Sober and beautiful, my husband and son begged for my forgiveness on their knees.

In the end, Ning Yao still went to the hospital.

As soon as she arrived, she was called in by the doctor and given a lecture.

“The child is only five years old and just had surgery. How could he eat such spicy food? You parents are so careless! We caught it early and brought the fever down, but the inflammation in his body hasn't completely subsided. He might have a fever again tonight. You must pay close attention and take good care of him so that he can recover…”

After seeing the doctor off, Ning Yao immediately gave instructions to the two bodyguards who were standing guard like door gods.

"Go ask the nurse for some alcohol and ice packs; they'll be useful later."

One of the bodyguards immediately went to carry it out.

Alcohol and ice packs were brought quickly.

Ning Yao closed the door and dragged the sofa to the bedside. She had stayed up many nights taking care of Lu Mingjin in the past and knew his physical condition very well. He usually had a fever between two and three in the morning, so she set an alarm to go to sleep peacefully.

When the alarm clock rang, Ning Yao immediately sat up and, sure enough, heard Lu Mingjin humming.

She skillfully placed an ice pack on his forehead and then wiped his body with alcohol.

This busy activity lasted for an hour.

She checked Lu Mingjin's temperature, and it had gone down, so she knew he wouldn't have a fever anymore.

She lay back down on the sofa, about to fall asleep, when she heard Lu Mingjin talking in his sleep.

"Mom... feels unwell..."

Ning Yao tried to pretend she hadn't heard it, but the voice was like a demonic whisper, haunting her and impossible to shake off.

"I really owe you and your son a debt!"

She resignedly got up again and patted Lu Mingjin's back repeatedly.

Lu Mingjin's tightly furrowed brows, which had been furrowed due to discomfort, gradually relaxed.

He instinctively turned his face toward Ning Yao, and upon smelling her familiar scent, he unconsciously murmured something.

"Mother……"

Ning Yao looked at Lu Mingjin who had snuggled into her arms, and her feelings suddenly became complicated.

She used to take meticulous care of him, but he never showed her any affection in return. Now that she's left him, he's started to depend on her instead.

When the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it overflows.

Therefore, you can't be too nice to others; you have to leave some room for yourself.

Lu Jingmo's business trip was arranged at the last minute, and he thought it would be resolved quickly, but an accident happened. He arrived at the hospital at 4:30 a.m.

At this moment, all was quiet, even the usually bustling hospital was so quiet that only the lights were flickering on and off.

Lu Jingmo walked to the door of the ward and immediately saw Ning Yao and her son lying on the narrow hospital bed, leaning against each other.

The son's little hands gripped Ning Yao's clothes tightly, while Ning Yao naturally wrapped her arms around her son, as if afraid he would fall off the bed.

His heart was unexpectedly touched by this scene, and a shallow warmth welled up inside him.

My tired body seemed to find comfort.

He quickly noticed that Ning Yao's bandage on her right hand seemed to be bleeding, so he immediately went over and picked her up in his arms.

He was taken aback by the hug.

The two were almost never close after their marriage. Moreover, Ning Yao became sharp-tongued and combative after the divorce, and he never knew she was so petite.

A strange emotion quietly spread through my heart.

Ning Yao vaguely felt a tingling sensation on her face. She thought it was a mosquito, but when she reached out to grab it, she actually grasped something fleshy.

She opened her eyes abruptly and was startled to see a round, chubby face. Her brain froze for several seconds before it started functioning normally.

"Lu Mingjin, what were you doing on my face just now?"

"I do not have."

Ning Yao didn't believe it, so she got up and looked in the mirror to make sure her face was clean and free of any imperfections before she felt relieved.

Lu Mingjin sat on the sofa angrily and snorted, "You're so stingy! I already told you, why are you still looking in the mirror!"

Seeing that he was still angry, Ning Yao snorted twice, mimicking his tone, "You woke up and weren't lying in bed, but instead you were sneaking around next to me. Who else would I suspect if not you?"

When Lu Mingjin saw that she was actually mimicking his humming, and even humming twice, he immediately stood up with his hands on his hips. "I wasn't sneaking around! If Dad hadn't told me that you took care of me all night, I wouldn't have gone to the sofa to check on you!"

He turned his head away angrily.

He was actually a little touched just now, but now that feeling is completely gone.

If his useless mother doesn't coax him, he really will never talk to her again!

Ning Yao could see what her son, who was selling barbecued pork, was up to, but she didn't take it seriously and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

When Lu Jingmo returned from a phone call, he saw his son glaring angrily in the direction of the bathroom, completely bewildered.

"Mingjin, what are you doing?"

Lu Mingjin immediately complained to him, "Dad, Mom just wronged me and called me sneaky! My kindergarten teacher said that's a way of describing bad people. I'm not a bad person, and I want Mom to apologize to me!"

Lu Jingmo only slept for an hour last night and felt a little dizzy. Hearing his words, he couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Ning Yao overheard Lu Mingjin complaining in the bathroom, and she slowly walked out.

"I knew you'd turn your back on me, but I didn't expect you to do it so quickly. You deliberately woke me up and scared me, and now you're the one blaming me!"

Lu Mingjin was furious, shaking Lu Jingmo's hand incessantly, "Dad, did you hear that! She not only thinks I'm bad, but she also calls me a villain! You have to make her apologize to me right now, or else... or else I'll lie on the ground and not get up!"

As he spoke, he released Lu Jingmo's hand and cleverly found a carpeted spot to lie down.

This was his usual tactic for forcing Ning Yao to submit.

Because every time he went there, his father would get angry and scold him.

But this time Ning Yao didn't let him have his way. Before Lu Jingmo could speak, she pointed to a spot on the carpet and exclaimed dramatically, "Oh dear, there seems to be something over there, dark and furry. Good heavens, how scary! Could it be a rat?!"

Lu Mingjin, who had just happily lay down and was staring at her as she gave in, jumped up as soon as she heard this.

She cried as she climbed onto Lu Jingmo.

"Daddy, hold me! I'm scared!"

Seeing his tearful appearance, Ning Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lu Jingmo hadn't expected to face such chaos so early in the morning, and the veins on his forehead bulged instantly.

Seeing Ning Yao's bright and cheerful smile, he took a deep breath and barely managed to suppress his anger.

"Ning Yao, why are you arguing with a five-year-old child?"

Ning Yao stopped laughing and looked coldly at the father and son. "Which law says I can't argue with a five-year-old child? Or is it that your Lu family has special privileges that allow you to be above the law?"

Lu Jingmo's suppressed anger swelled instantly, and his brows furrowed tightly. "You know that's not what I meant."

"I don't have mind-reading abilities, how would I know if it's you or not? Besides, I don't care." Ning Yao walked to the sofa, picked up her coat, and said nonchalantly, "Now that you're back, Lu Mingjin is yours to take care of. From now on, whether there's something to do or not, try to contact each other as little as possible."

Lu Jingmo's face instantly darkened.

"Yaoyao, what are you doing here? You didn't stay here all night, did you?"

Ning Yan's voice echoed relentlessly.

Ning Yao felt annoyed and was about to retort when she heard an even more unlucky sound.
