Chapter 999 Your lack of status does not affect my status
The days passed in a constant cycle of hope and disappointment.
Under Su Yi's careful treatment, Xiao Shiqiu's physical condition has indeed stabilized as he said, with all indicators tending to stabilize.
The life-supporting tubes were removed one by one, and the way he lay there no longer looked like a critically ill patient, but rather like a prince falling into deep sleep.
The ward no longer required a sterile environment, and I was finally free to sit by his bed, hold his slightly cold hand, and even hug and kiss him.
"Sister-in-law, talk to him more," Su Yi stood beside the bed, his eyes fixed on Xiao Shiqiu's calm face, "just as if... he can hear everything.
Talk about the things you have experienced together, talk about the children, and talk about what is happening outside.
Sound and touch are all stimulations for him, helping to awaken his consciousness."
He paused, as if weighing his words, "He could wake up at any time. Of course...it's also possible..."
He swallowed the rest of the words back, but I could understand what he meant - it might be a very long wait, or even... sleep forever.
Humans are really strange creatures.
I thought that as time went on, I would become more and more anxious, more and more desperate, and even collapse.
But the opposite is true.
Perhaps it was the strength given by the two little lives in my belly, perhaps it was the habit of chattering to him every day, or perhaps it was the hope Su Yi's words "he may wake up at any time" gave me, my mentality settled down unconsciously.
Anxiety was replaced by a calmness that was almost numb, and I began to get used to this kind of life.
My husband is Sleeping Beauty, and I am the princess who wakes him up with a bulging belly.
Speaking of her belly, it's only seven months old, but it's already as big as others' when they're about to give birth, and it feels heavy.
Sometimes I even have to hold it up with my hands, for fear that my belly won’t be strong enough and will burst.
The number on the scale climbed steadily, but this was the first time in my life that I wasn't anxious about gaining weight.
Every time I see the numbers getting bigger, I feel a surge of joy in my heart - the babies have grown a little bit bigger.
At this moment, I truly understood what the fruit of love is. The existence of children proves that we once loved each other deeply. This is all the hope that supports me to move forward.
These days are probably the most leisurely time in my life.
Sleep until you wake up naturally every day, don’t have to worry about what to wear, don’t have to spend time on makeup, and go out all day without any appearance anxiety.
Sister Li arranged three meals a day very carefully, even snacks were prepared. There were new dishes every day, and no two meals were the same for half a month.
Xiao Zhengning usually comes twice a week and sits silently by his son's bed. Sometimes he would ask me a few awkward questions about my health, but more often he would just sigh.
During this period, he has noticeably more white hair.
Xiao Shiru came at least three times a week without fail, but I never asked her any questions about the company.
However, her originally round cheeks have become oval, and she even had dark circles under her eyes a few times.
Xiao Shiru didn't mention any company matters to me. Seeing how tired she looked, I guess the first and third wives of the Xiao family must have been causing trouble.
Su Yi once mentioned that someone from the Xiao family's branch tried to come to the hospital to 'visit' me, but was turned away by people arranged by Xiao Zhengning.
The people arranged by Qiu Binjie had already withdrawn after the Lu family case was concluded, but the security forces left by Xiao Zhengning still guarded the top floor firmly.
Qiu Binjie also came several times. He brought me some surprising news. He said that Si Kouting committed suicide in prison using a sharpened toothbrush handle.
Even though she is dead, I still hate her.
The hospital's sky garden has almost become my private territory.
Ming Chenggang got a few snow-white rabbits from somewhere and raised them in the house. They were a furry bunch, quietly chewing on vegetable leaves, and became my best companion when I was daydreaming.
Xiaoyan, my mother and Huang Tianyi took turns to accompany me.
Huang Tianyi came back from a crazy trip in Spain and found out what I had been through over the past month. She was so angry that she pointed at my nose and scolded me for not being a good friend for hiding such a big thing from her.
"Do you still see me as your half-sister?"
But as soon as his eyes fell on my bulging belly, his anger instantly dissipated, and in the end he could only vent his anger by punching and kicking Tang Yi next to him.
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! You didn't even tell me that Mengmeng was in trouble! Do you still see me as your girlfriend?" Huang Tianyi yelled while beating her.
Tang Yi made a bitter face, not daring to hide or fight back, and defended himself: "Tianyi, I didn't know it at first, but then my uncle asked me to keep it secret! How could I dare to say it..."
"I don't care! It's all your fault!" Huang Tianyi hit his shoulder unreasonably.
When Huang Tianyi was tired and put her hands on her hips to catch her breath, she immediately switched roles and touched my belly carefully with a look of longing on her face: "Good boy, godmother is back!
In the future, godmother will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, play whatever is fun, and wear whatever is beautiful!"
She turned around and looked at Tang Yi proudly, "Did you hear that? From now on, these two kids will be just like my own! There's no way a natural birth would be quick and easy."
Tang Yi rubbed his arm, which was hurt by the beating, and said bitterly, "If I become the godfather... Brother Qiu might not agree, right?"
"Who cares if he agrees or not!" Huang Tianyi raised her chin, "I'm his godmother anyway! Your lack of status doesn't affect my status!"
Her self-assured demeanor diluted the dullness of the ward.
I perfectly combined prenatal education and talking with Xiao Shiqiu into one.
Day after day, I read all kinds of books by his bedside, from simple nursery rhymes to beautiful essays, to Tang and Song poems. I read to him non-stop while he was sleeping.
After reading for a long time, I actually feel that a person with knowledge of poetry and books is naturally elegant, and even the clouds outside the window seem to have a more poetic feel.
I leaned lightly on his shoulder and pouty, just like before, "Hubby, if you don't wake up, the next book on the list will be Zizhi Tongjian. I'm afraid I won't be able to understand it."
Later, I felt that reciting was too monotonous, so I bought an electronic keyboard online. Every day, I would sit by his bed and play some soothing music.
The days of our family of four passed slowly and peacefully in peace.
The hardship of carrying twins is far beyond imagination. My seven-month-old belly feels as heavy as a big sandbag. Back pain is the norm and it is difficult to turn over at night.
As the due date approaches, the desire for him to wake up becomes stronger and stronger.
I really want him to see our child being born with his own eyes.
