Jiang Mian realized that the child probably didn't mean that.

But just then, a soft, suppressed laugh came from the doorway.

Jiang Mian and Lu Chaochi both looked towards the door.

Then Song Xu walked in from the doorway, raising his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it just happened."

Just as Jiang Mian was about to greet him, she saw the handsome man walk in with Song Xu.

Lu Bozhou held a small envelope in his hand and handed it to Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian was a little nervous, worried that this was some kind of compensation or severance pay.

So she didn't answer.

Lu Bozhou placed the envelope in front of her. "Song Xun brought this back for you; it's your SIM card."

Hearing this, Jiang Mian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, President Lu."

Lu Bozhou remained noncommittal, only glancing down at Lu Chaochi before asking, "How long are you staying?"

Lu Chaochi turned his head, his big eyes staring straight at him, his gaze full of expectation.

"Can I stay with Mianmian a little longer?"

Lu Bozhou said, "I'm going to Song Xu's clinic. I'll come pick you up later."

After Lu Bozhou finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the ward.

After he left the ward, Lu Chaochi looked at Song Xu.

After thinking for a moment, she asked seriously, "Uncle Song, is my dad sick again?"

Upon hearing Lu Chaochi's words, Jiang Mian's heart skipped a beat.

Is he sick?

And what does it mean to be "sick again"?

Song Xu walked over, ruffled Lu Chaochi's hair, and laughed, "No, kid, don't worry unnecessarily. You're worried about Jiang Mian, and you're worried about your dad too. Can you manage all that?"

Song Xu smiled and looked at Jiang Mian, pointing to the ear thermometer on the bedside table.

"Take the child's temperature and check it. He has a low-grade fever due to stress from being frightened. If it exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, ask the nurse to give him some fever-reducing medicine."

"Ah, okay." Jiang Mian then realized that Xiao Shitou actually had a low-grade fever!

After Song Xu left, Jiang Mian pulled Xiao Shitou along and used an ear thermometer to take his temperature.

I was relieved to see that his temperature was not high.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Is your father sick?"

Jiang Mian didn't know why she was curious, but she just couldn't help being curious.

“My dad was sick for a while before. He often had to come to the hospital to see Uncle Song.”

Lu Chaochi thought for a moment and then said, "So Uncle Song is actually Dad's attending physician. He only takes care of me as a side effect."

Jiang Mian originally wanted to ask what kind of illness it was.

But then she thought it over and realized there was no need to ask so much, since Lu Bozhou didn't trust her anyway.

If they find out later that she inquired so much, they might think she has ulterior motives.

Jiang Mian's "frog hands" and "chicken coop hands" are so bad that she can't even insert a SIM card into a phone.

But Lu Chaochi was very quick and helped her install and turn on the machine.

The new phone runs very smoothly.

The commonly used software was downloaded in no time.

Jiang Mian immediately saw a push notification for a local news article.

Upon seeing the person in the title image, Jiang Mian quickly clicked on it.

Even with the eyes blurred, she could recognize the face at a glance—it belonged to the bodyguard who had kidnapped them.

However, at this moment, his face was almost swollen like a pig's head.

If Jiang Mian hadn't hated him so much that she'd recognize him even if he were ashes, she probably wouldn't have been able to recognize his face so easily.

And his hand! It looks much more serious than hers!

The news report indicates that he voluntarily surrendered himself to the police and confessed to the crime.

He admitted that he kidnapped a businessman's young child and nanny out of a desire for revenge.

The nanny was seriously injured while protecting the child, so she turned herself in.

However, the content made no mention of why he was injured in such a way.

However, there were quite a few truth-tellers in the comments below.

[The editor would like to write about why he was injured so badly.]

[Yeah, so everyone can vent their anger. Damn it, if you're unhappy with a businessman, why don't you kidnap him? What kind of person bullies women and children like this?!]

Let's guess why he became like this?

I hope the nanny and the child are alright.

[Does the fact that it only states the nanny was seriously injured mean the child was protected and is safe?]

Jiang Mian stared blankly, but Lu Chaochi looked over. Jiang Mian didn't want the child to see that bad man's face again.

So I turned off the phone screen.

My heart was pounding uncontrollably.

Although Jiang Mian didn't want to think about it intentionally, she couldn't help but think about it.

Was this Lu Bozhou's doing?

Is he avenging her and Little Stone?

Jiang Mian felt a sense of relief.

How could she not hate?

She still has nightmares at night, in which her son's hands are tied to the pressure plate.

The terrifying scene of her being unable to do anything.

Jiang Mian stayed in the hospital for several days, and Lu Chaochi would come every other day.

So she didn't find being hospitalized too difficult.

Jiang Yu and Qin Yanhuai both sent flowers.

On the small cards on the two flower baskets, Jiang Yu's vigorous handwriting and Qin Yanhuai's slender, elegant calligraphy both read "Get well soon."

Finally, Song Xu said she could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.

This evening.

An uninvited guest arrived in the ward.

"Oh, I heard you were badly injured, so I came here specifically to check on you."

Lin Sisi walked to Jiang Mian's bedside.

After giving her a rude once-over, he sneered.

He said, "It doesn't seem that serious to me. You wouldn't be pretending to be badly injured to try and get something in return, would you?"

Jiang Mian looked up at her and said, "Miss Lin, this is a hospital."

"I know, that's why I came to visit someone who is sick."

Lin Sisi didn't take it seriously, assuming that Jiang Mian was only reminding her that this was a hospital because she wanted her to keep quiet or leave.

"Then you should know that I don't have Miss Lin's ability to fake illness and injury in the hospital. Doctors are too busy to play along with my act."

Jiang Mian and Meng Yang have a good relationship, and they've been bored in the hospital these past few days.

I chatted with Meng Yang for quite a few days and learned some gossip and rumors.

Lin Sisi would often pretend to be sick or injured before going to work, thus establishing a persona of being dedicated to her job.

Fans might not know this, but the paparazzi do.

Jiang Mian's words struck a nerve with Lin Sisi.

Her expression instantly changed from contempt to ferocity.

"What did you say?! You dare to slander me?! Do you believe I'll sue you for defamation and spreading rumors?!"

Jiang Mian's expression remained calm. "It's just hearsay. Miss Lin, you may not know, but I worked part-time as a paparazzi for a while because I was short of money."

Upon hearing those last three words, Lin Sisi's eyes, adorned with exquisite eye makeup, suddenly widened, her gaze filled with shock.

"It's just taking photos to make money. I don't earn much, but I hear a lot of rumors and gossip." Jiang Mian raised an eyebrow.

Lin Sisi pointed at her, initially not believing much of what she was saying, and was about to scold her for talking nonsense.

But then I thought, if Jiang Mian wasn't a paparazzi, how could she have been so well-informed at the banquet that day?! She snatched the prize from her!

I believed it completely right away!
