Chapter 990 The Xiao Family’s Attention
The next morning, I was awakened by the bright sunlight outside the window.
The first thing I did after waking up was to rush to the glass window without caring about anything else.
To my disappointment, he was still lying there, his posture, expression, and various connected tubes were exactly the same as yesterday, without any change.
He didn't open his eyes as I expected, and gave me a familiar smile that was a bit teasing or gentle.
A huge sense of loss came over me and I couldn't help but want to cry.
Just then, a nurse came into the ward, recorded his condition, and carefully changed the IV bag for him.
I hurriedly picked up the intercom on the wall and pressed the button. Soon, I saw her notice the light on the intercom was flashing. After she picked up the intercom, her clear voice came from the receiver:
"Mrs. Xiao, are you awake?" He glanced in my direction but obviously didn't look at me.
Feeling a little strange, I asked, "Can you see me?"
She smiled. "I can't see your side. This is one-way glass."
I see.
"Did my husband wake up last night?" I asked with a glimmer of hope.
"No," she answered very straightforwardly, "but don't worry, Mr. Xiao's vital signs are very stable, his blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation are all good, and the values are even better than yesterday.
There were no abnormal fluctuations last night. Dr. Su had just finished his ward rounds this morning and confirmed that Mr. Xiao had safely passed the most dangerous acute phase.
Now it just takes time and careful care to allow your body to slowly heal, and you can rest assured."
Still a little worried, I asked, "But why hasn't he woken up yet?"
The nurse hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Perhaps because the injury was so severe, the body has a self-protection mechanism. Sleeping consumes the least energy and is most conducive to self-repair."
It sounded reasonable and I was convinced by her.
Anyway, although I didn't see Xiao Shiqiu wake up, the nurse's words made me feel much more at ease.
"Thank you, I understand." I whispered into the intercom and ended the call.
Not long after I finished washing up, the nutritionist arranged by Xiao Zhengning arrived.
She was a lady in her forties, with a capable and neat temperament, wearing a neat white coat. Her surname was Li.
"Mrs. Xiao, good morning." Nutritionist Sister Li said in a gentle and professional voice, "This is your breakfast today. It's just the right temperature now, so you can enjoy it."
She carried a large and exquisite thermal box and swiftly set up her business in the dining and bar area.
Even though I have eaten a lot of delicious food with Xiao Shiqiu, the richness of this breakfast still surprised me.
A bowl of crystal clear bird's nest, a small bowl of thick and soft quinoa millet porridge, a small portion of snow-white and tender cod fillet, two crystal shrimp dumplings, a plate of vegetable salad, two slices of crispy whole wheat bread, as well as milk and a fruit platter.
Sister Li said diligently, "Considering that you are in the early stages of pregnancy, your breakfast should be high in protein, easily digestible, supplemented with folic acid and DHA, and the taste should be as light as possible.
If you have any special cravings, please let me know and I will prepare it for you based on the nutritional ratio."
Maybe because the food was relatively light, I didn’t feel any obvious nausea today, just a slight discomfort, which I can just bear with.
Although I didn't have much of an appetite, I still insisted on finishing my meal because I thought of my children.
I had just put down my chopsticks when she took out a row of bottles and cans and placed them on the table. "These are nutrients that need special supplementation during early pregnancy. Please take them according to the instructions after meals."
Wow, I’ve never taken so many pills in my life. I instinctively wanted to refuse.
She might have seen it, “Mrs. Xiao, these are all necessary nutrients for fetal development.
This is German-made early pregnancy gold, which is easier to absorb than regular folic acid," she said, holding up a dark purple bottle.
Folic acid, I've heard of it before, it's something you must eat during pregnancy.
I nodded and accepted it well.
She held up a dark glass bottle. "This is top-quality Norwegian cod liver oil. It helps the fetus's intelligence and vision develop better. It's an essential component of the brain."
Well, who doesn't want a smart baby? This one has to be eaten too.
Seeing that I accepted it well, she began to introduce it to me in a torrent of words: "And this one is natural astaxanthin from Switzerland, known as liquid gold. That box is a special nutrition pack for pregnant women from Germany, which can relieve early pregnancy sickness. This bottle is a broad-spectrum probiotic that enhances immunity..."
"Okay, you don't have to tell me anymore. I can't remember anyway. Just write a note and stick it on the bottle. Tell me how many pills to take, several times a day."
I have figured it out. After listening to the effects, each one is irresistible.
Looking at this table of precisely calculated breakfast and those expensive nutritional supplements that ordinary people may not have even heard of, I once again truly felt how much the Xiao family values this child.
At noon, my cell phone rang. It was Huang Tianyi calling.
"Mengmeng! What are you doing? How about going to Spain with me for a while?"
Her voice was full of energy on the other end of the phone. Obviously, Tang Yi did not tell her that Xiao Shiqiu was in trouble.
I quickly composed myself and pretended to be relaxed, asking, "Have you set a date for you and your father to return home to recognize your ancestors?"
"It's settled!" Huang Tianyi immediately became excited. "We're leaving next Wednesday! First to Barcelona, then to Madrid!
Sunshine, beaches, delicious food, and handsome guys! Just thinking about it makes me happy! Hurry up and take a photo of your passport and send it to me, and I’ll help you buy a plane ticket!
"Tianyi, I can't go. My dad was in a car accident and I have to take care of him in the hospital..." I said with regret.
"Ah? Is uncle seriously injured? Why didn't I hear you tell me? That's such a pity." Huang Tianyi's tone was filled with disappointment.
"Next time," I began to change the subject, "it's not like you're going there just this once.
By the way, why don’t you ask Tang Yi to come along? Let him do the hard labor for you.”
"Oh! Don't mention it!" Huang Tianyi's voice collapsed instantly, "Your Lao Xiao is just a piece of shit!
I don’t know what super important task was assigned to my son Ayi, but he is now as busy as a top, working overtime until late at night every day!
Mengmeng, your boss Xiao is too unkind, isn't he? He won't even approve my vacation!
She complained dissatisfiedly, and I couldn't help but look at the Xiao Baopi she mentioned, who was lying unconscious in the ICU at this moment.
I shook my head helplessly. Xiao Shiqiu seemed like a stumbling block in their love life.
I felt a little guilty for three seconds. Someone had to do the work. If not Tang Yi, it had to be my elder sister-in-law and father-in-law.
In comparison, it would be better for the young man Tang Yi to do more.
