Chapter 23: Your Father Woke Up
Zhang Li Xue waited for two days for her paternal grandparents to arrive.
On the next day, she finally got her grandparents to bring her along to the hospital to find her mother.
The mont Zhang Li Xue saw her mother, she quickly let go of her grandmother’s hand and ran over to her mother. “Mommy!”
The atmosphere around the hospital was gloomy but Zhang Li Xue did not seem to notice anything. For that little girl, it has been a few days since the last ti she saw her mother. Zhang Li Xue was missing her mother terribly.
She reached to her mother’s side and wrapped her tiny arms around her mother’s neck. Her body gradually relaxed as she inhaled her mother’s scent.
Her paternal grandmother, Liu Hui Lan almost had a heart attack when she watched the girl rush forward. “Li Xue, be careful.”
However, Zhang Li Xue seed as if she could not hear her grandmother’s words. The little girl continued to hug her mother as if she did not want to let go.
.....
“Mommy, I missed you so much. I’ll stay here with you alright?” Zhang Li Xue spoke. “I’ll be obedient and listen to you. Don’t leave , alright?”
Li Qin Yao’s expression grew softer. She hugged her daughter and rained her kisses on the girl’s face. “Alright. You can accompany Mommy and Daddy here.”
The little girl’s face lit up. As long as she can be with her parents, Zhang Li Xue would be satisfied.
“But Li Xue,” Her mother continued. “You can stay for a while. You have to go back with your grandparents when the sky turned dark, alright?”
Zhang Li Xue was not happy. “I cannot stay?”
“Mommy and Daddy will need to sleep,” Her grandfather, Zhang Xi, spoke. “When they have enough rest, the doctor will let them leave the hospital quickly.”
Zhang Li Xue stared at her grandfather as she pondered over his words. ” I want Mommy and Daddy t get well soon.” She looked at her mother again and spoke, “I will follow my grandparents later. Mommy, you have to get well soon.”
After hugging her mother for a long ti, Zhang Li Xue finally noticed her father who was lying on the hospital bed. She stared at him for a long ti and whispered, “Mommy, why is Daddy still asleep?”
Li Qin Yao followed her daughter’s line of gaze. “Daddy is not feeling well. He needed to sleep so that he will recover faster.”
“Oh.” Zhang Li Xue thought that her mother’s words made sense. She continued to watch her father and saw the machine next to him.
Seeing that there were a few wires and tubes attached to him made her frown. She did not know why, but she did not like to see her father like this.
“Mommy, when will he wake up?”
Her mother stared at her for a long ti without saying a word. Then, her mother pulled her into her embrace and whispered, “Let’s continue to talk to your Daddy. Maybe when he heard our voices, he will wake up sooner.”
Zhang Li Xue reached to grip the hem of her father’s blanket and spoke, “Daddy, you have to wake up soon and accompany . You said you were going to teach to play basketball.” She looked at her mother again with an inquiring gaze. “Mommy, can I give Daddy a kiss?”
“Li Xue, co. I’ll lift you.” At the side, her uncle, Wei Jun Hao waved his hand at her.
Zhang Li Xue stretched her arms and went into her uncle’s arms. As her uncle brought her closer to her father, Zhang Li Xue took this chance to take a look at her father.
Her lips pursed into a thin line once she noticed that her father’s arms were tightly wrapped in bandages.
She inched closer and peck on her father’s cheek. “Daddy, you have to wake up soon. Daddy, I love you.”
...
Days passed but her parents still haven’t returned ho.
Zhang Li Xue would visit the hospital in the morning with her grandparents and spend her ti accompanying her parents.
Because sothing had happened to her father, Zhang Li Xue did not go to the kindergarten. Her mother had called the kindergarten and explained their situation.
Although she was regretting that she would not be able to spend her ti with her friends, Zhang Li Xue was mostly worried about her father who continued to sleep.
While her father was lying on the bed, Zhang Li Xue would continue to chat with her father about a lot of things, for example, the cartoon shows that she watched.
Then, she opened the book in her hand and tried to read her father so stories, but there were a few words that she could not recognize. In the end, it was her mother who had to help her read.
When the sky turned darker, she would then return ho with her grandparents.
Each ti that her grandparents brought her ho, Zhang Li Xue would wave goodbye to her parents and follow her grandparents back ho obediently. The little girl did not throw any tantrums or cause trouble for them.
She continued to pray that her father would recover soon and returned ho with her mother.
...
That morning, Zhang Li Xue walked down the stairs and headed to the dining room for breakfast. As she approached closer, Zhang Li Xue could see that everyone had a happy look on their face.
Her youngest aunt, Zhang Yu Ying was the first to notice her presence.
Zhang Yu Ying walked over and carried the little girl in her arms. “Li Xue, your father woke up.”
The little girl stared at her auntie in disbelief. Her lips gradually blood into a smile. “Really? Aunt, you are not lying to , right?”
“Un.” Zhang Yu Ying nodded. “Aunt won’t lie to you.”
“Then, can we go and visit my Daddy? I missed him and my Mommy.”
“Of course, you can.” Zhang Yu Ying nodded. “After you eat your breakfast, I’ll bring you to the hospital to see your parents, alright?”
“Good.” Zhang Li Xue laughed happily. “Auntie... quickly put down. I’m going to eat my breakfast quickly.”
