132 Like Father Like Son (2/2)
Her head aches like hell and she feels like shit.
She couldn't get any sleep last night.
Hearing his mother groan, Su Yichen looks at her in concern.
”Mommy, you okay?” He asks and places a hand on her forehead.
She was burning hot.
”Mommy has a fever.” He exclaims and runs out of the room.
He comes back a few minutes later with a big bowl of warm water and a cloth.
He dips the cloth into the water, squeezes it and wipes her face.
”Feel better, mommy?”
Su Lian's mouth twitches.
The water is warm. How is she supposed to feel better when he's rubbing warm water on her? She's burning up she needs cold water.
Su Lian rubs his head and smiles. ”Yes, I feel much better. My little baby is a miracle worker.”
Su Yichen blushes and looks down in embarrassment.
”I'll go get you some soup.” He says and runs out of the room again.
The moment he leaves, Su Lian takes the warm cloth off her head calls Bella. ”I can't come in to work today, reschedule everything I have for tomorrow.”
Bella: ”Okay miss, Is there anything else?”
”No, just call me if there's an emergency.” Su Lian ends the call and Yichen returns with a tray of food.
There's a glass of water, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a bowl of canned alphabet soup.
”Breakfast. Eat it fast mommy.” Su Yichen places the tray on her lap and watches her intently. ”You should eat the soup first. It's good for sick people.”
Su Lian is stuck between laughter and tears.
Her heart feels warmed that her son is trying to take care of her but she can't eat this. The alphabet soup is supposed to be warmed in the microwave or on a stove top, but he just brought it as it is.
His look seems as if he's waiting for praise. She can't break his heart.
”I want to eat the sandwich first,” Su Lian picks up the peanut butter and jam sandwich and takes a big bite. ”Delicious. Baby, are you a chef?”
He blushes again and gets off her bed.
”Mommy needs to stay warm.” He takes the thick blanket that Han Yuan had put on her and she took off previously and drapes it over her.
Su Lian's expression turns dark.
It's too hot for this thing.
Don't tell her that he'll become an airhead like his dad.
