I Want A Lifetime With You

When Fu Ling returned to her rented place, it was late at night. She entered the house cautiously and saw the nanny waiting for her. “Is he asleep?”

“Yes, Ms. Gu. Bai is asleep.” The nanny took off her apron. “Ms. Gu, I’ve prepared dinner for you. You can eat it now. I need to go back home. By the way, Bai had a slight fever just now. His temperature had since come down, but he was suffering a lot. Ms. Gu, I think you should bring him to the hospital. If this goes on, his condition might get worse!”

“Really? Did Bai cry today?” Fu Ling’s brows knitted together after hearing the nanny’s report. She hurried into the room to feel Bai’s forehead, which was slightly burning. She picked her son up and told the nanny, “You can leave now. I’ll take care of Bai. Thank you for staying this late! I’m really sorry for all the trouble.” She whipped out a stack of cash and handed it to the nanny. “Here you go. If it isn’t enough, let me know!”

“It’s more than enough. Actually, I haven’t finished spending the money you gave me last time.” The nanny shook her head. “Your mother and I came from the same village. Don’t worry; I’ll help you take good care of Bai. Though you need to come home earlier next time as I need to go back home and take care of my kid too!”

“I understand. I’m really sorry. I’ll come back earlier next time!” Fu Ling promised.

After the nanny left, Fu Ling hurriedly changed clothes and tidied Bai up before heading to the hospital.

She busily tended to him until the wee hours of the night, and when Bai’s temperature went down, she breathed a sigh of relief. Right then, the doctor arrived to do his rounds. When he saw Fu Ling, he said, “It’s you again. The child’s condition is getting worse, so we can’t afford any more delays. We can’t promise a 100% recovery rate, so I suggest you find his birth father ASAP. Otherwise—”

“I got it, doctor. I’ll think of a way,” Fu Ling cut the doctor off. “Can’t Bai take some sort of medicine? He’s suffering a lot.”

“I’m sorry, Ms. Gu. Bai is still too young. We suggest he undergoes a bone marrow transplant. That’s the best treatment for his condition. As he was born with leukemia, we can’t guarantee his recovery if he doesn’t receive a bone marrow transplant. To shorten his misery, we suggest—”

“Okay, got it.”

After the doctor left, Fu Ling took Bai’s hand. The young boy’s ashen face made her heart ache immensely. “Bai, please get well soon. I’ll find your daddy so he can cure your illness, alright?”

“Mommy!” Bai regained consciousness right then. His eyes turned red-rimmed when he saw Fu Ling. “Mommy, I missed you. Where did you go? Are you going to abandon me?”

“Of course not. Why would I abandon my lovely Bai? Be good, okay? Mommy went to work today. You need to listen to the nanny, alright?” Fu Ling reached out and caressed Bai’s forehead before pressing a kiss on it. Her face was full of concern as she asked, “Good boy. Does it hurt?”

Bai shook his head profusely. “No. I am a man, so it doesn’t hurt!”

Ling brushed another kiss across his fluffy cheek. “Sleep tight. Mommy will
