Chapter 131 Disease

Jiang Yun, still asleep, had her brows slightly furrowed, as if she had been disturbed by something.

Suddenly, a sharp cry of a baby shattered the silence, instantly breaking the tranquility.

Jiang Yun suddenly opened her eyes, still sleepy, and quickly sat up.

Lu Mingze, who was beside him, was also awakened at the same time. He rubbed his eyes and said in a sleepy voice, "Baby is awake again."

Jiang Yun gently patted Lu Mingze's arm and said softly, "You sleep a little longer, I'll go check on him."

But Lu Mingze refused. He shook his head and said, "I'll go with you," as he and Jiang Yun got out of bed. The two hurried to the crib.

The baby's face turned bright red, and his little hands were waving wildly in the air, his cries growing louder and louder.

Jiang Yun felt extremely distressed and quickly picked up the baby, gently rocking him while humming a soft lullaby: "Baby, be good, baby, don't cry..."

Lu Mingze also came over, gently touched the baby's forehead, and checked the diaper, finding nothing unusual.

Are you hungry?

Jiang Yun murmured softly, as if asking Lu Mingze, or perhaps asking herself.

Lu Mingze nodded, turned around and strode towards the kitchen to prepare formula for the baby.

A little while later, he returned with the prepared baby bottle. Jiang Yun took the bottle and gently put the nipple into the baby's mouth.

The baby seemed extremely hungry, immediately stopped crying, and started eating heartily. The expression on his little face gradually relaxed and became satisfied.

Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze sat on the edge of the bed, quietly watching the baby drink milk, their eyes full of tenderness and love.

In the room, only the sound of the baby drinking milk and the ticking of the clock on the wall intertwined, as if forming a unique lullaby.

After finishing her milk, the baby didn't fall asleep as usual. Instead, she opened her big, round eyes and looked around curiously, making babbling sounds from time to time. She seemed to still be immersed in the little emotions she had just experienced and was too excited to sleep.

Jiang Yun smiled helplessly and said to Lu Mingze, "It seems the little guy is in good spirits tonight."

Lu Mingze reached out and gently pinched the baby's cheek, teasingly saying, "Little baby, don't bother your mom and dad anymore, go to sleep."

As he spoke, he stood up and paced gently around the room, mimicking the sound of an airplane, buzzing around Jiang Yun and the baby, trying to amuse the baby and get him to fall asleep as soon as possible.

The baby giggled at Lu Mingze's funny actions, waving his little hands as if interacting with his father.

Jiang Yun looked at the two adorable children, one big and one small, and her heart was filled with warmth.

She joined in, chatting with Lu Mingze and the baby back and forth.

"Baby, do you know how much Mommy and Daddy love you?"

"Jiang Yun said softly. The baby seemed to understand his mother's words, grinned, revealing his not-yet-fully-grown baby teeth, and laughed even more happily.

After playing for a while, the baby's eyelids began to droop, but before Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly perked up and started crying loudly.

This time, the two were somewhat at a loss.

Jiang Yun gently patted the baby's back and soothed him softly, but the baby continued to cry.

Lu Mingze paced anxiously around the room. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he strode to the living room, turned on the stereo, and played soft, soothing classical music.

The music flowed gently into the room, and miraculously, the baby's crying gradually subsided.

Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.

They continued to gently rock the baby, and slowly, to the rhythm of the music, the baby finally fell asleep peacefully in Jiang Yun's arms, a sweet smile still on her little face, as if the crying just now was just a little dream.

Jiang Yun carefully placed the baby back in the crib, covered him with a small blanket, and gently kissed his forehead.

Lu Mingze also came over, looked at the sleeping baby, and said softly, "Little guy, you've really kept us up all night." The two of them tiptoed out of the room, afraid of waking the baby again.

Back in the bedroom, Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze were wide awake. They sat on the edge of the bed, recalling their interaction with the baby, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

"After having a baby, life has become busy and tiring, but it has also brought a lot of fun that I didn't have before."

Jiang Yun sighed. Lu Mingze reached out and hugged Jiang Yun, saying gently, "Yes, as long as our family is happy, it's all worth it, no matter how hard it is."

Lu Mingze gently closed the door and said to Jiang Yun, "Go back to sleep for a while, I'll make breakfast."

