Chapter 1631: Chapter 1631: I Don’t Want to Lie Down
He must have heard what I said just now.
Actually, even if he does ten thousand good deeds, she won’t change her opinion of him.
Nor will she try to accept him, like him…
And using him doesn’t make her feel guilty at all.

Qi Ruigang left, returning to London.
Ruan Tianling and his group quickly relocated to a nearby country—Denmark.
Aside from being unconscious, Ansel’s physical condition seemed fine.
Ruan Tianling did not opt for hospitalization; instead, he found a fairy tale-like house in this Fairy Tale Kingdom to stay in.
Under normal circumstances, Jian Yufei would have explored this country thoroughly.
But now, she didn’t have the heart for anything. Every day, she stayed by Ansel’s side.
Half a month passed, during which Ansel woke up a few times. Each time, it was less than half an hour before he fell back asleep.
His periods of unconsciousness grew longer each time.
This time, he had been asleep for five days—
Jian Yufei gently lifted his little hand with the IV needle attached. Due to the prolonged insertion, there was a bruised lump on the back of his hand.
Moreover, his pale, delicate hand was covered in needle marks.
Jian Yufei carefully cupped his hand, her heart aching unbearably.
Her child had suffered since he was small, and not only had she failed to be there to protect him as he grew, now she was letting him endure such torment. She hated herself so much she wanted to slap herself.
Why did she have to drag her child into this? Why was she powerless to change anything?
Tears silently streamed down Jian Yufei’s face, falling onto Ansel’s hand.
She leaned down and kissed his little hand, her heart aching painfully.
And at that moment, Ansel’s eyelashes trembled slightly.
His dreary eyes opened. His once chubby, rosy cheeks had thinned considerably.
“Mommy…”
Hearing his weak voice, Jian Yufei’s body jolted.
She quickly leaned forward with joy and asked, “Baby, you’re awake! Do you feel any discomfort?”
Every time he woke up, Jian Yufei seized the moment to ask questions.
She wanted to understand his physical condition, his feelings.
“Mommy, did I fall asleep again?” Ansel asked, his voice filled with grievance and discomfort.
Although he was very brave, deep down, he was still a little over four years old. When sick, he felt weak and vulnerable.
Jian Yufei didn’t know how to respond. She could only smile and comfort him: “Ansel, don’t be afraid. The doctors will cure your illness soon. Mommy will always stay with you, so don’t be scared of anything.”
Ansel’s jet-black eyes blinked: “Mommy, I feel like my body is getting weaker and weaker.”
“That’s because you’ve been sleeping for too long and lack exercise, that’s why it feels like this. It’s not a big deal,” Jian Yufei lied.
“Mommy…” Ansel pursed his small lips, “When will they cure my illness? I don’t want to stay in bed; I feel terrible. I don’t want to be sick.”
Tears welled up in Jian Yufei’s eyes. “Very soon, they will cure you very soon…”
“You’re lying to me.”
“…I’m not. Ansel, Mommy isn’t lying to you. You will definitely recover. It just takes some time, really.”
Ansel lowered his gaze slightly and said sadly, “Mommy, tell me the truth. Am I about to die?”
“That’s not true!” Jian Yufei refuted firmly. “Mommy swears, you will definitely be okay!”
Ansel looked at her for a moment, then chose to believe her: “Mommy, I believe you.”
