“I’ll come help you after I finish eating!” Wei Yilin said to Wei Ruo.

After saying that, Wei Yilin ran toward the dining hall ahead of Xiumei. Xiumei had no choice but to hurry after him.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Wei Yilin returned. In his hands he carried a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, while behind him Xiumei held a heavy food box.

After entering the bedroom and walking past the screen, Wei Yilin finally saw Wei Mingting lying on the sickbed.

At that moment, his small eyes reddened again. His lips trembled as he pursed them together, but he held back his tears and did not cry out.

Suppressing his emotions, Wei Yilin handed the bowl of ginseng chicken soup he was holding to Wei Ruo.

“This is for you. You should nourish yourself too. Don’t wear yourself out tonight, otherwise I won’t have the time to take care of you.”

Wei Ruo took the ginseng chicken soup and drank a few sips.

Xiumei also handed the food box to Wei Ruo. “Miss, please eat more. I’ll go make another bowl of bird’s nest soup for you later.”

“Thank you for your hard work,” Wei Ruo said to Xiumei.

“It’s nothing for me. Miss, you must take care of your health.”

“Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Your young lady still has enough strength for this,” Wei Ruo reassured her.

Then Wei Ruo glanced at Wei Yilin before saying to Xiumei, “Meimei, go bring another wool blanket. The night will be cold, we should guard against the chill.”

“Alright.”

Xiumei went to fetch two wool blankets for Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin.

That night, Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin kept watch.

Wei Yilin became very quiet, his eyes fixed on Wei Mingting, who lay unconscious on the bed.

When Wei Ruo stood up to check on Wei Mingting, Wei Yilin immediately stood up as well.

“How is he? Big sister, how is father?” Wei Yilin asked.

“He’s still alive. His body is a little hot right now,” Wei Ruo replied.

“A little hot? What should we do then? What should I do?” Wei Yilin became even more anxious. He did not fully understand his father’s injuries, but he knew that a fever was not a good sign.

“He’s so badly injured that a fever is a normal reaction. As long as it doesn’t get too high, we won’t do anything else for now. If his temperature rises too much, we’ll cool him down with damp towels. Other than that, he’s taking his medicine on time, and the physician has already done everything that can be done. For now, we can only wait and see,” Wei Ruo answered.

Wei Yilin pressed his lips together, his face full of worry, but he still nodded.

For some reason, at this moment, Wei Ruo looked so dependable that he couldn’t help but believe in her.

Wei Ruo had originally thought that Wei Yilin was only saying those words casually and would soon grow sleepy and fall asleep. Unexpectedly, throughout the entire night, he did not doze off even once, afraid that if he looked away for a moment, the person on the bed might disappear.

Every time Wei Ruo got up to check on Wei Mingting or to feed him medicine, Wei Yilin would also stand up and follow along. Even if he couldn’t really help, he still wanted to watch for a while.

Outside the window, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. From time to time, the chirping of insects could be heard, while inside the room the candlelight flickered—bright one moment, dim the next.

Countless times during the night, they got up to change Wei Mingting’s medicine, feed him, and wipe his body.

At first Wei Yilin didn’t understand what to do, but after watching for a while, he gradually learned and was able to help with some small tasks.

And so Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin sat on the chairs beside Wei Mingting’s bed, keeping watch from nightfall until dawn.

Although the night was tiring and full of activity, fortunately nothing unexpected happened to Wei Mingting.

The only incident that could be called unexpected involved Yun Shi. In the first half of the night, she came to see Wei Mingting once and happened to arrive while Wei Ruo was changing his medicine. The moment she saw the wound on his chest, Yun Shi’s vision went dark and she fainted.
