You're The Best Medicine For Me novel Chapter 43

“Don’t cry, Mommy will stay with you tonight. Be obedient, you need to have the injection and take medicine, or else you won’t recover…” She embraced the child with one hand and gently patted the child’s back with another hand.

The child was lying on her shoulder with hands tightly wrapping around her neck. Her body was slightly quivering while she was sobbing.

Not long after, the child stopped crying. Her little head was lying on Shirley’s shoulder and she asked with a slightly hoarse voice, “Doesn’t Mommy go to accompany Daddy anymore, Mommy will stay with Emma tonight, right?”

“Yes, Mommy will stay to accompany Emma. So, do you want to get an injection.” She turned her head and drew out a few tissues to wipe away the tears and snot on Emma’s face.

Emma pouted and nodded her head.

The nanny and Cameron both heaved a sigh of relief.

Shirley turned her head to look at the nurse and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”

The nurses laughed.

Shirley then put Emma on the hospital bed. When the nurse came over to disinfect her, she cooperated well.

Only after the nurse left did Shirley remember Jacob.

There was another bed next to her. It was just that the curtain was blocking and as she was too anxious about Emma, she forgot that Jacob was also sick.

She walked over, pulled the curtain and saw Jacob who was wearing a hospital gown lying quietly on the bed and sleeping with his eyes closed.

It was just that his cheeks were redder than usual due to his high fever.

Looking at his quiet sleeping face, Shirley’s heart melted. She gently raised her hand and placed it on Jacob’s forehead.

At this time, the other side of the curtain was also opened. Shirley jerked her head up to look.

Bryan was standing on the opposite side of the bed. He was staring at the child on the bed and his eyes were filled with love and tenderness.

Seeing Bryan’s such look, Shirley felt like her heart had leapt to her throat.

Why did he come in?

Shirley subconsciously turned her head to look at Emma who was lying on another bed. Now, both children had no stickers on their faces. If Bryan saw Emma’s face, would he suspect anything.

She instantly showed a cold face and drove him away with a low voice, “Get out.”

“I’ll stay beside him. You go and take care of Emma.”

“No need.”

Bryan totally ignored her.

He raised his hand and put his palm on Jacob’s forehead and then put it on his own. When he sensed that the child’s body temperature was higher than his, his brow unconsciously furrowed. He said to the child’s mother, “Knock it off, the child’s temperature is still quite high.”

Finished speaking, he casually tore the heating pad placed on the table.

Shirley’s heart throbbed and she reached out to hold his waist, saying, “What are you doing?”

“The child will feel more comfortable upon using it.” When he had insomnia and could not fall asleep, he would place this thing on his eyes to soothe the soreness.

And naturally, Shirley knew that the heating pad could provide relief when a child had a fever, but…this kind of thing shouldn’t be done by him. She really did not want him to have much contact with her children.

“Let me do it…”

“Mommy, Daddy, you guys don’t argue.”

When Shirley grabbed the heating pad, Jacob’s eyes suddenly opened and he said softly.

The two adults looked down at Jacob at the same time.

Bryan took the opportunity to grab the heating pad back from Shirley’s hand. When he looked at Jacob, his expression was extremely gentle, “Jacob, I’ve come to see you, do you remember me?”

“You’re the man who looks like my daddy, I remember,” Jacob said feebly.

Although he looked sickly, it was obvious that Jacob was very happy about Bryan’s arrival.
