“Pass the phone to Jiaojiao.” Zhou Shuang kept her words brief, and she requested to talk to her daughter. Worry was laced in her tone and this gave Lu Yinan an idea.
His eyes lit up for a moment.
“She’s been running a fever of 40 degrees the entire day,” Lu Yinan explained. He did not pass the phone to Jiaojiao.
He was hoping that Zhou Shuang would fly back in a panic.
He had just taken Second Lu’s temperature—it was only 39-degrees.
How shameless!
“That’s so high. She didn’t see a doctor?”
Zhou Shuang became anxious when she heard that Jiaojiao was running a 40-degree fever.
Lu Yinan imagined what Zhou Shuang’s expression was: Her eyes bulging, and her face paled.
Everything was going according to his plan. His eyes flashed craftily, and he helplessly said, “She refused to go to the hospital or eat medication. She keeps asking for you.”
Then he looked at Jiaojiao. Her face was flushed.
He gently caressed her face with the back of his hand.
Zhou Shuang’s voice wavered as she said, “Pass the phone to Jiaojiao. Let me talk to her.”
“Okay.” Lu Yinan passed Jiaojiao the phone. “Jiaojiao, it’s Mommy.”
Jiaojiao eagerly snatched the phone. “Mommy. I want Mommy.”
Tears fell down her face once more.
Zhou Shuang’s heart ached when she heard her crying. She started tearing as well as she said, “Jiaojiao, this is Mommy. Listen to Daddy, go to the hospital and take your medicine. Be a good girl, alright?”
Not once did all three of her children leave her side since they were born. Although there were many people at home who helped her, she basically was the one who raised the kids.
Having left without Second Lu for so many days, Zhou Shuang also felt heartbroken. She often cried in secret at night.
How she wished that she could teleport back to her daughter’s side, as though she was in a game.
“I miss Mommy. Mommy doesn’t want Jiaojiao anymore. You only want Brother and Sister, right?” Jiaojiao choked as tears flowed uncontrollably down her face.
Although she was a few minutes older than Yanyan, she was an obedient and thoughtful older sister.
She was very thoughtful towards Yanyan, her great grandfather, and also her parents.
All the elders at home loved her.
Naturally, she thought more about things as well.
Zhou Shuang denied, “No, of course not. Jiaojiao is Mommy’s obedient baby.”
“Brother Nuoxing said that Mommy doesn’t want me anymore…” Jiaojiao started sobbing.
Zhou Shuang covered her mouth and took a moment to compose herself before saying, “Mommy wants Jiaojiao. Mommy loves Jiaojiao very much. Jiaojiao, be a good girl and eat your medicine, alright?”
Jiaojiao’s voice sounded strangled as she asked, “Will Mommy come home if I eat my medicine?”
“Don’t cry, darling.” Lu Yinan helped Jiaojiao wipe away her tears, but it was a never-ending stream. His heart ached, so he decided to carry her in his arms.
Jiaojiao was still holding the phone, asking for her Mommy.
Zhou Shuang was heartbroken that she couldn’t speak.
Both of them had long pauses after every sentence in their conversation.
“Mommy will go over in a few days to take you to Country M, okay?”
“No… Don’t want…” Jiaojiao cried and shook her head. “Jiaojiao wants Daddy and Mommy to be together. I want Mommy and Daddy.”
