Chapter 70 Fever
chapter 70
Meng Youcheng suddenly became somewhat flustered...
He quickly pulled over the blanket next to him and spread it over Jiang Yuming, then looked for a thermometer...
He slipped the thermometer under the boy's armpit, then stood guard beside him, calling out several times, "Jiang Yuming...! Jiang Yuming...!"
The boy remained unconscious, as if he had fallen into a coma, murmuring, "Cold...I'm so cold...!"
The man became even more anxious...
He gently nudged him, but the boy remained unchanged, his trembling growing more and more violent...
Five minutes later, Meng Youcheng hurriedly took out the thermometer, glanced at it...
39.8 degrees?
Holy crap...
Why is it burning so badly?
It was one o'clock in the morning. He looked around and realized he didn't have any fever reducers at home, and the pharmacy was far away; it might already be closed...
After much thought...
He hurriedly opened the door, rushed out, and arrived at Xia Chunian's door. He hesitated for a moment before knocking...
"Chunian...Chunian! Wake up! Open the door...!"
I knocked for more than two minutes...
The girl inside finally called out, "Coming...!"
Xia Chunian opened the door, squinted, and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong, brother?"
Meng Youcheng said anxiously, "Jiang Yuming has a fever, and he won't wake up no matter what I do. Do you have any fever reducers? Could you give me one?"
The girl then woke up from her sleep. "You have a fever? I... I have some fever reducer, wait a moment, I'll get it for you..."
A few minutes later, the girl gave Meng Youcheng the fever reducer. "Is your fever very high?"
The man took the fever reducer and ran back, saying, "Thank you, sorry to have disturbed your rest..."
He ran back to his room and stood before Jiang Yuming...
"Jiang Yuming...! Jiang Yuming...!"
This time, the man pushed him with slightly more force...
The boy opened his eyes groggily, his gaze weary. He looked at the man before him and uttered a few words from his parched lips, "Uncle... I feel unwell..."
"It's okay..."
Seeing that he was awake, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief. He gently stroked the boy's cheek. "It's alright, Uncle knows. Get up and take your fever reducer, you'll be fine soon..."
The boy swallowed hard, his eyes showing even more weariness. "Uncle, I feel so awful right now. I'm so cold all over... Am I...?"
Meng Youcheng interrupted him, "It's okay, take your medicine first, take the fever reducer, and you'll be fine after a nap. Come on... take your medicine first..."
The man fed him the medicine, poured him a glass of water, and helped him sit up to drink it.
After watching him swallow the pills, I carefully put him down...
Meng Youcheng gently patted the boy's chest and said in an extremely gentle tone, "Alright, go to sleep and you'll be fine when you wake up. Be good."
Jiang Yuming's eyelids were heavy. He looked at the man in front of him with a dazed expression and weakly called out, "Uncle..."
Then he closed his eyes.
Meng Youcheng gently touched his cheek. His skin wasn't very fair, and it felt nice to the touch. His cheeks were flushed, like red apples, and very hot, as he had a fever.
Ugh……
It must be because of the wind last night.
I didn't expect my physical condition to be so poor...?
Ugh……
The man didn't turn off the light, nor did he go back to sleep; he stayed by his side...
He will only feel at ease once his temperature is taken and it goes down.
I should be fine after taking fever reducer, right?
Meng Youcheng gently rubbed his face with his thumb...
brat...
Does this mean I'm really like his father?
Ugh……
Time ticked by, and half an hour later, Meng Youcheng found the thermometer and placed it back under the boy's armpit...
Five minutes later, he took out the thermometer and was immediately stunned...
40 degrees Celsius, it didn't drop but rose instead...
What's going on?
Has the medicine taken effect yet?
That shouldn't be the case. Even if the medication hasn't taken effect yet, it shouldn't raise the level, right?
Meng Youcheng froze for a few seconds, then nudged the boy again, "Jiang Yuming...! Jiang Yuming...! Wake up...!"
Jiang Yuming's heavy eyelids twitched again. He opened his eyes groggily, "Uncle, I... I feel so bad... I feel so unwell, am I... going to die?"
His tone was weak and feeble; he could barely utter a sound.
The man became anxious, but still reassured her, "No... don't worry, I'm here. Nothing will happen to you. Don't sleep yet, don't sleep yet..."
Jiang Yuming stared wide-eyed, his eyes brimming with tears, as he looked at the person before him with anguish...
"Uncle, I feel so bad... Am I going to die? Why does my body feel so uncomfortable?"
Tears streamed down her face, accompanied by a series of sobbing sounds...
"Uncle, I feel so bad..."
It's 2 a.m. now, some hospitals should still be open. Given the boy's condition, he definitely needs to go to the hospital...
