Dressing as Anna Karenina's Dame Life

Obviously, Tao Li's statement made the Duchess think about it, and she finally agreed, but let the children wear more.

Before leaving, Oblonsky and Ivanovitch helped the princess put Darcy and Prince Shtcherbatsky onto the bed.

"I'm really sorry, ma'am," said Anna apologetically. She and Seryozha decided to stay, because the princess alone would not be able to do anything now with a sick man and two drunks.

"Don't say that, child." Since Kitty's condition improved after Anna's arrival, this reserved lady has begun to be kind to Anna, even as kind to Tao Li and the others.

"I'm so glad you came to help me."

"Thank you, ma'am." Anna kissed the woman's cheek, and a beautiful blush appeared on her fair cheeks, which made the Duchess love her even more. No one would hate a beautiful person.

After feeding Darcy and Prince Shtcherbatsky some hangover soup, Ivanovich picked up his coat and was about to leave. Anna asked Seryozha to read a book in front of the fireplace, but the little guy Refused, he said that he also wanted to give away Dr. Ivanovic.

"Then put on the coat first." Anna bent over to button the boy. Even though the room was very warm and it took only half a minute to see him off, she was still afraid that Seryozha would freeze. Ivanovic looked at her a few more times.

"You young people are more careful now. I don't think I was so careful when I took Tao Li and the other three sisters." Princess Shtcherbatsky joked.

Anna's cheeks were flushed, she straightened up, pursed her lips, and fiddled with the hair on her cheeks to make them stay behind her ears.

"He's still too young." She said, and even she couldn't help laughing. Such a cautious behavior had never been thought of before, but it has become such a natural habit these days.

"Then go see Dr. Ivanovic. I'll go see if Kitty is taking good care of her alcoholic father." The Duchess said cheerfully, the smile lines at the corners of her eyes seemed to stretch out. Her daughter's recovery has made her look years younger.

"Okay, ma'am." Anna replied, and she took Seryozha's little hand and walked parallel to Ivanovich towards the door. The maid was holding a lamp in front of her, and when she opened the door, the cold wind blew in. Anna trembled a little, and pulled the boy into her arms. Seryozha smiled and leaned close to his mother, imagining himself as an Angora rabbit with long ears.

The small light can only reflect a distance of half a foot, and there are still clear tracks of wheels on the snow where the Oblonsky family left.

"You are here, Mrs. Karenin." Ivanovich suddenly said softly, his arrogance subsided, and his handsome eyebrows made people more comfortable. Maybe this was his original appearance, after Anna glanced at him Think in your heart.

She nodded with a smile, "Then goodbye, Dr. Ivanovic."

"Good-bye, doctor!" said Seryozha, raising his head from his mother's arms, baring his teeth and shaking his little hand.

Ivanovic stared at the woman, her black brocade-like hair and thick eyelashes, the dimples on her cheeks and the graceful lip line. He blinked and smiled. Moved, he thought of his mother who was far away in Germany.

"Good-bye, Madame Karenin, and dear Seryozha."

The car bell rang with its own unique rhythm, and the maid was still holding the lamp, asking Anna if she could go back.

"Well, let's go back." She said softly, holding Sergei's hand and going back, the door closed slowly, the snowflakes outside the house were blocked from moving forward, and they bumped against the dark door unwillingly. Again.

The lights in Karenin's study were still on at twelve o'clock, and Kearney reminded his master outside the door that it was time to rest, but he was just sent to sleep.

In the study room, Karenin was looking at something by the light, his serious expression would not make people suspect that he was thinking about a serious matter, but in fact, what was placed in front of the desk was completely cold and even became cold. Hard cakes, they still smelled delicious just a few days ago.

There was a pile of books stacked in front of Karenin, and he was rummaging through them with a frown. He didn't give up until half an hour passed. He propped his cheek with one hand, looked at the little cake, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Later, the maid who came in to make the bed found that her master had left a note saying that the small cakes on the table could be disposed of.

The maid looked at the hard frozen things, with question marks all over her head, she didn't understand why the weird master was upset when she wanted to clean up these things a few days ago.

"It's not something expensive either." She muttered, guessing that rich people are really weird.

On the Moscow side, it was almost early in the morning when Anna felt sleepy. She put the book on the bedside table, looked down at the sleeping child, kissed his forehead, turned off the light, and hugged Seryozha. In my arms, I closed my eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

Maybe she slept for an hour, or maybe only 10 minutes. The movement outside the door woke her up, and the voice of Skiva was faintly heard.

