Shen Zhiye said a lot of sweet words to Xie Manman, swearing that he only loved her and Yuanyuan, and only then did he coax Xie Manman into submission and set off to Wei Jing's residence.
"Aye! You're finally here!" Wei Jing's eyes were red and tearful. Seeing Shen Zhiye was like seeing a god descending to the world. She rushed over and hugged him, "Nannan is very ill. I'm so scared..."
Shen Zhiye originally wanted to push her away, but when he heard her words, he felt that it was pitiful for her to face her sick daughter alone, so he did not push her away. Instead, he gently patted her back as a comfort.
After a while, when Wei Jing finally calmed down, Shen Zhiye asked her, "How is Nannan now? Take me to see her."
Wei Jing then wiped her tears, took Shen Zhiye's hand and brought him into her room. Nannan was lying on her big bed, her eyes were closed and her little face was red, which looked abnormal.
"Why is she so seriously ill?" Shen Zhiye was shocked, stretched out his hand to touch Shi Chu's face, and found that it was very hot, and said quickly, "No, she has a serious fever, she must be sent to the hospital immediately."
"I, I just gave her antipyretic medicine. Maybe the fever will go away after a while. We don't need to go to the hospital, right?" Wei Jing made her daughter sick just because she wanted to spend more time alone with Shen Zhiye. If she sent her daughter to the hospital, how could she and Shen Zhiye be alone together
Therefore, she didn't want to go to the hospital at all. As for whether her daughter's fever would subside? If it didn't subside, would her daughter become a fool? She didn't care at all. If her daughter became a fool, it would be better. In this way, Shen Zhiye would not abandon them and her daughter. He would have to spend more time and energy on them.
"No, her face is red and taking antipyretics won't necessarily reduce the fever." Although Shen Zhiye had no feelings for Wei Jing, he still had some feelings for his own daughter, so he ignored Wei Jing's objection and quickly carried his daughter downstairs to the hospital.
Wei Jing was reluctant to miss the time with Shen Zhiye, so she had to grit her teeth and follow.
Shi Chu was quickly sent to the Children's Hospital. The doctor took her temperature and asked sternly after seeing the number on the thermometer, "Why did you wait until her fever reached this level before sending her to the hospital? If you had waited any longer, she would have become an idiot. Can you as a parent pay more attention to your child?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." Wei Jing's eyes turned red as she heard this, tears rolling down her cheeks. She cried like a pear blossom in the rain and apologized guiltily, "It's all my fault as a mother. I thought giving her antipyretic medicine would be enough..."
Seeing her crying so hard and looking like she loved her daughter dearly, the doctor had to shut up. Shen Zhiye originally wanted to blame her, but seeing her like this, he felt that he should not be too harsh on her. After all, as a mother, she was the saddest person when her child was sick.
After a lot of trouble, Shi Chu finally got the medicine hung up and it took more than an hour for his temperature to go down.
Shi Chu had actually woken up a long time ago, but she did not open her eyes and continued to pretend to be unconscious.
At this time, her body temperature had dropped, so Wei Jing put her mind on Shen Zhiye again: "Aye, Nannan hasn't seen you for a long time. She misses you very much. She cried for her daddy when she was sick. I felt sad when I heard it..."
When Shen Zhiye heard her words, he immediately felt guilty. Although Nannan's birth was just an accident and not what he expected, she was his biological daughter after all, and he felt sorry for her.
So he held Shi Chu's small hand and said, "I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to visit her. When I'm done with this busy period, I'll spend more time with her."
After hearing this, Wei Jing was immediately delighted, and then continued: "Nannan went to kindergarten to meet other children. After returning home, she often asked me why her father didn't live with us? Did her father not like Nannan? I didn't know how to answer her at that time... She actually always hoped that her home could be like other children's homes, with a father and a mother at home, who loved her and would eat and play with her every day..."
Wei Jing was getting more and more aggressive, but Shen Zhiye suddenly came to his senses, and the guilt he felt towards his daughter almost disappeared. He said, "It is me as a father who is sorry for Nannan, but we are different from other families. If you explain it to her clearly in the future, she will understand. She has always been very smart and sensible. Besides, there are so many children from divorced parents and single-parent families now, aren't they living well?"
Shen Zhiye did have some feelings for his daughter, but only a little bit, not much. After all, in his heart, Yuanyuan, the son born to him by Xie Manman, was his most beloved child, and Nannan could not compare to Yuanyuan.
After hearing what he said, Wei Jing almost couldn't hold back the tearful expression on her face. She secretly hated Xie Manman for being so cunning and bewitching Shen Zhiye so much that she didn't even have the slightest chance for her.
She wanted to continue to use her daughter's name to attack Shen Zhiye indirectly, but suddenly Shen Zhiye called out in surprise: "Nannan, are you awake?"
Shi Chu opened his eyes, saw the surprised Shen Zhiye, and called softly: "Dad."
This father is actually irresponsible. Although he behaves like a good father now, when the original owner fell ill more frequently and the fact that Wei Jing made her sick to win favor was exposed, Shen Zhiye even hated the original owner's daughter. He felt that she and her biological mother Wei Jing were birds of a feather and were not good people. So he no longer loved her and was only willing to pay a little living expenses every month and never visited her again.
Wei Jing took her anger out on the original owner because of this and tortured her body even more severely. Even though Shen Zhiye knew about it, he only warned her, but did not separate the original owner and Wei Jing or find someone else to raise her. Instead, he let her stay with Wei Jing and be tortured.
Maybe he also felt that the original owner's daughter was a thorn between him and Xie Manman, and her existence prevented their relationship from being complete. After all, how could a living illegitimate daughter not be an eyesore
Shen Zhiye might even hope that Wei Jing would torture the original owner to death, so that this thorn would disappear completely, Wei Jing would be convicted and imprisoned, and then he, Xie Manman and Yuanyuan would be a perfect family of three, and from then on there would be no annoying existence to prick their eyes.
But what crime did the original owner commit? She could not choose her birth, nor could she choose who would be her parents. If possible, she would not want to be born as a tool, used by her mother, hated by her father, and finally die miserably with injuries all over her body.
