She’s Got Him So Worried

This...

Xu Chun hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke up.

With a sigh and a slight choke in her voice, she said, "Aplastic anemia."

Aplastic anemia!!

Fu Hanjiang felt a shock to his heart!

Although he had already suspected that Junjun had a serious illness, hearing it confirmed at this moment was still unbearable for him.

Looking at the small child in his arms, Fu Hanjiang felt as if he couldn't breathe properly.

She was so young, how could she endure this?

Holding the little one in his arms, Fu Hanjiang was afraid to exert any pressure, fearing that he might hurt her accidentally.

He furrowed his brows, his expression heavy. "What did you come here for today?"

"Sigh..."

Xu Chun sighed, wiping her eyes, "We came for hospitalization and tests. She's been through tests all morning. It's too much for her, she's so little..."

Fu Hanjiang understood now, Junjun was feeling unwell.

Holding the little one in his arms, he asked, "Junjun, tell Uncle, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"..."

Junjun thought seriously for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't know."

Her lips quivered, and tears began to fall. "Uncomfortable. Uncle, Junjun feels very uncomfortable."

"Alright, alright."

Fu Hanjiang didn't dare to ask further. "Uncle understands. Junjun, don't cry. Uncle is here with you."

"Okay!"

Junjun snuggled closer into his arms.

Worried that she might be in more pain, he looked at Xu Chun. "Where is the ward?"

"Please follow me, sir."

At the ward, Fu Hanjiang's face remained grim. "Get a doctor here!"

Junjun was feeling so unwell; he couldn't feel at ease without a doctor checking on her.

"Alright."

Xu Chun nodded and left immediately.

Wan Fang had been waiting and came over as soon as he heard, giving Junjun a check-up.

He patted her head. "Junjun did so well, finished all the tests?"

He took out the fairy wand and rewarded her. "Here you go, just like I promised. A reward!"

"Thank you, Uncle." Junjun accepted it with a sniffle, not as excited as she had been initially.

Fu Hanjiang, his face dark, glanced at Wan Fang. "Are you sure Junjun is alright?"

"Yes."

Wan Fang nodded, glancing suspiciously at Fu Hanjiang, unsure of his relation to Junjun.

However, this man's presence was imposing, clearly not an ordinary person.

He explained further, "The testing process can indeed cause some discomfort. Children have low tolerance, so it's understandable that she feels unwell."

"Okay."

Fu Hanjiang nodded, somewhat relieved, though his expression remained troubled.

He gently rocked the little one in his arms, wanting to put her down so she could lie comfortably.

"No!"

Junjun's lips quivered. "Uncle hold! Does Uncle not like Junjun?"

Xu Chun felt embarrassed. "Maybe I should hold her? Children often want to be held by adults when they're uncomfortable."

Is that so?

Fu Hanjiang didn't understand these things, but if that was the case, how could he let go?

"I'll hold her."

Fu Hanjiang shook his head, refusing to let go, and continued to comfort the child in his arms.

"Junjun, I'm sorry. Uncle didn't know. Uncle isn't saying he doesn't like you. How could Uncle not like you?"

He spoke softly while gently rocking her in the room.

"Uncle likes Junjun the most."

He glanced at Xu Chun, seeking confirmation with his eyes... Is this okay?

Xu Chun, eyes red, nodded.

In fact, without her saying so, Fu Hanjiang noticed that holding her like this calmed Junjun significantly.

"Uncle."

Junjun, nestled in his arms, spoke with a sniffle.

"Hmm?" Fu Hanjiang looked down at her. "What is it?"

"Strawberry milk." Junjun hesitated. "Junjun wants to drink strawberry milk."

"Oh no!" Fu Hanjiang closed his eyes in regret. "Uncle is terrible; Uncle didn't bring any!"

This guilt was genuine.

How many times had he met Junjun? Yet he never brought any for her!

"Hold on."

Fu Hanjiang, still holding her with one arm, used the other to take out his phone and dialed a number. "It's me. Yes, buy some strawberry milk, right..."

Hanging up, he smiled at Junjun.

"Wait a moment, Junjun. Your favorite strawberry milk is on its way."

"Okay..."

Junjun's eyes welled up with tears as she buried herself in his arms, hugging him tightly. "Uncle is so nice! Junjun likes Uncle!"

Haha.

Fu Hanjiang chuckled softly. "Uncle likes Junjun too, very much."

At the ward door.

Sheng Xiangsi stood there, quietly watching the scene.

She had only been gone for a short while, and Fu Hanjiang had already arrived? She couldn't deny the strange connection between the father and daughter.

Sheng Xiangsi blinked, forcing back the moisture in her eyes, and stepped away...

Soon, Rong Zheng arrived with the strawberry milk that Junjun wanted.

"Second Master..."

Rong Zheng, carrying the bag, still hadn't figured out the situation. Why was the Second Master with a little girl?

And this girl was really pretty! The prettiest he had ever seen.

"Hmm."

Fu Hanjiang lifted his chin. "Open a bottle."

"Alright."

Rong Zheng opened the bag, uncapped a bottle, and handed it to Fu Hanjiang.

Holding it, Fu Hanjiang brought it to Junjun's mouth. "Here's Junjun's favorite strawberry milk."

"Okay." Junjun, still lying on him, didn't even lift her hand, just opened her mouth and took the straw.

The little one, cheeks puffing as she drank, looked better than before.

Fu Hanjiang's expression softened a bit. "Junjun is such a good eater."

Rong Zheng: ...

Kids are great, aren't they? They get praised for drinking milk or going to the bathroom!

Before leaving, Fu Hanjiang left a number with Xu Chun. "If Junjun feels unwell, or if she misses me, call me."

Thinking for a moment, he added, "Anytime."

"Alright..."

Xu Chun glanced at Junjun, hesitating but eventually accepting the number, gritting her teeth. "I understand."

This gentleman didn't seem like a bad person.

Moreover, she could tell he wasn't ordinary, probably wealthy or influential, not likely a scammer. Besides, Junjun had nothing worth scamming.

"Uncle." Junjun tugged at Fu Hanjiang's finger. "Are you leaving?"

Afraid she would cling to him, Xu Chun quickly said, "Junjun, don't be unreasonable. Uncle is an adult; he has important things to do."

"Oh." Junjun pouted in disappointment.

"It's alright."

Fu Hanjiang's heart ached. "Junjun, don't be sad. Uncle will come to see you often, okay?"

"Okay." Junjun finally smiled.

She extended her little finger. "Pinky promise, no lying!"

"Alright." Fu Hanjiang was taken aback, then smiled, hooking his pinky with the little one's. "Uncle doesn't lie."

"Uncle is leaving."

"Goodbye, Uncle!"

Reluctantly, they parted.

With Rong Zheng in tow, Fu Hanjiang had just left when Sheng Xiangsi entered the ward.

She had timed it, waiting for him to leave before coming in.

"Mommy!"

Junjun, now much better, greeted her mother cheerfully. "Mommy's back."

"Yes."

Sheng Xiangsi adjusted her emotions, smiled, and opened the thermos container. "Has Junjun been waiting long? Here's your favorite cheese-baked sweet potato, ready to eat soon."

...

In the car, Fu Hanjiang pondered what he could do for Junjun.

She wasn't his child, yet strangely, he couldn't stop worrying about her.

His phone rang.

It was Fu Hanchuan.

"Brother." Fu Hanjiang answered.

On the other end, Fu Hanchuan said, "Hanjiang, come to Fenglin Bay. I have something to tell you."

"Now?"

"Yes, now."
