker.

Su Qing is always busy with company affairs, never lifting a finger to do housework, and doesn't even know where the salt shaker is in the kitchen.

She only knew how to spend a lot of money to buy the most expensive imported vitamins and probiotics, but when Tuantuan had a fever in the middle of the night and kicked off the blankets, it was always Lin Fan who stayed up all night, holding the child and walking around the living room to comfort her.

From birth until now, Lin Fan has been responsible for everything regarding which vaccines Tuan Tuan should receive, what fever level is considered high and requires antipyretics, and when it is necessary to go to the hospital.
