Speaking of which, Xie Jingchen softly picked up his little princess Xiao Shi, gently rocked her twice, and Little Baobao stopped whimpering with a sorrowful whine, her sobs turned into a faint sniffling.
As a little gentleman, Xiaojiu kept crying a bit longer when he didn’t hear his sister’s cries. Seeing that Xiao Shi had stopped, he was montarily perplexed, and as her soft hiccups subsided, Xiaojiu also stopped crying.
Xiaojiu, with his big watery eyes, looked around and saw ’Dad’ holding his sister, who was not crying or fussing, and he turned his head to look for ’Mom’, only to find that she was nowhere to be seen.
An infant’s line of sight is very short, and even though Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi, with their special mother, have a physique three or four tis stronger than an average baby, their vision does not extend beyond two ters.
Besides, he’s lying on the bed now, which further limits his visibility, so it’s perfectly normal that he can’t see Mom.
Xiaojiu is Da Bao’er. He’s advanced for his age, smarter and more sensible than Xiao Shi. Although he can’t yet distinguish between genders, he has already learned to recognize who ’Dad’ and ’Mom’ are by their voices.
Seeing that Dad was only holding his sister and Mom was nowhere to be seen, Xiaojiu did not cry either.
This was because his perception told him that whether it was Zhang Shanni or Xie Jingchen, or even the presence of Xiao Shi, they were all within his sensory range, providing him with a sense of security.
Even though his stomach was getting hungrier, he had already ’understood’ that ever since he was born, his sister had to be fed first before it was his turn.
Having learned to ’observe’, Xiaojiu now understood that no matter how fiercely he cried, things would proceed as they usually did, so he stifled his sobs and quietly waited to be nursed.
While the couple was nurturing their children harmoniously, Qi Chunlan in the hospital room finally woke up!
Qi Chunlan truly ca to!
This news was a sigh of relief for everyone in the Yan Family.
It was Yan Jinsi and Yan Jinhao, who were keeping vigil by the bedside, that Yan Jinsi, with his sharp eyes, made the discovery.
Because of guilt, neither of the brothers could sleep.
When Yan Jinsi saw Mom’s fingers move, he thought he was hallucinating and abruptly looked up at her face—waiting for about half a minute, he truly saw Mom’s tightly closed eyelids, and witnessed the eyeballs beneath them turning slightly.
Imdiately, Yan Jinsi nervously gripped his elder brother’s arm tight.
Yan Jinhao was already lost in thought, regretting bringing his mom and brother back to this county town...
As the eldest son, he always felt it was his duty to take good care of his younger siblings; he was a person with a very strong sense of responsibility, even though his abilities weren’t that great.
But, he had been educated by Yan Xiqing from a young age that one must be responsible in life.
When his younger brother gripped his arm, he reacted instantly, glancing at his brother to see if he was alright, then following his gaze to look straight at their still sleeping mother.
At the mont Yan Jinhao’s gaze landed on Qi Chunlan, it coincided with the instant Qi Chunlan slowly opened her eyes.
"I, I will go call the doctor!" Yan Jinhao, not wanting to scare Mom, whispered softly, and imdiately stood up to quickly leave the room.
In just over ten seconds, he dragged the doctor in.
A nurse on duty followed closely behind.
Qi Chunlan really did wake up, but, she also suffered mory loss.
The mory loss was complete; she couldn’t recognize anyone. Intelligent testing would be needed to produce an accurate diagnosis.
This outco left all the Yan Family mbers in silence.
Zhang Shanni and Xie Jingchen arrived last.
When Yan Jinchang ca down to inform Zhang Shanni, she had just finished breastfeeding Xiaojiu and felt much more comfortable.
Upon hearing about Qi Chunlan’s fate, Zhang Shanni did not feel indebted to her. Although her conscience was sowhat pricked, that only made her more tolerant towards Qi Chunlan.
Zhang Shanni was not magnanimous enough to completely let go of Qi Chunlan’s malicious intentions towards her babies.
If it had been purely directed at her, Zhang Shanni might have laughed it off and put an end to their enmity, but when it involved her own precious children, that was unforgivable to anyone.
Zhang Shanni knew.
It was entirely to save her that Qi Chunlan had faced such a disaster. Her babies were now safely born and unhard, in part due to Qi Chunlan’s efforts, so Zhang Shanni acknowledged the debt of gratitude she owed her.
Therefore, as soon as she heard about her illness, Zhang Shanni imdiately found the dicine to treat Qi Chunlan’s condition.
In the end, it was still due to the dication she provided that Qi Chunlan’s life was saved.
But the price Qi Chunlan paid was a bit too high.
Without her tily treatnt, given Qi Chunlan’s current befuddled and unrecognizing state, her normal intellect would definitely not reach that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old.
Without her dication, considering the virulence of the disease, Qi Chunlan would have only struggled for another day or two at most before likely succumbing to rabies and dying from convulsions and suffocation.
Although Qi Chunlan now appears amnesiac and sowhat foolish, truly pitiful to see.
But such an outco, for her, must be considered the best.
All the burdens and vile thoughts in Qi Chunlan’s heart must have been thoroughly eradicated.
Zhang Shanni looked at her ’simple’ and ’birth mother’ gazing at her and sighed in her heart – what a twisted fate!
"Sister~" Yan Jinsi saw his sister and the pain in his heart suddenly revealed itself, tears flowing out, as he leaned weakly against his elder brother.
"..." Zhang Shanni t his gaze, montarily at a loss for words – should she say to her brother: ’condolences’?
But clearly, Qi Chunlan was not dead yet.
"Don’t cry, she’s not dead, what are you mourning for! If she’s sick, we’ll treat her properly; as long as a person is alive, there’s hope," Zhang Shanni eventually had no choice but to sternly instruct him.
Compared to Lin Zhaodi’s mad death, Qi Chunlan’s condition could only be said to be not too bad.
She hadn’t gone mad nor suffered much tornt; she had rely slept, then wiped out all those bad mories.
Now, acting like a naïve, worldly ignorant baby, one could say that this outco had truly redeed Qi Chunlan.
Freed of the vile feelings in her heart, Zhang Shanni, considering Qi Chunlan’s effort in saving her and her babies, did not want to be too harsh on her.
Xie Jingchen held his little wife and placed her on a wooden chair next to Yan Xiqing, nodding respectfully to Mr. Yan, "Mr. Yan. District Chief Yan Rong."
"Mmm." Yan Xiqing was in a bad mood and had no desire to correct this brat’s bad habits. He just glanced at his son standing silently in a corner watching the doctor check Qi Chunlan one by one.
Because of fear, Qi Chunlan, though injured and unable to move rashly, revealed a scared look in her eyes.
Yan Dongsheng had pushed away his wife for nearly two months, but now seeing her ’deer-caught-in-headlights’ confusion in her eyes, all the deep-seated resentnt and anger in his heart could not flare up anymore—
