Chapter 263 - Get better

"Mama, I'm all done!" Little Jade exclaimed after closing the lunchbox.

Fan Xiao Yao went and picked the lunch box from the table and placed it inside the bag together with the thermostat bottle.

The little boy couldn't wait for any second more and it was obvious in his eyes how eager he was to go and visit Little Snow.

Shi Enxi contacted Fan Xiao Yao and asked her if they could visit them. She was hoping that Little Jade's presence would make her son get better.

As they left their home together, upon arriving at the lobby of the building, they saw Huang Li entering.

"Papa!" Little Jade exclaimed with a grin as he began running towards him.

He blinked a few times upon seeing the boy rushing towards him. He even noticed Fan Xiao Yao following, walking to them.

The child hugged his father's leg and raised his head, "Is papa done from work?"

"Yes…" Huang Li trailed off before he turned his head to his wife, "Where are you going?"

"We're going to visit Xiao Xue since he has a fever." Fan Xiao Yao replied.

"Then I'll drive you to their place." He offered.

She shook her head a bit before saying, "You just came back from work, you should rest."

Little Jade nodded in agreement, "Papa must be tired. Don't worry papa, we'll be back soon."

He looked back at Little Jade, bending down to his level just so he could pick him up from the ground and carry the boy in his arms, "I'm not tired. Do I look tired?"

Little Jade nodded once again, "Yes! Papa has tired eyes!"

Fan Xiao Yao chuckled, "Xiao Yu is not blind you know. You can just get some rest at home, you don't have to be our driver."

"I'm a doctor, I can also check on Xiao Xue's condition." He reasoned out, insisting to take him with them.

"Papa can heal Didi?" Little Jade's eyes sparked. "Okay! Papa can come then!"

Fan Xiao Yao smiled helplessly and in the end, Huang Li went with them.

...

Meanwhile, in the Lu household...

Shi Enxi was sitting at the side of the bed, quietly staring at her sleeping son. They were the only people in the room. Her husband had to go back to the company to attend an urgent meeting.

A soft knock was suddenly heard, making her turn towards the door.

Since she didn't want to wake up her son, she stood up and quietly walked towards the door and open it only to see a maid standing outside.

"Madam, Mr., and Mrs. Huang are here." The maid informed.

"Alright." Shi Enxi took a small glance at her son before she left the room, shutting the door as softly as she could.

Arriving in the living room, she saw the family of three sitting on the sofa. The first person who saw her was Little Jade.

"Mama!" He jumped down the sofa and ran towards her.

A gentle smile appeared on Shi Enxi's lips as she leaned down a bit just so she could catch him in her arms. "Xiao Yu."

Fan Xiao Yao and Huang Li turned their heads and watched the two.

"I missed you, baby..." She hugged him a bit tight.

"I missed you too, mama." The boy hugged her back, missing her embrace. "Mama, how is didi?"

Shi Enxi leaned back a bit and another heavy sigh escaped her lips, "His condition is still bad."

"We brought food for Xiao Xue, has he eaten yet?" The other mother asked with a smile.

"He didn't eat much earlier at breakfast." She sighed. "I hope that he eats more this time."

"Can I go see didi?" 

"Of course, sweetie." Shi Enxi replied. "Although he is currently asleep."

"I won't wake him up, I promise!" Little Jade raised his hand a bit as if swearing that he would be quiet and not wake up his brother.

"It's okay if we wake him up now, it's time for lunch and he still has to drink his medicine." She then released him from her hug before she straightened her back and turned to Fan Xiao Yao, giving her a small smile. "Thank you for coming."

"We hope for Xiao Xue to get better soon." Fan Xiao Yao replied. She hoped that seeing Little Jade will help the other boy gain strength again.

"What did the doctor said about his condition?" Huang Li asked, just making sure that the case wasn't something serious.

"He said that it's just a fever." Another sigh escaped Shi Enxi's lips. How many times did she sigh already?

"How many days has it already?"

"Two days. Right now, his temperature has gone low but it has been going high every night. Also, I'm worried about his cough. He's been coughing and having a hard time breathing every night. I plan to bring him to the hospital later just to make sure."

"You should." He replied.

"Don't worry, mama. Papa is here. Papa said that he can help didi get better!" Little Jade said with a grin. "Don't worry, mama! Didi will get better!"

"Xiao Yu is right." Fan Xiao Yao followed. She walked towards her. She reached her hand forward to hold Shi Enxi's hand. "I'm sure that Xiao Xue will get better soon."

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! I will be updating 3 chapters as my Christmas gift for you all! Although today was another busy day so I will update the remaining 2 chapters tomorrow. I was supposed to have a one day break but I guess entertaining guests can be so tiring so I have to delay the 2 chapters and update it tomorrow. (T^T)

Once again, I apologize for not updating this December. I am preparing for my licensure exam that is scheduled for the second week of January. It is an important exam that's why I have to focus on studying for it first. I hope my dear readers can understand. I promise to update daily once again after my exam so for now, please wait a bit more. (T.T)
