hiss--
She took a breath due to the pain in her shoulder, but her movements did not stop for a moment.
Ji Shuyu looked at her hands and suddenly clenched them.
"Tell me what you want to do." Huo Zhengting said distressedly, "I'll help you."
"No, I told you I can do it myself." Lu Qingyi said, her body suddenly shaking.
My weak body couldn't hold on any longer due to long-term lack of sleep.
Huo Zhengting looked at his wife and reached out to support her.
"Oh, don't bother me like this. If you're any later, you'll miss Xiaoyu's breakfast." She said, and suddenly felt sad: "Zhengting, do you think Xiaoyu will forgive us and go home with us?"
“…Yes.”
"Really?" As if she had seen hope, Lu Qingyi was nervous and expectant. Just then, she saw Ji Shuyu at the door.
"Xiao Yu." She was surprised and quickly pushed her husband away to stand firmly on her own.
Ji Shuyu looked at her weak and pale appearance and couldn't help biting her lips.
His eyes fell on her hands.
Lu Qingyi put her injured hand behind her back and walked forward happily. "Xiaoyu, why did you come down?"
Her eyes were full of joy, and she adjusted her hair awkwardly, fearing that she would look bad.
I should have changed my clothes earlier. I didn’t even comb my hair. That’s terrible.
If she had known Xiaoyu was coming, she should have gotten up earlier so that Xiaoyu could have breakfast when she arrived.
Ji Shuyu looked at her and his eyebrows twitched.
"Mrs. Huo, I came here to thank you in person for what happened yesterday." Her hands were clenched, but her words were cold. "As for the rest, please don't waste your time."
Lu Qingyi's smile froze. She tried hard to maintain it, but failed in the end.
She just wanted to do something for her daughter, and she also thought... that one day when she was less angry or in a better mood, she would eat it, even if it was just one bite.
Ji Shuyu looked at Huo Zhengting on the side.
They hadn't met often, but she would never forget the feeling of him being tall and majestic the first time she saw him. His hair, slightly damp and disheveled, was a completely different person from her memory.
There were several bags in the small kitchen. The vegetables inside were very fresh and still had moist soil. They must have been bought from a farmers' market far away.
Huo Zhengting was a little surprised when he saw his daughter appear at the door.
The situation yesterday was very thrilling, and he was also worried about whether she was injured or scared.
"Mr. Huo, since Mrs. Huo is in poor health, she should rest well instead of doing something useless."
"Xiao Yu." Huo Zhengting was somewhat helpless.
"Xiaoyu, I really don't mean anything else..." Lu Qingyi looked at her daughter's dissatisfaction and quickly explained, "I just wanted to make something for you. If you don't like it, I will..."
"Mrs. Huo, you should know that what's going on between us can't be solved with a few bowls of soup," she interrupted.
"I know, I know." Lu Qingyi felt sad and lowered her head. "I just want to make amends..."
"Compensation?" She sneered, "You're also a mother. You'd risk everything for your daughter, and your heart aches when she frowns. You should be able to imagine how I feel!"
Lu Qingyi's eyes turned red, "Xiaoyu, you are mine..."
"That's enough." She interrupted harshly, "Mrs. Huo, I have nothing to do with you. Please don't disturb my life anymore."
"Xiao Yu..." Lu Qingyi took two steps forward in a hurry.
"I'm about to be discharged and go home. From now on..." She glanced at the vegetables on the ground, "There's no need to bother you two."
"I came in a hurry today. I will express my gratitude to you formally another day." She nodded slightly and turned around.
"Xiao Yu!" Lu Qingyi chased after her.
Ji Shuyu left in a hurry.
She wanted to act calm, but when she heard the trembling voice, she couldn't help but want to hide and escape...
She hated her own incompetence and the hesitation in her heart.
When Ji Shuyu returned to the ward, Gu Xiuyuan was rushing out of the ward, obviously worried because he didn't see her when he woke up.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"
Seeing her red eyes, he took a few steps forward and hugged her.
Ji Shuyu felt a little sad in her heart, and she couldn't help herself when she saw Gu Xiuyuan.
"Did you go see Mrs. Huo?"
After watching Lu Qingyi leave yesterday, she remained silent.
Although she didn't say it, he could see that she was worried and sad.
Ji Shuyu nodded.
"Xiuyuan, I feel bad." Her eyes were a little wet.
She should blame her, even hate her!
"It's because of her that the baby is in the incubator, but..."
However, the way she desperately protected her yesterday, that "Don't be afraid", that "Mom will protect you", really made it impossible for her to be completely indifferent.
Seeing her busying around with injuries and barely able to stand, her heart ached...
"Xiaoyu, she actually didn't want to do that either." Gu Xiuyuan said softly, "She was so excited out of protection for her daughter, not because that person was Huo Yuxuan."
Ji Shuyu looked up from his arms.
"Because her child was stolen at birth, Mrs. Huo was devastated and has been ill all her life." He sighed softly, "So, she was very nervous about her daughter, who was finally found."
He said this not because he wanted to excuse Lu Qingyi, but because he wanted Xiaoyu to know that the 'aunt' she loved so much, the mother she missed so much, did not intend to hurt her.
She just loves her daughter too much.
She loves her daughter.
Ji Shuyu avoided listening and grabbed his clothes urgently.
Gu Xiuyuan hugged her distressedly, "Xiaoyu, we can actually take it slowly. Since we don't know what to do now, just give it time!"
Time really can heal everything.
…
Ji Shuyu was discharged from the hospital.
When she left the hospital, she saw Lu Qingyi looking at her quietly.
Perhaps because she saw her looking over, Lu Qingyi hid beside the Roman columns in the hall and knocked over the trash can in a panic.
She saw Lu Qingyi squatting down to help him up, looking embarrassed and awkward.
Her heart ached, and she forced herself to turn her face away and get into the car.
She didn't look out the window, but her hands were clenched tightly...
Xizi Bay.
Standing at the door, Ji Shuyu suddenly felt that everything was like a dream.
When she went out that day, she told the baby that she was going to bring food to her father, but... when she came back, she was alone.
Touching her flat belly, Ji Shuyu's eyes became moist.
"Xiuyuan, don't you blame me?" she asked, "If I hadn't taken the initiative to go find her, things wouldn't have happened..."
Before she could finish her words, Gu Xiuyuan bent down and kissed her.
"That was an accident." Gu Xiuyuan said, "Wife, in my heart, no one and nothing is more important than you."
"But……"
She spoke, and the kiss fell again.
He seems a little anxious...
