Lianyi started to bother Xiaoliu after twelve o'clock, either asking him to drink water or go to the toilet, but she was very sensible and always kept herself within Xiaoliu's sight. She did not take the initiative to talk to the older sister next to her. The woman in the next bed wanted to talk to her several times, but she asked Xiaoliu to help her go to the bathroom.
Although Xiaoliu was alert, he saw that Lianyi was just struggling to go to the toilet, rubbing her chest from time to time, and her face looked very ugly. He was very sure that the other party was not feeling well. Didn’t he see that she didn’t even pay much attention to the person who took the initiative to talk to her!
He rarely asked Lianyi two questions:
"Sister-in-law, if you really feel uncomfortable, I will go find a doctor."
Lian Yi just waved his hand and said:
"It's okay. I'll bear with it. The doctor you found is the one on night duty. He's not a specialist. It's better not to bother with him. Sorry for causing you trouble."
"You're so polite, you're my sister-in-law, and my second brother values this child very much. As long as you and the child are doing well, that's all that matters. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to stay with you."
Xiaoliu was also very smart and immediately said with a smile, which indirectly explained why he, as a younger brother, stayed to take care of his sister-in-law.
Lianyi lay down weakly, and just dozed off for a while before waking up again, asking Xiaoliu to accompany her to the bathroom.
"You don't have to help me, just stay with me. I'll call you if anything happens."
Lianyi said that although they were relatives on the surface, they had to avoid suspicion.
Xiaoliu also understood this, so he always followed Lianyi. When she came out of the bathroom, he would always find an excuse to go in and take a look.
It was like this until twelve o'clock in the evening, when Xiaoliu yawned continuously, and Lianyi finally closed her eyes and rested.
The pregnant woman in the bed next to her also breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Finally, I can stop tossing and turning and have a good sleep at night."
"Sister, please bear with me. My sister-in-law is a bit squeamish, and the pregnancy is not going well, so it's a bit troublesome."
"It's okay. I'm pregnant too. I had more trouble than her in the first few months. It'll be fine once the pregnancy is stable."
The eldest sister said a few words casually, but had no interest in chatting. She turned on her side and fell asleep after a while.
Because the woman's husband had to go back to Changning City the next day, he did not stay with her tonight and was sent home by the woman to rest.
Before the man left, he specifically instructed that he would deliver breakfast early in the morning and asked his mother to deliver lunch at noon. He also said a few words to Xiaoliu, asking him to pay attention to his wife when taking care of his sister-in-law. He didn't need any special care, but asked him to help call a doctor if anything happened. Xiaoliu naturally agreed.
After a while, the woman also started snoring. Half an hour later, Xiao Liuzi also started snoring. Lianyi slept a lot during the day and was not sleepy at this moment, but she still forced herself to quickly fall into a deep sleep.
At three o'clock in the morning, Xiaoliu suddenly opened his eyes, then got out of bed quietly, came to Lianyi and pushed her.
Lianyi was woken up by a push, but she didn't open her eyes. She mumbled something in a daze, then turned over and continued to pretend to sleep with her eyes closed.
When Xiaoliu heard Lianyi talking, he thought the other person had woken up, but when he saw the other person mutter a few words, turned over and fell asleep again, he left the ward.
Lianyi pricked up her ears when she heard the door closing, but she didn't open her eyes. She just smacked her lips and continued to pretend to be asleep.
After a while she felt someone pushing her again. This time she frowned and began to grind her teeth, talking in her sleep in a way she couldn't understand, as if she was cursing someone, and continued to pretend to be asleep.
After a long time, the sound of the door opening was heard again, this time much lighter. Lianyi remained unmoved and continued to lie on her side and grind her teeth. Half an hour later, she heard the sound of the door closing.
Lianyi did not open her eyes rashly, but just opened them a little, and then slowly opened her eyes. After adapting to the darkness, she looked around and made sure that Xiaoliu had left temporarily.
She waited for another five minutes, listening to the sounds around her with her ears perked up. After making sure that the other party had really left, she threw off the quilt, got out of bed, walked barefoot to the bed next door, and gently woke up the older sister.
When the eldest sister was shaken awake, she was frightened when she saw the face so close to her. Just as she was about to scream, someone covered her mouth.
Lianyi made a gesture to keep quiet and whispered in the other person's ear:
"Sister, don't make any noise, or you'll get into trouble too."
The eldest sister had always felt that there was something wrong with the woman in the next bed, and when she heard what she said, she immediately kept silent. This was a hospital, and if the woman really wanted to do something, she could also call the nurse and the night doctor.
"Sister, while the person guarding me is away, I will make it short."
Ripple whispered in the other's ear.
The eldest sister couldn't say anything because her mouth was covered, so she just nodded.
"I was sold to Qiaojiagou by human traffickers. The people in that village only help their relatives and not their relatives. My home is far away, and they were not afraid that I would run away, so they kept me in the village and let that man marry me.
I used the excuse of having a stomachache to leave the village, but they watched me very closely, and there were their people nearby, so I couldn't get away.
I'm pregnant now, so it's not convenient for me to run away, so I want to ask you to go to the city police station to report the case. I suspect they have connections around here, otherwise there would be no news at all."
Lian Yi said, and then he stuffed the note he had hidden into the woman's hand. After thinking for a moment, he added:
"Don't tell your husband, he's the eldest sister here, it's all up to you!"
After saying this, Lianyi let go of the other person's hand, returned to her own bed, covered herself with the quilt and continued to sleep.
The elder sister's heart was beating "boom boom boom" non-stop at this time, and she was already sweating coldly. She knew that her feeling had come true, but she didn't expect this to be the case.
At this moment, a low voice came from the darkness:
"Sister, if you continue to snore, that person will be back soon."
The woman was startled again, then adjusted her breathing and began to snore. She was just a little uneasy and groaned on the bed. However, because of her pregnancy, she fell asleep in the second half of the night.
Xiaoliu ran out, got the woman he liked, sent her to the base in the county town, and then returned to the hospital quietly. It only took him half an hour. He was also afraid that something might go wrong on the other side.
When he tiptoed into the ward, he found that the woman was still sleeping in the same position as before he left. The woman in the bed next to her was still snoring, and her snoring was even louder.
At dawn the next day, Qiao Laoer entered the ward carrying a lunch box. The husband of the lady in the next bed not only carried a thermal lunch box, but also a luggage bag, obviously preparing to return to Changning City.
The eldest sister ate the meal brought by her husband, and said, holding her big belly, that she wanted to see the other party off. However, when she left the ward and walked into the corridor, she began to hold her stomach and cry in pain, which scared her husband. He immediately called the doctor on the day shift and sent the patient to the clinic.
Half an hour later, the man ran back to the ward with a pale face and started to pack his things. (End of this chapter)
