Chapter 65 ICU
The ambulance stopped downstairs, and the stretcher was brought out. Wang Zhao, with her great strength, directly carried Li Zhenguan onto the vehicle.
However, the space inside the ambulance was very small and couldn’t accommodate so many people. Wang Zhao let Yang uncle hold the child and get in first, while she drove her own car following the ambulance.
The police also arrived downstairs, inquiring about the basic situation and preparing to go to the hospital together.
On the ambulance, perhaps due to the unfamiliar environment or the people around, the child in Yang uncle’s arms, who had just calmed down, started crying again. He felt a bit anxious, looking at Li Zhenguan who was already wearing a respirator on the stretcher, while feeling Wang Wen’s forehead, which seemed to have gotten hotter.
A child having a fever for too long could be problematic. The doctor on the vehicle also noticed something was wrong with the child, felt his forehead, frowned, and took out a thermometer to measure his temperature.
When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Yang uncle removed the thermometer and looked at it.
Thirty-eight point nine degrees, considered a high fever.
He handed the thermometer to one of the doctors. The doctor glanced at it, saw the scale, and said, “You should take the child to the pediatric department first. Generally, this temperature doesn’t require an injection. Just get some medicine to take and see how it goes.”
For children, injections are not always the best option, and Wang Wen was still young. Physical cooling methods were better than using antibiotics.
Yang uncle nodded and called Wang Zhao to explain the situation, and also remembered to ask Wang Zhao to bring some more things from home.
When he packed the luggage earlier, he didn’t think much and only brought things like milk powder. He didn’t bring any of Wang Wen’s daily toiletries. The hospital was a place with many bacteria, and the child was too young to use things there. He also wasn’t comfortable using the hospital’s items.
On Wang Zhao’s side, after receiving the call, despite her urgency, she didn’t show it on her face. After inquiring about Li Zhenguan and the child’s current situation, she made a U-turn and went back home to pack things.
Besides the child’s items, she also needed to bring some of Li Zhenguan’s things. She had stayed in the hospital with Li Zhenguan before, so she packed in a fairly orderly manner.
However, while packing the suitcase, she found a bottle on the floor in front of the bedside table. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was sleeping pills. A few pills had fallen onto the carpet, but the bottle was already empty. It seemed that quite a few pills from this bottle had been consumed.
Wang Zhao tightly gripped the bottle, half-squatting by the bed for a while. During this time, she didn’t know what she was thinking, but she couldn’t help but press her brow and sigh, mentally calling out a person’s name.
Zhenguan, she really didn’t know what to do with him now.
She squatted for a while before standing up and immediately calling Yang uncle, saying she had found a nearly empty bottle of sleeping pills in the room. She asked him to inform the doctors about this, suspecting that Li Zhenguan had not only cut his wrists but also taken quite a few sleeping pills.
He really didn’t leave himself any way out.
After hanging up, Wang Zhao didn’t immediately rush to the hospital. She sat on the bed for a long time. The wall clock in the room ticked away, and she felt her heart calm down before taking the packed suitcase, getting in the car, and driving towards the hospital.
When she arrived, Li Zhenguan had already entered the operating room. Yang uncle was sitting in the corridor holding the child. Seeing her, he quickly came over: “The young master has already entered the operating room. I’ve told them about the sleeping pills, and the doctors have done an examination and said they need to pump his stomach.”
Wang Zhao felt somewhat tired. She nodded, took the child from Yang uncle’s arms, and felt Wang Wen’s forehead. It was still a bit hot. The child was sleeping with closed eyes, but not peacefully, and his little lips had become somewhat dry.
“Has the child seen a doctor?” she inquired.
“Yes.” Yang uncle was still holding a bag of medicine. “They prescribed some fever-reducing medication. I’ve just given some to Wenwen. The doctor said to wait two hours to see the effect. If it doesn’t work, he’ll need an injection.”
He explained: “The doctor said it’s best not to use IV drips for Wenwen at this age. Using too many antibiotics is not good for a child’s immune system. If the fever goes down after taking the oral medication, that would be best.”
It was only because the fever was approaching thirty-nine degrees, considered high, that the doctor prescribed medication. Otherwise, for around thirty-eight degrees, physical cooling methods would suffice, using a towel with a bit of alcohol to cool the child down.
Wang Zhao nodded, unable to resist nuzzling her cheek against the sleeping child.
This was the first time Wang Wen had fallen ill in the middle of the night. Since birth, this child had always been in good health. It was only tonight that he suddenly developed a fever, waking Yang uncle, who then discovered that Li Zhenguan had gotten into trouble.
Yang uncle was still marveling at the father-son bond, guessing that it must have been Wenwen sensing something was wrong with his father. Wang Zhao didn’t say anything, just tightened her hold on the child.
As it was around four in the morning, the hospital corridor seemed quite quiet. Wang Zhao handed the child back to Yang uncle, telling him to take the child home first.
