Chapter 476: The Baby is Crying Again

Xia Ling gently and firmly held the baby's hand to prevent him from hurting himself.

However, she became more anxious. "Chauffeur, please drive faster."

The car sped off. Soon, they reached the hospital.

The doctor did a check and said, "It's an allergy. However, I'm not sure what's the cause of the allergy. Recently, did the baby eat or touch something that he usually doesn't?"

Xia Ling frowned and thought about it. "No, he didn't."

Nanny Zhou added. "We're always careful when giving new things to the baby at home. We always let him eat a little bit of everything, or touch something briefly to ensure that the items are harmless before allowing him to eat or use them. Today, the baby ate the same things as usual and even wore old clothes that he had worn before. If we're talking about something different..."

Nanny Zhou gave Xia Ling a distressed look.

Suddenly, Xia Ling reacted. The difference was that there were more guests today at home. Could it be that the baby's allergy was related to them?

As it concerned her child, Xia Ling racked her brains and went through the details of what happened at home one by one. Suddenly, she thought of something. "Auntie Liu wiped the baby's face using her sleeve!"

Everyone turned around to look at Auntie Liu.

"How... how could you blame me?!" Auntie Liu felt it was absurd. "Ye Xingling, don't slander me! How could you blame me once your son faces problems? I only wiped his face a little. What's wrong with that? In the past, I also wiped Feifei like that, and Feifei didn't get any allergies!"

The doctor ignored her screaming and said, "This lady, can you please take off your coat for us to do a test on the fabric? If the baby is really allergic to certain parts of the coat, it will be very dangerous. We have to ensure the source of the allergy and prevent him from coming into contact with it in the future."

"What right do you have?!" Auntie Liu yelled. "What right do you have to accuse me of causing his allergy? What if it's because he ate something wrong?!"

"Are you going to take your coat off?" Xia Ling usually could not be bothered to argue with her, but since it involved her child, she could turn into a female demon anytime and anywhere. "If you don't take it off, don't blame me for being impolite!"

She fiercely glared at Auntie Liu and made her afraid.

Auntie Liu did not know why, but she started to take her off her coat obediently and handed it to the doctor. She had a feeling that if she did not follow Xia Ling's instructions, the consequences would be grave.

The doctor took the coat and did a test. After a while, he came out and told them the test results. "The source of his allergy has been identified—it's due to a synthetic fiber on this coat. I'm afraid that the baby can't be in contact with any clothes with synthetic fibers any more."

"What?" Auntie Liu cried. "That's ridiculous. How can anyone in the world be allergic to synthetic fibers? Doctor, are you mistaken? If this child is really allergic to synthetic fibers, why is he fine after wearing so many clothes but only allergic to my coat?"

Xia Ling and the others looked at her like she was an idiot.

"The baby's clothes are made of pure cotton and other natural ingredients. There's not a trace of synthetic fibers." The doctor said, "I guess he usually doesn't touch any synthetic fibers when he's at home."

Xia Ling nodded. "We don't have any fabrics that are made from synthetic fibers at home."

The Pei Family was prominent and were very particular about what they ate and wore. Thus, they always wore the most comfortable clothes. Even their subordinates wore clothes that were made of the best natural materials. How could the baby come into contact with synthetic fibers at home? She only discovered that he was allergic to synthetic fibers when he was three months old.

"This is called a rich man's disease." Grandma Ye comforted Xia Ling. "Well, he was born in a family like yours anyway. You just have to be more careful from now on. It's OK."

Xia Ling still felt that it was troublesome. "He's young now; it's fine since he stays at home most of the time. What happens after he grows up and goes out? The entire world is filled with synthetic fiber." As she spoke, she glanced at Auntie Liu.

Auntie Liu's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?"

Xia Ling coldly said, "In the future, stay further away from my baby."

The printed clothes worn by Auntie Liu were not only gaudy, but they were also made with questionable materials. No one knew where she bought them from, and one could tell they were not high-end goods at a glance. On the other hand, although Grandma Ye was from the countryside, she was wearing cotton clothes and looked clean and tidy.

Auntie Liu felt that she was being deeply discriminated against.

Xia Ling had already turned around to instruct the chauffeur. "Go home first and tell the nannies that the baby is allergic to synthetic fibers. Tell them to clean and disinfect the house thoroughly again. Oh yes, drive another car back here. Just now, Auntie Liu sat in that car; there may be synthetic fibers left on the seats."

Auntie Liu received another blow.

"Ye Xingling, you're looking down on me!" She screeched.

"Yes, I'm looking down on you. So what?" Xia Ling had a bad temper, and this woman in front of her kept provoking her and refused to admit her mistake after harming her child. How could Xia Ling be polite? "Don't even think about going to the villa anymore. In the future, don't come ever again. Thank you."

"Ye Xingling, I'm your mother! You have no respect for your elders!" Auntie Liu became hysterical.

Xia Ling frowned and looked at the chauffeur again.

The chauffeur had followed Pei Ziheng for a long time and had witnessed many violent storms. At this time, he instantly understood what Xia Ling meant when she gave him that look. She wanted him to drag Auntie Liu out of the hospital.

Auntie Liu's plan of staying in the villa was destroyed.

The baby took medicine and was treated in the hospital. When Xia Ling carried him and returned with Grandma Ye in high spirits, the villa had been thoroughly disinfected.

Pei Ziheng was also back and was drinking tea in the living room.

Xia Ling paused slightly at the doorstep.

Pei Ziheng lifted his head to look at her and saw her grandma beside her. Under the soft lighting of the entrance hall, the blind old woman looked kind as she held a bamboo stick and wore plain and clean clothes. Pei Ziheng remembered Xia Ling saying that her relationship with her grandma was good. Although he did not know she was just her grandma in this life, he wondered why she wanted to establish relations with the relatives of the original owner of her body. However, since she liked it, he accommodated her.

Pei Ziheng put down his white porcelain teapot and greeted Grandma Ye very gently. "Welcome. Please stay a few days to accompany Xiao Ling. If you need anything, just tell Nanny Zhou."

Grandma Ye could not see and only heard his voice.

Although Pei Ziheng's voice was gentle, there was an air of authority and overbearance in his tone. It must be hard for Xiao Ling to be with a man like him.

However, on the surface, Grandma Ye only smiled amiably and thanked him.
