Chapter 107 Going Home
When Lu Zhenyu returned to the ward, the door was not closed, and Shen Jingsi was standing in front of the French windows, quietly looking downstairs.
She gestured for Wang Kai to stop at the door, got out of her wheelchair, and walked over quietly.
He was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice someone standing behind him.
It's that same little baby again. I guess it's getting dark and his mother wanted to take him home, but the little guy wouldn't have it and started rolling around on the grass, throwing a tantrum.
It rolled sideways, and the little bundle of flesh wearing SpongeBob overalls rolled down the slope several times.
When she sat up again, she was dazed. Seeing her mother laughing behind her while clutching her stomach, she tilted her little head back and started howling.
At the same time that tears streamed down my cheeks, I heard a chuckle behind me.
Shen Jingsi turned his head away, wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, turned back, and smiled at his wife who was grinning at the window, "When did you get back?"
The little one was taken away by his mother. Lu Zhenyu withdrew her lingering gaze and saw the wet red in her husband's tired eyes.
She reached out and cupped his skinny face, rubbing her fingertips against the corners of his eyes. "Missing the baby?"
Shen Jingsi should have been happy, because his Zhenzhen was back.
On the contrary, the calmer Lu Zhenyu appeared, the less happy he became.
Her eyelids reddened further as emotions that had been suppressed for many days surged up, and Shen Jingsi pulled her into his arms.
"sorry."
Lu Zhenyu wanted to hug him back, but recalling the bruises on his back she had seen that afternoon, she changed her outstretched hand to rub his head.
"I should be the one apologizing to you."
Shen Jingsi had no right to hear this apology. "Zhenzhen, don't worry, I will not let any of the murderers who hurt you and the child get away with it."
Lu Zhenyu knew that he would deal with those people sooner or later, because he had said that day that he needed some time.
This time, however, Lu Zhenyu did not want to place this burden solely on Shen Jingsi's shoulders.
She pressed her face against his pounding chest, nuzzling him gently, her closed eyes concealing the tears welling up in her eyes.
"husband."
"Um?"
Lu Zhenyu: "I want to go home."
Shen Jingsi looked down at his arms and said, "Once you've recovered, I'll have the medical team move to the manor."
Lu Zhenyu shook her head. "I just want to go back tonight."
Fearing he might disagree, I added, "Just stay one night, and come back tomorrow, okay?"
Shen Jingsi's eyes were full of affection, and his voice was gentle, "Why do you suddenly want to go home?"
"I..." Her eyeballs twitched twice under her eyelids, and she bit her trembling lips, her voice still trembling with sobs, "I miss her a little, I want to go home and see her."
After Shen Jingsi had the doctor conduct a physical assessment on Lu Zhenyu and confirmed that as long as she maintained emotional stability, there would be no problems, he was still worried and brought the entire medical team back to the manor.
Lu Zhenyu wouldn't let him carry her, so Shen Jingsi could only push her in her wheelchair to the flower room.
After just a few days of neglect, that little jasmine tree looked wilted.
Lu Zhenyu's eyes welled up with tears, and she took a few deep breaths to suppress her emotions.
"Honey, let's have someone remove it in a couple of days."
Shen Jingsi squatted down beside the wheelchair. "What's wrong?"
"What is meant to leave cannot be kept. Rather than watching it wither and die little by little, it is better to let go and let it go sooner."
A sudden tightness gripped his chest. Shen Jingsi glanced away slightly, his tongue touching the broken corner of his mouth.
Hesitation surged in his dark, deep eyes. Looking at the flustered and wilted sapling, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his throat.
She got up, went to the other side to get the IV bag, and, imitating Lu Zhenyu's previous actions, began to administer nutrient solution to the sapling.
While fiddling with it, he said, "Let's give it a little more time, just in case there's still hope."
Lu Zhenyu wanted to say that there was no hope left, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
There was a time when she thought there was still hope.
