Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 503

Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Perfect

She just wanted to avoid the awkwardness of being alone with Jia Liang, but she didn’t realize when she actually fell asleep.

When she woke up to the sounds, she saw Jia Liang had called the doctor, who was removing Ningning’s IV.

She quickly stood up and respectfully moved to the side.

After the doctor finished removing Ningning’s IV, he tested her temperature again.

The fever had gone down, but to prevent it from returning, the doctor prescribed some medicine.

"Take the medicine on time, and come back to the hospital if the high fever persists."

After giving all the instructions, the doctor told them they could go home.

Ningning had a fever all night and, although it had subsided, she was still very weak.

Even though she was awake, she looked listless.

It had stopped raining outside at some point, and dawn was breaking in the east, almost daylight.

Jia Liang put the medicine in his pocket, bent down to pick up Ningning, but Qin Juan quickly stepped forward, "I’ll carry her."

"No need, I can carry her securely," said Jia Liang.

"I can carry her too," Qin Juan insisted.

It was raining heavily when they came, and the roads were bad. Given Ningning had a high fever, it was reasonable to let Jia Liang carry her.

But how could she let him continue carrying her on the way back?

Professionally, their paths crossed unavoidably, but personally, Qin Juan always tried to keep her distance from Jia Liang.

She was a divorced woman with a child; Jia Liang was capable, skilled, and could earn well—she really shouldn’t waste his time.

Since she couldn’t give him what he wanted, she shouldn’t give him any hope. Even a child would understand this; how could Qin Juan not?

This time, Jia Liang didn’t speak to Qin Juan anymore but directly asked Little Ningning, "Ningning, is it okay if Uncle Liang carries you?"

Ningning nodded earnestly, "Yes, Uncle Jia, thank you for bringing Ningning to the hospital, Ningning likes being carried by Uncle Jia."

Worried that Qin Juan might be unhappy, she turned and comforted her mother, "Mom, I want Uncle Jia to carry me."

She really wanted to say how strong Uncle Jia’s arms felt and how broad his back seemed.

In the past when it rained on her way to school, she saw some classmates being carried or piggybacked by their fathers, and Uncle Jia made her feel like he was her father.

But she dared not say it, knowing her mother didn’t like her father anymore; she was afraid to bring up her father and make her mother sad.

Having Ningning’s approval, Jia Liang wrapped her up in a small blanket.

Although the rain had stopped when they first arrived, Ningning was bundled up in clothes and a small blanket.

Although the rain had ceased now, the temperature in the early morning after the rain was several degrees lower.

Ningning was still ill and shouldn’t catch a cold.

After wrapping Ningning up nicely, Jia Liang naturally took off his jacket and handed it to Qin Juan, "Put this on, it’s chilly outside."

Qin Juan quickly refused as he held the jacket up to her, "I’m not cold, you wear it."

Offering the jacket to her meant he would only be in a short-sleeved shirt.

Jia Liang stuffed it into her arms, "I’ll get warm carrying the child. If you won’t wear it, just hold it for me."

Without waiting for Qin Juan to refuse again, he lifted Ningning and walked outside.
