564 The Secret About the Past 182 (2/2)
He immediately called for the doctor to come forth with some medicine.
An Xiaoning removed the thermometer minutes later and Tuoba Gucheng squinted at the display to find that her temperature had shot up to 39 degrees Celsius.
”Why didn't you call me earlier if you're not feeling well?”
She looked down and remained quiet.
The doctor soon arrived and prescribed some medication based on her condition. He then prepared to put her on the drip.
An Xiaoning lay there with her eyes gently shut.
After she was attached to the drip, the doctor again instructed Tuoba Gucheng, ”After this bottle is emptied, replace it with this one and give her some medicine. The fever will definitely subside by tonight.”
”Alright, I got it. Thank you.”
”No problem.”
After the doctor left, An Xiaoning thought that Tuoba Gucheng would instruct some servants to keep watch by her bed. To her surprise, he actually closed the door and sat down on the chair to monitor the drip himself.
”Your Highness, go back to your room. You may just get Xiao Chi to tend to the drip.”
”It's alright, I'll do it myself.” He held his breath and said, ”I'm sorry.”
”Your Highness, you didn't do me any wrong, what happened today was merely an accident…”
His voice was neither too loud nor soft and was rather crisp and clear.
”I'm sorry for that night.”
Clearly not wanting to talk about the incident, An Xiaoning feigned ignorance and said, ”I forgot all about it.”
”You may have forgotten but I haven't. If I didn't lose control of myself that night and violated you, the child wouldn't have come about and you wouldn't have had to suffer the pain of a miscarriage…”
An Xiaoning could not be bothered to explain herself again and her consciousness began to fade.
However, her silence came off as consent to Jin Qingyan.
Bang!
Fan Shixin heard a deafening noise coming from the bedroom. He hurriedly pushed the door open and asked, ”Young Sir, what's the matter?”
”Get lost!!!”
Fan Shixin was greeted with the sight of a teary-eyed Jin Qingyan, who had a menacing and terrifying expression on his face.
Noticing the laptop, which was smashed into pieces, on the ground, Fan Shixin boldly walked toward him slowly.
”Young Sir, just what's the matter? Don't behave like this.”
”Did you not hear my instructions? I told you to get out!” Jin Qingyan bellowed angrily, staring at Fan Shixin while seething with anger.
”Okay, I'll go out right now.” Fan Shixin picked up the broken laptop and left the bedroom.
He brought another laptop and stood by the door of the bedroom, only to hear noises of items being smashed and thrown onto the ground. Fan Shixin dared not enter.
He thought that his Young Sir was throwing a fit because he was frustrated at the fact that he could not help An Xiaoning, who was injured.
He only dared to enter after waiting outside the bedroom for more than twenty minutes. ”Young Sir, here's a new laptop. Don't smash it again. Otherwise, how are you going to watch Young Madam? I'll leave it here for you.”
Noticing that he was remaining still, Fan Shixin opened the new laptop and ordered the servants to clean up the mess and debris of the items Jin Qingyan had wrecked.
The computer was reconnected to the surveillance camera.
Fan Shixin was dumbfounded as well the moment he saw the man on the screen. His Young Madam could clearly be seen grabbing onto the man's hand tightly. He turned to look at his Young Sir, who was smoldering with rage.
”I'm sorry… I'm sorry…” An Xiaoning murmured in her sleep, sobbing while tears flowed from her eyes uncontrollably. She was holding onto Tuoba Gucheng's hand tightly.
Tuoba Gucheng reckoned that she must have been dreaming. ”Mu Ning, wake up…” he called out softly.
”I'm sorry…”
”What are you sorry about?” Tuoba Gucheng asked.
”I'm sorry, I couldn't protect our child…”
