Chapter 808: Chapter 546: Awakening
In the latter half of the night, Zhou Jiping woke up. In her consciousness, she was still in the car, so she couldn’t help but softly call out, “Mingtao, where are we now?”
“Little Ji…” Lin Yanqiu hurriedly approached and dabbed her daughter’s lips with a cotton swab, “The doctor said it’s best to wait until tomorrow to drink water. If you’re thirsty, just bear with it.”
She used this method to tell her daughter where she was now.
Sure enough, Zhou Jiping was taken aback, looking at her in confusion, “Mom, how am I in a hospital?”
“Second sister, is there anywhere you’re uncomfortable?” Chuxia looked at her with concern, “If there’s anything bothering you, let me know, and I’ll call the doctor for you.”
“What on earth happened to me?” Zhou Jiping looked at the two of them in distress, “Mom, Chuxia, don’t hide it from me. Tell me, did I get into an accident, are my legs gone?”
Lin Yanqiu glared at her and pinched her leg, “Your legs are perfectly fine right here, what nonsense are you saying?”
“You scared me to death…” Zhou Jiping let out a long breath, “Seeing your expressions earlier, and feeling the numbness in my legs, I thought I got into an accident and lost my legs. By the way, where’s Mingtao? Is he alright?”
“He’s fine, I let him go home to rest.” Lin Yanqiu smiled at her, “Isn’t it odd, wondering why you’re in the hospital?”
Zhou Jiping nodded vigorously, “Mom, just tell me, I’m worried sick!”
“What are you worried about?” Yoon Duo walked in with a smile, “I figured you were about to wake up, come, let me check on you…” As she spoke, she glanced at the data on the bedside monitor. After a while, she nodded at Zhou Jiping, “You’re doing well, in good health, but you must not stay too long in cold places anymore, or you’ll harm your body.”
“What’s wrong with me?”
Yoon Duo gave her a stern look, “How can you not know your own condition and go busying yourself with nonsense, don’t you care about yourself at all?”
“Stop keeping me in suspense, will you?” Zhou Jiping, anxious, tried to sit up, “If you don’t tell me, I’m really going to go crazy.”
“Second sister, it’s not that we don’t want to tell you, but we’re afraid…” Chuxia hesitated for a moment, looking at her seriously, “If the doctor told you that if you take good care of yourself now, you can have a healthy and beautiful baby in a year, what would you do?”
Without thinking, Zhou Jiping replied, “Of course, I would follow the doctor’s advice, take good care of myself, and look forward to being a mom.”
“Then, what you need to do now is cooperate with the doctor’s orders, take good care of yourself, and prepare to be a mom. As for the previous illness…” Chuxia couldn’t continue, sighed, and looked at Lin Yanqiu, “Mom, you should tell her.”
“Little Ji, your period this month is five or six days late, didn’t you know?”
“I know.” Zhou Jiping looked at her mom with embarrassment, “I used to be irregular too, so I didn’t think much of it. Is it because I didn’t pay attention that my period came at the wrong time and got this severe?”
“That’s correct, in principle…” Lin Yanqiu sighed, “I don’t even know what to say about you, how can someone be so careless? You didn’t even know you were pregnant.”
“I wasn’t deliberately careless, I thought since the Yu family had already made the request, and I happened to have free time…” As she spoke, Zhou Jiping suddenly paused, then, in disbelief, looked at Lin Yanqiu, “Mom, could you repeat what you just said?”
“I said you didn’t even know you were pregnant, that’s right, you’ve just had a miscarriage, so you need to take good care of yourself for now. Originally, I planned to lie to you and not tell you, but that wouldn’t be fair to you. I believe my daughter has the strength to get through this step.”
“What about Yu Mingtao?”
“I sent him away. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have ended up like this. So, Mom’s intention is to listen to your opinion once you wake up.
The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. If you want to spend New Year at the Yu family, Mom, your brother, and your little brother will take you there. If you want to spend New Year at our home, we can conveniently discharge tomorrow and go home.
As for you and Yu Mingtao, Mom hopes you think through carefully before deciding what to do next. Regardless, this time, he can’t shirk his responsibility, and Mom is very angry.”
“Did he not ask to stay when you sent him away?”
“Of course he did, but I resolutely sent him away. I must give you enough time to think about what you truly want.
If it weren’t for his family causing trouble, such a thing wouldn’t have happened. Chuxia also told him that if he supported you enough in his family, things wouldn’t have reached this point.
So, Mom hopes you’ll seriously consider what you want to do. No matter what decision you make, Mom supports you, your brother and your little brother, and your sister-in-law all support you.”
The room fell into a long silence, and Yoon Duo sighed helplessly, “Jiping, if you really love children and want to have your own, you must keep your spirits up. I assure you, as long as you adjust well, you’ll definitely be a mom in a year.”
“When did you become a gynecologist?” Zhou Jiping joked bitterly with Yoon Duo, whom she knew before, “Is it my mind that’s malfunctioned, or did you change departments?”
“I’m not a gynecologist, but I’m on night duty today, your condition can’t be delayed, and my elective just happened to be gynecology, so I had to step in.”
“Then why didn’t you save my child?”
Yoon Duo sighed, “I wanted to, but when you came in, the miscarriage had already happened, and there was nothing I could do.”
Zhou Jiping just stared at the ceiling, saying nothing.
Knowing she needed time to process everything, no one hurried her.
After a while, Zhou Jiping turned to Lin Yanqiu, “Mom, let Yu Mingtao come over, I want to hear what he has to say.”
“I can tell you what he said…” Lin Yanqiu repeated Yu Mingtao’s previous words, “I don’t know if we can still trust him, so I’m leaving this decision up to you.”
“I trust him, but I don’t want to go to the Yu family for New Year.”
“Got it.” Lin Yanqiu nodded and looked at Zhou Mikang, “Go to the Yu family and tell Yu Mingtao your sister’s decision. If he’s willing, let him come to our home for New Year. If not, then each can celebrate in their own home. As for the rest, we’ll talk about it after New Year when your sister is feeling better.”
“Alright.” Zhou Mikang responded, turning to leave. Being Little Ji’s brother, his fury over the situation was evident, but for his sister’s happiness, he had to endure. Now that his sister had made her stance clear, it made things easier for him.(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
