My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 721 Little Dragon Cubs’ Collective Fever 2
Without wasting time asking for reasons, Mo Yinhe ordered Fengjue, "Go call some people over and carry the children into the house."
All the children had high fevers. With time being critical, treating their illness was the priority.
Luckily, his Mingjing is a Divine Doctor, Mo Yinhe thought with relief.
Fengjue nodded. "Yes."
Fengjue went out to summon people. Soon after, several guards entered, each carrying a child, and followed Mo Yinhe off the plane.
While carrying Ye Nianbai, Tang Zhou berated himself the entire way, "It’s all my fault. I didn’t take good care of the children. I thought they were just exhausted from being up all night, and that’s why they slept so soundly. I didn’t even check on each child’s condition. How could I have been so careless?"
As Mo Yinhe walked, he asked, "Why were they busy all night, and why were they with you?"
Tang Zhou explained what had happened, telling him how the children had extinguished a forest fire in S Country that could have caused a massive disaster.
Tang Zhou spoke with excitement, "You should have seen them! These kids are incredible—they even managed to create a Water Tornado! Even my young assistant was in awe of them and said we absolutely must thank them properly once things settle down."
Mo Yinhe frowned, his gaze sharpening. Could the children’s high fevers be related to fighting the fire?
One child getting a high fever might be from catching a chill, but all of them? It definitely wasn’t just a simple cold.
Mo Yinhe carried one of the children into the house, gently laid them on a large bed, and then called Si Mingjing.
Si Mingjing hurried over, with the composed Bo Leng following her.
Mo Yinhe was sitting at the bedside, taking the children’s temperatures with an electronic thermometer. When he saw Si Mingjing stride in, he said in a low voice, "Mingjing, come quickly! Look at the children, what’s wrong with them? They all have fevers of 40 degrees!"
It’s a good thing they’re Little Dragons and not ordinary children, Mo Yinhe thought. Otherwise, with fevers of 40 degrees, I’d be losing my mind.
Si Mingjing hummed in acknowledgment and went over to take Ye Nianbai’s pulse first.
"How is it?" Mo Yinhe, sitting beside them, fixed his worried gaze on Xiaobai’s fever-flushed cheeks, truly concerned.
After taking the pulse, Si Mingjing didn’t speak immediately. She looked up at Bo Leng, who stood out distinctly beside them, and nodded.
Bo Leng pressed his temples, standing with his hands clasped behind his back. "It’s my fault."
Mo Yinhe’s expression darkened. "Brother-in-law, what’s going on?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
With a heavy voice, Bo Leng said, "I underestimated their determination and perseverance in firefighting."
When his young nephews had called for help, Bo Leng had given them a feasible plan. However, he hadn’t considered that they didn’t understand the concept of ’acting within one’s limits.’ Hearing now that all the children had persistent high fevers, Bo Leng knew the situation was bad.
"Brother-in-law, just tell me clearly!" Mo Yinhe was in no mood for Bo Leng’s cryptic remarks.
Bo Leng frowned. "The fever is caused by the complete depletion of their vital energy. Common fever reducers are useless against this. They need to replenish their vital energy."
Seeing Bo Leng’s grave expression, Mo Yinhe’s heart plummeted. A bad feeling crept over him. "How do we replenish their vital energy? What kind of supplements do they need? Don’t tell me this is going to be difficult!"
Just as he feared, Bo Leng said, "Supplements won’t work."
Seeing Mo Yinhe on the verge of an outburst, Bo Leng lowered his voice, trying to project calm. "Don’t panic."
"Do you think those words mean anything to me right now? Look at my sons, burning up! If their brains are damaged, will you take responsibility?"
His sons are all so clever and quick-witted. If their brains were damaged by this fever, who could possibly compensate for such a loss?
Bo Leng stated flatly, "Panicking is useless."
Mo Yinhe felt a knot of fury tighten in his throat. Si Mingjing reached out her hand and gently smoothed his chest twice to help him calm his breathing. "Let’s hear what Big Brother has to say," she said softly.
Mo Yinhe’s face was grim and terrifying.
Bo Leng pondered for a moment, then said, "There’s no other way for now. We can only transfer vital energy to them. I can only transfer vital energy to Fengyin. For the other children, I’m powerless. The transfer must be done by the people who raised them from a young age."
Bo Leng opened a WeChat group and briefly described the children’s situation.
Instantly, the group chat exploded with activity, voice messages flying back and forth.
Gu Changbin, frantic, cursed in the group: "What was that kid thinking, trying to be a hero? I’ve told him since he was little: rush to the front for eating, drinking, and fun, but there’s no need to be a show-off in other matters! Wait for me, I’m coming right now! It’s Baitown City, right?"
Su Zhi was also fuming: "Mo Yinhe, is this how you take care of my Yangyang? I only sent him to you a few days ago, and you let him get like this! Just you wait, I’m coming over to throttle you!"
Xi Jinrong wasted no words: "I’m on my way immediately! I know the boy I raised; he’d be right in the thick of any action! I might be delayed about ten hours on the road. Sis, please take good care of Leilei during this time."
Sheng Liuyun worriedly asked: "Is my Liangliang okay? Should I come over? Sis, how is Liangliang?"
Yun Yin asked: "Xiaosu is okay too, right?"
Bo Leng posted the list of affected children in the group. Yun Yin carefully read it three times. Confirming Yun Xiaosu’s name wasn’t on it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Si Lisao also kept it brief: "I’m heading to Baitown City immediately."
Lu Jinyi said: "Wait, Fengyin, Yangyang, Jingzhe, Shurong, and Leilei are all manageable, but what about Xiaobai?"
For a moment, the group chat fell silent: "..."
Bo Leng’s expression was grave; this was precisely what worried him. The other children were manageable—the brothers could be called to transfer vital energy. The most difficult case was Xiaobai.
Xiaobai had grown up by Mo Yinhe’s side; he didn’t have one of these ’brothers’ who could transfer vital energy to him.
The vital energy of the Dragon Clan isn’t innate; it’s cultivated over time.
The other Little Dragon cubs were each raised by one of the brothers, who specifically cultivated their vital energy. Generally, a cub’s vital energy would closely resemble that of the brother who raised them. Xiaobai, however, had essentially grown up wild, without this specific cultivation.
To make a rough analogy, it’s like needing a blood transfusion—you need a matching type.
The same applies to vital energy.
This was one of the reasons they had initially insisted on fighting Mo Yinhe for custody of the children.
Although Mo Yinhe was their father, he wasn’t of the Dragon Clan. If a day came when a child needed a transfer of vital energy, this would be the problem. None of the brothers’ vital energy was likely to be compatible with Xiaobai’s. At this moment, no one could transfer vital energy to him.
Bo Leng concluded, "You all come over first!"
Gu Changbin: "I’m setting off immediately!"
Su Zhi: "I’m rerouting to Baitown City now!"
Si Lisao: "Already en route."
Xi Jinrong: "Setting off right now."
Sheng Liuyun: "Maybe I should go too and give it a try? What if it’s a long shot, but my vital energy happens to work?"
Yun Yin: "If you can’t make a proper analogy, then just keep quiet. I’ll go too; perhaps I can be of some use."
Lu Jinyi: "Then I’ll go too. I’ll bring Little Xiangru; the kid keeps saying he misses his older brothers and sisters. @Si Lisao, come pick me up, and we’ll head over together."
