Jing Bo Yuan hears Luo Feng’s words. He knows what happened.
He walks toward Ye Qing Xin and carries her up to the bed.
Ye Qing Xin’s face is wet, it’s full of tear mark.
Jing Bo Yuan feels sorry for her. He wants to wipe her tears but it seems that her tears trickle nonstop.
He sits down beside her and hugs her.
Previously he sent Old Madame Jing back to her bedroom. He touched his pocket to find his phone to call the doctor for Old Madame Jing, but he couldn’t find it. He realized that his phone should be upstair. He returned hurriedly back to the room. He was too late.
He could hear Ye Qing Xin’s tears.
Ye Qing Xin keeps on crying.
“Bo Yuan, Xiao Guo… it’s my fault…. it’s my fault…”
Luo Feng feels that he wants to cry too. “Chief Jing…. Tai Tai…..”
Jing Bo Yuan feels his part of the chest is wet. He hugs Ye Qing Xin with one of his hand and takes the phone.
He switches off the speaker and says: “How is the condition?”
His voice is deep and terrifying.
Luo Feng doesn’t dare to delay, he explains it clearly.
“Check again.”
Luo Feng is startled. “Isn’t it clear already…”
Then he seems to realize something. “Chief Jing, you are suspecting that Jiu could see Xiao Guo’s photo as a planned action?”
It’s not accident, it’s man-made.
“I understand your meaning. I’ll ask someone to check.”
If this is planned, Ye Qing Guo is just a retarded boy. It’s nonsense if someone want to harm him. There should be someone that wants to attack the one that care so much about Xiao Guo.
The person that cares about Xiao Guo so much, there’s only Ye Qing Xin.
Ye Qing Xin’s due-date is approaching. She has three kids. This can be classified as high risk pregnancy.
This makes him someone furious.
He hangs up the call and puts down the phone. He takes tissue to wipe her tears. He persuades her softly. “Yi Sheng said that Xiao Guo’s condition is stable. He will recover.”
After a moment, Ye Qing Xin’s mood turns calmer. She raises her head and looks at Jing Bo Yuan: “I want to go to hospital to look at Xiao Guo….”
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her pleading eyes, he strokes her hair helplessly. “We can go but you cannot cry anymore, okay?”
Ye Qing Xin wipes her tears, “okay.” She promises, but her tears seem cannot be controlled.
Jing Bo Yuan takes a coat for Jing Bo Yuan. The time Ye Qing Xin wears her pants, Ye Qing Xin groans in pain.
“What happened?”
“My belly is in pain.” She covers her belly. It’s clear.
Jing Bo Yuan is startled and helps her to wear her pants. Then he dials a number.
Ye Qing Xin feels something is trickling down from her bottom part. She goes to the bathroom and sits down on the closet. She notices a dark brown blood. She remembers what she read from the book.
She is anxious.
“Bo, Bo Yuan…” Her voice is shaking.
Jing Bo Yuan tells Auntie Zhang about something and puts down the phone.
Ye Qing Xin says: “I think will give birth…”
Jing Bo Yuan notices the dark brown trace on her panty. He comes over to help her wear it. Then he carries her up.
They go downstairs. Three elders already know about this. Auntie Zhang is holding several big plastic, she says nervously: “Everything is packed. Let’s go.”
Everything that is needed for the babies and the mother has prepared since two months ago.
“Is it too painful?” Old Madame Jing sounds worried.
Though she is a mother of four, but looking how big Ye Qing Xin’s belly is, she still feels nervous for her.
“Not really.” Ye Qing Xin answers honestly.
“No matter how, we should be quick. Now let’s go to the hospital.” Old Madame Sheng urges.
Jing Bo Yuan drives the car with Ye Qing Xin, Auntie Zhang drives the car with three elders.
The nurses and doctors in the hospital are ready. The time Ye Qing Xin is ready, someone takes her to do check up before giving birth.
