"It's that Ms. Lu." Auntie felt more and more guilty. "The young lady often mentioned her."
"I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this to happen."
That lady looked like a gentle person. When she met her before, she seemed to like the young lady very much. She never expected that such a thing would happen.
Gu Xiuyuan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
So, this matter is Lu Qingyi?
His eyebrows trembled, and finally his fingers slowly curled up. How could it be...her?!
…
Ji Shuyu slept in a daze for two days before she finally woke up.
When I woke up, the first thing I wanted to do was see my baby.
Gu Xiuyuan finally had to face the fact: this matter could no longer be concealed.
Outside the nursery, Ji Shuyu looked at the baby in the incubator through the glass, tears streaming down her face. She turned her head and looked at Gu Xiuyuan.
"Morning." His voice was a little hoarse. "It's my sister."
Twin babies are smaller than single babies, and she was born prematurely, so she was so tiny. Her little arms... seemed to be only as thick as an adult man's fingers. Other babies cried loudly, but she... seemed to have no strength to move.
Ji Shuyu instinctively raised her hand to touch it, but she only touched the cold glass...
Tears suddenly fell from my eyes.
"...Chen, Chenchen?"
She clutched Gu Xiuyuan's clothes tightly, trembling slightly and shaking into a ball.
She remembered that she didn't hear Chenchen crying, was it...
"Xiuyuan?" She choked and her body instantly went limp.
"No, it's not like that!" Gu Xiuyuan hugged her, "Xiaoyu, Chenchen is fine, just a little weak. He's in another ward."
He caressed her trembling body.
"Xiaoyu, the baby is fine. You have to take care of yourself, okay?"
He kissed her cold forehead, his voice trembling.
"Another ward?" Ji Shuyu was puzzled. She looked up at him and asked, "Why?"
Gu Xiuyuan's voice choked slightly, "My brother is a little weak, he will be here in two days." He stroked her hair gently, "Wife, I won't lie to you."
Ji Shuyu shook her head, "I want to see, I want to see him!"
"Xiao Yu..."
"You're lying to me, aren't you?" She was terrified. Was it the baby...
"No, it's really not." Gu Xiuyuan explained, "I, I'll take you to see it."
He didn't know what to say to prepare her mentally, nor did he know how to calm her down. It was just... if he didn't let her see it, she would start to overthink it.
But seeing...what should they do if the baby's subsequent condition is not good?
Outside the neonatal intensive care unit, they watched the little ones in the incubator from afar through the glass.
He is even smaller than his sister, and those testing instruments look scary to him.
He's serious, isn't he?
Ji Shuyu touched the small figure through the glass, trembling.
He is so small, and here... he is the only one there.
Gu Xiuyuan hugged her tightly, his heart twisted.
"Xiaoyu, we have invited experts from abroad. Our baby will be fine."
Ji Shuyu listened and turned away.
"The doctor will be here soon, very soon..." He assured her, which was also a comfort.
Baby, it will be fine...
…
The old lady couldn't hide the truth about the child after all. When she heard that the child was born prematurely and was in extremely dangerous condition, she fainted on the spot.
Ji Shuyu stayed by the bed, holding the old man's hand tightly, feeling pain and self-blame.
It was all because of her that she failed to protect the baby and caused her grandmother to fall ill.
"Xiao Yu." Li Ya'an came to the hospital to see her after hearing about the situation. "You should rest more now." She took off her coat and put it on Ji Shuyu.
"An An."
Li Ya'an hugged her gently.
"Chenchen will be fine." She took off the amulet from her neck and said, "This is something my grandmother got from the temple. I've worn it since I was a child and never got sick. Now I'm giving it to Chenchen. He will definitely be fine."
Ji Shuyu's eyes were very red.
"The old people say you can't cry during the confinement period!" She suppressed her heartache and comforted her, then wiped away her tears. "Xiaoyu, you have to take care of your body first, so that when the babies come home, you will have more energy to take care of them."
Ji Shuyu nodded, she was also trying to adjust her mood.
Now that the baby and grandma are like this, she has to be strong, otherwise all the pressure will be in vain.
"Xiaoyu, you are so kind, baby will be fine."
"An An, thank you." Ji Shuyu hugged her.
Outside the ward, Qin Chuan and Fu Shengkai didn't know how to comfort their friend.
They thought that since they had gotten married and had a baby, and that although there had been some bumps along the way, they were all in the past, they thought he would be the happiest of the brothers. But who would have thought...
"What are you going to do?" Fu Shengkai asked.
what to do?
Gu Xiuyuan turned to look at his friend. He knew that he was asking about Xiaoyu's affairs, but now... he was really stumped by the question.
If it were someone else, if it were in the past, he could give a straightforward answer, but that was Lu Qingyi...
Now, how should he tell Xiaoyu what he knew?
…
Ji Shuyu's postpartum recovery was not smooth, and she was worried about her baby all day long, unable to sleep or eat. She became even thinner after giving birth.
At night, Gu Xiuyuan once again brought Ji Shuyu, who had sneaked out of the intensive care unit, back home.
"Xiu Yuan, I just want to accompany him. The baby will be scared if he is alone!" She begged softly.
They did invite doctors from abroad, and even brought a team, but every time they told her: the baby is fine, the baby is in good condition, but no one told her when her baby could be taken out of the incubator, and when she could kiss them and hug them.
"Xiaoyu, you have to take care of yourself first, then you can take care of the baby." He hugged her lovingly, "The baby will definitely get better soon if he knows how much we love him."
"Will you really do that?" Ji Shuyu looked at him.
"With medical technology so advanced nowadays and the baby's organs developing well, he'll be fine."
"What about the future?" Ji Shuyu asked, "Can they be like normal babies?"
“…”
"I want them to be healthy." She leaned painfully in Gu Xiuyuan's arms, "Xiuyuan, it's all my fault."
"Xiaoyu, what are you talking about?" Gu Xiuyuan held her shoulders. "I don't allow you to say such things."
He just wanted her to be safe, nothing else mattered.
"But..." Before she could finish her words, Gu Xiuyuan's lips fell.
He kissed her gently and lovingly.
"No." He pressed his forehead against hers, "Xiaoyu, it's not your fault."
If anyone wants to blame someone, it should be him!
He failed to protect them...
"Xiao Yu."
He suddenly looked at her, looking serious and as if he had something to say...
