Chapter 562: Chapter 561: Mass Release 41

At this moment, in the old lady’s eyes, Xu Niannian was truly frail to the extreme; she felt Xu Niannian alone was just not okay.

As her own grandmother, shouldn’t she feel distressed?

After the three elders visited Xu Niannian and worried about disturbing her rest, they dared not stay too long and went downstairs after a while.

Once downstairs, the old lady made sure Xu Niannian wouldn’t hear her before she angrily said to Elder Master Jin, "Where has Jin Yu gone to? My Baby Nian is like this, why hasn’t he come over?"

Jin Yu’s work was special, which was known to all Jin family members, including the old lady, but she wasn’t aware of the specifics.

Xu Wentian, on the other hand, knew a bit more.

Elder Master Jin also felt that it was not right for a woman to be without someone to look after her during pregnancy, and he felt sorry for Xu Niannian.

But this matter wasn’t Jin Yu’s fault.

It was Xu Wentian who comforted the old lady, "Xiao Jin has special work duties; he might not be aware of the situation."

The old lady was just heartbroken for her granddaughter; the issue wasn’t a big one, but neither was it trivial.

Her only worry was that no one would notice if there were more serious situations in the future.

That’s why she felt upset.

However, she also knew that Jin Yu couldn’t be blamed for this.

Her tone softened some as she asked, "Where is Xiao Jin? Can we call him?"

Unless he was on a mission, it should be possible.

Elder Master Jin tried to make a call to the base.

After the call connected, the person assisting with communications hurried to inform Jin Yu.

Jin Yu rushed back to take the call.

Hearing that Xu Niannian was sick, Jin Yu didn’t say anything extra; he asked for leave immediately. Fortunately, he had taken on many tasks recently; otherwise, he wouldn’t have any leave at all.

When Jin Yu arrived home, Xu Niannian had just had her dinner and went back to sleep.

She had spent almost the entire day in bed.

Because Xu Niannian had drunk water from the space, her body had been refined and was generally very resistant to sickness.

Coming down with a sudden fever that was so severe, it was as if she had contracted a terminal illness.

When Jin Yu got home, he asked Jin Nanxi and heard Xu Niannian was already resting in her room. Covered in mud, he didn’t even take a shower first, rushing straight to the room.

As he reached the door, though his steps had been urgent, they suddenly slowed. He gently pushed open the door and entered.

Even at the base, Jin Yu missed Xu Niannian every day as if possessed by a demon.

Seeing the face he longed for day and night, Jin Yu wished he could embrace her right there and then.

Xu Niannian’s complexion was still pale, her lips devoid of color. Jin Yu, seeing this, felt a pain in his heart. He wanted to reach out to touch her cheek, to sweep aside the hair by her face.

Yet, because he was covered in mud and she was so clean, he couldn’t bear the thought of dirtying her face.

He knelt beside the bed, watching her for a while before he went downstairs to take a shower and changed into clean clothes.

It was already very late. Knowing that Jin Yu would return that day after speaking to him on the phone, the old lady and Xu Wentian didn’t continue staying there.

Jin Yu couldn’t even care about eating dinner.

Nanny Zhao hadn’t gone to rest yet; seeing Jin Yu come out of the bathroom, she said with concern, "There is still food in the kitchen; I can heat it up for you."

"No need," he replied.

Back in the room once more, Jin Yu held Xu Niannian in his arms, gently wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

How could there be so much cold sweat when everything else was fine?

For a moment, Jin Yu was skeptical but didn’t think much of it.

In her sleep, Xu Niannian must have felt the familiar embrace, automatically snuggling deeper into Jin Yu’s arms.

Jin Yu sighed, rubbing her hair tenderly and whispered, "I’m sorry."

If he had been nearby to take good care of her, she wouldn’t have had a high fever for hours unnoticed.

Although everyone in the family would look after Xu Niannian, they couldn’t be as attentive as needed.

Who could have thought that her long sleep was due to a fever, not sheer laziness?

After the two fell asleep, a certain Pang Dun continued to drag a certain Thin Monkey out, entering the space.

This time, Pang Dun showed no mercy and pressed Thin Monkey entirely into the spring water.

His little face was tight.

"Thin Monkey, can you hang in there a few more days, just until the seventh month is full? Once we hit seven months, we can go out," he implored.

Indeed, Xu Niannian’s sudden fever was because of Thin Monkey.

The Thin Monkey’s Soul Body was becoming increasingly unstable and needed to merge with the newborn body and then grow in the outside world to nourish the soul.

Because his Soul Body inside Xu Niannian’s body was becoming more unstable, it led to an unconscious restlessness in Thin Monkey.

This restlessness only made the Soul Body more unstable.

Their Soul Bodies within Xu Niannian affected the mother’s body when unsettled.

Pang Dun was also anxious.

He didn’t want anything wrong with Xu Niannian’s health, nor did he want anything to happen to Thin Monkey.

This time, after being pressed into the spring water, Thin Monkey did not stay as docile as before but seemed agitated, struggling as if trying to climb out.

Pang Dun had no choice but to keep pressing down.

Fortunately, after soaking for not even ten minutes, Thin Monkey gradually calmed down.

Then, Pang Dun let go of Thin Monkey.

Holding Thin Monkey by the neck with one hand, Pang Dun said earnestly, "We only have to endure a few more days. You need to behave during this time, no causing trouble, understand?"
