Ji Shuyu waited for his next words.
But Gu Xiuyuan took several breaths but didn't know how to start.
I can only hold her tightly, hold her tightly...
"I just want to say... the baby will be fine."
…
Ji Shuyu's recovery was not good. She had heavy bleeding and was restless after giving birth. Her physical condition was very poor, but she still insisted on accompanying her two babies separately every day.
She said that the baby would be afraid if he was alone, and he would definitely feel it if she was with him.
She looked a little older than before, which made her feel guilty because she had no milk and they could only eat formula...
Ji Shuyu looked at the two children inside through the glass.
Her phone rang. It was a number from City A. She paused for a moment, then picked up the phone slowly: "Hello?"
"Excuse me, is this Miss Ji?"
There was a strange man's voice on the other end of the phone.
"I am, who are you..."
"I am the lawyer appointed by Dean Chen. I am entrusted by her before her death to handle her estate."
Ji Shuyu was wondering why a lawyer contacted her when she heard him say: inheritance, Dean Chen?
The dean died?!
The director's health has actually always been poor because he has a sickly child and has been very busy, and his own health has not been good either.
But why did she have an inheritance left to her?
They are not that close...
"When did the dean die?"
"A week ago, I encountered a drunk driver and had a traffic accident." Lawyer Yu.
Not death from illness, but accident?
She didn't hear the lawyer's subsequent words clearly, but only listened to him speaking intermittently about the dean's will.
She always felt that something was wrong.
"Donate it to the orphanage!" She didn't want anything from others.
"President Chen said that he must hand the item over to you..."
He spoke seriously, and Ji Shuyu did not refuse again.
If it is a last wish, just deal with it that way first, and then repay it in other ways later.
Although they were not in a close relationship, he was the dean of their school after all and had taken care of her before. Ji Shuyu still felt a little heavy in her heart.
She recalled meeting a teacher at the orphanage a while ago, who said the director missed her very much. She also recalled the director saying she wanted to send her something...
She looked at the call logs of Dean on her phone, her eyes still a little wet.
The aunt came to the house to collect some things, and Ji Shuyu asked her to bring the things that the dean had sent.
The box was not big, and inside were some New Year's greeting cards and photos of the children at orphanage activities.
She flipped through the photos one by one, and some old and yellowed photos were particularly eye-catching.
This is a group photo of several children of that age.
She saw her skinny little self inside.
Xiuyuan also said that Zao Zao looked like her, but Zao Zao didn't look like her at all.
She is much prettier now.
Thinking of my daughter in the incubator, my eyes became moist again...
Tears dripped onto the photo, and then she flipped back to find a photo of her childhood. She immediately recognized it as her childhood self. No wonder her grandmother said she hadn't changed much since she was a child, but had simply grown up.
She took the photo and wanted to see herself as a child, but she saw a necklace hanging around her neck.
Is this the necklace that the dean mentioned?
She picked it up and examined it carefully. She felt that it looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where it was.
She really remembered that she had seen it, but... where?
…
In the hotel
Huo Yuxuan stood in front of the mirror. The wound on her wrist had healed, but the wound on her arm was slow to heal.
The doctor said that even with reconstructive surgery, the scars could not be completely removed.
I don't know if it's because of the inflammation of the wound, but she has been having a fever recently, always feeling sore all over, having no appetite, and feeling tired and weak.
But it’s better this way, it’s better than pretending to be sick.
Daddy is coming soon, and she can fool her mom by pretending to be sick and feeling uncomfortable, but it won't be convincing to her daddy, so she has to act more realistically.
Mommy, you must help me this time...
She looked up at Lu Qingyi sleeping on the bed, took out the few pills left from the compartment of her bag, unscrewed the capsule and dissolved it in water, then walked over with the cup of water.
Lu Qingyi was sleeping in a daze, and her head was covered in sweat due to restless sleep.
Huo Yuxuan walked over and whispered to her, then fed her the water. Lu Qingyi drank two sips and fell into a deep sleep again.
"Mommy, Xuanxuan is so cold..." Huo Yuxuan whispered softly in her ear, "Xuanxuan is so scared, can you please save Xuanxuan..."
While sleeping, Lu Qingyi heard a voice beside her ear, and the scenes she described began to appear in her dream again.
I dreamed that my daughter was locked in a dark room and cried for her mommy...
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she clutched her hands nervously, "Don't be afraid, mom will protect you, don't be afraid..."
Huo Yuxuan listened with the corners of her lips curled up.
"Mommy, it's Ji Shuyu. She's the one who bullied me." She guided him little by little, "You must protect me and avenge me!"
After saying that, she slowly stood up, then turned away indifferently while Lu Qingyi sobbed. On the bed, Lu Qingyi was completely immersed in a dream about her daughter being bullied...
…
Hospital
When Gu Xiuyuan arrived at the ward, Ji Shuyu was asleep. He heard from her aunt that she had stayed with the two children for a long time.
Looking at Ji Shuyu with tears in her eyes in her sleep, Gu Xiuyuan felt a pang of heartache. He bent down and kissed away her tears.
In fact, he knew that he shouldn't let her stay in the hospital. If this continued, she would collapse before the child recovered.
Therefore, he wondered whether he should send his child abroad for treatment.
But they were so young, how could she bear to do that?
Ji Shuyu didn't know what she dreamed about. Suddenly she groaned and woke up trembling.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"
Ji Shuyu woke up, the pain in her eyes had dissipated. As soon as she saw him, she stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly.
She didn't make a sound, but just kept clenching her arms as if she was in great pain.
Gu Xiuyuan hugged her gently, and turned to see the photo beside the bed. He reached out and took it, and was slightly startled when he saw the photo.
"Xiao Yu?" Dividend Plan looked at her with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Ji Shuyu buried her face in his arms and said, "Xiuyuan, the dean has passed away!"
Gu Xiuyuan didn't say anything, and didn't even look surprised.
Because he received a call from the dean.
At that time, he had already found clues about Xiaoyu's life experience, and she called and said... Huo Yuxuan was not the daughter of the Huo family.
He hadn't finished speaking, but it's not hard to guess what happened next.
When Xiaoyu knew about this, she was still not awake. Later, she realized that it was Lu Qingyi who caused her to take this step.
She liked Auntie so much, and she was obsessed with her mother, the person who had caused her to this point, so when the words came to her lips that night, she didn't dare to say them.
"Xiao Yu."
"Um?"
"If... someone you love very much hurts you, would you be very sad?"
Ji Shuyu's hands suddenly clenched.
"Shouldn't that be more sad?"
Who cares about strangers?
The greatest pain, the most painful thing, doesn't it come from that "dear" and "love"?
