When Rao Jie woke up again, it was another day. Her fever seemed to have subsided. However, after a night of severe fever, injections, and IV drips, the doctor had said that it was caused by her excessive emotional agitation and hoped to provide her with a good environment for recovery.
Under the disapproving gazes of those around them, Rao Gang felt deeply ashamed and could hardly stay any longer; he dragged Huang Xiang away. Although Rao Gang came to visit Rao Jie the next day, she still didn’t dare let him stay too long. She was genuinely afraid—afraid that with Rao Gang there, Huang Xiang and Rao Jian would have an excuse to bring that person with the surname Hu along.
Rao Gang was still worried about where Rao Jie was staying, but Wu Xin cleverly suggested that Rao Jie stay with her, which finally eased his mind enough for him to leave.
By that afternoon, the fever had completely broken, and Rao Jie was able to be discharged from the hospital. However, she would still need to return for follow-up visits and IV drips over the next few days.
After being discharged, Wu Xin was naturally there to accompany her back to the Wu Family, where she would live with Wu Xin.
Once back in her room, Rao Jie had to pay attention to keeping warm and spent most of her time lying still. The person responsible for taking care of her was originally supposed to be Wu Xin, but somehow it gradually became Wu Rong instead.
It wasn’t until Rao Jie realized that it was Wu Rong who spent time with her, served her tea and water, prepared her medicine and meals, and even took her to the hospital for follow-ups. Wu Xin only took care of her needs in the bathroom; otherwise, she spent most of her time outside. It seemed she was very curious about Jiang Chuchu’s situation and often went to the police station to ask Shi Tiankai for updates.
In the end, Jiang Chuchu was diagnosed with mental health issues, though not severe enough to require immediate intervention—just some therapy from a psychologist.
With Wu Xin mostly absent, Rao Jie and Wu Rong maintained a strange balance; neither mentioned what had happened before. It was simply a quiet caregiving dynamic—one taking care while the other behaved well while being cared for.
This tranquility even allowed Professor Wu to take care of her in return. To be honest, Rao Jie found it quite enjoyable. Before long, she stopped worrying about Jiang Chuchu and family matters.
Although Rao Jie no longer had a fever, she often coughed incessantly as if trying to cough up blood.
Wu Rong was understandably anxious but reassured by the doctor that it was part of the healing process and that they just had to wait patiently.
"It seems your temperature is a bit high; are you feeling uncomfortable?" Wu Rong asked worriedly while holding a thermometer.
Rao Jie lay in bed under the covers with only half her face visible. She obediently shook her head but then broke into another fit of coughs just as she tried to speak.
"I don’t feel anything; maybe it's too hot under the covers?" Rao Jie replied.
Wu Rong thought for a moment before bringing over a large cup of hot water for Rao Jie to drink. She advised her not to lie down but rather sit up and rest for a while. They would check again later; if she had a fever, she would need medication.
Drinking hot water when feeling unwell had become Wu Rong's mantra. Although it was effective, seeing hot water made Rao Jie want to vomit at this point.
Nonetheless, as a cooperative patient, she did whatever Wu Rong suggested. After finishing the water, she handed the cup back to Wu Rong.
Wu Rong placed the cup down and handed Rao Jie a tablet from beside the bed. "Why don’t you watch a movie?"
Rao Jie nodded slightly as she just received the phone, but it vibrated in her hand. Leaning forward to take a look, she noticed Wu Rong helping her by holding it, unabashedly glancing at the messages lighting up the screen.
Rao Jie felt speechless; she wanted to take it back, but Wu Rong's hand lingered for a moment, blocking her. Confused, she looked at him, and after a brief pause, he finally handed the phone over to her.
