The weather in Sijiu City was growing colder by the day, and people on the streets had long since changed into their thick winter clothes. He Daqing had prepared several outfits well in advance, but it seemed that every time the seasons changed, someone was bound to fall ill.
These past two days, it was He Daqing who had come down with a sickness. Perhaps it was his advancing age, or perhaps the emotional wounds that had never quite healed, but his frail body simply could not hold up. When the condition grew slightly more serious, he lay at home groaning. Shazhu had initially thought his father was just putting on an act, but when he went to check on him, he found that He Daqing’s fever had spiked to over 40 degrees Celsius.
The two housekeepers had noticed his condition quickly and rushed him to the hospital. Had it not been for them, He Daqing might have collapsed at home with no one the wiser. When He Yushui heard the news, she hurried over. Even though her father was far from being a model human being, he was at an advanced age, and with a fever that high, it was only right for his children to check on him.
