Chapter 46 Jiang Ruoxi is pregnant
The ward was so quiet that one could hear the subtle ticking sounds of the instruments. Jiang Ruoxi sat beside Lu Tingxiao's bed, holding his hands tightly with both of hers, not daring to let go for even a moment.
Her eyes remained fixed on Lu Tingxiao's bloodless face. She was filled with hope that he would wake up. She prayed silently in her heart over and over again, "Lu Tingxiao, please wake up soon. I miss you so much!"
Just as Jiang Ruoxi was immersed in worry and prayer, a soft and ethereal voice sounded quietly in her ears. The voice was like a breeze, but it was very clear: "Master, can you give the male master some spiritual spring water? Will this speed up the healing of the male master's wound?"
Jiang Ruoxi was startled and subconsciously looked around. The ward was empty except for Lu Tingxiao who was lying on the bed. Only then did she realize that this was the voice of the space guardian elf.
The spiritual spring water in this space has magical effects, and she has always kept this secret. But at this moment, facing the seriously injured and unconscious Lu Tingxiao, this spiritual spring water was undoubtedly a ray of light in the darkness.
Jiang Ruoxi took a deep breath to calm her excited mood, looked around, and saw that there was no one around. With a thought, a cup of spiritual spring water emitting spiritual energy appeared in her hand.
She carefully used a small spoon to drip the spiritual spring water into Lu Tingxiao's mouth bit by bit. The spiritual spring water flowed into his mouth bit by bit along his cracked lips. Jiang Ruoxi nervously watched Lu Tingxiao's every reaction, silently praying in her heart that it must be effective.
After a while, something magical happened. Lu Tingxiao's face, which was originally pale and almost transparent, gradually showed a hint of blood color, and even his lips, which had been dry due to excessive blood loss, began to become moist.
Jiang Ruoxi widened her eyes in surprise. Looking at the changes visible to the naked eye, her eyes became wet with excitement again.
"Tingxiao, you'll be better soon!" Jiang Ruoxi said softly, her voice full of confidence and joy.
She knew that with the help of the spiritual spring water, Lu Tingxiao's hope of surviving the dangerous period was much greater. She sat back on the bed, her eyes never leaving Lu Tingxiao, hoping that he would wake up soon so that they could continue this ordinary yet precious life.
After feeding Lu Tingxiao the spiritual spring water, Jiang Ruoxi quickly and carefully put the cup that had contained the spiritual spring water back into the space as if she was holding a rare treasure.
She glanced around vigilantly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one else noticed what was happening.
Jiang Ruoxi sat back down beside Lu Tingxiao's bed and gently stroked the strands of hair on his forehead. Her gentle movements seemed as if she was afraid of disturbing him from his deep sleep.
"Tingxiao, I hope you get better soon!" She murmured to herself, her voice choking with sobs. Her eyes were fixed on Lu Tingxiao's face, not missing any of his subtle changes.
As time passed, Jiang Ruoxi's eyelids began to feel heavy, but she still held on, not daring to close her eyes for a moment, for fear of missing the moment when Lu Tingxiao woke up.
Outside the window, the night was getting darker and darker. Only the instruments in the ward were still tirelessly making monotonous sounds, as if racing against time.
Jiang Ruoxi stayed by Lu Tingxiao's side, waiting alone in silence. Her thoughts drifted back to the past, remembering every ordinary and warm day they spent together, and those scenes kept playing in her mind like a movie.
Suddenly, Lu Tingxiao's fingers moved slightly, and Jiang Ruoxi came back to her senses instantly. She stared at his hand with wide eyes, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. "Tingxiao? Are you waking up?" She called out anxiously, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"Water, water..." Lu Tingxiao's voice was weak and hoarse, like the friction of sandpaper, and every syllable was filled with unbearable thirst.
His brows were furrowed and his cracked lips were slightly opening and closing, like a traveler who had been walking alone in the desert for many days and was on the verge of despair, eagerly looking for life-saving water.
Jiang Ruoxi had been guarding the bed with full concentration. Seeing this, she quickly put her ear close to his mouth and took a lot of effort to hear his whisper.
Jiang Ruoxi quickly looked around and confirmed that the ward was still empty. Then she deftly took out another small cup of spiritual spring water from the space.
She gently lifted up Lu Tingxiao's upper body, holding his back steadily with one hand, and holding the cup with the other hand, slowly bringing the spiritual spring water to his mouth. The spiritual spring water flowed down the corners of his mouth and into his throat bit by bit. Lu Tingxiao swallowed greedily, as if he was absorbing the power of life with every mouthful.
After feeding the man with the spiritual spring water, Jiang Ruoxi did not dare to delay for even a second and quickly put the cup back into the space. Her eyes never left Lu Tingxiao, full of concern and expectation.
After drinking a cup of spiritual spring water, Lu Tingxiao's expression gradually changed. The originally furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and a faint blush appeared on the originally bloodless cheeks. His breathing was no longer so rapid, but became steady and deep. Lu Tingxiao moved his fingers as if he wanted to grab something, and his mouth opened and closed slightly, but no sound came out.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruoxi immediately held his hand and whispered, "Tingxiao, I'm here, how do you feel?" Her voice was gentle and urgent, and her eyes were fixed on Lu Tingxiao's, trying to find out his feelings from his eyes.
After a while, Lu Tingxiao's eyelids trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were still a little confused, as if he had not fully woken up from his coma, but soon, his gaze focused on Jiang Ruoxi's face, and a hint of relief appeared in his eyes.
"Wife..." Lu Tingxiao uttered the two words with difficulty. His voice was still weak, but full of attachment to his lover.
"Tingxiao, wait a moment. I'll go call the doctor now!" Jiang Ruoxi's voice trembled slightly with excitement. She just stood up, but her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. A feeling of dizziness suddenly hit her, and her eyes went dark. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab something, but missed, and fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the doctor came over to check on Lu Tingxiao's condition. Seeing this sudden scene in the ward, the doctor's expression instantly became solemn, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Nurse, come and help!"
Two nurses rushed over upon hearing the noise. They carefully helped Jiang Ruoxi up and placed her on the bed next to Lu Tingxiao. Lu Tingxiao's already weak body was trembling slightly due to anxiety. He forced himself to sit up and said in an urgent and hoarse voice, "Doctor, please, check her first and see what's wrong with her!"
The doctor walked quickly to Jiang Ruoxi's bedside, first lifted her eyelids to check her pupils, and then quickly measured her blood pressure and heart rate. Lu Tingxiao stared at the doctor's every move. His hands unconsciously clenched the bed sheet tightly. Fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. Every second of waiting seemed extremely long to him.
"Doctor, how is she?" Lu Tingxiao couldn't help but ask again, his eyes full of worry and fear.
The doctor recorded the examination data while comforting her: "Don't worry, the preliminary diagnosis is that she is overworked and mentally stressed due to hypoglycemia and fainting. Is she pregnant?"
Hearing the doctor's words, Lu Tingxiao was struck by lightning: his wife was pregnant, and he was going to be a father! Although he was happy, he also felt distressed. His eyes were still fixed on Jiang Ruoxi's pale face, refusing to move away for a moment. He gently held Jiang Ruoxi's hands. Her hands were cold and powerless, which made him feel distressed.
"Wife, wake up! We are going to be parents!" Lu Tingxiao whispered softly, his voice full of self-blame and heartache. He recalled that Jiang Ruoxi had been staying by his side without sleep for the past two days, and his heart was filled with guilt towards her.
