Chapter 344 - Only One Brother? (1/2)

Shen Luo wiped away the sweat on his forehead and shook his head. “I don’t know. Let’s wait and see. But he will be fine if he doesn’t vomit the medicine.”

He was still worried and then told a young assistant to decoct the medicinal herbs as he did just now. Then he told the wet nurse, “Stay with him. Feed him medicine if he vomits again. No matter what happens, we have to make him take in medicine.”

The wet nurse’s family name was Guo, and she was hired by Mo Junyang, so she naturally acted upon whatever Shen Luo said. “I see.”

Shen Luo turned his head, to see that Shi Qingxue looked pale and her thin and weak body trembled slightly with fear or worry.

“My Lady, you didn’t sleep last night. Go and have a rest for a while,” Shen Luo advised in a soft voice.

Shi Qingxue responded without raising her head, “I am fine. Doctor Shen, if you are tired, just have a rest in a guest room, but please stay in this villa till Qingmin recovers.”

Shen Luo naturally had no objection. When he wanted to persuade Shi Qingxue to have a rest, Mo Junyang walked in.

Shen Luo instantly understood that he had no say here, so he quickly put away the things in his medical kit and got up to leave.

Not until Mo Junyang walked to her did Shi Qingxue notice the comer.

She raised her head slightly and looked at the man’s eyes with concern. Then tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably at once.

“Junyang…” Qingxue hugged the man’s waist and buried her face in his belly. “I am afraid.”

The sobbing voice showed Shi Qingxue’s frailty.

She was really afraid that her brother would die.

Mo Junyang hugged Shi Qingxue and almost locked her up in his arms. “Don’t be afraid. I am here.”

He held Qingxue’s face and wiped away the tears on it. Then he kissed her forehead gently without sexual desire.

Mo Junyang didn’t advise Shi Qingxue to have a rest in her room but sat on the bedside with her and then embraced her.

“Luo will surely cure your brother, so don’t worry. Have a rest…”

His voice was like the softest sedative in the world and entered Shi Qingxue’s ears, bringing her to a sound sleep.

Mo Junyang quietly looked at the girl in his arms. There were still tears on her pale face, and she looked pitiful and fragile.

However, he knew that Shi Qingxue was not vulnerable.

She was dignified even when she faced death in the previous life.

So she acted like this because she trusted and depended on him?

Mo Junyang thought with uncertainty yet got happy inevitably.

“Qingxue…”

The man’s murmur was mixed in the silent air and then disappeared.

Shen Luo deserved to be a miracle-working doctor, and his superb medical skills brought Shi Qingmin back to life again.

Even so, since Shi Qingmin moved to the Lanxun Villa, he suffered from serious diseases or minor illnesses all the time.

Although it was not as breathtaking as the first night, he had a fever or vomited from time to time, which was scary and made the people looking after him exhausted.

There were many servants in the Lanxun Villa, and later Mo Junyang found some experienced servants to help them.

Logically, Shi Qingxue wouldn’t be tired except being frightened.

However, something troublesome happened.

Shi Qingxue had fed Shi Qingmin sugar water in person once when the wet nurse was not free.

She wasn’t good at taking care of a baby, and the process was in turmoil before she finally fed Shi Qingmin to appetite, so she heaved a sigh of relief.

However, in the next days, Shi Qingmin seemed to recognize Shi Qingxue, and he would open his mouth only when she fed him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t eat anything.

This little baby’s method of protesting was different from the hateful babies’. He didn’t cry or make a scene. He only kept his mouth shut and looked at her with his big bright eyes till she had no choice but to get soft-hearted and make a concession.

Shi Qingxue served the baby in person for half a month and finally made him fatter.

“Is there nothing wrong when he only drinks sugar water instead of milk?”

Only Shi Qingxue who was inexperienced allowed a baby less than one month old to drink sweet sugar water instead of milk all day long.

Shen Luo shrugged. “We have no choice. He will throw up after eating milk, so he has to sustain life depending on sugar water. When he can eat paste, it will be better.”

Even though the sugar water Shi Qingmin drank was specially made by Shen Luo, it was not easy for him to grow up if he only drank it.

“Great.”

Shi Qingxue finally got relieved and couldn’t help but gently pinch Shi Qingmin’s cheek with some flesh, saying with a smile, “After one month, you have finally gained some weight. It’s a pity that you are still like a noble lady and don’t talk.”

Perhaps habit made things natural. When Shi Qingxue saw the birthmark on little Qingmin’s face, she wasn’t scared. Moreover, she would caress his face without a frown, even though he was still ugly.

Nevertheless, the little baby who was one-month old had never made a sound. If Shen Luo didn’t say that Qingmin’s vocal cords were fine, Shi Qingxue would worry that he was dumb.

“He has suffered a lot. I just hope that his life in the future will be easier.”

As soon as Shi Qingxue finished her words, a servant came in to report that the Shi family sent somebody to see her.

Qingxue was joyful. “Did Father tell somebody to take us back to the mansion as Mother recovers?”

She got up and walked out quickly.
