A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Chapter 15: Took care for them for a whole night

Zhuang Qingxiang had seen the clinic when she went out for a stroll during the day, but she didn't know if it was open at night.

Worried about her three children and a patient at home, she ran until she could barely breathe, but the clinic door was tightly closed.

Zhuang Qingxiang was at a loss.

She didn't know where to find a doctor.

Going to the county hospital is not practical either.

Zhuang Qingxiang had no choice but to rush back, and she was covered in sweat late at night.

She went inside to check on the children, and found them sleeping soundly, just as when she left. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief before coming out to check on the patient in the small bed.

He was still curled up in that same position, his body temperature burning hot.

Zhuang Qingxiang had no other choice but to rely on her experience in taking care of children, so she brought over a basin of warm water to help Lu Congyue wipe down and cool him down.

However, just as the towel in her hand touched the man's forehead, the man suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand to grab her wrist, and sprang up like a cheetah, attacking and pinning her to the ground as if she were an enemy.

The whole thing probably only took a few seconds. Zhuang Qingxiang didn't even have time to scream before she was pinned to the ground.

"Director Lu!" she called out hurriedly in a low voice, "It's me, I'm Zhuang Qingxiang, your family's nanny, please let me go."

The man did not answer. Zhuang Qingxiang felt a weight on her body as he pressed down on her, making her unable to move.

Zhuang Qingxiang desperately turned her head to look behind her, but due to the limited space, she could barely see Lu Congyue's expression even though her neck was about to break. She could only feel the incredibly hot body pressing down on her.

She even had the illusion that he was afraid she would run away, so he was pressing down on her with such force that it seemed he was trying to squeeze his whole body into hers.

"Director Lu, wake up! You're crushing me!" Zhuang Qingxiang was so suffocated by the weight that she couldn't breathe.

There was no response, only the head slumped heavily onto her shoulder, and the sound of heavy breathing.

Zhuang Qingxiang was finally able to see Lu Congyue's face. His eyes were tightly closed; had he fainted on her body?

Zhuang Qingxiang secretly groaned, like a turtle whose shell had been pressed down, desperately kicking her limbs, using all her strength to finally lift the person off her.

"Phew..." She sat up and let out a heavy sigh.

Oh no! Director Lu is delirious from his illness and is still lying on the ground, and she can't move him at all.

Zhuang Qingxiang had no other choice but to take the thin mattress off the wire bed and drag it under Lu Congyue, then continue to wipe him down to cool him down.

This time, Lu Congyue didn't have a sudden stress reaction, but...

Zhuang Qingxiang's gaze swept over Lu Congyue's lower body, and she couldn't help but look at him again and again.

She knew what that place was, but she didn't quite understand. Could a man become like this when he had a fever?

Looking at Lu Congyue's face again, he was already unconscious, how could he still...

Realizing what she was looking at, Zhuang Qingxiang's cheeks flushed instantly. She quickly looked away and pretended not to see anything as she continued with her work.

Wipe your face, neck, armpits, palms and soles...

Zhuang Qingxiang dared not touch any other places. Besides wiping him constantly, she also helped him drink more water until she felt Lu Congyue's body temperature drop. Only then did she doze off for a while.

Lu Congyue sensed something was wrong even before he opened his eyes.

My body feels wrong, I'm lying in the wrong place, and the breath I'm breathing is off.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a fair-skinned and beautiful woman.

Her bangs were messy and sticking up, revealing her smooth forehead and delicate eyebrows that she had always kept hidden. I wonder what she would look like when her closed eyes opened.

Her skin was fair but not pale; it was more like warm, smooth white jade, which made her lips appear even more like cinnabar.

She sat on the floor, leaning against the wire bed, her clothes askew, revealing a patch of her collarbone and a glimpse of her slender, white waist. The clothes were stretched high, with gaps between the buttons, and the air was filled with the scent of milk...

Lu Congyue abruptly looked away, only to find himself lying on the ground, with a military green mattress haphazardly spread beneath him.

What happened last night?

Lu Congyue's face was ashen; the more he recalled, the uglier his expression became.

Although he couldn't remember exactly what he did, he clearly remembered pressing down on a soft, warm body...

Damn it, I was caught off guard and fell into a trap!

A cunning enemy agent!

Just as Lu Congyue was about to wake the person, he heard a baby crying from the inner room.

Zhuang Qingxiang, who was originally asleep, was suddenly turned on as if a switch had been flipped, and she hurriedly got up after opening her eyes.

With one on the bed and the other on the floor, Zhuang Qingxiang was thrown at Lu Congyue before she could even stand up.

Two muffled groans, one from a man and one from a woman, rang out simultaneously on the ground.

Zhuang Qingxiang was completely distraught. She had fallen, and the spot where her face hit the ground was just...awful.

"Sorry! Sorry!"

Zhuang Qingxiang struggled for a while before finally standing up. Without even looking at Lu Congyue's expression, she rushed into the inner room.

Both children were crying at the same time, and she was in a panic.

Outside, Lu Congyue was completely exasperated.

This woman doesn't look fat, but how much fat does she actually have...?

Zhuang Qingxiang changed the baby's diaper and then quickly breastfed the baby.

Little Qian Yue rubbed her eyes and sat up, suddenly asking worriedly, "Mom, why is your face so red?"

Zhuang Qingxiang was not only blushing, she was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Why do I always run into bad luck whenever I run into Director Lu?

She was even lying down just now...

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Little Qian Yue touched her forehead with her small hand. "Mommy, my face is so hot. Are you sick?"

"No..." Zhuang Qingxiang's face flushed even more at the thought that Lu Congyue was still outside and could hear them talking. She coughed twice and said, "Maybe... a little. Your Uncle Lu had a fever last night, and Mother might have gotten a little infected while taking care of him, cough cough..."

fever?

Lu Congyue touched his forehead; his temperature was normal.

He has always been in good health and hasn't even caught a cold in recent years, yet she says he has a fever?

My gaze swept over the washbasin, towel, teacup...

Lu Congyue was stunned.

He thought someone had indeed been wiping him down to cool him down last night, but he thought he was dreaming.

Yes, he caught a cold and was shivering from the cold at night. After that, he didn't know anything, but he vaguely felt that someone was taking care of him.

Lu Congyue frowned, folded up the wire bed and placed it against the wall, folding the mattress and pillows neatly.

So she was just taking care of him last night?

Lu Congyue frowned, glanced at the curtain, cleared his throat, and asked, "Comrade Zhuang, did I have a fever last night?"

"Hmm..." A soft female voice came from behind the curtain, "You're delirious from the fever. The infirmary isn't open, so I can only take care of you the old way. Director Lu, you should go to the infirmary and see if you need some medicine."

Her voice was soft and slightly trembling, and through the curtain, one could almost see her flushed face.

Remembering what she had just said to the child, Lu Congyue frowned even more: "How are you? Did you get infected? Can you still breastfeed?"
