Shen Qinghan hugged her daughter tightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "I'm sorry... Xinyu, I'm so sorry, Mommy didn't mean it, Mommy was just too anxious..."

Holding her feverish daughter, Shen Qinghan's mind was suddenly flooded with uncontrollable images from the past.

Shen Xinyu was physically weak when she was a child and often had a fever in the middle of the night.

But back then, Shen Qinghan had never been as devastated as she was now.

Jiang Ye is always the first to rush into the room whenever his daughter makes a sound.

Jiang Ye skillfully uses warm water to wipe his daughter's body to lower her fever; he mixes fever-reducing medicine into sweet juice and coaxes his daughter to drink it like magic; he holds his daughter and walks around the living room all night, humming nursery rhymes softly until his daughter falls asleep peacefully.

What was Shen Qinghan doing at that time?

She simply rolled over in annoyance, muttered "So noisy," then put on her earplugs and went back to sleep. Jiang Ye would always gently tell her, "Qinghan, you have to go to the company tomorrow, get some rest. I'll take care of things here."

Even today, she is still facing her daughter's high fever all by herself.

Shen Qinghan suddenly realized what was happening.

It turns out that taking care of a sick child is so torturous and so devastating!

Looking back now, how many times did Jiang Ye shoulder all the burdens for Shen Xinyu when she was a child, and how many all-nighters did he stay up? How difficult it must have been for him!

However, the man who had taken such good care of her and her daughter had been driven away by her own hands.

"Waaaaah..."

Shen Qinghan held her daughter and cried even more bitterly than her daughter.

She found herself completely unable to handle the situation.

Left with no other choice, she picked up her phone and dialed her mother, Ou Yuqin's, number.

. . . . .

After half an hour.

Wearing a coat, Ou Yuqin hurriedly arrived at the villa.

"Oh dear, my darling granddaughter! How did she get so burned?"

Looking at Shen Xinyu, who was delirious with fever, Ou Yuqin felt heartbroken and tears streamed down her face.

However, Ou Yuqin was usually a pampered and wealthy woman with a maid at home, so she was at a loss when it came to this situation.

After trying everything—physical cooling methods, fever-reducing patches—Shen Xinyu's temperature just wouldn't come down, and she started talking nonsense instead.

"No, this is burning too high, we have to think of something quickly!"

Ou Yuqin was pacing anxiously. Suddenly, she slapped her thigh, "I'll call Jiang Ye! He has the most experience taking care of Xinyu before, he'll definitely know what to do!"

Upon hearing the name Jiang Ye, Shen Qinghan's expression changed.

"Mom! Don't hit her!"

Shen Qinghan instinctively tried to stop her, "We're already divorced, why are you still looking for him! We can just take Xinyu to the hospital now!"

"Why take the child to the hospital! It's the middle of the night, and the hospital is full of viruses. What if they get cross-infected!"

Ou Yuqin shoved Shen Qinghan's hand away, glaring at her angrily. "What kind of time is this to be so stubborn about saving face! Xinyu is his own flesh and blood, how can he not care?!"

After saying that, Ou Yuqin dialed Jiang Ye's number without hesitation.

The phone rang three times before being answered.

"Feed".

On the other end of the phone came Jiang Ye's calm and deep voice.

"Ono! I'm Mom... oh no, I'm your Aunt Ou!"

Ou Yuqin instinctively wanted to call herself "Mom," but the words caught in her throat, and she changed them abruptly, her tone revealing a hint of embarrassment and anxiety.

"Aunt Ou, it's so late, is there anything I can help you with?"

Jiang Ye's attitude was very good, his voice was gentle, and there was not a single fault with him.

After all, during those seven years in the Shen family, although Shen Qinghan was cold to him, the old lady Zhao Yulan treated him very well, and his parents-in-law Ou Yuqin and Shen Zhennan were actually quite good to him, at least they didn't embarrass him too much in public.

