After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

"Xuanxuan, stop looking, let's go!"

"But she..."

Zhuo Xuan hesitated as he looked at Yunyun in the water. A voice in his subconscious kept telling him that he couldn't just leave like this.

He subconsciously moved his feet toward the edge of the pool.

But as soon as he moved, his two companions grabbed his arms tightly.

"Xuanxuan, what are you doing? Do you want the adults to know about this so they'll spank us?"

"Just ignore her, she's a little beggar nobody wants."

"That's right, she jumped down herself, it has nothing to do with us."

"Let's go!"

The two little boys pulled Zhuo Xuan with all their might.

Zhuo Xuan's gaze remained fixed on Yunyun, his steps stiff and hesitant, unable to make a decision.

"Yunyun!"

Just as I was hesitating, a familiar exclamation suddenly rang in my ears.

A figure rushed past him.

Zhuo Xuan was stunned for a moment.

It's... Yan Niannian!

Yan Niannian looked anxious. With a splash, she jumped into the pool and rushed towards Yunyun.

"Yunyun, don't be afraid, Auntie is here."

Having caught Yunyun, Yan Niannian picked her up and quickly carried her ashore.

"Yunyun, let Auntie see how you are!" Yan Niannian's heart was clenched with worry, and her voice trembled uncontrollably.

While checking on Yunyun's condition, she patted her back vigorously.

I wanted her to vomit the dirty water out of her trachea.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

Yunyun coughed violently.

She was soaked to the bone, and her face was pale.

There was still mud and sand from the bottom of the pool in its mouth and nose.

She forced open her heavy eyelids, not wanting Yan Niannian to worry, and managed a weak smile.

"Aunt Niannian, look, the plate... I managed to save the plate."

One sentence made Yan Niannian feel heartbroken.

Tears almost welled up in my eyes.

She took a deep breath, her voice choked with emotion, "Silly child, no plate is more important than you. If you like it, Auntie will make you another one."

Why be so foolish?

"This is from my aunt...it's a gift from my aunt, it's very...important..."

After muttering something, Yunyun fainted in Yan Niannian's arms.

"Yunyun!"

Yan Niannian became anxious.

She picked up Yunyun, preparing to take her to the hospital.

As soon as Yan Niannian got up, she looked up and saw Zhuo Xuan standing not far away.

A pause in his steps.

Yan Niannian's face instantly darkened.

The gentleness of the past was gone from her cold eyes; all that remained was deep disappointment... and anger.

She was undoubtedly a failure as a mother.

I failed to teach him well.

She used to think that Zhuo Xuan was just spoiled, domineering, and somewhat arrogant.

But only now has she realized that his cold-heartedness and cruelty are exactly the same as Zhuo Yuchen's.

It's completely rotten.

It's hopeless.

Zhuo Xuan was stunned for a moment.

He bit his lip hard, forcibly suppressing the urge to cry.

He was actually a little panicked about how things had turned out this way.

If another mother came and saw her child like this, she would definitely feel heartbroken and immediately hug her child and comfort them softly.

What about Yan Niannian?

All she could see was that little beggar.

And now, she's glaring at him so fiercely!

snort!

She really doesn't deserve to be his mother.

"Let's go!" Suppressing his jealousy, Zhuo Xuan deliberately puffed out his chest and left with his two lackeys.

Yan Niannian quickly took Yunyun to the hospital.

……

When they arrived at the hospital, Yunyun was already completely unconscious.

Her chest heaved violently, and she was panting, struggling to breathe.

Her body was still burning hot.

Throughout the examination, Yan Niannian's heart was in her throat. Only when the doctor solemnly put down the stethoscope did Yan Niannian hurriedly ask, "Doctor, how is the child?"

"Aspiration pneumonia, bilateral lung infection."

"Is it... serious?" Yan Niannian subconsciously clenched her fist.

"Yes, the situation is not very optimistic. In addition, the child is too thin and somewhat malnourished, so his resistance is already weak and the course of the disease may be longer."

Yan Niannian's heart skipped a beat.

Perhaps seeing how bad her complexion was, the doctor softened his tone, "But you don't need to worry too much. The child will suffer a bit, but with proper treatment, he will recover completely."

"Put her on a ventilator first, and she'll stay in the intensive care unit for a while."

"Okay, thank you doctor."

Yunyun was taken to the intensive care unit.

Through the glass, Yan Niannian looked at that pale little face with concern.

Yunyun woke up once during this time.

She turned her head with difficulty, looked timidly at Yan Niannian, forced a smile, and tried her best to give her a flattering smile.

I was very scared.

This time, she caused trouble for Aunt Niannian.

Will Aunt Niannian despise her, hate her, and abandon her?

After all, that's how it used to be...

She didn't want to be abandoned again.

Yan Niannian's nose stung with tears.

She didn't know what Yunyun was thinking, but her current appearance and timid expression were truly heartbreaking.

To reassure her, Yan Niannian quickly waved to her through the glass.

At the same time, she gently mouthed to comfort her, "Yunyun, don't be afraid, Auntie is here! Auntie will protect you."

Yunyun's eyelids grew heavier and heavier until she fell into a deep sleep.

"call!"

Leaning against the wall, Yan Niannian let out a long sigh of relief.

but……

A dull ache settled in my heart; a feeling of stagnation lingered in my chest, impossible to dispel.

My heart is pounding.

Yunyun's every move touched her heart.

Even Yan Niannian herself didn't know why, but she had a strange sense of closeness to Yunyun, and would always subconsciously and uncontrollably want to care for her and pity her.

possible……

This is fate!

This time, Yunyun is so seriously ill, and she is so young, she must receive proper treatment.

That way, there won't be any long-term side effects.

but……

Yan Niannian frowned.

She herself didn't have much money, and the orphanage's budget was very tight; maintaining normal operations was already a struggle.

Where would we find the extra money to treat Yunyun's illness?

Zhuo Yuchen bears responsibility for the trouble caused by Zhuo Xuan.

Correct!

Ask him for medical expenses.

Having made up her mind, Yan Niannian left the hospital to go to the Zhuo Group.

Zhuo Yuchen, that workaholic, is probably still working overtime even though it's already past his off-duty time.

At the same time, another person was also preparing to go to the Zhuo Group to find Zhuo Yuchen.

That's Xu Fei.

She hasn't seen Zhuo Yuchen in the past two days.

Thinking about the subtle changes in his attitude towards me makes me extremely anxious.

What is Yan Niannian?

What can I compare myself to?

She was determined to show Zhuo Yuchen how good she was, to let him know that she was a thousand times, ten thousand times better than Yan Niannian.

Therefore, Xu Fei personally cooked the soup.

It was packed in an insulated container, ready to be brought to the Zhuo Group to warm Zhuo Yuchen's stomach.

Having learned from the experience of the receptionist Xiao Li last time, no one dared to stop Yan Niannian when she went to Zhuo's Group this time.

Yan Niannian had no trouble getting through and took the elevator directly to the president's office.
