The next day, Xi Xiaye went to the hospital early in the morning. She bumped into Su Nan when she arrived at the hospital. Her friend looked exhausted and apologetic.
“I’m sorry, Xiaye, I didn’t protect Aunt Shen. She became like this because of me. I was too reckless, I shouldn’t have triggered those two mad women! It’s all my fault, Xiaye. I don’t care if you’re going to beat me up or scold me. I won’t say anything about it.”
At the corner of the corridor, Su Nan’s eyes became teary. She had been worrying and blaming herself for the past few days and was struggling to face them again.
Xi Xiaye frowned slightly as she looked at Su Nan who was on the verge of crying. She put on a bitter smile and hugged her. “What are you talking about? How is this your fault? You wouldn’t have spoken up for her if you didn’t think of her like your mother. She mentioned it to me last night and was worried that you might be overthinking. Cheer up! There’s still a baby inside you.”
Su Nan sniffed and sobbed. “Yue Lingsi is really horrible! Not only did she destroy your parents’ relationship, but now she’s even saying otherwise. I’ve never seen anyone this shameless in my whole life.”
Xi Xiaye sighed, “You should already know what they’re capable of, don’t you?”
“Xiaye…” Su Nan called out to her softly.
Xi Xiaye smiled and gave Su Nan’s shoulder a pat as a comforting smile appeared on her face. “Don’t worry. Their happy days are numbered. Maybe it’s karma, so you don’t have to worry so much now. Alright, let’s go in. Mu Yuchen and my father are there. I think my mother just woke up too. She’ll be very happy if you visit her.”
Xi Xiaye then turned around and headed into Shen Wenna’s room. Su Nan remained stationary for a moment. Although she did not know what Xi Xiaye meant, she did not give it much thought and followed her.
In Shen Wenna’s room, the doctor had just finished another checkup on Shen Wenna. Mu Yuchen was talking to the doctor while Xi Mushan was helping the nurse to change Shen Wenna’s drip.
Although Shen Wenna was usually pretty distant, she was afraid of needles, so she frowned the moment she heard that the nurse was bringing the needles over. Xi Mushan held her and grabbed her hand as the nurse did her job.
The young little nurse smiled enviously. “Teacher Shen, you’re like a little girl. Needles aren’t painful. You don’t have to be afraid.”
“She has a slight phobia of blood,” replied Xi Mushan to the nurse for her. His eyes darkened as he realized something. After a while, he said, “Be careful. She’s afraid of the pain.”
The nurse chuckled a little. Despite her putting Shen Wenna on the drip, the Mayor was the one getting nervous.
“Alright, it’ll be done very soon.”
Xi Xiaye saw this exact scene when she came into the room. Xi Mushan was holding Shen Wenna tenderly in his arms. She smiled and traded glances with Su Nan behind her before they both chuckled.
Their giggles alerted the patient, and Shen Wenna quickly pushed Xi Mushan away as her face blushed. She kept her usual poker face, but it did not seem very natural.
Shen Wenna listened to the chuckle from the door as she asked, “Is that Xiaye?”
“It’s me, Mother! And Nan Nan is here to visit you as well!”
Xi Xiaye came to her bedside. The nurse was already done and was now adjusting the tubing.
“Aunt Shen, are you feeling better?”
Su Nan put a Thermos on the table and came nearer as Xi Mushan helped Shen Wenna to lie on her back before heading to Mu Yuchen on the sofa.
“I’m much better. Don’t worry, you silly girl. It’s not your fault. I’m the one who wasn’t careful, so don’t overthink.”
Shen Wenna put on a smile as a faint light flashed in her eyes as if her loss of sight did not affect her at all.
“It’s no big deal. I can take this as early retirement.”
“But you can’t see anymore! I… I really…” Su Nan sobbed, gripping Shen Wenna’s hand with both her hands.
“I can’t see, but I can still hear. Alright, I’m fine. Isn’t everything okay right now?” Shen Wenna patted Su Nan’s hands. “I’ll be discharged in a few days after my condition has stabilized. I’m not very comfortable here. Who knows if I’ll feel better at home and I can start seeing again?”
“Aunt Shen…”
Xi Xiaye stood aside quietly, staring at Shen Wenna’s calm face. She felt pressured when she saw her relaxed manner.
She turned away and closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. The bitter feeling coming up her throat was hard to suppress.
After a while, she poured a glass of water for Shen Wenna and handed it to Su Nan.
“Aunt Shen, have some water. Your lips seem a little dry.”
…
Xi Xiaye bent over and adjusted her blanket a little before heading toward Mu Yuchen.
The doctor flipped through the record file as he said, “If the patient insists, she can be discharged in a few days. Remember to bring her out for walks frequently. She might feel better in a different environment and it could possibly help with her sight. We’ll observe her for a few weeks and see if there are any changes in the blood clot inside her brain, then we’ll analyze it again.”
“We’ll list some things to be noted down. The hospital can send an experienced nurse to take care of her too. Mayor Xi, Chairman Mu, don’t worry. It might not be as bad as we thought. More importantly, we’ll have to take a look at her condition in the later stages.”
Xi Mushan nodded. “What’s the result of the checkup?”
“Aside from the blood clot, she had a slight concussion and might experience a headache from time to time. Try to refrain from doing any extreme physical activities, always maintain a positive mood, and take the medication and treatment on time. It’ll be fine after a while.”
