The doctor issued another order and said to Joanna: “Go get a blood test! Then find me
when the results come out.”
“Okay doctor. Should I draw blood first or give the child antipyretics first?” Joanna asked
worriedly.
“Give the child antipyretics first. Then go to draw blood.” The doctor explained.
“Okay doctor. My child was fine before. She has never been sick, and I don’t know why she
suddenly had a fever.” Joanna stood up from the chair holding the child.
The doctor: “How old is your child?”
Joanna: “Six months.”
“Normal. Before six months, the child has the maternal immunity, so it is generally difficult
for the child to become ill before six months. After six months, special attention must be
paid to it.” The doctor explained.
Joanna was enlightened, thanked the doctor, and walked out of the consultation room.
Ellis took antipyretics and checked the dosage. He said, “Joanna, you can hold the baby

Isn’t it fine now?”
While comforting, Ellis opened the medicine bottle and poured out the corresponding dose
of medicine.
Joanna said: “Well. I believed that Gia was healthy and had never been ill. The doctor just
informed me that newborns have antibodies from the mother’s body for the first six
months, making them resistant to illness. My six-month-old daughter no longer has any
antibodies, so she becomes ill. I’m extremely concerned that she will become frequently ill
in the future.”
Ellis handed the medicine to Joanna.
Joanna took the medicine and fed it to her daughter: “Be good, baby. After taking the
medicine, the fever will subside. Mom knows that you must be suffering now. It’s because
Mom didn’t take good care of you. Mom will definitely be more careful in the future.”
Gia smelled the fragrant medicine and drank it obediently.
“Your daughter is really good! What’s her name?” Ellis asked.
Joanna: “Her name is Gia.”
Ellis felt that the name was a bit special, “It sounds nice.”
“Ellis, thank you! If it weren’t for you today, I wouldn’t know what to do.” Joanna put the
measuring cup into the bag and did not forget to thank Ellis.
“It’s just a small matter, don’t thank me all the time. What is this list for?” Ellis saw that
she was holding a list in her hand and asked.
Joanna: “Oh, this is a blood draw, you have to pay first.”
After Joanna finished speaking, Ellis immediately took the form and took the initiative to
pay the fee.
Seeing Ellis queuing up at the toll window, Joanna was deeply moved.
Her Mom was right, she was not the kind of strong woman shown on TV, she still wanted a
man to rely on.
It would be a bit difficult for her to take care of the child by herself.

person likes her a lot.
After paying the fee, Joanna carried Gia to draw blood.
Gia was too small to understand the surrounding affairs.
When the nurse drew her blood, she frowned because of the pain and wanted to cry.
Ellis immediately turned on the phone and showed her the photos on the phone to attract
her attention.
After the blood drawing was over, Ellis put away his phone.
“You’re pretty good at coaxing children.” Joanna said with a smile.
“I have a little nephew, and I tease him every time I visit my hometown.” Ellis explained,
“I really like children.”
Joanna nodded.
Twenty minutes later, the test results came out.
Gia was sweating all over, and the fever subsided.
Joanna hugged the child and showed the test sheet to the doctor.
