Elvin’s thoughts had drifted far away. Hearing Diane, he gradually snapped back.
After a moment’s thought, he said to Diane: “Since my dream girl asked, of course I can’t refuse.”
With that, he took out his phone and added Diane on WhatsApp.
After adding each other, Diane’s smile grew even brighter.
Elvin had lost interest in engaging with Diane. With an indifferent expression, he told her, “I’ve got matters to attend to. I’m heading back first.”
Without waiting to see if Diane had more to say, he turned and walked away without looking back:
Watching Elvin’s decisive departure, Diane thought he must be contemplating how to pursue her.
This notion considerably brightened her mood.
The lingering shadow of being injured at the banquet two days prior gradually faded from her mind.
Meanwhile, after Bianca and Blair returned to Harmony Residence, Winnie’s high fever persisted. Though her temperature hadn’t broken, she was nearing unconsciousness.

Bianca gave Winnie water, gave her a sponge bath, then carried her downstairs.
Blair trailed behind, flustered and unsure what to do.
Bianca grew irritated watching his anxious yet useless pacing.
“Blair, can you stop pacing?
Winnie’s sick. She needs the hospital–go get the car.”
Hearing this, Blair didn’t bother arguing. “Okay,” he replied.
On the way to the hospital, Winnie’s mental state was almost dazed.
Bianca kept calling her, reminiscing about bits and pieces of the past.
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Her once well–behaved and adorable daughter had now reached a point where she couldn’t even make friends.
Bianca was heartbroken, and seeing her sick and suffering made her even more miserable.
For a moment, she wondered if she had been wrong, if she had neglected her discipline.
Soon, the car stopped at the hospital entrance. When Bianca got out to carry Winnie, Blair gently nudged her and said, “Let me carry her. You’ve worked hard enough.”
Bianca truly had no strength left. Hearing Blair say that, she let him.
Blair picked up Winnie and ran to the emergency department, with Bianca following behind.

Soon, Winnie was placed on a hospital bed, and the doctor ordered a series of blood tests.
Because of the high fever, the doctor urgently prescribed a fever- reducing shot.
Winnie was unconscious and didn’t cry out in pain when given the injection.
But clearly, Winnie was the one most afraid of pain.
Bianca was terribly worried about her daughter, her heart pounding wildly.
She herself was a doctor, a pediatric surgeon, so she knew the situation was critical.
If they weren’t careful, her daughter might…
Bianca didn’t dare think about it. The thought alone made her feel like she was suffocating.
Blair had been staying beside her the whole time. He wasn’t a professional, so he didn’t dare say much.
But seeing how tense Bianca looked, he couldn’t help but get scared too, scared enough that he didn’t dare speak for a while.
Soon, the blood test results came in, and a nurse called Bianca and Blair to the doctor’s office.
Once in the office, the doctor on duty pushed up his glasses, looked up from the report, and asked Bianca and Blair, “The child has the flu. Has she been to any crowded places recently?”
When Bianca heard it was the flu, she pretty much knew what had

Children have weak immune systems and are easily infected in
crowded places.
Remembering Winnie’s recent experiences, she said directly, “She went to the hospital.”
