Chapter 209 - 115: Mili Has a Fever

Chapter 209: Chapter 115: Mili Has a Fever

At this point, Jiang Wanyi couldn’t dwell on it too much.

She followed Chen Yuan to the community hospital, and this trip became an intimate secret between the two of them.

"Be a good girl, Mili. Daddy’s going to put on your mask," Chen Yuan said, standing by the door.

Little Mili stayed perfectly still in Chen Yuan’s arms, not even crying or fussing as he put the mask on her.

Jiang Wanyi recalled the last time Mili got a vaccination. She definitely hadn’t been this cooperative about wearing a mask back then.

Sigh...

’Looks like she’s going to be Chen Yuan’s little darling from now on, and I’ll have nothing to do with it,’ she thought.

She took the baby’s vaccination booklet and went up to the second floor, where three other sets of parents were already in line.

The second floor was filled with the sounds of crying children, like a pig butchering hall during the New Year.

"Why don’t you wait in line here? I’ll take the baby and stand off to the side."

Jiang Wanyi understood Chen Yuan’s reasoning. He didn’t want to bring the baby into a crowd and risk her catching something.

Chen Yuan’s attentiveness was something Jiang Wanyi had always appreciated about him.

Even though he could be hasty and reckless at times, failing to think things through, he was always meticulous and considerate when it came to Mili.

’He doesn’t seem to be this way with me, though,’ she mused.

Hmph!

The vaccination line moved quickly, and after just a few minutes, it was Little Mili’s turn.

Jiang Wanyi handed over the vaccination booklet.

"She’s here for the meningitis vaccine, the second dose."

The nurse first looked at the booklet, then glanced at the records on her computer.

"Chen Yuhe, is that right?"

"Yes."

"WAAAH!"

Before the nurse could even take out the needle, Little Mili burst into tears with a loud wail.

Humans are social creatures and easily influenced by their environment.

Even though the needle wasn’t out yet, it was as if she thought, ’Other babies are crying, so I can’t just sit here. I should join in for a sob or two.’

When the nurse finally did take out the needle, Little Mili seemed to realize something was wrong and began to cry even louder.

Jiang Wanyi stepped forward, cooing at the baby while pulling down her clothes from her shoulder.

"Be a good girl, Mili. It won’t hurt at all."

"Mili, look what Daddy has in his hand!"

Chen Yuan pulled a small, ping-pong-ball-sized rubber duck from his pocket. The moment Mili saw it, her attention was instantly captured.

Chen Yuan shot the nurse a look. She understood immediately and administered the shot.

The vaccine needle was very small and didn’t cause much pain. Little Mili only reacted after it was already over.

Chen Yuan immediately carried her out of the room to avoid holding up the others and to have space to comfort her.

The remaining administrative work could be left to Jiang Wanyi.

"The baby is nine months old now, right?"

Jiang Wanyi nodded. "She’ll be ten months soon."

"Next is the chickenpox vaccine, scheduled for February 20th. Does that work for you?"

"That should be fine. Let’s set it for that date for now," Jiang Wanyi said.

She was free at the moment and had no major family events coming up, so her schedule was flexible.

"If anything comes up, just call in advance. A few days earlier or later is fine," the nurse said.

"Okay."

After the shot was done and the nurse gave a few more instructions, Jiang Wanyi left.

Out in the hallway, Chen Yuan had already managed to soothe the baby, but her eyes were still a little red and her little mouth was pouting pitifully.

At the same time, a notification appeared.

[Mission Complete: Reward 1,900 yuan in cash, Professional-Grade Human Cub First-Aid Skills]

This was a pretty good reward.

At Mili’s age, problems could crop up frequently. For example, a moment of carelessness while she was eating could be dangerous.

It was like he always said: if he could just use it once, this reward would be more valuable than all the others combined.

"It’s so much easier with you here. The last time I brought her, she cried her little heart out."

"You have to have faith in my skills."

"Very impressive," Jiang Wanyi said with a smile. "The timing is perfect. Let’s go to the hospital now and have the doctor take a look at you."

"Comrade Jiang Wanyi, keep your voice down! This place is full of people. Anyone who doesn’t know better will think there’s really something wrong with me," Chen Yuan said through gritted teeth.

"Sorry, I forgot."

Jiang Wanyi giggled. "I’ll be quieter from now on."

"This isn’t about being quiet or not. You can’t say it at all anymore."

"Fine, fine, fine. I’ll listen to you. I won’t say it again."

Jiang Wanyi wore a mischievous smile. The more she looked at Chen Yuan, the more interesting she found him.

Carrying the baby, the two of them walked out of the community hospital.

RING RING RING—

Jiang Wanyi’s phone rang. It was a call from her mother.

"Mom."

"Are you done with the vaccination? Did the baby cry?"

"She cried a little, but she’s fine now. Don’t worry," Jiang Wanyi said lightly.

"Hurry back. Dinner’s almost ready."

"I still have something to do, so I’ll be back a little later. You and Dad go ahead and eat first."

"How can we eat before you and the baby are back? Just come home quickly. Don’t wander around outside. The viruses out there are nasty; you don’t want the baby to catch a cold."

"Alright, I know."

After hanging up, she put her phone aside and drove to the hospital.

"Was that your mom telling you to hurry back?"

Jiang Wanyi nodded. "It won’t take long. Let’s get you checked out first."

"The way you say that makes it sound like there’s really something wrong with me."

"Hahaha..."

Jiang Wanyi laughed with abandon, her chest shaking.

"There’s no one else around. I’m the only one who needs to know if there’s a problem or not. In any case, you’re going for a checkup today. You’re definitely not getting out of it."

Chen Yuan: "..."

Seeing Chen Yuan fall silent, Jiang Wanyi felt another urge to laugh.

’He talks a big game, saying a man over 25 is like one who’s 60 and acting like he doesn’t care, but deep down, he’s actually very concerned, isn’t he?’

Soon, she pulled up to the hospital.

Since it was a weekday afternoon, the hospital wasn’t too crowded. Plus, their timing was perfect—there were only two people ahead of them, so they wouldn’t have to wait long.