Jiang Ye is a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. He hates Shen Qinghan, but he still maintains the proper politeness and respect towards Ou Yuqin.

"Xiao Ye, Xin Yu has a high fever! It's reached 39.5 degrees Celsius! The fever reducer isn't working, and she keeps crying. Auntie really doesn't know what to do..." Ou Yuqin's voice was trembling with anxiety.

Jiang Ye's heart tightened slightly when he heard that his daughter had a fever.

But he quickly suppressed the impulse, and his tone remained calm and polite.

"Aunt Ou, please don't worry."

"When Xinyu had a fever before, if it was a sudden high fever, it was usually viral. First, check if her palms and soles are sweating. If they aren't sweating, don't cover her up; loosen her clothes to let her cool down."

"If she's taking ibuprofen as a fever reducer, she shouldn't take it again if the interval between doses isn't long enough. Go to the kitchen, cut a few slices of ginger, soak them in warm water, and use them to wipe the large blood vessels under her armpits, in her groin, and on both sides of her neck. This will help lower her temperature faster."

"If the body temperature still doesn't come down after wiping for half an hour, or if symptoms of seizures occur, don't do anything else, call 120 immediately and take the patient to the hospital."

On the phone, Jiang Ye patiently and step by step taught Ou Yuqin how to deal with a fever.

As Ou Yuqin listened, she nodded repeatedly, but tears kept streaming down her face.

What a wonderful child!

Even after the divorce, even after being heartbroken, when she heard that her child was sick, she could still calmly and meticulously teach her how to handle the situation.

"Okay, okay, Auntie will remember..."

Ou Yuqin wiped away her tears, listening to the faint sound of wind coming from the other end of the phone, and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ye, where are you now?"

Jiang Ye stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Blue Amber Inn, looking at the moonlight outside, and smiled faintly.

"I didn't go anywhere, just came out for a walk and to relax."

"Going out for a walk would be good..." Ou Yuqin's voice choked with emotion. "You really need to go out and clear your head. You've suffered so much in the Shen family all these years..."

"Aunt Ou, it's all over now. You should go and take care of Xinyu. If anything happens, go to the hospital immediately."

Jiang Ye didn't say anything more and politely said goodbye.

"beep--"

The phone hangs up.

Holding her phone, Ou Yuqin stood outside the children's room, her eyes completely red.

Shen Qinghan stood aside, watching his mother's heartbroken and tearful appearance, feeling a surge of irritation and unease.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Shen Qinghan bit her lip, asking somewhat guiltily, "Jiang Ye...did he say bad things about me on the phone again? Is he ignoring Xinyu?"

Ou Yuqin turned her head sharply and glared at Shen Qinghan, her eyes filled with disappointment, anger, and deep heartache.

"Speaking ill of you? Do you think everyone is as narrow-minded as you?!"

Ou Yuqin pointed at Shen Qinghan's nose, suppressing her anger as she cursed, "Xiao Ye didn't mention a single thing you did wrong on the phone! He meticulously taught me how to cool Xinyu down and how to clean her body!"

"Qinghan, Qinghan, what kind of lard has blinded you?!"

Ou Yuqin was heartbroken. "Jiang Ye is so good to you! He's good to you, good to Shen Xinyu, and takes such good care of this family! You just wouldn't listen to my advice and insisted on getting a divorce!"

"Do you know how much it hurt me when he called me 'Aunt Ou' just now?!"

Ou Yuqin couldn't stop her tears from flowing. "Before, when Xiao Ye was with us, he called me 'Mom' so affectionately, what a filial child he was! And now? He calls me 'Auntie'! He's completely estranged from the Shen family!"

"And what about you?!" Ou Yuqin grew angrier as she spoke. "You had such a good man out of your reach, and you insisted on getting involved with that liar Gu Ziming! Now you're even pregnant with that other man's child!"

"Shen Qinghan, you'll regret this sooner or later! You definitely will!"