However, reality showed her that it was just a vain delusion.
The two of them didn't sleep in the master bedroom tonight; they slept in the nursery next door.
Two adults were lying on a small bed, and they had to curl up their legs and hug each other tightly to avoid falling off.
Lying face to face with their arms as pillows, the couple looked intently at each other.
Shen Jingsi stared intently, his eyes filled with deep affection and longing. "Zhenzhen, is there any wish you still want to fulfill?"
Lu Zhenyu thought of the birthday wish she had made to him a few months ago.
It turns out that all of this tragedy stemmed from greed.
If you try to get what God doesn't want from you, you deserve to pay a bloody price for it.
Lu Zhenyu asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
Shen Jingsi said calmly, "Because I wanted to make you happy, but I couldn't think of anything that would make you happy."
So that's how it is.
Lu Zhenyu smiled, moved forward slightly, and touched the sharp features of his face.
"I want to eat birthday cake."
Shen Jingsi immediately stood up. "I'll go buy it for you now."
Lu Zhenyu reached out and pulled her back. "No rush, let's go tomorrow. I want to eat something you made yourself. Remember, like the camellia cake you made for my birthday before?"
Shen Jingsi certainly remembered that back then, in order to surprise the girl, he would rush into the cake shop after school to practice his skills, which Si Wuwei used as a topic of ridicule for several years.
Thinking about tomorrow's plans, Shen Jingsi pulled her into his arms. "If my wife wants something, I'll make it. But I have an appointment for lunch tomorrow, so I'll cook for you after that. I might be a little late getting back to the hospital. Do you mind?"
Lu Zhenyu buried her face in his chest, "I don't mind, but if you mind the cake's appearance, don't come back if it doesn't look as good as before."
Her slightly spoiled and willful behavior made Shen Jingsi laugh out loud. It had been half a month since he last felt truly happy.
"Okay, I'll definitely make it look beautiful for my wife."
The two embraced and fell asleep, but neither of them could sleep.
After a long silence, Lu Zhenyu suddenly spoke up, "Husband, have you seen her?"
Shen Jingsi, "What?"
Lu Zhenyu read in a book that a six-month-old baby's eyes, mouth, and bones are already fully formed.
Did you see her when the doctor removed her?
With eyes deeper than the night, Shen Jingsi slowly looked out the French windows and said softly, "I've seen it. It's very small, about the size of my palm."
Lu Zhenyu pressed his hand tightly against her heart, as if that was how she had held her baby.
"Is she pretty? Does she look like you or me?"
Thinking of the little one's appearance, Shen Jingsi's eyes softened. "Her face shape is like yours, and her ears are like mine. She's very well-behaved and doesn't make a fuss. If she grows up smoothly, she will definitely be a well-behaved and beautiful little princess, just like you."
If they grow up smoothly.
She's very well-behaved, quiet and doesn't make a fuss.
Lu Zhenyu's heart, which could have been at peace tonight, was suddenly gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
She buried her face in her chest, which was pounding just as fast, biting her lip to keep from crying out, but her trembling body betrayed her.
The moon on the fourteenth was hazy and indistinct, its pale light filtering through the window where the curtains were not drawn.
In the hazy light, the lovely and beautifully decorated bedroom is filled with a dazzling array of high-end baby products.
Two figures huddled together on the small princess bed. The wife clutched her husband’s damp collar tightly, while the husband held his wife’s trembling body close.
Both of them were weeping for their unfortunate child, but neither of them let out a sound.
After a long while, a voice came from inside her arms, "Shen Jingsi, I miss her so much."
A deep, muffled voice came from the crook of her neck, "We'll meet again, just wait a little longer, okay, Zhenzhen?"
Wait a little longer, just like Feng Jinzhou's mother said.
Once the gloom passes and my health improves, shall we have another child?
That's not right, that's really not right.
How can you use the second one to replace the first one?
This is unfair; it's unfair to both children.
