Chapter 833 - 853: The Young Mistress Is Safe Now
Nangong Yaoling stepped out of the room, the doctor had already arrived. The butler was about to report.
"Crown Prince... Dr. MAIK is here."
"Quickly let him in!"
Nangong Yaoling said, unable to put his mind at ease, returned to the bedroom.
Standing at the doorway, the doctor came up, greeted him, but he waved urgently, signaling him to see the patient quickly.
The doctor pushed the door open and went in, Nangong Yaoling followed.
Only then did he realize that Xia Xiaonuan was lying motionless on the bed.
His expression changed.
The doctor said, "Young Master, we need to bring down Young Mistress’s fever first."
Saying this, the doctor hurriedly opened the medical kit.
Seeing him about to give her an injection, Nangong Yaoling stepped forward and said, "She... she’s pregnant, can she have an injection now?"
The doctor was shocked upon hearing this.
"Young Master, such a significant thing, you... you..." The doctor didn’t dare reprimand too much, only said helplessly, "Injections for pregnant women are extremely harmful to the fetus! If severe, it might harm the child!"
"Is there no other way to bring down her fever?!" Nangong Yaoling asked urgently. He recalled Xia Xiaonuan saying she cared a lot about this child.
Although... he still didn’t know whether this child belonged to that bastard Situ Yan.
But regardless of being his or Situ Yan’s, if this child were really lost, Xiaonuan would definitely be heartbroken.
"Try cooling down the fever conservatively first, and if it doesn’t work, it’s best to go to the hospital."
Nangong Yaoling immediately sent someone to get ice packs.
Holding Xiaonuan in his arms, he used ice packs to cool her forehead while tightly holding her hand.
"Don’t... don’t harm my baby..." Xia Xiaonuan hadn’t completely fainted, vaguely hearing their conversation in her sleep, she grasped Nangong Yaoling’s hand and said eagerly.
Nangong Yaoling looked at her, his heart aching.
He held her hand tightly, "Don’t worry, I will do my best!"
Xia Xiaonuan gazed at him gratefully, "Thank you."
No matter what, even if he didn’t acknowledge this child, she would give birth to him, even if she had to raise him alone; he was her flesh and blood, the crystallization of both of them.
Xia Xiaonuan closed her eyes, finally feeling at ease.
Nangong Yaoling held her hand, shaking slightly.
The ice bag in his palm, one part was warm, the other cold.
His heart seemed to be placed in a mix of ice and fire.
Xiaonuan... do you care about this child so much because he belongs to him?
Or did you not lie to me, is this child actually mine?
Nangong Yaoling felt extremely conflicted, on the one hand, he surely hoped the child was his, but on the other hand, he was afraid, even if the child was his, Xia Xiaonuan was already with Situ Yan.
Meaning, she fled with their child and another man.
In the future, how is he supposed to face this child?
No, no matter what, if it’s his child, he will definitely keep him by his side.
As for Xia Xiaonuan...
Nangong Yaoling closed his eyes, daring not to think further.
The fortunate thing was, after several times with ice packs, Xia Xiaonuan’s fever finally went down.
"Young Master, this is such great news. Although Young Mistress cannot take medication right now, she can still take some stabilizing medicines. Now Young Mistress shouldn’t move around; it’s best to wait a few days until she’s better, then go to the hospital for a full check-up!"
"I understand." Nangong Yaoling nodded.
"I’ll prescribe medicine for Young Mistress now." Seeing Nangong Yaoling’s poor complexion, the doctor did not dare say much.
