Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 21: Take Care Of

Chu Xia raked through the pile of pills, finding the mercury thermometer.

She didn't even have the strength to shake the thermometer down, so she instructed Cen Huai'an on how to do it. She needed to take her own temperature.

Not surprisingly, it's 38.5°C, a high fever.

Chu Xia finds a fever-reducing medicine and says to Cen Huai'an, "An'an, help me pour half a glass of water."

The thermos was in the outer room, and Cen Huai'an immediately got out of bed. He didn't even have time to put on a short-sleeved shirt. He quickly poured half an enamel cup of water and carefully brought it in front of Chu Xia.

Chu Xia held the bed and tried to sit up, but she was weak and struggled to get up.

Seeing this, Cen Huai'an immediately placed the enamel cup on the table next to the bed and said, "Mom, I'll help you."

He climbs onto the bed and drags Chu Xia upwards with all his strength.

This action is so comical that Chu Xia can't help but laugh and almost fall down again.

However, she still follows Cen Huai'an's strength and tries her best to sit up on the bed.

Leaning against the head of the bed, Chu Xia takes a fever-reducing pill.

The antipyretic medicine doesn't work fast. She can't get up and cook like this.

"An'an."

"Mom." When Chu Xia got sick, Cen Huai'an forgot the barriers he put up against Chu Xia and only thought about how to make his mom get better.

This is how children are: even if they hate their moms, they still want to get their mom's love back.

It's only with love that you can hate.

Chu Xia's throat wasn't feeling good either, and she spoke very weakly: "I have some change in my pocket. Take it and buy some steamed buns at the entrance of the residential complex.

Now that the market is open, there have long been nimble people pushing tricycles selling food, especially in front of textile factories and family residential buildings.

They all know that these workers have money in their hands, and there are many people who will buy, so there are people setting up stalls in the area every day.

They not only sold steamed buns but also fried dough sticks, wontons, and tofu pudding.

However, since Cen Huai'an was young, he bought soupy foods that were easy to spill and could easily get cold on the way home.

They didn't have tightly sealed plastic containers from the future. When buying tofu pudding or wontons, people either ate them on the spot or brought their own bowls to fill and take home. The distance from the entrance of the residential compound was quite far, and it wasn't safe.

Cen Huai'an took the money to run out, but Chu Xia called out to him, "Put on your clothes."

Chu Xia's brain is groggy, and after Cen Huai'an ran out, she lay down again, closed her eyes, and just wanted to sleep.

The residential building is not soundproof; she could hear all the cooking sounds, talking, and noisy children outside.

Chu Xia was in this kind of environment, dazed, as if she were asleep and as if she weren't. All those sounds were like a layer of separation; she couldn't really hear them.

She seemed to hear Sister Li asking Cen Huai'an where she had been.

She didn't hear what Cen Huai'an said; she felt like she was dreaming.
