His Genius Wife Is A Superstar-Chapter 1438 Guilty
Chapter 1438 Guilty
Finally, Iris and Jin Liwei's group arrived at the hospital. Iris couldn't contact either Jiang Ying Yue or Lin Yehan at all. Fortunately, their in-house doctor was able to contact some of her peers working at the hospital and gathered information about Little Jun as soon as he was admitted. Thanks to the doctor, Iris and Jin Liwei's group headed straight to Little Jun's private room without having to search like headless chickens.
As soon as they entered the private room, Jiang Ying Yue threw herself at Iris and sobbed. Iris patted Jiang Ying Yue's shaking muscled shoulders, trying to comfort her, while Jin Liwei asked Lin Yehan about the child's condition.
Outside in the hallway, the in-house doctor spoke with the doctor assigned to Little Jun while Dom busied himself coordinating with the bodyguards who followed them in another car and the hospital's security to make sure that Iris' presence in the hospital remained a secret.
It would be too much trouble if the paparazzi discovered Iris at the hospital and started disturbing the other patients and medical staff just to get some footage of her.
When Jiang Ying Yue somewhat calmed down, she felt a little embarrassed. It was very rare for her to lose control of her emotions like this.
"Sorry," she whispered.
"Don't apologize," Iris said, continuing to pat her. "We're both mothers. I understand your worry and fear for your child. Little Jun is also my godson. I feel the same way as you."
Then the two walked to the hospital bed where Little Jun was now sleeping.
Iris stroked her sleeping godson's hair and kissed his forehead. It was still warm to the touch, causing her heart to clench. The poor child looked pale and exhausted. Iris' eyes couldn't help but mist over at the sight of the IV needle inserted into the back of the child's small hand.
"It's my fault," Jiang Ying Yue said, her eyes red and swollen. "I didn't pay enough attention to my son."
Before Iris could reply, she caught a word from her husband and Lin Yehan's conversation not far away that caused her alarm. "What did you say? Dengue? Little Jun has dengue fever?!"
The two men looked at her and nodded. Their expressions looked grave.
Iris looked at Jiang Ying Yue who also nodded.
"Where did he get dengue?" Iris demanded. freewebnøvel.com
Jin Liwei said, "In the past couple of weeks, Little Jun only stayed either at Dragon Palace or at the farm villa. So the infection could have only occurred in one of these two places."
"There's a higher chance that it occurred at my place because it's a farm," Lin Yehan said, looking very guilty. "The next routine fumigation is scheduled to be next week, but I'll have it bumped up to tomorrow instead. No, today."
"Help me arrange it to be done at Dragon Palace, too," Jin Liwei said. "It's better to be safe than sorry. I can't risk it with the twins at home, too."
Iris agreed with her husband. She also planned to inform her big brother and Long Jinjing about it, so that they could also protect themselves from infected mosquitoes that may harm her twin nephews, Little Misha and Little Dima.
Lin Yehan looked remorseful. "I'm sorry, Ying Yue. I didn't take care of Little Jun enough at my home."
Jiang Ying Yue shook her head. "It's not your fault, Yehan. You can't possibly control every little insect on your property. Besides, the infection might not even have happened at your place. I remember taking Little Jun to stroll in the city for a morning last week during my day off. You had an important meeting that day, so you weren't able to accompany us. Maybe he got infected there. I know that both your farm villa and Dragon Palace are strict when it comes to hygiene. That's why it's my fault for bringing my son outside. Maybe we walked past some unclean places where he got infected."
"It's no use playing the blame game," Iris said. "We should focus on helping Little Jun recover and reduce the chance of this happening again."

"Xiulan is right." Jin Liwei placed his arm behind his wife to show his support. "It's good that you rushed the child to the hospital before his condition worsened. Let the doctors treat him so that we can bring him home sooner."
The Dragon Palace in-house doctor entered the room and provided them with a more detailed explanation from what she gathered from the hospital doctor which comforted them a little more, especially both Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan who were almost drowning in guilt.
Afterward, Jin Liwei and Lin Yehan went out to arrange the fumigation of their respective properties as soon as possible.
Iris and Jiang Ying Yue were the only ones left with the still-sleeping sick child.
"Don't blame yourself anymore," Iris said. "Kids are more susceptible to illnesses."
Although she said this to comfort Jiang Ying Yue, Iris still felt a lingering fear in her heart.
Even her twins already got sick a couple of times before from the common cold. The first time it happened, Iris almost collapsed from fear and worry. Her heart felt like it was being twisted and sliced open while watching her babies suffer from sickness. If Jin Liwei hadn't been there by her side, she might have already had a meltdown.
Jiang Ying Yue had been a mother longer than Iris. She had also experienced her son getting sick several times. Despite this, Jiang Ying Yue continued to worry about Little Jun every single time.
A mother would never stop worrying about her children even when they had grown up.
Jiang Ying Yue still felt very guilty. Just like what she told Lin Yehan earlier, she understood that her son getting dengue fever wasn't something that she could control. However, she still couldn't stop the guilt from bubbling inside her.
She had been enjoying the day with her fiancé when her son got sick. She felt like she had neglected Little Jun for her selfish happiness.
