Chapter 732 Peace and Tranquility Are Me
That night, Shen Anning fell asleep in Qi Yue's arms.
The next morning around 8 a.m., the doctor and nurses were making their rounds.
Shen Anning was woken up by the noise and opened her eyes to find that Qi Yue was already up.
At this moment, he stood by the bed and talked with the attending physician.
"Pneumonia can cause recurring fevers that can last for two or three days, but as long as the fever can be brought down, it's not a big problem."
Qi Yue asked, "My wife might need to be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow to take care of some things. Is it okay for her to be discharged given her condition?"
"Is it something so important that you absolutely have to go?" The attending physician pushed up his glasses. "If it's not something very important, we don't recommend taking leave to leave the hospital. After all, the patient's body is still very weak at this time. Several viruses are quite active this season, and the hospital's emergency department is overcrowded every day. If there is a risk of cross-infection, it will be even more troublesome."
Upon hearing this, before Qi Yue could speak, Shen Anning preemptively said, "I must be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow; that matter is very important to me."
The attending physician and Qi Yue turned to look at Shen Anning at the same time.
Shen Anning sat on the hospital bed, her expression resolute.
"Qi Yue, I must go the day after tomorrow."
Her eyes were resolute, and Qi Yue knew that she had no choice but to go.
"Okay, I'll go with you then."
Upon hearing this, Shen Anning breathed a sigh of relief.
She was worried that Qi Yue would stop her from going after hearing what the attending physician said.
Fortunately, Qi Yue understands her.
The attending physician performed a routine examination on Shen Anning, asked some questions, and confirmed that there were no problems before taking the nurse to check on the next ward.
Only Shen Anning and Qi Yue remained in the ward.
Qi Yue asked her, "What would you like to eat? I'll have the chef at home prepare it and send it over."
"Plain porridge will do." Shen Anning paused, then asked, "How is Chenchen?"
“His recovery ability is stronger than yours. My father-in-law sent me a video this morning. Chenchen's fever has gone down. He was crying when he woke up and didn't see us, but when he saw his maternal grandparents and paternal grandfather, the joy instantly overshadowed his longing for his parents. You see…”
As Qi Yue spoke, he took out his phone and opened the video that Fu Siyan had sent him.
In the video, Chenchen is being held by Han Mingyu, who is also holding a limited-edition Bumblebee figurine.
Shen Anning, "..."
"Who bought this for him?" she asked, looking at Qi Yue.
"My dad."
"This one must cost tens of thousands, right?" Shen Anning said, somewhat amused and exasperated. "Your dad is really spoiling you too much."
Qi Yue smiled helplessly, "Aren't all old people like this? Let them be this way, it's just once in a while."
Shen Anning pursed her lips and sighed, "This cold came on so suddenly, Zhizhi should be alright, right?"
"Zhizhi is fine. Among you three, he has the best immune system."
"Yes, his constitution seems to be like yours. Chenchen is like me. My mom said that I was also quite sickly when I was a child, but I met a very good traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and my health gradually improved after treatment."
Qi Yue asked, "Grandpa Jin?"
"No, you didn't know that Grandpa Jin met my grandma later when he treated her. Grandpa Jin and my grandma started out as doctor and patient, and Grandpa Jin was my grandma's savior. They fell in love over time. My grandma often says that meeting Grandpa Jin was the luckiest thing that ever happened to her. Their story could be made into a movie. I think it's so magical and romantic!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue smiled and said, "It is indeed very romantic to hear you say that. Sometimes, the connection between people is just that magical."
Shen Anning looked at him, pursed her lips, and didn't continue the topic.
...
Shen Anning felt much more at ease knowing that her two children had their elders with them at home.
She actively cooperated with the treatment, but she did not forget about the court hearing the day after tomorrow.
At noon, Qi Yue fed Shen Anning her porridge and medicine, and after watching her fall asleep, he got up and left.
He left in a hurry, but Zhuang Yu's car was already waiting for him downstairs.
Shen Anning didn't sleep for long; when she woke up, the ward was empty.
Qi Yue left her a note.
I'm going back to the office for an online meeting. I'll be back right away. Call me when you wake up.
Shen Anning did not call Qi Yue.
The online meeting that made Qi Yue rush back to attend must have been very important.
Shen Anning couldn't bear to see Qi Yue rushing back and forth so anxiously for her sake.
She called Bai Xiaoxue.
Half an hour later, Bai Xiaoxue carried Shen Anning's computer and some materials needed for tomorrow's court hearing into the ward.
"Sister Anning." Bai Xiaoxue looked at Shen Anning's pale and haggard face with some heartache: "You're already like this, and you still want to work? President Qi will blame me if he finds out!"
"No, he'll understand." Shen Anning smiled faintly and said, "Put your things down and go back."
"Oh." Bai Xiaoxue put her notebook and documents on the table next to her, then turned to look at Shen Anning, not forgetting to remind her, "Then don't overwork yourself, just do what you need. If your cold gets worse because of work, I'll feel so guilty."
Shen Anning nodded helplessly, "Okay, I understand."
After Bai Xiaoxue left, Shen Anning turned on her computer and threw herself into her work.
This busy period lasted until evening.
The setting sun outside the window dyed half the sky red. The nurse pushed open the door and entered. Seeing that Shen Anning was still working, she frowned slightly and disapproved: "Why is Mrs. Qi still working? You told me half an hour ago that you were going to finish."
Shen Anning apologized, saved the file, and then turned off the computer.
Shen Anning put her notebook aside and looked at the nurse who was changing her dressing, saying, "Look, I'm really done."
The nurse smiled and looked at her. "Life is the foundation of everything. Your viral cold symptoms are quite severe this time. The most important thing for pneumonia is to get enough rest."
Shen Anning knew the nurse was concerned about her, and smiled as she said she understood.
The nurse looked around, somewhat curious: "Isn't Mr. Qi here? I haven't seen him all afternoon."
"His company has something going on."
"I see..." The nurse nodded. "This bottle of medicine is rather small. If Mr. Qi hasn't returned by the time it's finished, please press the nurse call button and I'll come in."
"good."
After the nurse left, Shen Anning picked up her phone and unlocked the screen.
It was already 5:30, and the sun was almost completely setting, but Qi Yue still hadn't arrived.
Are you that busy?
Shen Anning was hesitating whether to call Qi Yue when suddenly a call came in.
An unfamiliar number, Shen Anning pressed the answer button—
"Anning, that's me."
boom--
The phone slipped from my hand.
Shen Anning stared at the phone lying on the bed, still on the line, and froze, her face turning deathly pale.
