You're The Best Medicine For Me
Chapter 43: Two Little Kids Fall Sick at the Same Time

"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.

Jacob reached out and pulled Shirley's finger, "Mommy, I want him to stay to accompany me, can or not."

"He..."

"Okay, I'll stay to accompany you. Put this on, you'll feel slightly more comfortable." Bryan tore the top layer of the heating pad and gently put it on Jacob's forehead.

Shirley glared at Bryan and her eyebrows furrowed tightly, "Jacob, Mommy will stay to accompany you tonight."

"I'll stay to accompany you too."

"You..." Shirley wanted to say that he was busy at work during the day so he needed to go home to sleep at night but unexpectedly, this damn man would surprisingly go against her. Shirley gritted her teeth and glared angrily at the man opposite her.

At this time, Emma's voice sounded, "Mommy..."

Shirley hurriedly pulled the curtain and looked at Emma.

The needle tube was already hung on her hand. Cameron and the nanny were staying beside her.

When Shirley pulled the curtain to look at her, Emma pouted and acted like a spoiled child, "I want him to accompany me too."

Hearing this, Shirley turned her head back to glare at Bryan.

If this continued, it was true that both children did not need a mother anymore...

"Emma, Jacob, he is very busy during the day, at night..."

"I'll take off tomorrow to accompany you guys. I'll go back to work after you guys recover." Bryan's thin lips curled. Being doting, he looked at Jacob and his palm was put on the little one's head. Shirley was so angry that her face turned blue. She clenched her fists and slowly turned her head to glare at Bryan, "Bryan..."

"Paisley, your children are sick. You usually treat them strictly, I have no problem with that. But when they are sick, they are the most vulnerable and need the most company of someone. I'm just accompanying them for one night." He raised his eyes and his handsome face was showing a serious look.

This made Shirley swallowed back the words she wanted to utter.

She looked at the two children. They were looking at her eagerly.

Although they did not say, they were actually longing for the arrival and company of Bryan in their minds.

Bryan did not know that these two children were his children but the children were clear about it. It seemed really selfish for her to drive Bryan away at this time.

At this moment, Bryan got up, pulled the curtain, and waved at Cameron, "Come here, help move the bed to place it together."

Cameron excitedly answered.

He surprisingly had the fortune to receive an order from Mr. Moore.

However, Shirley did not understand what Cameron was excited about.

Under the combined efforts of Cameron and Bryan, the two children's beds were merged. Emma and Jacob slept beside each other. Bryan reached out and pointed to an empty place next to him and said, "You lie there, I'll take care of the children."

Seeing this situation, Cameron quickly said, "Shirley, I'll go out first. If you need anything, you can call us."

After saying that, Cameron and the nanny left the ward one after another.

Shirley stared at the place the children were lying. The two children were lying on one bed and the other bed could let two adults lie on. It was just that it would be a little crowded to lie on it.

When she used to stay beside the bed, she did do this but now, Bryan was here so she kept feeling that something was strange.

She touched Jacob's neck and then touched Emma's forehead. Both children were putting on the drip. One had stopped vomiting while one's temperature had slowly come down.

She withdrew her hand and turned her head to look at Bryan. "How about you go back first."

As soon as he heard this, he directly pulled the folding chair and put it on the side of the two children. He directly lay down and closed his eyes.

Shirley rolled her eyes at him. Knowing that it was difficult to communicate with him, she stopped talking.

She watched the children until two o'clock. Seeing that Jacob's fever had completely subsided and Emma was sleeping soundly, Shirley lay down beside the children and fell asleep not long after. The man lying on the recliner suddenly opened his eyes...☐☐☐
