Under the dim lighting, Lian Qingxuan supported her weary body and glanced back at Xue Zhiyuan, who was snoring on the bed, his brows almost knit together.
Forget it, don’t bother with a drunkard.
Lian Qingxuan sighed, went to the bathroom for a soak, and upon removing her robe, discovered bruises on her body, either bitten or sucked out, which at the time only felt slightly painful, but now looked shocking.
The warm water was still steaming, and Lian Qingxuan comfortably soaked in the bathtub, feeling every pore had opened up, feeling extremely relaxed.
She leaned against the bathtub, as steam rose, and her mind was continuously filled with Tang Yue’s words to her.
"Sister Xuan, you are still young."
"No, you are only one-third through your life, whether you continue on or choose to separate, you need to think clearly. Considering your current state, even if you don’t divorce, it may not be good for the children."
"Sister Xuan, you can use your heart to see and feel whether divorce makes you happier or staying together does."
"Life is long, why be miserable and unhappy every day?"
"Sister Xuan, you’re just over thirty, you still have so many good years ahead, decide whether to talk it over with him if you want to stay together, or cut it off quickly if you want to separate."
To separate, or continue together?
Lian Qingxuan’s mind was in turmoil, nearly falling asleep in the water, and upon groggily opening her eyes, discovered the water in the bathtub had already turned cold.
She quickly got out, dried her hair, made her body clean and dry, and then returned to rest on the bed, lying only on the edge.
The weather was a bit chilly, and when Lian Qingxuan pulled the quilt, she accidentally touched Xue Zhiyuan and realized his body was frighteningly hot.
Lian Qingxuan quickly sat up and reached out to touch his forehead.
"So hot."
Lian Qingxuan didn’t even need a thermometer; he was burning up, definitely a high fever.
"Zhiyuan." Lian Qingxuan was now wide awake, pushing Xue Zhiyuan while shouting, "Zhiyuan, you have a high fever; you need to go to the hospital now."
Unable to move him or wake him, Lian Qingxuan simply found clothes to change into, and dressed Xue Zhiyuan, who was already in a feverish haze and sleeping deeply, making dressing him not easy.
After finally getting him dressed, Lian Qingxuan knocked on her in-laws’ door and informed them of Xue Zhiyuan’s high fever.
Mrs. Xue, upon hearing that her son had a high fever, was visibly displeased and scolded Lian Qingxuan, questioning how she had been taking care of her son.
Lian Qingxuan was speechless, thinking of sending Xue Zhiyuan to the hospital first, and refrained from saying much.
The commotion at home was big; worried about the two children, Lian Qingxuan made a point to check on them before leaving. Xianxian was sound asleep, not waking, but Xiao Yu had woken up, walking halfway in pajamas.
"Xiao Yu, you quickly go back to sleep, go to school with your sister tomorrow. Your dad suddenly has a high fever, and mom needs to go to the hospital to care for him, okay?" Lian Qingxuan gently guided Xue Yu back to bed to rest, while downstairs Mrs. Xue’s yelling could be heard.
