Chapter 341: 346 Hurried Departure_1

Lin Xiangwan clung to his arm, unwilling to let go, as if once she did, his heart would never return.

"Wanwan, why are you acting more and more like a child? You should know there are things that can’t be explained over the phone!" Qin Muchuan rubbed her head to soothe her, "I said, once things are taken care of, I will come back immediately. It won’t take long!"

Lin Xiangwan gazed at him dumbly, repeating her earlier plea, "Can’t you just not go?"

"Wanwan..." He called her name emphatically, as if she was being unreasonable.

Lin Xiangwan released his hand, holding back her heartache, "Alright, go, but come back as soon as possible!"

"Alright, don’t worry, I promise!" Qin Muchuan leaned in to kiss her forehead before standing up.

He turned to their children and reminded them, "Tongtong, Ranran, remember to behave and leave with Mommy soon, okay?"

Not understanding their father’s intent and oblivious to their mother’s worry, the two children nodded happily.

Lin Haoran, meanwhile, raised his hand casually while eating, "Dad, don’t worry!"

"Yes, I’ll definitely take good care of Mom!" Qin Yutong nodded.

"Good, I’ll leave it to you then!" Having said that, Qin Muchuan hastily left!

Watching as the door shut, Lin Xiangwan closed her eyes helplessly, a mournful cry echoing in her heart. ’He must be going to Zhou Ziqing, he must be!"

Again, he had deceived her, going to that woman.

Had he rekindled his love for Zhou Ziqing?

So that’s why he continued to deceive her time and time again.

All sorts of imaginings formed in Lin Xiangwan’s mind. Uncontrollably, she worried, felt hurt and anxious.

...

Qin Muchuan sped down the road, ultimately arriving at Zhou Ziqing’s home.

Almost as soon as he knocked the door, Zhou Ziqing opened it.

As he stepped in, Zhou Ziqing latched onto him, leading him hurriedly into the room. "Muchuan, please look at Duoduo, what should we do? She’s been having a fever!"

"When did it start?" Qin Muchuan asked, touching the child’s head.

Zhou Ziqing, on the brink of tears, replied, "It began at six. She was fine before that. She vomited after eating and started shivering, so I covered her with a blanket and held her. Then she started running a fever!"

"It’s clearly a cold!" Qin Muchuan took a cup of water and carried Duoduo, trying to get her to drink some water.

The child was burning up with high fever, her lips red and flushed, which was heartwrenching to see.

Despite her high fever, Duoduo still managed to recognize her father and smiled weakly. "Da-- da-- miss-- you--"

Although the child’s words were unclear, Qin Muchuan still could understand. "Dad misses you too, sweetheart. Drink some more water!"

Four-year-old Duoduo obediently gulped down some more water.

"I’ve called Qiu Shaojie. He should be here soon!" Qin Muchuan said.

Zhou Ziqing was overjoyed. Could it be that he didn’t mind their affair being known by his friend?

Could it be... he didn’t mind his friend knowing that they were still in contact?

Zhou Ziqing was boosted by such hopes and felt ecstatic.

"Da-- da--" Duoduo tugged at her father’s clothes, trying to say something.

Qin Muchuan sensed it. "Duoduo, what’s wrong? What do you want to eat, tell Dad?"

"Mom... mom... hurts..." Duoduo muttered brokenly.

"Mom hurts?" Qin Muchuan repeated in confusion.

Zhou Ziqing immediately rushed over, picking up her daughter. "Mommy’s here, mommy’s here, does it hurt a lot? The doctor will be here soon, and then Duoduo won’t hurt anymore!"

"Whimper... whimper..." Duoduo started sobbing pitifully.

Upon hearing a ’knock knock knock’ sound, Qin Muchuan went to open the door.

Qiu Shaojie, carrying his medical kit, came in. "It was really hard to find this place, if I didn’t have a girlfriend living around here back when we were young, I wouldn’t have managed to find it!"

Qin Muchuan wasn’t in the mood for idle chatter, ushering him into the small bedroom. "Duoduo, she’s got a high fever!"

This was the second time Qiu Shaojie had seen this pitiful child, and again, he found it hard to believe that such a child was Qin Muchuan’s.

However, as an excellent doctor, he knew it was crucial to remain calm and composed under any circumstances.

He placed a thermometer on the child’s forehead, instantly displaying a reading. "Thirty-nine point three degrees!"

"That high!" Zhou Ziqing started crying hysterically, "What should we do? Could her brain get damaged by the fever? Whimper, even though the child is already unhealthy, I’m still so worried!"

Having taken care of sick children before, Qin Muchuan didn’t panic like Zhou Ziqing. "A fever of thirty-nine degrees in children is still normal, isn’t it?"

"Exactly, when children get a fever, it usually exceeds thirty-eight degrees. Thirty-nine degrees may seem alarming, but we can’t judge by adult standards. It’s okay, let’s give her some antipyretic first, then wet the areas under her armpits and knees with warm water. Remember not to wet her palms, her feet and her chest. And don’t forget to wet behind the ears! Continue doing it until her body temperature drops!"

"Alright!" Zhou Ziqing quickly nodded, preparing to get warm water and a towel.

"What medication does she need? I’ll go buy it!" Qin Muchuan asked.

Qiu Shaojie took out several packs of children’s antipyretics from his medical kit. "No need, just feed her these. They are common children’s medicine, quite effective for colds caused by flu!"

"Okay!"

Qin Muchuan was very familiar with these children’s medicines. When Tongtong was sick as a child, these were the ones he had used.

Zhou Ziqing looked at the package of medicine hesitantly. "How do I feed her this, do I dilute it with water and then feed her?"

"Yes, it’s a soluble powder!" Qiu Shaojie answered.

Zhou Ziqing took the medicine into the kitchen, where she dissolved the medicine in cold water - in half a bowl of cold water, to be precise.

"Why aren’t you using boiling water?" Qiu Shaojie asked.

"Boiling water is very hot isn’t it? I’m afraid it will scald the child!" Zhou Ziqing reasoned.

Although she was a woman that Qin Muchuan once loved, and at that time Qiu Shaojie used to follow her around, calling her sister-in-law, he still respected Zhou Ziqing. "You can’t dissolve it in cold water, the medicine won’t dissolve properly and the efficacy will be greatly reduced!"

"But what if it scalds the child?" Zhou Ziqing didn’t want to appear incompetent in front of Qin Muchuan.

"Sister, did you forget what you learned in physics? The heat transfer phenomenon. The hot water will consume a large amount of heat when dissolving the medicine, and the water will cool down soon!" Qiu Shaojie said with a smile.

Actually, he wanted to rebuke her. Didn’t she have any medicine at home? Why would she allow the child to catch a cold and get sick in such hot weather?
