"Don't worry, I'm a doctor and I know what to do."

Hey, I’m worried just because you’re a doctor!

Lao Fang shook his head, not daring to say what was in his mind, and slowly left the room.

When it was just him and Xuan'er, Join took Xuan'er's temperature while saying, "How did you get yourself into this state?"

Looking up weakly, Xuan'er said in a hoarse voice, "I was just about to ask you, I was fine, how did I suddenly get sick? Is there something wrong with the medicine you gave me?"

Looking at the thermometer indifferently, Join said, "Impossible, that medicine has no side effects and won't make your fever reach 39 degrees."

Looking at Join helplessly, Xuan'er murmured, "What's wrong with me? I've had colds before, but never felt this bad."

Join took out a stethoscope, listened carefully, and said, "At the moment, there's nothing wrong with your body. This sudden fever is probably caused by your low immunity. Kids your age are used to having fun outside. Staying in the room all day will definitely make them uncomfortable."

Looking at the ceiling, Xuan'er felt that this excuse was far-fetched and said, "You are not deliberately not treating me and want me to die, are you?"

If possible, Join really wanted to do so. However, since Xiao Jincheng already knew that he was treating Xuan'er, it would be even more troublesome if he died in his hands. There was no other way, Join could only diagnose and treat meticulously. Even if something happened, he would wait until Xuan'er was fully recovered.

Join took out an injection from the medicine box, prepared it skillfully, and injected it into Xuan'er's butt. Then he said, "It would be of no benefit to me if you died now. Instead of wasting time on idle thoughts, you might as well get some rest. You have no idea how arrogant Lilith has been recently. If you can't win the master's favor, I'm afraid you'll soon become food for the fish!"

Xuan'er wasn't afraid when he heard that. He just snorted softly and said, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'The higher you fly, the harder you fall?' Lilith is digging her own grave now, so let her dig deeper. That woman loves everything magnificent, including her grave!"

Join found it hard to imagine that such cold words would come from the mouth of a child. He glanced at Xuan'er and found that the child had his eyes closed and frowned slightly.

Looking down at his hand, Join found that the medicine had been injected, but the needle was still inside. No wonder the child looked in pain.

Quickly wiping the blood off with a cotton swab, Join said, "I hope you can live to see that day! Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow. Now get a good night's sleep and don't let your mind wander."

This time, Xuan'er closed his eyes obediently, and after a while, his breathing became shallow, as if he had fallen asleep.

After quietly watching Xuan'er for a while, Join realized that this child really looked like Xiao Mingyang. It was just a pity that they were born into such a family, destined to have an turbulent life.

After packing up his things, Join prepared to leave. But when he stood at the door and was about to open it, Xuan'er suddenly asked, "Are you having any distinguished guests today?"

Join was stunned, turned around, and asked with a deep look in his eyes: "How do you know this?"

Xuan Er lay in bed, eyes still closed, and said, "There were always people walking around outside today, and they kept talking about the Philip family and so on, so I guess there will be guests."

Hearing this, Join couldn't help but admire Xuan'er's cleverness and nodded, saying, "Indeed. But this has nothing to do with you anymore. Given your current condition, you're only suitable for rest. That's all I have to say. The rest depends on whether you listen to me or not."

After saying this, Join left without further delay.

After seeing Join leave, Lao Fang hurried to Xuan'er, looked at him nervously, and asked, "Xuan'er, what did Join say?"

Xuan Er smiled soothingly and said, "Join, what's wrong with me? I've just been stuck in my room lately and I'm bored. Grandpa Fang, don't worry about me. Join has already given me an injection. I'm so sleepy now and want to sleep for a while."

"Okay, Grandpa Fang won't bother you anymore. Go and get some rest."

Seeing Xuan'er slowly closing his eyes, Lao Fang still frowned.

Hey, you are a healthy child, why did you get sick all of a sudden?

Lao Fang shook his head, very confused.

After nightfall

Stepping off the extended Lincoln, Mr. Philip looked up at the magnificent Xiao Family Castle and exclaimed, "It really hasn't changed at all. That sycamore tree is still standing there. It makes me miss it so much!"

Hearing this, Lilith came forward with a smile and said, "If I remember correctly, the last time you came here was about five years ago. I didn't expect you to still remember the details of this place."

Mrs. Philip smiled at Lilith and said, "He had been dreaming about everything here before he came here, and now his dream has finally come true."

"Actually, things here haven't always stayed the same," Mr. Philip turned his head and smiled at Lilith. "You've changed a lot. Back then, you were still a young girl, but now, you've become a graceful lady. I'm sure many talented young men will fall for your beauty!"

Lilith's smile was a little stiff, but she just lowered her head, as if she was very shy.

It seems that Mr. Philip still doesn't know about her and Mingyang. If they knew that she was marrying a "fool", would they look down on her?

Such thoughts were like a little worm that drilled into Lilith's heart and soon bit her heart full of holes.

These days, Lilith is becoming more and more famous. She is no longer satisfied with having an unknown husband. She wants Xiao Mingyang to "recover" and she wants everyone to know that she has married a very outstanding man!

Seeing that Lilith was silent, Mr. Philip thought she was shy. He turned around and smiled at his wife, then said, "I've brought a friend with me this time. He's a very talented young man, handsome and humorous. If possible, maybe you two could become friends."

Lilith understood what Mr. Phillip meant; he was trying to set her up.

Lilith looked up and didn't directly refuse anything. She just said, "Being Mr. Philip's friend, he must have something special. I'm really looking forward to meeting him."

"If you have no objection, I hope he can stay with me during my stay at the Xiao family."

"Of course, Grandpa and I are both very hospitable people, so why would we mind?"

After hearing what Lilith said, Mr. Phillips was very happy. He turned around and said to the car: "Zhong, come here!"

Lilith's eyes were filled with a deep smile. She looked intently at the car door, looking very expectant. However, when Lilith saw the man's appearance clearly, she was completely stunned.