Anna woke up. She lifted the quilt, bent down to tuck the corners of the quilt for Seryozha, and made sure that no wind would get in. Then she put on a thick coat and went out.

As soon as she went out, she saw Princess Shtcherbatsky in a hurry with a sad face. Anna stopped her and asked, "What's the matter, madam?"

"Oh, Anna, why did you wake up, I mean good night, oh no..." The Duchess was obviously too anxious, she was even a little incoherent, Anna patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

"What the hell happened?"

"Oh, God, Dolly's baby is sick! It's scarlet fever!" the Duchess was on the verge of tears, and she was such a doting grandmother to her grandchildren that she almost jumped out of bed when she heard the news from the maid. Fall, God, it's terrible!

"Go down first." Anna decisively supported the Duchess, who almost put all her body weight on her body, poor lady, she must be terrified, Anna supported her with difficulty, while carefully descending the stairs while thinking.

In the hall, Oblonsky looked at Anna, who was still on the escalator, with his frozen red face, and his gray eyes were full of anxiety and panic. He had never dealt with this matter, and neither had Dolly. When he met him, the first thing he thought of was to find his sister Anna. She was smart since she was a child, and she would always know the solution.

"Anna, what should I do, what should I do!" repeated Oblonsky, who seemed almost to die of grief.

"Which child is it? What's the matter?" Anna speeded up and asked Skiva as she walked. The latter was holding on to the escalator with one leg on the ladder. His face was flushed, and even his eyes were red and swollen. He looked haggard, and his charming beard was graying.

"My youngest son, sweet little Nicholas, came home this evening with a bit of a cough, and Dolly made ginger soup for him, but it didn't work, and he started legal work a few hours ago, and the cook in the kitchen said maybe It's scarlet fever, what should I do, Anna?"

"Oh, God, this is too bad!" The Duchess straightened up, but it didn't mean she could face the truth. On the contrary, she looked even worse. She hadn't dealt with the fact that the children had scarlet fever, Even for a time, the healthy growth of the three sisters made her feel proud, but now, she is so at a loss, there is absolutely nothing she can do.

"I'm going to wake up Darcy, we'll go there now." Anna said quickly, and let go of the hand that was supporting the Duchess, allowing Skiva to help her.

"Okay, Anna, okay." Oblonsky nodded repeatedly. His soul hadn't gathered yet, and he was afraid that someone would ask him to sign a contract of prostitution that even a fool would not sign. The hair man will definitely write down tremblingly without hesitation

own name.

Anna ran upstairs quickly, biting her lip, wondering if she could wake Darcy.

Pushing open the door of the guest room together with the maid, holding a small lamp in his hand, Anna pushed the person on the bed almost rudely. Fortunately, Darcy was not the kind of person who almost died of drunkenness. He opened his eyes The puffy eyes asked in a daze what was wrong.

"Get up, Darcy, Dolly's boy, Nicholas, is ill. It's scarlet fever."

Darcy was still in a daze wondering who Tao Li's child was, but the pretense of scarlet fever stimulated his nerves, his eyes became clear instantly, he almost sat up suddenly, frowned and asked Ana, "Nicolas has scarlet fever?"

"Yes, God, Darcy, hurry up, we must hurry over."

"Okay, I'll be ready soon!" Darcy lifted the quilt and began to dress, and Anna also went out immediately. She returned to the room and began to tidy herself quickly. It took only a few minutes for her to finish, and she kissed After checking Seryozha, who was still sleeping, he blew out the small lamp, on which was pressed a note with a short handwriting.

"Let's go!" Darcy rushed out of the room with the medicine box in his hands, his hat was crooked, and he even buttoned it wrongly, but there was no time, and Anna could only remind him again in the carriage.

"Doctor Dolph, please cure my poor little grandson Nicholas." The Duchess begged with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I will." Darcy shook his hand to give him strength.

"Let's go," urged Oblonsky, and the three were about to leave when the princess stopped him suddenly.

"Schiva, go and fetch Dr. Ivanovic!"

Oblonsky stopped, looked back at Anna, and asked questions, when the princess's words rang out again.

"Dr. Ivanovich always graduated from a prestigious school. With him in my poor little Nicholas, I will definitely be more favored by God."

