Physical cooling was of little use to Xiao Qi; his temperature dropped slightly, and soon rose again. Qi Taiguo rushed home after finishing work and, without a word, picked up his son and headed to the hospital.
Cheng Su followed him with reddened eyes, and Qi Taiguo said, "It's normal for children to have a fever. Why are you crying? Hurry up and wipe your tears, don't let people laugh at you!"
"Seeing him uncomfortable makes me feel very bad inside." Cheng Su sniffled and said.
In the past, she had seen many examples where families had to raise money to treat a child's serious illness. She felt quite sorry for those parents, but wasn't deeply affected. Now, as a mother herself, she truly empathizes.
Xiao Qi was just feverish and listless, yet she felt this bad. If, heaven forbid, he had a serious illness, wouldn't it be the death of her?
Cheng Su remembered that phrase, wishing the pain he felt could transfer entirely to her.
This is a mother's heart.
