It was already afternoon when he returned to the hotel. He wanted to eat something to fill his stomach, but he found that he did not have any appetite. After eating a few bites, he bid farewell to Xiao Yun and returned to his room.
Seeing Chief Chu's leaving figure, Xiao Yun naturally did not dare to ask too much. Ever since the man from the exhibition hall came back, Chief Chu's mood was especially strange. Although she was curious, the Chief Chu's private matters were not something she should be concerned about.
Just as he entered his room, his phone rang. Chu Yu smiled when he saw the name that jumped up and down on the screen. Youzi was always on time, making Chu Jingnian call her on time. After changing his shoes and sitting on the sofa, he took a deep breath to put aside his bad mood. Then, Chu Yu pressed the answer button.
She didn't want Youzi or Chu Jingnian, who was far away in Australia, to see her displeasure. Strictly speaking, this was something that belonged to her job scope.
”Are you busy?” Surprisingly, Chu Jingnian's voice sounded the first on the other side of the video. The bright smile on Chu Yu's face when he was prepared to face Youzi froze on the corner of his mouth as he asked in confusion, ”No, I just returned to the hotel. ”What about grapefruit?”
In the past, whenever the video was picked up, it would always be his daughter calling Mommy's name. This time, she felt a little uncomfortable and also felt that it was a bit strange.
”Youzi had a fever last night, she went to the hospital and ate some medicine, then she retreated a little. She just fed the medicine again and fell asleep, the fever has already subsided.” The camera turned and caught Youzi sleeping on the small pink bed in her pajamas. There were also a few faint traces of tears on her face.
When Chu Yu saw his daughter's small face, his heart instantly softened. With reddened eyes, he asked, ”Why didn't you tell me last night?”
Previously, when he had taken care of Youzi by himself, she would cry from fever until she had to hug him. When she fed the medicine, she would have to suffer for a long time before being willing to drink it. When he thought about how his daughter was not by his side with a fever this time, but was still working abroad, Chu Yu felt extremely remorseful. When Youzi was in a bad mood, she would definitely want to stay by her side.
No, I must book the earliest flight back to Australia when I finish my work tomorrow.
”Don't cry, Youzi is fine now. I was afraid that it would affect your work the next day so I didn't call you. ”Work hard, and when you come back, Youzi will be healthy again.” Chu Jingnian comforted her gently.
Last night, when he had covered Youzi with the blanket in the middle of the night, he had accidentally touched her small hand and discovered that the temperature was frighteningly hot.
Chu Jingnian immediately thought back to when Youzi had eaten a few mouthfuls of food before feeding Youzi in the afternoon and stopped crying for no reason at all during the night. He thought that Youzi was acting out of temper, but who would have thought that she wouldn't express the discomfort she felt on her body at a young age?
By the time he returned from the hospital, it was already almost dawn. After thinking about it, he decided not to call Chu Yu as he hoped that she wouldn't delay her work by too much. Now it seemed that he made the right decision, and luckily the fever in Youzi had already passed.
Not long after hanging up the video, a message suddenly came out from his phone. Chu Yu thought that it was a message from Chu Jingnian, when he opened it, he saw that it was a message from an unfamiliar number.
She was so angry that she immediately blackened the number and deleted the text message. At the same time, she had to restrain herself from swearing when she called back.
It was noon in the sanatorium on the north side of the city. The doctors checked the ward and found the last VIP ward. The patient in this ward had to be discharged today, and there were some tests to be done before being discharged. That was why he had kept this ward until the end.