It was not a very good thing to say, but at this moment no one minded, Anna said to Oblonsky: "Go, brother, I think it is better this way." After she finished speaking, she looked at Darcy asking, who shook his head. Shaking his head, he doesn't mind.

Darcy said seriously: "Everything is for the patient."

The coachman in Prince Shtcherbatsky's house was a good driver. Although the carriage drove fast, it was very stable, and the thick snow was left behind before it could make a sound.Anna reminded Darcy that he had buttoned the wrong button, and Darcy buttoned it up with a frown.

As soon as they reached Oblonsky's house, the maid ran out with a lamp and looked alarmed.Anna pursed her lips, and Darcy walked quickly to Nicholas' room.

Pushing open the door, Tao Li was holding the boy's hand and sobbing. The children's voice was hoarse from crying, and they were wiping their tears with their little hands. They looked pitiful in pajamas and slippers.

"How's it going, Tao Li?"

Hearing the voice of the person coming, Tao Li wiped away her tears, she got up and hugged the woman in front of her sobbingly and said: "Anna, I don't know what to do, none of the children have suffered from scarlet fever, and none of the wives around me have suffered from scarlet fever." Ways to help."

"Calm down, Tao Li, let Darcy give Nicholas a diagnosis and treatment first." Anna patted the woman's shoulder comfortingly, and Darcy who was beside her had quickly come to the bedside, opened the medicine box and started diagnosis and treatment.

"Yes, I have to calm down." Dolly whispered to herself, looking at Anna and repeating, as if to encourage herself.

The children ran up and surrounded Anna, Tanya was sobbing a little, Grisha was holding back tears and his eyes were red, and Anna comforted them by kissing their little cheeks.

"Tanya, Grisha, can you go out first?" She was worried that Nikolay really had scarlet fever, and that would be bad, the children were too young to resist.

"No, Aunt Anna, we have to stay with Nicholas." The little girl said with big red eyes,

"Yes, we... don't leave." Grisha hiccupped, barely speaking clearly.

"Children, if you gather around here, Nicholas will not be able to breathe fresh air, and we all hope that he will get better soon, don't we?" Anna persuaded the children patiently.

Tanya bit her lip, Grisala touched Laanna's sleeve, frowned and asked, "If we go out, can he really get better soon?"

"Yes, baby." Anna assured the boy, who nodded, pulled Tanya's sleeve and said to Taoli: "Mom, let's go out first, and if Nicholas wakes up, please be sure to wake up." Call us."

"I will, my darlings." Dolly kissed the children on the cheek, proud of their understanding and caring, her Grisha was no longer the naughty child.

After the children went out, Anna bent slightly and asked the man.

"How is it, Darcy?"

Darcy put away the stethoscope, his brows were frowned, "It's scarlet fever, that's right, apart from febrile convulsions, there's already a little rash."

"What should I do?" Tao Li's voice trembled, and her fingertips were gently stroking the boy's only intact hair, hoping to make the painful-looking child feel better.

"Antibiotics are needed. When he wakes up, rinse his mouth with light salt water to reduce bacterial infection. The rash will be itchy. Hold his hands and feet to keep the child from moving around. Scrub his body with calamine lotion. " Darcy said quickly, and was about to take out antibiotics, but he found that they were gone, and that thing was not prepared with him. Most of the patients he treated in the past were adults, and scarlet fever is indeed the disease with the highest incidence rate among children. , he punched his forehead angrily.

At this moment, Oblonsky brought Dr. Ivanovic over, and when he opened the door, Ivanovic stopped the former.

"What's the matter?" Oblonsky asked eagerly with a frown, and Tao Li straightened up and looked at the man puzzled.

"I just came in from the outside, and my body is very cold. Please wait a moment." Ivanovich took out a warm handbag from his medicine box, wiped himself, and handed it to Oberon. Ski, this careful move made Anna look at him more.

"Ivanovic, do you have any antibiotics?" Darcy asked eagerly, the thick eyebrows on his chubby face were almost wrinkled.

"Yes, I have it." Ivanovic dug out the antibiotic from the medicine cabinet and handed it to the former.

"Thank God!" Tao Li clasped her hands together and muttered gratefully.

"Have you been diagnosed with scarlet fever?" Ivanovic came over after warming his hands and body. He asked while observing the little boy.

"Yes, you can double check." Darcy replied while drawing antibiotics by injection.

"I think so, is the calamine lotion ready?" Ivanovic asked after checking it carefully again.

