Uninvited Guest
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The chat erupted in chaos.
Zhao Liang and his wife had sought Chen Yuâs help with a baby name, but now Chen Yu was instructing them to call emergency services and the police!
Clearly, something sinister was afoot, and something interesting was bound to happen.
âDr. Chen, are we in danger of an accident?â Su Wen stammered nervously, glancing towards the door with growing apprehension.
Could there be a potential intruder, someone who might harm them? Was this why Chen Yu urged them to call for help?
âIs there an uninvited guest in our house, Dr. Chen?â Both Zhao Liang and Su Wen shared the same thoughts.
Their wealthy background made them acutely aware of the possibility of robbery.
âUninvited guest isnât a bad term,â Chen Yu acknowledged nonchalantly.
âConsidering your surroundings, itâs clear you and your wife are financially comfortable. Did you hire a nanny before the baby arrived?â
!!..
âYes, we are fortunate financially, and I did secure a nanny beforehand,â Zhao Liang confirmed.
An avid viewer of Chen Yuâs streams, Su Wen spent her entire pregnancy glued to the broadcasts, solidifying them as hardcore fans.
As such, Zhao Liang readily understood the veiled message in Chen Yuâs words. He didnât dare hold back any information.
âAs soon as we learned Su Wen was pregnant, I contacted a reputable childcare agency,â he explained.
âWe booked their top nanny well in advance. She was supposed to provide
24-hour care after Su Wenâs hospital delivery.â
âCould it be?â A sudden realization dawned on Zhao Liang.
âDr. Chen, are you suggesting the nanny is this uninvited guest?â
âPlease, let me finish,â Chen Yu interjected with a serious expression.
âDid the nanny request a leave of absence yesterday, citing a family emergency that required her to return home for a few days?â
âYes, thatâs exactly what happened,â Su Wen confirmed.
Their contract stipulated year-round service with the nanny residing at their home, dedicated to caring for their newborn around the clock.
âLast night, she approached me desperately, claiming her newborn grandchild was suddenly ill,â Su Wen continued.
âShe insisted on accompanying her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchild to the hospital for a checkup.â
âI felt for her distress, so I granted her leave and even offered 2,000 yuan as consolation money.â
A chilling coincidence emerged.
The top nanny, a woman in her fifties, had a daughter-in-law who recently gave birth.
Not only that, but both babies were born just two days apart, and both deliveries occurred at the same hospital!
âHer request for leave was a smokescreen,â Chen Yu declared.
âSeeing a doctor with her child is a mere facade. Sheâs the one whoâs truly sick.â A jolt of terror surged through Su Wen and Zhao Liang as they rose from their chairs simultaneously.
Su Wen instinctively cradled their newborn closer.
Chen Yu continued with a heavy sigh. âThe nanny has been unwell for over twenty days. Do you understand the gravity of the situation?â
âHow could she do this?!â Su Wen roared, her voice laced with fury.
The contract clearly outlined the nannyâs obligation to disclose any illness and immediately isolate herself from the baby.
For over twenty days, the nanny kept her sickness a secret, potentially exposing their newborn to a severe health risk.
The consequences were too horrifying to contemplate.
Zhao Liangâs heart plummeted, praying their worst fears wouldnât come true.
Zhao Liang had meticulously prepared for his childâs arrival. Heâd secured a top-tier nanny, devoured parenting resources through books and videos, and even enrolled in a month-long childcare class.
Newborns possessed minimal resistance to illness, so ensuring the health of parents, relatives, and caregivers was paramount.
Prior to the nannyâs arrival, Zhao Liang had her undergo a comprehensive physical examination at a local hospital to rule out any infectious or detrimental diseases that could harm the baby.
Su Wenâs voice trembled as tears streamed down her face. âDr. Chen, is the nannyâs illness contagious? Did my baby catch it?â
âYes,â Chen Yuâs confirmation sent a shiver down Zhao Liang and Su Wenâs spines.
They felt like theyâd been plunged into a frozen wasteland.
The nanny wasnât suffering from a common illness; it was highly contagious.
The virus had already spread from the nanny to their fragile child.
The baby would soon exhibit symptoms of a seizureâfoaming at the mouth, vacant eyes, and uncontrollable tremors.
Later, jaundice would likely set in.
âIf you hadnât joined the livestream today,â Chen Yu explained, âthe baby wouldâve started showing signs of jaundice within a few days.â
âDoctors would diagnose it as neonatal septicemia and viral encephalitis.â
Su Wen was wracked with sobs, her legs giving way as she crumpled to the ground.
Zhao Liang swiftly caught her, gently guiding her to a chair.
He then took the baby from her trembling arms.
âNeonatal septicemia⦠viral encephalitisâ¦â
These medical terms hung heavy in the air, like two bombs detonating in the young coupleâs world.
The chat erupted in outrage.
âThis nanny deserves everything coming to her!â
âHer actions are beyond unprofessional; theyâre criminal!â
âAs a famous nanny, how could she be so ignorant of a newbornâs weak immune system?!â1
âShe shouldâve isolated herself immediately upon falling ill and urged the parents to take the baby for a checkup. But where was her own sense of responsibility?â
âWe rely on word-of-mouth recommendations to find nannies. Just because a company labels them âgold medalâ doesnât translate to good care.â
âI wouldnât use a nanny service anymore. If my wife gets pregnant, Iâll get my license and take care of the baby myself!â
âCall the police! Drag that nanny back for a checkup! Until sheâs treated, there wonât be any evidence!â
âSepticemia and encephalitis can cause lifelong complications. Recovery is difficult, expensive, and requires constant attention.â
The plight of Zhao Liang and Su Wen resonated with countless parents in the live chat.
The pain and rage were palpable.
Anyone with a child could understand their desire to see the âgolden-medal nannyâ face the consequences.
The situation was further complicated by the nannyâs own grandson, born just two days before their child.
âWhat kind of evil person could do such a thing?â Zhao Liang roared, his eyes bloodshot with fury. âI⦠I will never let her get away with this!â
âWhy would she do this?â Su Wen sobbed, her voice heavy with despair.
âBecause you gave her too much,â Chen Yu replied..
