Mom?
This child must have been frightened by that damned trafficker. She had saved him, so it could be considered normal for the child to subconsciously call out for her mother.
The little boy nodded doubtfully, and then immediately shook his head, his little hands grabbing Shangguan Lingwan's sleeve tightly, his face red he muttered: "Mom, mom is you."
Although Shangguan Lingwan had never raised a child, she knew that a child's fever was a terrifying thing to have. If she did not treat it promptly, it might cause a lot of complications.
Originally, she had planned to first stabilize the child's emotions and then send it to the police station, where she would use the police force to search for the child's identity information. That way, she could find the child's parents.
Now, it seemed, it was basically impossible.
Shangguan Lingwan took off her outer robes and wrapped them tightly around the boy. She picked him up and called a taxi, heading to the nearby hospital.
Along the way, the little boy's consciousness became more and more blurry, but his little hands still held onto Shangguan Lingwan's sleeves. The little boy kept calling out to his mother, and his weak body couldn't help but tremble.
Shangguan Lingwan rushed into the hospital quickly. Soon, doctors and nurses arranged the ward, and she ran up and down the ward, paying the medical fees and going out to buy many snacks and fruits.
When Shangguan Lingwan returned to the ward, the little boy was already asleep, the nurse was giving him fluids.
"Nurse, how is the child?" Shangguan Lingwan put down the shopping bag in her hands and asked anxiously. The nurse told Shangguan Lingwan not to worry, the child's body temperature would drop after the transfusion and she would be fine with some antipyretic drugs.
Only then did Shangguan Lingwan heave a sigh of relief. If something happened to the child, she wouldn't have the face to see his parents. If an adult couldn't even protect their child, they would be no different from trash.
After a few hours, the little boy's condition stabilized, and Shangguan Lingwan decided to send him to the police station.
However, as soon as they arrived at the police station, the little boy hugged Shangguan Lingwan's legs tightly. Her slightly hot face was pressed tightly against Shangguan Lingwan, her fair and tender hands folded together, and she did not want to let go even after using all her strength.
"Mom, don't leave me behind. I'm a good girl and won't cause trouble for mom." The little boy looked up, his young face filled with grievance.
Shangguan Lingwan looked at the bright eyes, and instantly her maternal instincts flared up. Thinking about it, the police station was full of men, how could they take care of a child? It was only a matter of a few days anyway, once they found the child's parents, everything would be over.
Especially hearing the child's almost pleading tone, Shangguan Lingwan could not bear to do more. In the end, she picked up the child and brought the little boy home.
Under Shangguan Lingwan's care, the little boy quickly fell asleep. Only then did Shangguan Lingwan get up and leave the bedroom quietly. She grabbed the phone in her bag and immediately called her brother.
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, "Okay, okay, okay. You haven't called your big brother for so long, the first thing you do is call the laborers. Miss Ling Wan, did I owe you something in my previous life? "
Shangguan Lingwan snorted, telling her brother that he had to hurry, and then recounting the child's current situation. Immediately, her brother sighed helplessly. Shangguan Lingwan stuck out her tongue and quickly hung up the phone.
At home, big brother doted on his little sister the most. As long as it was something that Shangguan Lingwan wanted, he would put it in front of her, let alone something so small.
Shangguan Lingwan finally let out a breath of relief, and when she turned around, she bumped into an object.
It was unknown when the little boy ran out of the bedroom, but he blurrily walked into the living room and bumped into Shangguan Lingwan.
"Aiya, why did you come out yourself? Be good, you're still sick. Didn't Sister nurse tell you to rest well?" Shangguan Lingwan crouched down and held the boy nervously.
Unexpectedly, the little boy stared blankly at the living room. After a long time, he timidly said, "Mom, I'm thirsty."
Shangguan Lingwan felt a pang of sadness in her heart. This child was so young, he should have been taken care of by his parents. He really didn't know what was going on with the parents of this child.
Although she complained, Shangguan Lingwan immediately poured a cup of water for the child. When the little boy finished, she stayed by the bed.
The nurse specifically warned him that the child with the high fever needed someone to take care of him, especially at night. If he found out that the child was still having a high fever, he would still be sent to the hospital.
Shangguan Lingwan stayed by the bed for the whole night without sleeping. In the morning, her brother called to ask about the child's characteristics, saying that he had almost found the way, and that he would be able to confirm who the child's parents were in less than two days.
Only then did Shangguan Lingwan let out a breath of relief, her heart dropped and she rubbed her swollen temples, feeling extremely tired.
The sunlight outside the window was just right, but the familiar figure in his memory was nowhere to be seen. The man with a mischievous smile seemed to have disappeared completely this time.
Yin Hanchuan, wait until I catch your shadow and slap you against the wall. If you don't give me an explanation, then you'll be hung on the wall as a portrait for the rest of your life!
Shangguan Lingwan pursed her lips, laughing uncontrollably.