Jiang Yun shook her head and took Lu Mingze's arm: "I'll go with you, and we can also prepare the baby's complementary food."

The two walked hand in hand into the kitchen and began preparing for the new day.

The sounds of pots and pans clattering in the kitchen, along with the gradually increasing chirping of birds outside the window, created a warm and cozy symphony of life.

The morning sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window, gently bathing Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze's home in a golden veil.

As usual, Jiang Yun tiptoed to the crib to check if the baby was sleeping soundly.

However, when she got closer, she found that the baby's face was a little red and his breathing was more rapid than usual.

Jiang Yun's heart tightened, and she quickly reached out to touch the baby's forehead. "It's so hot!"

She couldn't help but gasp. Lu Mingze, who was tidying up in the living room, heard the sound and immediately rushed into the room.

"what happened?"

he asked anxiously.

Jiang Yun said with a worried expression, "The baby seems to have a fever, what should we do?"

Lu Mingze also reached out and touched the baby's forehead, his brows furrowing tightly.

The two didn't dare to delay. They quickly dressed the baby, tidied up briefly, and then hurriedly went out to the hospital.

Along the way, Lu Mingze drove with a focused yet anxious gaze, glancing occasionally at Jiang Yun, who was holding the baby in the back seat.

Jiang Yun held the baby tightly, humming a soothing lullaby softly in an attempt to make the baby more comfortable. However, the baby squirmed restlessly in her arms due to discomfort, occasionally letting out a few weak cries.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Lu Mingze carried the baby while Jiang Yun jogged off to register.

The bustling hospital and the noise only made the already anxious couple more agitated.

After registering, they hurriedly followed the signs to the pediatric clinic.

A long queue had already formed outside the examination room. Seeing that there were still many people ahead of them, Jiang Yun was extremely anxious and kept standing on tiptoe to look around. Finally, it was their turn. Lu Mingze carefully placed the baby on the examination bed. The doctor, wearing a mask, had a gentle and focused gaze as he examined the baby with a stethoscope while asking about the baby's symptoms and recent condition.

Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze described the situation to the doctor in detail, one after the other. After the examination, the doctor said, "The preliminary diagnosis is that the fever is caused by a cold. We need to do a blood test to see if it is a viral or bacterial infection so that we can prescribe the right treatment."

The two then carried the baby to the blood test area. As the nurse inserted the thin needle into the baby's little finger, the baby cried out in pain. Jiang Yun's eyes reddened with heartache. She held the baby's other little hand tightly and kept saying, "Baby, be good, don't cry, it'll be over soon."

Lu Mingze gently stroked the baby's head, comforting him, "Baby, don't be afraid, Daddy's here."

After their blood was drawn, they returned to the examination room with the test results, and every second felt incredibly long while they waited for the outcome.

Jiang Yun held her baby's little hand tightly, her eyes never leaving the baby's face, as if this could ease the baby's pain.

Lu Mingze gently put his arm around Jiang Yun's shoulder, trying to comfort her, but his own eyes were full of worry.

Finally, the doctor received the test results, looked at them carefully, and said, "It's a cold caused by a viral infection. It's not a big problem. I'll prescribe some medicine. Go home and give it to your baby on time, give him plenty of water, and keep an eye on his temperature. If the fever exceeds 38.5℃, give him some fever reducer."

Hearing the doctor say that the problem wasn't serious, Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze finally felt a little relieved.

After getting their medication, they left the hospital.

On the way home, the baby gradually fell asleep in Jiang Yun's arms. Looking at the baby's sleeping face, Jiang Yun felt a pang of heartache.

As Lu Mingze drove, he would glance at them in the rearview mirror every now and then and say softly, "Don't worry too much, the baby will get better soon after taking the medicine."

Jiang Yun nodded gently, but a trace of worry still lingered in her eyes.

Back home, Jiang Yun carefully placed the baby on the bed and covered him with a blanket.

Lu Mingze then prepared to give the baby the medicine as instructed by the doctor.

Looking at the tiny pills and liquid, Lu Mingze was a little troubled. He was worried that the baby wouldn't cooperate and would spit out the medicine.

Jiang Yun walked over, took the medicine, and said gently, "Let me do it."

She gently picked up the baby, letting the baby lean against her chest, and then used a small spoon to scoop up a little medicine and put it to the baby's mouth.

