Chapter 681 Very Incompetent
In the hospital, Xie Shu was sitting beside Ilia's bed, gently holding his daughter's hand.
Ilia had just woken up, her face still pale, and she weakly called out, "Mom."
The doctor said that Ilia has often fallen into a deep sleep in recent days. This is normal. Sleep is a beneficial way to recuperate, especially in the case of brain injury.
"Ilia, you're awake. How do you feel? Are you still in pain?" Xie Shu asked with concern.
"It hurts... I feel uncomfortable all over. It's very uncomfortable." Ilia closed her eyes and said unbearably.
She could feel that she was seriously injured this time and the doctor could not make the pain go away all at once and she would recover completely.
Xie Shu's eyes were filled with heartache as he gently stroked Ilia's hair. "It's all Mom's fault. You got hurt so badly."
When Ilia was a child, she would throw herself into her arms and cry in pain even when she got an injection.
How painful she must have felt when she was hit by the motorcycle.
"Mom, don't say that," Ilia comforted Xie Shu. Glancing at the plaster on Xie Shu's other arm, she asked in surprise, "Mom, are you hurt?"
"It's just a minor bone fracture, a minor injury. As for you, this is great news. Don't think too much about it. Make sure to take care of yourself, okay?"
"Um……"
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then Ilia fell asleep again.
When Yan Huai arrived, Ilia was fast asleep and Xie Shu was sitting on the sofa resting.
He walked to the bedside, looked at Ilia's pale face, turned around and asked Xie Shu: "Mom, how is Ilia?"
Xie Shu: "He just woke up and seems to be in good spirits."
"That's good," Yan Huai said, "I just asked the doctor, and he said that Ilia needs to rest for a few days and it's best not to see visitors. My second uncle knew that Ilia had a car accident and wanted to come and visit with Noah, but I refused."
"You did the right thing. Let's wait until Ilia's condition stabilizes."
Yan Huai looked at his mother's tired face and said softly, "Mom, you go back and rest first. I'll stay here. I'll let you know when Ilia wakes up."
"No need, my injury is not serious. It doesn't matter where I rest." Xie Shu said.
Here, I will be able to see Ilia as soon as she wakes up, which should make me feel more at ease.
Xie Shu remembered something and continued, "Before the Spring Festival, your father called Fu Zheng and told him that he would send Carol to stay for a few days after the Lantern Festival. I guess she will leave in the next two days."
"Carol is too young, and there are too many germs in the hospital. It's not suitable for her to stay here all the time. We can't take care of her right now. Should we let Carol wait a few days before coming back?"
She could be taken care of by servants, but that would defeat the purpose of bringing her here in the first place.
Yan Huai shook his head gently: "No need. By the time she arrives, Ilia should be much better than she is now. You can accompany Carol to rest at home, or go out for a walk. Don't stay in the hospital all the time. Dad should be able to spare some time to accompany Carol."
Xie Shu frowned and said disapprovingly, "Caesar, are you afraid that I'm too worried about Ilia and won't be willing to send her away?"
Hearing this, Yan Huai looked at Ilia, confirming that she was really asleep, and then said, "Mom, I'm just worried about you. You also said that there are too many germs in the hospital. You are not young anymore, your body has always been weak, and now you are injured. It's better for you to go home and rest. If some virus takes advantage of the opportunity to get in, it will be more trouble than good."
Xie Shu: “…”
Yan Huai sighed, raised his hand and pinched his brow, and said softly, "Mom, is it because you think that I, as a brother, am incompetent, that's why you think this way?"
"Caesar, I didn't mean that..." Xie Shu realized he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained, "You're very good to Ilia. Your father and I have seen it. It was Mom who misunderstood you."
Xie Shu felt extremely guilty.
Since Caesar came back, he has been very tolerant towards Ilia and has come forward to help Ilia solve many problems. Last time in Jiangcheng, it was because Ilia went too far that Caesar had to punish her, but he has also tried his best to protect Ilia. Otherwise, if things got out of hand and legal procedures were taken, Ilia would not just be detained.
Look at Ilia again. Not only did she not know she was wrong, she also pretended to be sick and framed Caesar. Caesar put aside the past grudges and helped her find a psychologist. However, Ilia colluded with others for her own selfish desires and intended to kick Caesar out of the family's power center.
Caesar, as a brother, has been very good to Ilia. How could she think so about him?
Yan Huai lowered his eyes, hiding the sad look in them, pulled the corners of his lips, and said, "Mom, if you don't want to send Ilia away, it's not too late to stop the plan now."
For a moment, Xie Shu really wanted to agree.
But she knew that she couldn't.
Ilia didn't know she was wrong. Before the car accident, she was very close to Noah and Alice. If she gave up sending her away because of her soft-heartedness this time, she would still target Caesar when Ilia recovered from her injuries, even at the expense of the family's interests.
This is unfair to Caesar.
After being detained for such a long time last time, Ilia not only did not know her mistakes, but also hated Caesar. Her character is difficult to correct, and we can only start from the external environment to prevent her from having the conditions and opportunities to harm others.
"...Mom is indeed reluctant to let Ilia go, but Mom knows that only by sending Ilia away can it be good for her. Don't worry, Mom will not interfere with this plan." Xie Shu's voice was a little uncomfortable, but his tone was firm.
She knew very well that although she was reluctant, for Ilia's future and the harmony of this family, sending Ilia away was the only option.
She couldn't let her family fall into deeper conflict because of a momentary emotion.
Yan Huai looked at his mother, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He gently held Xie Shu's hand and whispered, "Mom, I know this is difficult for you. Ilia is your daughter. It's normal for you to feel sorry for her and reluctant to let her go. But don't worry, I will arrange everything to ensure that Ilia receives the best care in her new environment. When she truly realizes her mistakes and learns to grow up, we can take her back."
Xie Shu nodded. "Caesar, Mom believes in you. Ilia... if she could be half as mature as you, I wouldn't have to worry so much. Sigh... it's all my fault. I spoiled her too much when she was little..."
Yan Huai gently patted the back of his mother's hand and comforted her, "Mom, don't blame yourself too much. Take care of yourself. You should go back and rest first. I'll be here, and the servants are here. I'll let you know when Ilia wakes up."
This time, Xie Shu didn't refuse. After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded. "Okay, I'll go back and rest for a while. Caesar, thank you for your hard work."
Yan Huai smiled slightly: "It's not hard, don't worry."
He helped Xie Shu up and walked out of the ward.
Thinking of something, Xie Shu asked, "By the way, Caesar, you and Miss Tang..."
