“My mom, I want to see her. Where is my mom?” An Xiulan didn’t care for the doctor’s words as she spoke. “Bring my mom to . Or take to her.”
The doctors and nurse tried to console her but An Xiulan wasn’t the one to listen to them at this ti. She began yelling in her hoarse voice for her mother. At the end, when her blood pressure shot up and they failed to coax her, they let An Qinyan enter the room.
As her gaze fell on An Qinyan, An Xiulan raised her arms, nor caring for the IV attached to her and tried to sit on the bed but only to fail. Thankfully, her mom caught her in her arms and then she began bawling. It was as if she couldn’t control herself.
An Qinyan was naturally worried when she saw her baby girl who hadn’t woken up for two days crying so pitifully while hugging her. However, more than worry she was happy that An Xiulan was well enough to cry.
“Hush,” An Qinyan rubbed her back.
An Xiulan was literally crying like a baby at this mont and An Qinyan felt as if she was consoling a baby Xiulan once again..
“Don’t leave , mom,” An Xiulan breath hitched for a mont as she was crying for so long.
“Mom is not leaving you alone. I will stay by your side,” An Qinyan promised as she held her hand tightly.
When An Xiulan was reassured that her mom was with her and she wasn’t going to leave her, she couldn’t control the drowsiness that suddenly overwheld her and she fell asleep right here in her mother’s arms. For her, this was the most comfortable and safest place in the world.
An Qinyan looked at the doctors and nurses worriedly but they assured her that her daughter was out of danger. She was only asleep.
That night, An Xiulan had a high fever and she slept again for another thirty hours.
Outside the hospital room, An Qinyan, Grandpa You and Gu Yanxi were sitting waiting for An Xiulan to wake up. For the last three days, Lu Zhaolin had been running back and forth between office and hospital, even Song Yifei visited when her husband was in office.
When Lu Zhaolin heard from Song Yifei that An Xiulan had woken up, he left work at the office and arrived at the hospital but was disappointed when he saw his daughter asleep. However, he was glad that she had woken up from her semi-comatose state.
“You need to rest for a while,” Gu Yanxi told An Qinyan who had not left the hospital even for a mont. He caught the first flight back ho when he heard from grandpa You that An Xiulan was admitted to the hospital.
“I can’t. She asked not to leave her side,” An Qinyan said in a soft voice. “What if she wakes up and doesn’t find ? I don’t want her to cry. She is my baby. I can’t see her crying or in pain.”
Gu Yanxi felt his heart paining for An Xiulan but he knew that An Qinyan needed rest too. “How about this? You sleep for an hour while I look after her? If she wakes up, I will tell you. Trust once, okay?”
An Qinyan looked at him for a while but shook her head.
Gu Yanxi sighed and said, “Yanyan, if you fall ill, who will look after Xiulan? You know that she can’t see you in pain. What if she starts blaming herself for your sickness? Do you want her to bla herself?”
An Qinyan’s eyes widened. She knew that if she fell, her daughter would think sothing like that. In the end, she agreed with Gu Yanxi. However, she wasn’t ready to leave the hospital. Therefore, she lay down on the couch of the empty waiting room.
That night when An Qinyan was sleeping with her head on his lap, Gu Yanxi stayed awake to check upon An Xiulan from ti to ti.
The next morning, the doctor declared that An Xiulan had been running a fever since the last night.
It had been three days since An Xiulan was in the hospital. An Qinyan was so invested in the hospital that she forgot to inform the headteacher about An Xiulan’s reason for not coming to school.
In the school, Han Zixin placed his bag on his desk and stared at the empty seat beside her. He entered the class just a few seconds before the bell would ring in hopes to find her but she wasn’t there again.
Was she tornting her because he said he wasn’t going to miss you?
He was so angry at himself and he didn’t even know why.
He asked Qiao Wei and her friends about his deskmate but nobody entertained his questions as they were busy in their own world.
They just said that perhaps An Xiulan wanted to change schools after the scene she had created.
It wasn’t only Han Zixin, even Shen Yue was feeling bad about implicating An Xiulan in her matter. She was afraid that Lu Xuan would bully An Xiulan as Zhao Liling was Lu Xuan’s cousin. She had heard about Lu Xuan’s reputation from her stepmother. And all they could say was it wasn’t good.
Han Zixin didn’t have lunch with his buddies today because he was too mad to eat. He wanted answers and that too fast. He tried calling her phone and even left ssages on Wechat and Weibo but again no replies.
He had an idea who could give him the reply and he didn’t think twice before heading to Class Ten A. As he entered the class, the students of Class Ten A stopped writing notes and blinked their eyes at him at the sa ti.
They didn’t know why the school tyrant was in their class.
Zhou Liling in the last row trembled as her eyes briefly t his deep brown eyes and she lowered her head to look at the notebook placed on her desk.
