We went to the hospital, registered, checked, tossed around in the middle of the night, and finally found out that the child had pneumonia.
The doctor told us when he was taking the temperature that it was fortunate that we were here now, and that if we had been any later, the child would have been in trouble because the child's temperature was already 40 degrees Celsius.
The doctor gave the child an injection and gave him the liquid. The child slept for a while, woke up again, and then cried again.
"Auntie Liu, what's going on? Why is she still crying?" I looked at the child, not knowing what to do.
"She should be hungry, or thirsty. Such a young child, she has to go buy milk powder and bottles for her …" Auntie Liu told me. I nodded, ran to the supermarket on the first floor, and bought the baby some milk powder and bottles.
According to what Auntie Liu had taught me, I washed the child's milk powder. The child wrapped his mouth around his mouth and began to eat with a "gulping" sound.
"What a cute child, what a pity … "Bad luck." Aunt Liu looked at the child and could not help but wipe her eyes.
That's right, it really was as Xu Zicheng had said, she was a beautiful child. When she grew up, she would definitely be a pretty girl, but … Like me, it's bad luck.
The child was full and slept with his eyes closed, but after a while he woke up crying.
"Auntie Liu, why is she crying after eating her fill?"
"This child is too young. Without her mother, no one will be able to sleep peacefully while hugging her." Auntie Liu told me.
I saw that the child was pitiful, so I lay down on my side beside her and patted her hand. After a while, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
"You stay here and watch over the child. If you don't understand, you can ask the doctor. I'll go home and see Xu Ziyin." Just before dawn, Auntie Liu told me.
I nodded.
I was so tired and sleepy that I fell asleep.
I was awakened by an itch, and when I opened my eyes, it was the child who used my arm as a breast. In the room, with her mouth open and sucking on it …
I quickly got up and poured some water for the child. The child gulped down some water, and when I touched her forehead, it was actually a little cool.
I was suddenly so excited that I couldn't help but tear up in my eyes.
This little life, although it shouldn't have come to this world, she must have already come.
I thought back to when I was young, when I was born, I calculated that my life was tough, and then my father died that year. My grandfather knew I was wrong, and several times he tried to throw me into the woods with my mother on his back.
Mother said that if she threw it into the woods, the wolf would probably eat it. Fortunately, she found out in time every time and saved me.
Under such circumstances, my mother was worried that my grandfather would do something else and marry Liu Honghai with me.
When we arrived at Liu Honghai's home, Liu Honghai was in a car accident, and his mother was pregnant a few times, but he couldn't keep his child. Liu Honghai also saw me as an ominous thing, and he got angry with his mother a few times, and wanted to throw me away.
When he grew up and got married, something like this happened again.
I looked at the child, although there was still some hatred in my heart, but it was also hatred for Xu Ziyin, hate He Jia, has nothing to do with this child.
When it was morning, I called my mother and asked her to come to the hospital.
My mother thought something had happened to Xu Ziyin and rushed over, only to see the child.
When my mother saw this child, she couldn't help but hug me and cry. "Eight o'clock, how can you be so miserable, so miserable!"
"Mom, I've thought about it. I'm just saving her life. Once she recovers, I'll send her to the orphanage." I looked at my mother and said sadly.
Mother didn't say anything, but she helped me take care of the child in silence.
I went to the hotel around nine o'clock, and my mother stayed in the hospital with the baby.
The child stayed in the hospital for half a month, and every day, it was me, my mother, and Auntie Liu who took turns watching the child. Because the child had been burned to pneumonia, apart from coughing, it also had a recurrent fever.
After half a month, I was finally able to stabilize my body. My mother and I carried our child home.
"Eight o'clock, what are you going to do with this child?" Mother held the baby for me and asked me.
"Mom, she is the child of Xu Ziyin and Little San. How do you think I can raise her …" I have no choice but to send her to the orphanage. " I looked at the child. Honestly, I couldn't bear to do it, but I still said it anyway.
"How about this, I'll carry her home and say that I picked up a child and I'll raise her." My mother looked at me as if she'd thought about it for a long time.
"This... Will you? Liu Honghai … He definitely won't agree to it. " I looked at my mother and said a little helplessly.
"It's okay, we're both old anyway. He always wanted a child, and none of these years. I'll just carry her back and see what Liu Honghai has to say." My mother looked at me with some determination.
Because of all the bad things that had happened in the past few years, his mother now believed in Buddha.
She told me that everything was a matter of cause and effect, that she must have done nothing good in her previous life, and that she had been punished for the rest of her life, and that she had dragged me down.
"Mom, this …" I looked at my mother and thought about Liu Honghai's temper.
"I'll try." My mother looked at me and nodded.
So the mother carried the child back.
I went back to the hotel.
At noon, I quietly called my mother to ask her how she was doing. My mother said that Liu Honghai hadn't come back yet, but Liu Ruyi had come back and asked about the child. My mother said that she had picked it up, but Liu Ruyi didn't say anything and went out again.
"En, Mom, wait for Liu Honghai to come back and see what he says. You must not argue with him, lest he attacks again." I picked up the phone, worried.
"I know." "Don't worry, I won't argue with him right now." My mother consoled me and put down the phone.
In the past few years, Mother and Liu Honghai often got into an argument because of me, and due to some random things, Liu Honghai would act against Mother as soon as his temper flared. Fortunately, Mother now believes in Buddha, so she never had an argument with him.
I spent the whole afternoon and night in a state of trepidation, and I believe that no news is the best news.
This at least meant that the child was with the mother, and Liu Honghai at least didn't chase the mother and child out.
Just as he was about to get off work, Lin Yufan actually arrived.
He told me that he had been to the southern branch office for a few days and that there was a problem with the business there, so he went over to solve the problem and came back to check on it.
For some reason, I looked at Lin Yufan and felt an indescribable warmth.
"Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, then it just so happens that the chef hasn't left yet. I looked at Lin Yufan and said happily.
"I've eaten. "By the way, what happened to the child?" When Lin Yufan said this to me, he remembered the child.
The last time I talked to him was when Xu Zicheng sent the baby over that day. He didn't know the results yet.
So I told him about the baby.
Lin Yufan frowned.
Before Lin Yufan could say anything, my phone rang. It was Liu Ruyi.
I pressed the answer button and Liu Ruyi shouted from inside, "Eight o'clock Liu, hurry up and carry the child away! "My dad is mad at your mom. If you don't take this kid away, I'll throw her out on the street!"