The baby frowned immediately upon smelling the medicine, tightly closing his little mouth and refusing to open it. Jiang Yun patiently coaxed, "Baby, be good. Once you take the medicine, you'll feel better and can play with Mommy and Daddy."

But the baby remained unmoved.

Lu Mingze thought for a moment, then turned around and grabbed one of the baby's favorite toys, waving it in front of the baby to attract the baby's attention.

Taking advantage of the moment the baby opened his mouth, Jiang Yun quickly fed the medicine into the baby's mouth.

The baby paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and burst into tears.

Jiang Yun hugged the baby tenderly, patted his back gently, and said, "Baby, don't cry, Mommy will hug you."

Lu Mingze also comforted them from the side, and it took the two of them a lot of effort to finally feed the medicine.

In the days that followed, Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze stayed by the baby's side almost constantly, closely monitoring the baby's condition.

They take the baby's temperature every now and then, and if they find that the temperature is high, they quickly use physical methods to cool the baby down, wiping the baby's forehead, palms and soles with a damp towel.

To get their baby to drink more water, they tried all sorts of methods, sometimes using cute cartoon cups to attract the baby, and sometimes adding a little of the baby's favorite juice to the water.

Although the baby is still young, he seems to have sensed his parents' love and concern. Every time he sees Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze looking nervous, he tries to force a smile and babble something, as if to tell them that he is alright.

Seeing how sensible the baby was, Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze felt both touched and heartbroken.

One night, the baby's temperature suddenly rose again, and the cough was worse than before.

Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze hurriedly gave the baby fever-reducing medicine, but after a long time, the baby's temperature still did not come down.

The two were extremely anxious, pacing back and forth in the room, not knowing what to do. Jiang Yun held her baby's little hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Baby, get well soon, Mommy is so worried about you."

Lu Mingze tried to remain calm and comforted Jiang Yun: "Don't panic, let's observe for a while longer. If it still doesn't work, we'll go to the hospital again."

Just when they were extremely anxious, the baby suddenly coughed up a large amount of phlegm.

Surprisingly, after vomiting, the baby's cough seemed to lessen considerably, and his breathing became more stable.

The two exchanged a surprised glance, secretly relieved.

After several days of careful care, the baby's condition finally showed significant improvement.

His body temperature gradually returned to normal, and his spirits improved. He started laughing and playing around at home again, just like before.

To celebrate her baby's recovery, Jiang Yun specially prepared a sumptuous meal.

The dining table was filled with baby food that the baby liked, as well as dishes that Lu Mingze and Jiang Yun loved.

The family sat together, their laughter echoing throughout the room.

The baby sat in the high chair, holding a small cookie in his hand, eating it with relish. Every now and then, he would look up and give Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze a bright smile, calling out indistinctly, "Daddy, Mommy."

Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze looked at the baby with eyes full of love.

The exhaustion from taking care of the baby these past few days turned into tears of happiness at this moment. Jiang Yun gently held Lu Mingze's hand and said with emotion, "You've really worked hard these past few days. Thankfully, the baby is alright now."

Lu Mingze smiled and said, "It's not hard work. As long as the baby is healthy and happy, that's more important than anything else."

After finishing his meal, Lu Mingze took the initiative to clear the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Jiang Yun played with her baby in the living room, watching the baby crawl around on the carpet, picking up this toy one moment and that toy the next. Jiang Yun's heart was filled with happiness and contentment.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Jiang Yun got up to open the door and found it was Jiang Qian.

Jiang Qian was carrying a large bag of fruit and snacks. As soon as she entered the door, she asked anxiously, "How is the baby? Is he feeling better?"

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "It's all better now. Look, he's having a great time." As she spoke, she pointed to the baby playing on the carpet.

Jiang Qian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the baby was alright, and said with a smile, "That's good. I was so worried about you these past few days. I bought some fruit and snacks to nourish the baby."

As she spoke, she placed the bag she was carrying on the table, walked over to the baby, squatted down, and played with the baby. The baby saw Jiang Qian, smiled happily, and reached out his little hands, wanting Jiang Qian to hold him.

Jiang Qian picked up the baby, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Baby, you scared me so much. You must be good from now on and don't get sick again."
