Bab 19: Zhou Boyan Is Unconscious (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
When Yue Yan went to the balcony to close the window, she saw that the Zhou Family's door was open. Grandma Zhou and an old woman were supporting Zhou Boyan.
She hurriedly ran downstairs.
"Yueyue, where are you going!" Wen Hongyu shouted from behind.
Yue Yan was burning with anxiety. "I'll go opposite. Brother Xiaofei seems to be sick!"
"Then bring the umbrella with you. It's at the door."
She grabbed her umbrella and hurried into the rain.
Yue Huaide came out after washing his hair. "What's wrong with Yueyue?"
Wen Hongyu said worriedly, "She said that the Zhou Family's child is sick. She's going to take a look."
"Oh, I thought something went wrong." Yue Huaide shook his head and the water beads flew onto Wen Hongyu.
"I'm just worried that Yueyue will get too close to the Zhou Family's child." Her Yue Yan was only 16 years old. She's at the age when people first fall in love.
Yue Huaide sighed. "You're just worrying for nothing. Yueyue and that young man are fine. I have good taste as a father. Besides, Little Zhou is quite outstanding. It's just that his family background is extraordinary. I'm afraid our Yueyue isn't worthy of him."
Wen Hongyu glared at him. "Go away. What do you mean by not worthy of him? How much money does our Yueyue earn for you this month? Even if the Zhou Family is rich, can they be as good as Yueyue?!"
Yue Huaide scratched his head. "Hehe, that's not what I meant. Look at how anxious you are. Besides, what if Yueyue likes that young man from the Zhou Family and you want to break them up?"
Wen Hongyu was stunned. "I never thought about it. I definitely can't bear to see our Yueyue sad."
"That's right. Don't think too much. Our Yueyue is very sensible. She knows her limits."
Yue Yan still did not know that her parents had discussed her and Zhou Boyan after she left.
She ran to the entrance of the Zhou Family's house. Grandma Zhou was about to close the door.
"Grandma, I saw that Brother Xiaofei was not feeling well from the balcony. What's wrong with him?"
Yue Yan looked anxious. Grandma Zhou sighed and let her in.
"He's having a fever again?" Yue Yan looked at Zhou Boyan, who was unconscious on the bed. Brother Xiaofei's lips were pale and his face was red. His forehead felt hot.
Grandpa Zhou looked tired. "You must be Yueyue. Xiaofei will definitely get better with your care."
"Hello, Grandpa Zhou. Why didn't you send Brother Xiaofei to the hospital for treatment?" The Zhou Family definitely could afford to go to the hospital.
Grandma Zhou sighed and said, "Xiaofei has had this illness since he was young. The hospital couldn't find its cause. He will just keep having a fever and fainting. He will wake up naturally in a few days."
A few days?!
What if his brain was damaged after a few days?!
Yue Yan said anxiously, "But Brother Xiaofei has such a serious problem. We have to at least let him stay in the hospital for observation. We'll be more at ease with the doctors and nurses watching him!"
Grandpa Zhou waved his hand. "I'm a doctor. Even the experts in the capitol can't do anything about Xiaofei's illness."
Yue Yan was indignant. Medical care was backward in this era and there were not many high-tech inspection equipment. However, she could not just leave it like that!
She didn't want to say anything harsh to the two elders. She only asked Grandma Zhou softly, "Grandma, do you have a towel at home? I want to cool Brother Xiaofei down."
Grandma Zhou wanted to say something but hesitated. She still brought her to get a towel.
Yue Yan soaked the towel in water, wrung it dry, and placed it on Zhou Boyan's forehead.
Her fingers accidentally touched Zhou Boyan's skin. It was really hot, as if his blood was burning.
Yue Yan waited until past eight o'clock. Grandma Zhou brought her a bowl of noodles with two poached eggs on it.
"Eat something, child. You've been on guard for an hour."
Yue Yan was indeed a little hungry. "Grandma, have you eaten?"
"Xiaofei's grandpa and I had lunch this afternoon. His grandfather didn't sleep last night and was resting outside."
Yue Yan touched Zhou Boyan's forehead. It was still very hot. She changed the towel that was already getting warm before starting to eat.
At this moment, she blamed Brother Xiaofei's parents. Why did they only care about earning money and not their child at home?
Wen Hongyu came over at around nine o'clock.
She was originally worried about Yueyue and Xiaofei's relationship. Seeing her precious daughter take care of him so meticulously, she suddenly changed her mind.
If Zhou Boyan didn't like Yueyue, he must be blind.
"Grandma Zhou, go to bed early. I'll come and see Brother Xiaofei tomorrow. Don't be afraid to trouble my family if anything happens in the middle of the night. My father will definitely be able to help."
She was worried about the two elders taking care of Zhou Boyan, not to mention that it was raining outside.
Grandma Zhou couldn't help but nod. "Alright, good child." This family taught their child well.
"Grandma, don't send me off. Go in quickly." Yue Yan brought the puppy along when she left.
The older puppy wagged his tail happily, unaware that he was about to meet his silly brother.
Yue Yan entered her house and asked Grandma Zhou to lock the door. Wen Hongyu only locked their door after the Zhou Family's door was locked.
"Mom, I have made you worry." Yue Yan placed her head on Wen Hongyu's shoulder.
"Don't mention it. I'm proud of you for helping to take care of the patient opposite."
Yue Yan sighed. "Brother Xiaofei is too pitiful. His illness can't be checked in the hospital. He often has a fever and faints. Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou are already so old, but they still have to take care of Brother Xiaofei."
Wen Hongyu's heart skipped a beat. "What about his parents?"
Actually, she was not very familiar with the Zhou Family. The Zhou Family had moved over at the last minute and had lived here for less than half a year.
"I think they're out doing business. Anyway, they're a long way from home. They'll send money back."
Wen Hongyu lamented. "Your father and I are very easily-contented. We don't want to be rich. It's fine as long as we're safe."
