Luo Tianyun threw away the papers heâd been holding and rushed to her side. He wiped the saliva off her mouth and patted her back. âWhat happened? Did you catch the flu? Why are you sneezing? Are you dressed too lightly?â
Luo Shuyan didnât keep track of the time but she figured she was sneezing for around 2 to 3 minutes before she stopped.
Her eyes were red as she told her dad, âPapa, Iâ¦â
She wanted to continue the explanation of her dream, but the sniffles immediately came back, and this time, it lasted even longer than before!
Luo Shuyan was scared to death. She wasnât sure what was happening. Suddenly, she recalled that at the end of the dream, she was told to âNot Give Any Spoilersâ..
Did this mean that she couldnât tell others about what sheâd dreamt about?
She finally stopped sneezing when she realized this fact.
Really? Could she not even let her father know? But how should she prove whether her dream was real if she couldnât ask her father?
She wanted to try, but the thought of it made her even more scared. She felt like it was a horrible idea to try to let her father know about her dream.
Children had a weaker immune system before the age of three. Luo Shuyan stopped constantly falling sick after she turned three. However, it was a very stressful feat for Luo Tianyun whenever she fell sick. He didnât dare to ignore the problem and he immediately took his car keys. He held Luo Shuyanâs hand and proceeded to walk towards the door. âYou donât get the flu often. Have you fallen sick? Papa will bring you to the hospital for a checkup.â
Luo Shuyan was still in her own little world, trying to figure out whether her dream was real, so she couldnât decipher what her father was saying.
Her father carried her onto the car and Luo Shuyan finally came back to her senses when her father parked the car at the entrance of the hospital.
âPapa, what are we doing at the hospital?â
Luo Tianyuan looked concerned and somber. âWeâre here to check if youâre sick.â
âPapa, Iâm feeling fine,â Luo Shuyan said.
âBut, you kept sneezing just now.â
ââ¦â
She didnât know what to do. âI have a reason for that, but itâs not because Iâm sick.â
In Luo Tianyuanâs point of view, he thought that his daughter was being stubborn and that she didnât want him to worry about her.
When Luo Shuyan was much younger, Luo Tianyuan had bought a lot of parenting books. Through that, he found out that it was inevitable for children to get coughs and colds. In most cases, they didnât need to get IV drips, and the children would get better as long as their parents took good care of them. Thus, back then, Luo Tianyuan parentsâ first reaction was to send his daughter to the hospital for an IV drip, and his father even got angry when he didnât allow them to do so.
Despite that, Luo Tianyuan wasnât willing to settle for less for his daughter. Thus, the jabs that his daughter had received were way less than people her age.
Yet, his daughter was still so fearful of hospitals.
âYou donât necessarily need to get a jab even if youâre sick. Donât worry, Papa will decide when I know your actual condition. You wonât be getting an IV drip if itâs not necessary.â
Luo Shuyan was anxious. âIâm not sick. Iâm just⦠Achoo!â
She couldnât control her thoughts and once again, she was reminded of her dream. In the endâ¦
âOf course, true enoughâ, Luo Tianyuan thought. He was worried that Luo Shuyan was just playing it cool and hugged her. He said with a serious tone, âEnough.â
ââ¦â Luo Shuyan was speechless.
She felt so wronged.
They registered and took a number as they waited. Finally, the nurse called her number and Luo Tianyuan brought her into the doctorâs office. The strong smell of disinfectant filled her nostrils and Luo Shuyan shivered when she saw the doctor in white.
This doctor wasnât like the doctor from the clinic outside her housing area.
He asked questions about her general wellbeing before using a stethoscope to listen to her heartbeat. âSince her only symptom is the sneezing, I donât think thereâs anything wrong with her. She can go home and please take note of her condition for the next few days.â
Luo Shuyan secretly let out a breath of relief.
Luo Tianyuan had other ideas though. He wouldnât have been so worried if it were only the flu. The main point was that his daughter had experienced a frightening encounter the day before.
âDoctor, can you check again? Do you know about the suicide attempt at a primary school? My daughter happened to witness it and is in shock. She hasnât been eating well since yesterday. She had been sneezing non stop just now, and usually, she would only sneeze once or twice.â
Luo Tianyuan was visibly anxious.
The doctor didnât find his anxiousness weird. Since the start of the one-child family planning policy in China, most families only had one child, and the child would be the apple of their parentsâ eyes.
It was common for children to have headaches and fevers while growing up, and doctors were used to this. Yet, most parents would be overly anxious. In essence, thereâs nothing more touching than the love of a parent.
The doctor was used to this. He looked down and pondered for a moment. He took a pen and wrote, âThen, letâs do a blood test. If thereâs nothing wrong, Iâll prescribe some sleeping pills suitable for children.â
âGreat, that sounds great.â Luo Tianyuan felt way better.
After the doctor wrote his prescription, Luo Tianyuan paid and brought his daughter to the second floor to draw her blood.
Luo Shuyan was devestated, and it was written on her face. She knew that there was nothing wrong with her body. If she was truly not feeling well, she didnât mind getting a blood check. However, she knew that there was nothing wrong with her as of now!
She wanted to flee as soon as she thought about the fact that she would have to be poked by a needle.

She was very scared of needles!
Was this the price to pay for attempting to âgive spoilersâ?
She wanted to cry out loud when she thought about the horrifying dream she had and her current predicament.
She didnât want to die!!
