When Ye Wan saw her daughter lying in bed, her heart ached. She rushed to the bedside and reached out to feel her forehead. It was indeed burning hot. Ye Wan nervously held her daughter’s hand and cried out, "Tuan Tuan, Tuan Tuan, how are you?"
Ye Tuan Tuan slowly lifted her long eyelashes and said, "Mommy, you're here. I feel so uncomfortable."
"Let's go, Mommy will take you to the hospital." Ye Wan stood up, ready to carry her daughter away.
Gu Yun Ting, who had been ignored, immediately stopped her and said, "Jin Lan has already seen her and given her medicine. She needs a lot of rest now and should avoid drafts. Let her rest here."
"Mommy, sleepy." Ye Tuan Tuan said, then closed her eyes again, appearing very drowsy.
"Okay, you sleep, Mommy will watch over you." Ye Wan’s eyes were red. She was truly afraid. Every time her daughter fell ill, it felt like it was taking her life.
Her daughter had been frail since birth, and on several occasions when she was young, a minor illness had brought her to the brink of death. She had almost lost her.
Gu Yun Ting looked at Ye Wan’s distressed expression and felt a pang of regret for using this method to reunite them.
Yet, the thought of seeing her had grown wildly in his heart like weeds. If he couldn't see her again, he would truly go mad.
Ye Tuan Tuan soon fell asleep, her little face flushed, looking like she had a fever. But in reality, she wasn't sick. This was merely a scheme concocted by the father and daughter, who desperately wanted to be with Ye Wan.
Fortunately, Ye Wan was so shaken by her daughter's condition that she didn't suspect anything. All she wished for now was for her daughter to recover quickly.
After Ye Tuan Tuan fell asleep, Ye Wan kept touching her forehead. Since it was a feigned fever, Tuan Tuan's forehead quickly stopped being hot. Ye Wan, however, didn't realize it was fake. She only felt relieved, thinking her daughter's fever had broken after treatment.
She carefully released her daughter's hand and stood up, turning to meet a pair of deep, enchanting dark eyes. Gu Yun Ting had been standing behind her, gazing intently at her back, even if it was just a silhouette that he had longed for.
"Come out with me for a moment," Ye Wan said with a cold expression, and then walked out of the bedroom.
Gu Yun Ting followed her out. Once outside, Ye Wan angrily whispered, "How exactly did you take care of her? Why did she get sick? Do you know how weak her constitution is? A single illness could be life-threatening for her!"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I'll be more careful in the future, Wan'er. Please don't be angry." Gu Yun Ting reached out to pull her.
Ye Wan immediately shook him off, her face looking grim. "Don't touch me. Since she's fine, I'll be leaving now. You take care of her."
"Wan'er, don't go yet! I mean, Tuan Tuan will definitely look for her mother when she wakes up. If she doesn't see you, she'll surely cry." Gu Yun Ting knew that the only reason he could keep her now was their daughter. Although it was despicable, he had no choice but to do it.
Ye Wan indeed stopped in her tracks. At this moment, two people nearby were watching them with concern. One was Jin Lan, and the other was Sun Ma. Both looked at them with worried expressions.
"Ye Wan, since you're back, you should stay for now. Little Miss will be so sad if she can't find you. A sick child needs their mother most," Sun Ma also quickly pleaded.
"Yes, Ye Wan, we haven't seen each other in so long. We should at least catch up. You can't be so heartless towards me, can you? Jin Lan Ge Ge used to treat you quite well," Jin Lan began to play on their past relationship.
