Chapter 649 Daya Faints
"Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao——" Jiang Xuan's hurried calls broke the tranquility of the night.
Xiao Yan suddenly sat up from the couch, and Lu Qiniang also woke up instantly. They looked at each other, hurriedly put on their clothes and went out.
Yun Ting and Er Ya also came out of their rooms upon hearing the news.
In Daya's room, Jiang Xuan's face was as pale as paper. He was half-kneeling on the ground, holding the unconscious Daya in his arms.
Her eyes were closed, her face looked unusually pale in the dim light, and one hand hung down limply.
"Zhao Zhao! Wake up! Don't scare me!" Jiang Xuan slapped Daya's cheek in panic, trying to wake her up.
"What's going on?!" Xiao Yan rushed forward in a few steps.
He squatted down and felt Daya's breath and pulse on the side of her neck. He felt a faint beat and breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still in his throat.
Jiang Xuan's voice was shaking. "She was writing something. I went out and asked someone to make her a bowl of chicken wontons. When I came back, I saw her lying on the ground..."
"Go get a doctor! Quick!" Lu Qiniang shouted.
Yun Ting reacted the fastest, turned around and ran downstairs.
"Sister, sister, wake up." Erya came over to help pinch Daya's philtrum, and she was so anxious that tears came out.
Lu Qiniang was also there to help pat Daya, trying to wake her up.
Si Ya rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out in a daze. When she saw this scene, she was so scared that she burst into tears.
She doesn't want her elder sister to die.
Big sister, don't die.
She stumbled over, trying to squeeze her small body between the adults, tightly grasping Daya's hand, crying breathlessly, "Big sister——"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan bent down and picked her up, but his eyes were fixed on Daya's pale face, and he was extremely anxious.
The doctor was almost "brought" in by Yun Ting.
When taking the pulse, one could hear the needle dropping in the room, and everyone held their breath in concentration.
After a long moment, the old doctor withdrew his hand and shook his head gravely, "This lady has been overworked, her heart and blood have been depleted, and she is physically weak and fainting. Fortunately, her life is not in danger for now. Alas, she must rest and rest, and must not worry so much anymore."
Everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
"But doctor, why hasn't my elder sister woken up yet?" Erya asked anxiously.
"She is too tired, just let her have a good rest." said the doctor.
Lu Qin's mother whispered distressedly, "This child... forced herself to be like this, what's the point!"
Jiang Xuan was still worried: "Doctor, do you need a prescription?"
The doctor was quite honest: "With the general's family situation, there's no need to deliberately take supplements. All you need to do is worry less and rest more."
The implication is only the word "tired".
Yun Ting had the doctor sent away and said, "Let's find another doctor to take a look."
It would be best to wait until we return to Beijing to see Doctor Hu, but at the moment, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
Jiang Xuan felt Daya's breath and felt that her breathing was now steady, so he said, "Send someone to find a doctor to wait outside. I will be watching over Zhao Zhao tonight. If there is anything wrong, have the doctor come in immediately."
He actually believed what the first doctor said.
Daya is just too tired and needs a good rest.
People coming and going will disturb her.
"That's it." Lu Qiniang said decisively, "Everyone, go back and rest."
She made up her mind that she would have a good talk with Daya when she woke up.
But Si Ya refused to leave and wanted to stay with her elder sister with tears in her eyes.
"If you stay here, you will disturb Big Sister. She won't want you to stay up late, and she won't be able to sleep well." Lu Qiniang advised softly, "Come on, go back to sleep with me, Big Sister will be fine tomorrow."
Erya said, "Dad, Mom, take Fourth Sister back to rest. I—"
She wanted to stay, but suddenly realized that it would not be appropriate if only she and her brother-in-law were here to take care of the child.
"I'll stay here with Zhuozhuo." Yun Ting seemed to have a telepathic connection with her. "If anything happens, we can help pass on the message."
Xiao Yan nodded.
Because Si Ya was sobbing quietly, Lu Qiniang went to her room to coax her to sleep.
"Mom, will my elder sister die?" Si Ya asked Lu Qi's mother crying, "I don't want my elder sister to die."
Separation from life and death is an unacceptable fear for children of this age.
"No, big sister is fine." Lu Qiniang patted her gently, "If you go to bed early, you can get up early to see big sister."
"Then I'll go to bed early." Si Ya closed her eyes tightly.
Because she was using too much force, her little face was almost wrinkled.
Lu Qinniang felt pity for her and was worried about Daya. For a moment, she felt like a huge rock was pressing on her heart.
Xiao Yan was fidgeting in the room, and from time to time he would walk quietly to the door to listen for any movement.
He didn't dare make any sound and walked very lightly in the corridor.
My heart is filled with anxiety, and it seems that I can only measure it over and over again with silent steps in this small space.
After a long and oppressive wait, the light of day finally emerged with difficulty.
Except for Daya and Si Ya, almost everyone else in the family stayed awake all night.
When the sunlight came through the window, Daya slowly woke up, feeling a splitting headache and fatigue all over her body.
She opened her eyes blankly and met Jiang Xuan's bloodshot yet ecstatic eyes beside the bed.
"Zhao Zhao, you're awake. How do you feel? I was scared to death..." Jiang Xuan's voice was hoarse and trembling with the feeling of surviving a disaster.
Daya smiled weakly and wanted to speak, but her throat was too dry to make a sound.
Soon, Lu Qiniang came in with warm water and porridge. When she saw her daughter wake up, her eyes instantly turned red and she had to hold back her tears.
After she fed Daya some water and gave her a simple meal, Daya recovered a little.
Lu Qiniang told her what happened last night.
"Your father has been walking around the corridor outside for most of the night, like a donkey pulling a millstone."
"Donkey" stood at the door, with dark circles under his eyes and lingering worry between his brows. His gaze fell on Daya's pale face, and he said nothing.
"Dad..." Daya looked at Xiao Yan, feeling guilty.
"Yun Ting and Er Ya have also been here—" Lu Qiniang pointed at the two people lying head to head on the small table of the Luohan bed. "They couldn't hold it in until dawn."
"Mother..." Daya said in a hoarse voice, with a guilty look in her eyes, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"What are you talking about?" Lu Qiniang scolded, "Alright, everyone go back to sleep. I'll stay with Daya. I slept with Si Ya last night."
Xiao Yan knew she was lying.
"Mom, you should go back and rest too." Daya said, "I'm fine now. I don't need anyone to take care of me."
She felt uneasy about having implicated her entire family.
"You don't need someone to take care of you, but you do need someone to watch over you, otherwise you'll have to get up and fight hard again."
Erya didn't know when she woke up and said softly.
"I don't know what you're thinking, big sister. Is the sky about to fall and the earth crumble, waiting for you to save it? You've put yourself through this, and what else can you get in return besides making our family worry? Just to get someone else's frivolous compliment?"
Erya became more and more excited as she spoke.
"Okay, stop talking." Yun Ting also woke up and patted her shoulder. "Let Zhao Zhao have a good rest. If there is anything, we can talk about it later."
