Li Lan entered with the needle kit, “Young lady, have you eaten? Would you like to get the injection now or later?”
“I haven’t eaten yet, but you can give me the injection first.” Qin Xue felt that it was alright to get the injection first, since Yu Xiu hadn’t returned yet.
“Alright, let me give you the injection first. Stretch out your hand.” Li Lan used a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to sanitize the back of Qin Xue’s hand, and then inserted the needle into her vein. She secured the needle with tape and put away the sanitizer tools only after Qin Xue’s hand was in a stable position.
“There you go, be careful yourself. I’ll come back later to change the IV solution for you.”
“Alright, thank you,” Qin Xue watched the drip infusing drop by drop into her bloodstream.
She wondered what she should do in the future, as she had never felt so lost. Now, aside from knowing her name was Qin Xue she knew nothing else; what was her path?
Just as the IV bag was nearly empty, Yu Xiu returned with a lunch box and two boiled eggs, “You’re getting the injection already? Do you want me to feed you the porridge or do you want to eat after the injection is done?”
“Just set it aside for now. I’ll eat after I’m done with the injection. I don’t have much of an appetite right now.” Qin Xue felt a bit queasy and didn’t really want to eat.
“It’s normal not to have an appetite. You’ve just been both pregnant and injured, on top of losing so much blood.
You should have been more careful when you were pregnant. If someone hadn’t discovered you in time that day,
you might not have survived considering how much blood you lost, let alone the child. Fortunately, both you and the child are safe. What if Chu Molin hadn’t come back?” Yu Xiu unusually shared so much with Qin Xue, whom she wasn’t familiar with, unaware of the impact her words had on her.
“Cough cough cough cough!” Qin Xue choked on her saliva from the shock of the news.
“Look at you, are you alright?” Yu Xiu patted Qin Xue’s back until she stopped coughing, and then handed her a cup of water.
“Yu Xiu, what did you just say? Did you say I’m pregnant? Does that mean I’m married already?” Qin Xue asked uncertainly.
“Exactly, don’t you know you’re pregnant? How could you become pregnant if you weren’t married?
Qin Xue, take my advice: after you recover from this injury, live a good life with Chu Molin.
Stop arguing and causing a scene. Although Chu Molin doesn’t talk much and always has a cold face, he’s a good person. You can tell just by how he was willing to put everything aside and marry you. Arguing not only damages your relationship but also has a negative impact on the child after he or she is born, don’t you think?” Yu Xiu shared the advice her husband Mr. Xu had asked her to give to Qin Xue.
“Sister-in-law, didn’t the doctor say I had memory loss due to my head injury?
There’s a blood clot pressing on my nerves, so I don’t remember a lot of things. Could you please tell me the details?”
Qin Xue wanted to learn more from Yu Xiu’s words, as everyone else had been secretive so far, besides Fang Hong who had met her in the morning. Since Yu Xiu was willing to share information, she wouldn’t let the opportunity go to waste.
“I can, but I don’t know much either.” Yu Xiu was not a person who liked to gossip about others’ affairs. If it hadn’t been for her husband, Xu Fangzhou, urging her to advise Qin Xue, she might not have wanted to share anything.
“That’s alright, Yu Xiu. Just share with me what you know. I’ve lost my memory and don’t remember anything. When you told me I was pregnant, I didn’t even know what to do.” Qin Xue revealed her thoughts bit by bit.
“What can you do? Heal your injuries, take care of yourself and the baby, and live a good life with Chu Molin when he comes back.” Though Yu Xiu’s facial expression was still indifferent, Qin Xue could feel the concern behind her words.
