Even in his semi-consciousness, he could not wait to see if his efforts last night had succeeded.

The nurse did not know what his intentions were, so she pressed down on his tiny hand and carefully stuffed the thermometer into his mouth.

"What's going on?" The nurse looked at the boy worriedly, seemingly distressed. "It looks like he has a very high fever. That's impossible. Didn't his fever subside yesterday? Didn't he cover himself with a blanket at night?"

"Impossible!" Jing Qi said, "I made sure that he had fallen asleep before going to sleep myself. Besides, our Yangyang doesn't have the habit of kicking the blanket away."

"Then why is the fever back?" Even the nurse was worried.

Jing Yang's head hurt so much that it felt like it was going to split open. It seemed he had overdone things last night, and now he felt like he was on fire. His lips seemed to be scalded by the breath that came out of his nose. But even then, he could feel bouts of chill running down his spine.

Jing Yang was looking forward to it. If his fever returned, he would be able to stay in the hospital with little Yueyao! At the thought of being able to play with little Yueyao, the pain he was suffering was nothing.

If Jing Qi and the nurse were to find out that the little guy they were so meticulously caring for now actually brought this upon himself deliberately, they'd be so hopping mad it wouldn't be funny!

The nurse removed the thermometer and gasped in horror when she saw the red line. "Good heavens, 39.8 degrees? Why was his fever so high? It was even higher than when he first came to the hospital."

When Jing Qi heard this, she also became worried. Coincidentally, there seemed to be a flu bug going around recently. She asked worriedly, "Could he have contracted the flu?"

"That's impossible. Other than a high fever, there don't seem to be any other matching characteristics."

"Then… why does it keep returning?"

Before coming to the hospital, she had been using fever patches and medicine from the nearby children's hospital, because his temperature wasn't too high.

However, the fever kept coming back, and it kept worsening. Hence Jing Qi became worried that it was the flu bug, and took the child to the hospital.

The nurse said, "Let's get an injection to reduce the fever first. I'll get the chief physician to come over personally in the afternoon!"

"Alright."

Hearing that his fever had returned, Jing Yang smiled in relief. Then, he lost consciousness. When he came to, he found himself on an IV drip. Because the infusion policy had become strict, especially for children, getting an IV drip was not the norm.

But his fever was running too high.

The feeling of having a fever was really unpleasant. This time, it was worse than any fever in the past.

But he did not regret it.

The only regret was that he had imagined that he could still walk freely after having a fever and go to little Yueyao's ward to play with her. However, he did not even have the strength to get off the bed now.

He had clearly miscalculated.

He thought that deliberately bathing in the cold water would just result in a fever and a headache. He did not expect that he would lose all his strength.

Yueyao, on the other hand, had been walking around the back garden the day before. She was sweating profusely and her temperature had dropped a little, but she was still coughing slightly.

Yun Shishi initially thought that Jing Yang would be discharged from the hospital today, but when she heard that the child was having a fever again, she carried little Yueyao over to visit.

As soon as the girl was carried into the room and saw Jing Yang, who was flushed red with fever, she got a fright.
