Veils of Beiping Novel Chapter 14
The villa is brightly lit. She looked at the interior decoration and judged that it was a small villa. The home is extremely clean and has a warm atmosphere. The carpet is so soft that there is no sound when walking on it.
It was obviously not the first time for Dr. Schmidt to come here. The servant who led the way was very respectful to him and was also very polite to her by the way. After leading them upstairs, Jane heard her say: "Our wife is waiting in Miss Tao's room. I will inform you first when I go in." Before she finished speaking, the door of the room had opened, and the young woman who came out wrapped her arms. Wrapping herself in a shawl, she invited them in. She only spoke to Dr. Schmidt, as if she did not see the nurse behind the doctor.
Dr. Schmidt calls her "Mrs. Tew."
Jane's hand holding the medicine box was a little sweaty. She followed Dr. Schmidt into the spacious and comfortable room. Unlike the pink in the ordinary little girl’s bedroom that I remember, this bedroom is all green. Even the carpet has colorful patterns on an emerald green background, making it look full of life. There are several gladiolas in a large glass vase on the table in front of the window, which looks very elegant.
Dr. Schmidt walked to the bedside.
The mother-looking woman waiting by the bed moved her position to make way for Sora. Mrs. Tu stood aside and comforted the patient in a low voice for a while.
The little girl Tao Suixin was lying on the small bed with her big bright eyes open, and her face was red because of fever. Dr. Schmidt looked back at Jane Cheng and said, Catherine, please translate for me, my Chinese is not enough.
Jane placed the medicine box on the bedside table.
Dr. Schmidt asked carefully, and Jane translated everything one by one. Most of the questions were answered by Mrs. Tu.
Jane followed Dr. Schmidt's instructions and put the thermometer under Suixin's armpit. She rubbed her hands together first. Suixin was wearing soft cotton pajamas. Perhaps because she was seriously ill today, she was very obedient. It's nothing like that day in the hospital, where he was as naughty as a little monkey. Jane put the thermometer away. He carefully covered her clothes and asked her in a low voice: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Through the mask, she only exposed her eyes and forehead.
Suixin's face felt hot to the touch.
Her hands were slightly cold, but Suixin didn't object to her touch. She looked at her and nodded. Then she turned around, looked at Mrs. Tu, and said, "Aunt Wei, I want to drink water."
Mrs. Tu quickly poured a glass of water. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he held Suixin in his arms and fed her water.
"I suddenly had a fever, which really scared me to death," she said. Lowering his head, his chin touched the child's forehead, "This child is always in trouble..."
Jane held the thermometer in her hand, looked at the light, and said to Dr. Schmidt: "103.9 degrees."
Dr. Schmidt asked Jane to do a few more tests on Suixin, and said to Qiu Wei: "It's just a common cold and fever. I'll ask Catherine to inject the patient with fever-reducing injections, and then just take the medicine on time." He turned away, He said kindly to Suixin in Chinese: "Miss Suixin, you will be fine soon. Don't be afraid."
"Thank you, Dr. Shi." Suixin replied in German.
Jane Cheng looked at Suixin. What came out from those lips that were a little dry and cracked due to fever were indeed German words. accurate tone. It sounds like he was well taught.
"Am I right?" Suixin asked.