“There are too many bacteria in the hospital, and Wenwen is still young with a weak immune system. I’ve been thinking, it’s better for Wenwen to go home. If the high fever doesn’t subside, we can bring him back to the hospital later,” Wang Zhao said.
For young children, it’s best to avoid hospitals as much as possible. Even adults feel uncomfortable here, let alone infants.
Yang uncle hesitated for a moment: “Should we call Miss Li and Madam Li?” To be honest, his true employer was Madam Li, and with such a big incident, he couldn’t not say anything. However, he still wanted to ask Wang Zhao’s opinion first.
Wang Zhao glanced at the operating room: “I’ll call them when it’s daylight. Dad and the others aren’t awake yet. By the time they wake up, Zhenguan should be out of surgery. This way, we can avoid making them worry now.”
Yang uncle agreed that this made sense, so he prepared to take the child home first. It was difficult to get a ride at this time, so he waited at the hospital for about half an hour before a driver accepted the ride.

If you’re like me…
Too tired of reading stories where the female lead is often foolish, weak, feeble both physically and mentally, usually in a subservient and oppressed role in society such as a maid, secretary, concubine… or to put it bluntly, typically the one who has to serve and please the male lead, always needing protection and rescue from male leads, while the male lead is often described as talented, strikingly handsome, powerful,…
Then please continue reading.
Hi there, girls!
I’m Yuushi L.
Every day, movies and comics continuously reinforce the notion that women are weak, that they can only handle trivial matters in the background, that women are petty-minded and constantly jealous, mocking, and laughing at other women, while men are strong, wealthy, and solely focused on conquering the world, with countless mindless women ready to fall into their arms.
Believe me, once you read Female-dominant (FEDO) novels, your mindset will change significantly.
I am deeply inspired by strong, independent, and rational women who have the power to take control of their lives, and I am fascinated by the way society’s gender roles are reversed in this genre compared to real life.
So I have created this web with the noble purpose of promoting the “Female-dominant (FEDO)” genre of novels.
In my country, there was a rare renowned female poet in ancient times who wrote the following about the fate of women in that era:
“Damn this life of sharing a husband,
One wrapped in warmth, the other left cold.
I’d rather have stayed single from the start,
Than to endure a life so torn apart.”
Perhaps my penchant for reading female-dominant stories is partly a way of rebelling against the realities of life.
On my site, there will be stories that are not only female-dominant novels, as long as they align with my taste, featuring strong female protagonists and fresh, captivating storylines. Usually, they will be modern or fantasy novels.
I rarely read ancient novels that aren’t female-dominant because they often contain details that easily trigger me. These include the portrayal of men having multiple wives and concubines, which was considered utterly normal in ancient society, and the frequent disdain towards women.
I cannot change the world, as the societal structure that discriminates against women and elevates men has existed for thousands of years. Changing it to truly give women an equal role in society is not something that can happen overnight. If you want gender equality now, it’s laughable. It will never happen when over 90% of national and business leaders are men.
But I can start by changing the mindset of women, sisters, and young girls. Don’t just read dull slogans urging women to be strong and independent; it’s hard to imagine. Read Female-dominant (FEDO) novels to see clearly what true female empowerment looks like.
I believe there will be more and more independent and strong women who prioritize their careers and personal stability over seeking a man to rely on.
In the future, there will be more successful female entrepreneurs, politicians, and thought leaders.
As for me, I will start by making this website grow stronger day by day.
I especially like the concept of “the male lead falls in love first, the female lead is the cold-hearted and rational one, and the male lead suffers because the female lead doesn’t reciprocate his feelings.”
Therefore, you’ll see that most of the novels on my website will belong to this trope. Of course, there will be exceptions.
In the future, I also plan to write my own novels following this concept, where the female lead in my stories will never be the weaker party. I hope I can do it soon.
The novels I highly recommend will be listed under the category:
There will be exceptionally brilliant stories, but there will also be mediocre ones. As the Female-dominant (FEDO) genre has fewer authors and readers, the number of high-quality novels is limited.
Therefore, I want to promote this genre to reach a wider audience, which will encourage more talented authors to choose to write in this style, leading to the birth of more outstanding Female-dominant (FEDO) novels.
The Chinese versions of the novels I use for translation are all sourced from various websites on the internet. You know, I don’t have much budget to purchase so many novels.
Therefore, if your financial situation allows, please support the authors by purchasing the original works. You can find the original works using the Chinese titles of the novels.

WARNING:
In some novels, there are certain unhealthy ideologies and illegal actions held by the main characters (for example, treating human lives as worthless, or casually deciding to kill someone, forcing others to do things they don’t want to do, arbitrarily imprisoning others, plotting to harm others, using violence to retaliate against violence,…).
This may be because the authors are still young and inexperienced, unaware that what they’re writing goes beyond moral standards and can negatively influence young readers.
It’s important that readers under 18 years old need to recognize these are illegal actions, not permitted to be carried out in real life, always keep a clear head while reading, treat these works only as entertainment, and don’t let yourself be influenced by those plot points.