The nearest hospital is also quite far from here...
Meng Youcheng first took out his phone and ordered a taxi...
He stood up and pulled the blanket off the boy. "Yuming... Uncle will take you to the hospital, okay?"
"Come on... I'll carry you on my back..."
The man was just about to help him up...
Jiang Yuming continued crying, "Uncle, I feel so bad... Am I going to die?"
Meng Youcheng gently wiped away the tears on his cheeks, and finally, gently stroked his cheek, "No, Uncle, let's go to the hospital now, we'll see a doctor, you'll get better soon..."
He helped the boy up. "Uncle, I'll carry you to the hospital. Hold on tight, okay?"
Jiang Yuming got up listlessly...
He seemed to be using all his strength to hug the man's neck tightly...
Meng Youcheng stood up with his back to him...
Jiang Yuming was heavier than him, and he almost lost his balance and collapsed, but he seemed to have managed to stay upright...
He hurriedly carried him out of the room...
He hurriedly walked outside...
The sound is a bit noisy...
The man carried him on his back, saying as they walked, "Jiang Yuming... don't fall asleep yet. Get up and talk to your uncle for a while. Whatever you do, don't fall asleep, okay?"
"Uncle... I feel unwell, I'm so sleepy..."
"Don't sleep, please don't fall asleep. Talk to your uncle for a while. Uncle will go with you to the hospital now..."
Xia Chunian forcefully opened the door and looked at Meng Youcheng coming downstairs. "Where are you going, brother?"
"His fever won't go down, I have to take him to the hospital..."
Xia Chunian hesitated for a few seconds, then quickly ran home, "I'm going too...!"
The man ignored her, walked down the stairs, and continued speaking gently, "Jiang Yuming...didn't you say your brother is amazing? Tell me, how is he amazing? Don't fall asleep, chat with me for a while..."
To be honest, Meng Youcheng was really panicking at this moment...
He had a fever of 40 degrees Celsius. In his 30s, Meng Youcheng's highest body temperature was only a little over 39 degrees Celsius...
Moreover, the boy on his back clearly had a rising body temperature...
We need to take him to the hospital right away!
Jiang Yuming forced out a few words, "Uncle...it hurts so much..."
Meng Youcheng said a lot, but the boy didn't reply...
He fell asleep.
The man wanted to wake him up because he was a little scared, afraid that if he fell asleep, he wouldn't wake up...
Just like his sister in the ICU.
but……
He was probably too tired and needed to replenish his energy.
The man got into the taxi and was just about to close the door when Xia Chunian rushed in...
The girl caught her breath. "How can you walk so fast while carrying a grown person on your back?"
Meng Youcheng looked at her, puzzled. "Why are you here?"
The girl's clothes were a little disheveled. She took a few breaths, closed the car door, and said, "I'm worried about him. I have to go with you to take him to the hospital. See if there's anything I can do to help!"
"you……?"
Xia Chunian waved her hand, "No need to thank me, driver, hurry up and drive!"
……
After more than ten minutes, we finally arrived at a small clinic.
This is what the taxi driver said. He said the big hospitals are too far away, but he happens to know a small clinic nearby that's open at night, and the doctor there is very skilled...
Meng Youcheng carried Jiang Yuming out of the car, and Xia Chulian, who was standing nearby, quickly offered a helping hand, "Be careful..."
They arrived at the clinic...
The doctor in the white coat glanced at them and quickly went to help, asking, "What happened?"
Meng Youcheng carried the boy on his back. "He has a fever, a high fever that won't go down..."
"Did you take any fever-reducing medication?"
"After taking the medicine, my body temperature didn't go down; it actually went up."
The doctor guided them to place the boy on the bed...
The doctor took out a thermometer and measured the temperature. "Forty-two degrees?"
"What?!"
……
At seven o'clock in the morning, after a busy night, things finally settled down...
Actually, Jiang Yuming didn't have a severe cold this time; it was more like a common cold. But the doctor said that the boy had probably been taking medication for a long time before…
Therefore, ordinary medicine doesn't have much effect on him...
After trying several different medications, receiving a fever-reducing injection, and spending the entire night on an IV drip, the fever finally subsided...
Meng Youcheng and Xia Chunian stayed by the side the whole time, helping the doctor with his work. Neither of them had closed their eyes for a moment...
The doctor told the man, "He should wake up in a little while. Could one of you go buy some breakfast? He'll definitely be hungry..."
Meng Youcheng was just about to get up...
The girl patted his shoulder, "I'll go buy it, you stay here and watch over him..."
"Thank you for your help."
"fine……"
Meng Youcheng sat down, his eyes a little sore. He took off his glasses and gently rubbed them...
"Uncle...?"
