Chapter 324 Bad News
Looking at her prominently protruding belly, Su Xiangwan couldn't help but recall the time when she was pregnant with Niannian and about to give birth.
Gu Yanxiao would always thoughtfully massage her legs, and when Niannian kicked mischievously in her belly, she would gently "threaten" Niannian, telling him not to kick his mother.
I don't know if it's just psychological.
It seems that with Gu Yanxiao by her side, she didn't feel much of the discomfort in the later stages of pregnancy.
Every day I am immersed in the joy of becoming a mother.
But now, she lies in bed, and that warm embrace is no longer beside her.
Even if my legs ache and cramp from the excessive burden, there's no longer that caring person to massage them.
The burden of carrying twins is indeed much more difficult than when carrying only one child.
Fortunately, the spiritual spring in the space constantly provided her with energy and vitality, which prevented her from suffering too much.
Thinking of this, Su Xiangwan sighed softly.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Gu's mother asked in a very soft voice from outside, "Xiang Wan, are you awake?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangwan quickly replied, "Mom, I'm awake!"
Upon hearing her voice, Gu's mother gently pushed open the door and carried in a basin of hot water before she could get up.
"Mom, what's wrong...?"
Su Xiangwan was stunned for a moment, looking at Gu's mother with confusion.
With a smile, Gu's mother placed the basin of hot water in front of the bed and said, "Mom noticed your legs are a little uncomfortable today. Here, soaking in hot water will make you feel better."
As she spoke, Gu's mother helped Su Xiangwan up, then pulled her feet and put her into the basin of water.
"Mom...I...I can do it myself."
Su Xiangwan was taken aback by Gu's mother's actions and quickly declined.
"Silly child..." Mother Gu said firmly, "Xiang Wan, although you are my daughter-in-law, in my heart, you are no different from Yan Fei. You are so pregnant now, it's inconvenient for you to do anything, you can't even reach your own feet. Yan Xiao isn't by your side, so what's there to be embarrassed about if I wash your feet and massage them for you?"
As she spoke, Gu's mother pulled Su Xiangwan's feet and placed them into the warm water, gently washing them.
"mom……"
Su Xiangwan was touched, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse again.
After washing Su Xiangwan's feet, Gu's mother did not immediately make her lift her feet up. Instead, she gently massaged Su Xiangwan's calves with the hot water to relieve her tense muscles and nerves.
Seeing that Su Xiangwan seemed a little flustered, he chuckled and tried to divert her attention: "How was the child's behavior today? Did he cause you any trouble?"
Hearing Gu's mother's question, Su Xiangwan smiled and stroked her belly, saying, "This baby is really different from Niannian's. She's so much more mischievous, always making a fuss in my belly. She even kicked me a few times just now!"
As she spoke, another small bump appeared on Su Xiangwan's stomach.
She let out a soft sigh, looked at the little bulge, and smiled at Gu's mother, "Mom, look, they're upset because they heard me say they were naughty!"
"Yes! This little guy is protesting that the two of us are talking about them!" Gu's mother said with a smile.
Although she really wanted to apply the product to her daughter-in-law's calves, the most important thing right now was to massage them and relieve her discomfort.
As for grandchildren, we can cherish them properly after they are born.
Seeing the children's performance, Su Xiangwan's tense and awkward mood gradually disappeared.
After massaging Su Xiangwan's feet for more than ten minutes, Gu's mother noticed that the water temperature wasn't so hot anymore. She then dried Su Xiangwan's feet and told her to continue sleeping for a while before picking up the water and leaving the room.
Just then, the telephone in the living room suddenly rang.
For some reason, the familiar ringtone sounded particularly jarring at this moment.
Mr. Gu hurriedly walked to the phone, answered it, and said "Hello" once.
Then, Huo Chang'an's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Jianguo, I have bad news. Yan Xiao... he's injured, seriously injured... You need to come to the military hospital quickly to see him... his condition... isn't good..."
"What?"
After hearing Huo Chang'an's words, Gu's father swayed, his hand lost its balance, and the microphone fell onto the coffee table with a loud "bang".
"Jianguo..." Upon seeing this, Gu's mother dropped the basin of water in her hand with a "bang" to the ground. Ignoring her trouser legs that had been splashed with water, she quickly went forward to help Gu's father to sit down on the sofa and asked, "What happened? What's wrong?"
Despite his grief, Gu's father spoke with trembling lips, "Yan Xiao... something happened to Yan Xiao!"
"Bang!"
He had barely finished speaking when the sound of a door slamming against the wall came from the side.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu felt a chill run down their spines. They turned around and saw Su Xiangwan leaning against the door, her face pale.
"Xiang Wan!" Gu's mother was startled and quickly went to support Su Xiang Wan, fearing that something might happen to her under such circumstances.
"Dad, Mom, what happened to Yan Xiao?"
Su Xiangwan slowly straightened up, staring intently at Gu's father and mother, and asked.
Looking at Su Xiangwan's pale face, Gu's father opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Dad, just tell me the truth. At a time like this... please don't lie to me..."
Although Su Xiangwan tried her best to calm herself down, the panic in her heart made it difficult for her to even speak properly.
"Just now, Chief Huo called and said that Yan Xiao had an accident... I don't know what happened, I need to go to the hospital to find out..."
Gu's father also knew that at this time, deceiving Su Xiangwan would not only fail to reassure her, but would also make her overthink things.
"Then let's go to the hospital now."
As Su Xiangwan spoke, she turned to leave.
Fortunately, at this moment, when Uncle Wang heard everything, he had already called Wang Zhengyu and arranged for a car.
The group got into the already started car and rushed to the military hospital without any delay.
As soon as the car stopped in front of the hospital, military personnel were already there to meet them.
"Uncle, Aunt, Sister-in-law, Commander Gu has been taken to the emergency room and is still being treated."
The group followed the staff to the outside of the emergency room and saw Wu Yong'an, covered in blood, standing guard outside.
Beside them was Huo Chang'an, who had just spoken to them on the phone. His face was also very pale, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Upon seeing their arrival, Wu Yong'an silently approached them and knelt down with a thud...
