Although the two children were not very willing, they were not the kind of children who were willful and disobedient, so they obediently followed Xi Yue.
After Xi Yue left with the child, the younger Xi Yike was also sleeping. Xi Quan told Ye Qing to sleep for a while as well. Although she was in the hospital and postpartum care couldn't be very comfortable, Xi Quan wanted to make sure Ye Qing could get some rest before she could be discharged.
Ye Qing was also tired. Now that there was no one else in the ward except for her and Xi Quan, she didn't stand on ceremony.
After watching Ye Qing fall asleep in the ward, Xi Quan quietly left the room.
A lot has happened recently, including Xu Xiaoyue being blackmailed. Although these things did not happen to Ye Qing, Ye Qing did give birth prematurely because of this, which also had some consequences.
People with a bad mindset might have a mental breakdown when faced with such a situation.
Ye Qing has experienced a lot from the past to the present, and it's not something that would normally happen to her if she had a mental breakdown. Ye Qing thought that she was beyond help.
But before the accident, the scene of Aunt Zhang desperately pushing her away to protect her always appeared in Ye Qing's mind.
Ye Qing rarely dreams. Although she hasn't had as much hardship as before for a long time, her busy work schedule, while not exactly strenuous, makes her sleep exceptionally well at night.
However, after being hospitalized, especially after regaining consciousness, Ye Qing would dream whenever she fell asleep, and without exception, all of them were about Aunt Zhang.
I had a nightmare that Zhang Sao was in a very bad condition. When I woke up, the nurse told me that Zhang Sao had fallen again. Although the problem wasn't too serious, she still needed to have surgery.
For someone of Zhang's age, having surgery is no small matter.
After Ye Qing fell asleep, she had another dream, still about Aunt Zhang. However, this time it wasn't a nightmare; instead, it was quite heartwarming. Most of the dreams were about the warmth Aunt Zhang gave Ye Qing when she was still in Xiaoyao Village, and then about Aunt Zhang's care for the two children, including Ye Qing, when she came to work as a nanny at Ye Qing's house.
With more and more images in her dreams, Ye Qing's image of Aunt Zhang seemed to become clearer in her mind, as if she really was a kind mother.
Although the dream also included scenes of Aunt Zhang speaking inappropriately or even eavesdropping on others.
However, most of the scenes are heartwarming, and the inappropriate moments don't detract from the overall beauty.
Thinking about it this way, a sentence comes to mind: forgive and accept her.
But all of this happened in her dream, and Ye Qing couldn't react strongly. She seemed to silently accept the idea. However, just as she was about to accept that she had such thoughts in her dream, she seemed to blurt out "Mom"...
Suddenly, Ye Qing opened her eyes, recalling the dream in disbelief. The images in the dream were still clear, but the word "Mom" had become blurry.
But regardless of whether he said the name aloud or not, he was at least thinking about it.
After a moment of silence, Ye Qing turned to look at Xi Yike, who was sleeping peacefully beside her hospital bed, before glancing around the room and noticing that Xi Quan was not there.
Ye Qing wasn't too disappointed or anything because Xi Quan wasn't there. Being alone allowed her to sort out her emotions.
The IV drip for the day had already been finished, so Ye Qing didn't have any needles in her hand. She raised her arm and placed it on her forehead to hide all the emotions in her eyes.
A short while later, the door to the ward opened. Ye Qing lowered her arm from her forehead and looked towards the doorway. It was Xi Quan who had returned.
"Where did you go?" Ye Qing asked calmly. She didn't actually intend to find out Xi Quan's whereabouts. She was just feeling very conflicted, but no one could help her with these emotions. She also didn't want Xi Quan to find out anything, so she spoke first.
It was just a casual remark, but Xi Quan couldn't help but feel a little nervous listening to it.
Although Xi Quan didn't do anything, he was a little uneasy because he wasn't sure what Ye Qing was thinking.
Although he was very worried, Xi Quan didn't hide anything. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I went to the orthopedics department and asked Zhang's attending physician about her condition."
Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan in surprise, but quickly came to terms with it.
After all, although Xi Quan seemed to be on his side in everything, he actually covered for him silently behind the scenes, including in the matter of Zhang Sao.
In the past, Ye Qing might not have said anything upon hearing this, but now, thinking about the dream she had just had, Ye Qing fell silent again, and after a moment asked Xi Quan, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said the surgery itself was a minor operation and there shouldn't be any major problems, but Mrs. Zhang is not young after all, so we need to see how well she recovers after the surgery. The doctor said that many people who are a little older do not recover very well after orthopedic surgery because the rehabilitation of the limbs after orthopedic surgery is very important, but it will be very painful at first. This leads to many older people, even if the surgery is successful, giving up because the rehabilitation process is too painful, resulting in a very unsatisfactory recovery after the surgery."
After Xi Quan finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then told Ye Qing something else: "I already called my assistant and asked him to hurry up and find a nanny and someone to take care of the child. It should be ready by the time you are discharged from the hospital. By then, Aunt Zhang will also be able to help..."
Before Xi Quan could finish speaking, Ye Qing also shared her thoughts: "Forget about the nanny, I can manage on my own."
"You..." Xi Quan was quite surprised to hear Ye Qing's words, "You'll be in postpartum confinement, and someone will need to take care of you. Although it's almost Chinese New Year and you'll be on holiday, but..."
Ye Qing thought for a moment. Since Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin were at home during the holidays, Xi Quan was very busy taking care of them and cooking. After weighing the options, Ye Qing said, "Then let's find a nanny. She can stay for a month. After I finish my postpartum period, let her leave. When Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin were still alive, I took care of both of them by myself while also going to school, and I managed to get by."
When Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin were born, Xi Quan never asked Ye Qing about it, because he knew without asking that Ye Qing must have had a very difficult and arduous time.
Hearing Ye Qing bring up the past herself, Xi Quan felt extremely distressed, guilty, and remorseful. "I'm sorry... because you were working too hard on your own back then, and now that we can afford a caregiver, I thought I'd make sure you don't have to work as hard as before..."