"It has been prepared in the kitchen." Anna turned around from the door and said that she had just asked the maid waiting in the corridor to prepare.

Tao Li was sitting in front of the bed, holding the child halfway. Her little Nicholas was afraid of injections. He was still having a high fever, but he had to take it. She listened to Darcy's words and grabbed the child's little hand. , Ivanovic grabbed the child's little foot, and as expected, Nicholas struggled violently during the injection, even though he was in a daze, he kept screaming for pain.

Tao Li's tears were about to fall, but she couldn't, she could only bear it, biting her lips, and gently comforting the boy with her hands.

"It's all right, baby, just for a moment, we'll get better soon, both Tanya and Grisha want you to get well soon, don't be afraid, baby, I'm right here..."

These words did not reduce Nicholas' pain. The child was still young, and the pain-resistant special formula had changed everything, but what could be done? Anna looked at all this worriedly, and her thoughts drifted to Seryozha. It was Seryozha who would never have behaved better than Dolly, perhaps worse.

Oblonsky didn't dare to stretch out his hand, he was afraid that his rough hands and feet would hurt the little boy, he stood aside anxiously, his fair face turned red from anxiety, and he even kept a little The snot itself did not notice.

"Mrs. Karenin, you go out first, the disease is contagious."

Anna thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, but let me take care of you after dawn." She didn't insist on staying. Now there are only four adults here, three children, one is sick, and two are sick. One needs to be taken care of, and they can't all fall ill at once. There will be no way for Tao Li to persuade her to rest for a while, so she can only preserve her energy by herself.

"You have to think carefully. If you haven't had scarlet fever, it's best not to get too close to this place." Ivanovic frowned. He is a doctor and he would not like to see a healthy person collapse in front of him. of.

Anna wasn't sure if she had scarlet fever or not. Judging from Oblonsky's and Dolly's reactions, she probably didn't. She hesitated for a moment and decided to put it in a vague way. "I've thought it through." She paused After a while, he said firmly: "My help can have good results. After all, the manpower is not as sufficient as we thought."

Ivanovic raised his eyebrows, he looked at the other party for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

"But you have to remember to protect yourself and wash your hands more diligently."

"I will." Anna nodded.

The whole evening was a disaster, Nikolay's fever came and went, the boy was babbling and struggling like a calf, and Oblonsky stared into his bloodshot eyes, helping every now and then. Handle, this big man carefully imagined himself as a rabbit, and tried to be as light as possible.

Darcy and Ivanovich are both doctors, so it's okay to stay up all night like this, but in the end Oblonsky couldn't do it. He worked all day today, was startled and tired, and was jolted in the carriage for a long time , At eight o'clock in the morning, I couldn't hold it anymore, as if I could fall down with a poke.

Dolly told her husband to go to rest, and Nikolai's condition stabilized, the rash increased, and there was something frightening on his pretty little face, and Oblonsky went out with his eyes almost half-closed. When I got to the big bed, I fell down, and I didn't even have the strength to snore.

Anna took Oblonsky's place. The children were still asleep and they were exhausted. When Anna went out last night, Tanya curled up on the sofa and fell asleep with her brother in her arms. The servants were in the kitchen. Busy, but no one noticed, Anna frowned and brought a thick quilt to the children, and kissed their brows pitifully, then she leaned on the sofa, guarded them, and took a short rest.

Prince Shtcherbatsky's house, Seryozha woke up and didn't see his mother, but saw the note left by his mother, he frowned, quickly washed himself in the bathroom, and saw Shcherbats in the hall Duchess Key.

"Duchess, can I go to mother's?" he asked as slowly and politely as possible, but was still a little eager.

"No, you must stay here, Seryozha," said the princess gently, wiping away her tears.

As soon as the words fell, Kitty's voice came from the escalator. She drank the potion with sleeping ingredients as usual last night, and her house was farthest from the escalator, so she was not awakened.

Princess Shtcherbatsky looked up at Kitty, who came down the ladder with a slight frown.

"What's the matter, mother?" she asked, after kissing Seryozha on the cheek.

"Tao Li's youngest son, Nicholas, was sick. They said it was scarlet fever. Anna and Dr. Dolph passed away."

"Scarlet fever!" Kitty screamed a little, her slender eyebrows furrowed, and she bit her lip, "Then I have to go and see, there are not many of them, and Tao Li needs help."
