Chapter 114 Why Should This Money-Losing Girl Go to the Hospital?
Jiang He never imagined that her peaceful life would be completely shattered on this day.

Her child, the usually lively and adorable little angel still under emergency care, was now lying in bed, his face flushed red, his lips cracked, and he was occasionally letting out a faint moan.

Jiang He was extremely anxious. She reached out and touched the child's forehead. The burning heat made her heart clench, as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.

"The fever is too high, you have to go to the hospital!"

As Jiang He spoke, she frantically rummaged through her child's coat, preparing to put it on him.

However, when she hurriedly walked to the door with her child in her arms, she was stopped by Lin's mother.

Lin's mother looked serious, her eyes revealing an unwavering determination: "We can't go to the hospital."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry an invisible force, leaving Jiang He stunned on the spot.

"Mom, what are you saying? The child has such a high fever, if we don't take him to the hospital, something terrible will happen!"

Jiang He was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was full of pleading.

She really didn't understand why Lin's mother was stopping her at this time.

Lin's mother remained unmoved. "I said we can't go to the hospital, and that means we can't. Don't overreact all the time. It's normal for children to have a fever. When we were kids, we all went through the same thing. A little fever reducer will do the trick."

"But Mom, this time is different. The child has such a high fever, and the fever reducer is not working at all!"

Jiang He was extremely anxious. The child was squirming restlessly in her arms, and she felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

"Hmph, how is it different? You just spoil the child too much. Is the hospital a good place? Who knows what disease he might catch if he goes there?"

Lin's mother frowned and said with a look of disgust.

"He's caught a disease? Mom, what are you saying! The child's condition is critical; only the hospital can save him!"

Jiang He was so angry that she trembled all over. She simply couldn't understand Lin's mother's stubbornness.

"I said no, and that's final! Don't forget, this child's surname is Lin, he's a member of the Lin family, and my word is law!"

Lin's mother crossed her arms, adopting a superior posture.

Jiang He was both angry and anxious; she knew that reasoning with Lin's mother was useless.

She instinctively hugged the child tightly and tried to get past Lin's mother to rush out.

However, Lin's mother grabbed her arm with surprising strength.

"Let me go!"

Jiang He shouted angrily, "The child is mine, I have the right to take him to the hospital!"

"You ignorant brat! If you dare step out of this door today, don't ever come back home!"

Lin's mother shouted, a hint of threat in her eyes.

Jiang He felt a wave of despair. Looking at the unconscious child in her arms, tears streamed down her face.

She couldn't understand why Lin's mother was so heartless. Did she really think her child's life was so unimportant?

Just when Jiang He felt helpless, she suddenly thought of Lin Yanqing, the child's father.

She quickly took out her phone and, with trembling fingers, dialed Lin Yanqing's number. After a few rings, the call was finally answered.

"Hello, what's wrong?" Lin Yanqing's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding somewhat tired.

"My child has a high fever, but Mom won't let me take him to the hospital. Please come back!" Jiang He said, sobbing uncontrollably.

"What? The child has a fever? Why won't Mom let us go to the hospital? Don't worry, I'll be right back!" Lin Yanqing said anxiously on the other end of the phone, and then hung up.

Jiang He held the child and paced back and forth in the living room, her eyes fixed on the door, hoping that Lin Yanqing would return soon.

Every second felt like an eternity to her; the child's faint breathing was like a series of heavy hammer blows pounding against her heart.

Lin's mother sat on the sofa to the side, still looking calm and composed, muttering to herself, "What's all the fuss about? What could possibly be wrong?"

After an unknown amount of time, they finally heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and Lin Yanqing rushed in. He didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead, heading straight for Jiang He and the child.

"How is the child?" Lin Yanqing asked anxiously, her eyes filled with worry.

"He still has a fever, honey, let's take the baby to the hospital right away!"

Jiang He looked at Lin Yanqing pleadingly.

Lin Yanqing nodded, then looked at her mother and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "Mom, the child is in this state, why won't you let us go to the hospital?"

When Lin's mother saw her son return, her attitude softened slightly, but she still insisted, "I'm doing this for the child's own good. There are too many people and germs in the hospital. I'm afraid the child will catch other diseases there."

"Mom, you're being foolish! The child's condition is the most important thing right now. If we don't go to the hospital soon, it could be really dangerous!"

Lin Yanqing said anxiously. Lin's mother was somewhat swayed by her son's words. Looking at her grandson's flushed face, she also felt a pang of pity.

"Mom, please, let us take the child to the hospital!"

Jiang He pleaded again.

Lin's mother hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed, waved her hand, and said, "Go on, go on, I really can't do anything with you."

Lin Yanqing and Jiang He dared not delay any longer. They immediately grabbed their child, rushed out of the house, hailed a car, and headed straight for the hospital.

At the hospital, the doctors quickly examined and diagnosed the child.

As the child was wheeled into the emergency room, Jiang He and Lin Yanqing waited anxiously outside.

Jiang He gripped Lin Yanqing's hand tightly, her nails digging into his flesh, but Lin Yanqing was oblivious, his heart filled with worry and self-reproach.

"It's all my fault. I wish I could have come back sooner," Lin Yanqing said remorsefully.

“It’s not your fault, honey. It’s all Mom’s fault. If she hadn’t stopped us, the baby wouldn’t have been delayed for so long.”

Jiang He said, crying. Time ticked by in tension and worry.

Finally, the emergency room door slowly opened, and the doctor came out.

"Doctor, how is my child?" Jiang He and Lin Yanqing immediately surrounded him and asked anxiously.

The doctor took off his mask, a relieved smile on his face. "The child is out of danger. The fever caused a seizure. Fortunately, he was brought in in time. If he had been any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Hearing the doctor's words, Jiang He and Lin Yanqing finally felt relieved.

Jiang He couldn't help but burst into tears of joy. She hugged Lin Yanqing tightly, as if all her fear and worry had turned into tears and poured out.

After several days of treatment, the child's condition gradually improved, and he was finally able to be discharged from the hospital.

After returning home, Lin Yanqing had a serious talk with his mother.

"Mom, you've gone too far this time. Our child is the apple of our eye; his health is more important than anything else. You can't be so stubborn in the future. What if something happens to our child because of your insistence? How are we supposed to live?"

Lin Yanqing said earnestly. Lin's mother lowered her head, a look of guilt on her face, "I know I was wrong. I was confused at the time and didn't expect it to be so serious. I'm relieved to see that the child is alright."