Ning Yi Sheng and Bai Yi Sheng are present too. Ye Qing Xin is in the first opening. If she wants to have a normal birth, it will take some time. Probably tonight she will not give birth. If she wants a Caesarean birth, they can do it immediately.
Ye Qing Xin has considered both of the options. She already chooses to have a normal birth.
“I want to try the normal one.” She doesn’t hesitate.
Though the Caesarean birth can save her from having a lot of pain, she wants to choose the best one for the kids.
Bai Yi Sheng and Ning Yi Sheng respect her decision. “Then you can return to the patient room and have a sleep. If there’s a problem, you can inform us.
After finishing an examination, Ye Qing Xin concerns about Ye Qing Guo. She says to Jing Bo Yuan: “The doctor said that there’s time. I want to visit Xiao Guo.”
Ye Qing Guo is also in Jing He hospital.
They enter Ye Qing Guo’s sickroom. There’re many people inside the room. Beside two nurses, there are two police officers and Xu Jin Huan. She is sitting down on the bed side and holding Ye Qing Guo’s hand. Her face is fullof tears.
Ye Qing Xin takes a look at Ye Qing Guo and her tears start to trickle down again.
Ye Qing Guo always has a white and pale face, but now it is so pale that now she can see the blue arteries. His lips is pale too.
The police officers grett Jing Bo Yuan. “Jing Xian Sheng.”
Jing Bo Yuan nods at both of them, he says: “Sorry to trouble both of you guys. You guys can go home and have a rest.”
“Then we’ll leave first. Goodbye Jing Xian Sheng, Jing Tai Tai.”
Ye Qing Xin gives them a weak smile. “Thank you.”
“This is our duty.”
After two of them leave.
This time.
“Jie Jie, save me!”
Ye Qing Guo screams. His hands are moving erratically. His legs are kicking like he is struggling.
“Xiao Guo!” Xu Jin Huan holds his hand and says: “Xiao Guo, don’t move. Xu Jie Jie is here. Don’t be afraid.”
The nurses also help to hold Ye Qing Guo’s other hand and his legs.
Ye Qing Xin’s legs start to weaken, her heart is so broken and pain than her belly.
“Jie Jie…” Ye Qing Guo cries. His voice is full of desperation.
Ye Qing Xin comes forward and holds Ye Qing Guo’s hand. “Xiao Guo, Jie Jie is here. Sorry Jie Jie, doesn’t appear on time….”
“Xiao Guo. I’m sorry….. I’m sorry…..”
Except saying her apology, she doesn’t know what else should she say.
Ye Qing Guo turns silent.
Ye Qing Xin cries and helps to cover him with blanket. She notices there are red marks on his clothes like a trace of blood.
She wipes her tears.
Her hand is trembling, she wants to lift up his clothes to see the scars.
But a big hand covers her hand to stop her.
Jing Bo Yuan pulls her and helps her to cover Ye Qing Guo up with the blanket.
Ye Qing Xin knows that Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t want to let her see the scars.
It should be so serious and scary that Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t let her see it.
She sits on the bedside and holds Ye Qing Guo’s hand.
Then she feels the pain again. It’s getting more intense and clearer.
After a while.
“Ye Xiao Jie, I’m sorry.” Xu Jin Huan apologizes.
Ye Qing Xin is silent.
“I didn’t take a good care of him. I let him down….” Xu Jin Huan touches Ye Qing Guo’s pale face. “Hereafter I will definitely make up for a deficiency for him.”
She doesn’t wait for Ye Qing Xin’s response, she just continues. “Since I noticed that Xiao Guo was missing till I heard the news that he is found. There’re twenty five hours. In those hours, my heart felt like someone dig it out from my body. I always thought that Xiao Guo for me is Sheng Sheng’s shadow. I sometimes saw Sheng Sheng on him.”
“Now I just realize that Xiao Guo is Xiao Guo, he is not a mere replacement.”
That day when she was in the road and noticed a figure that is similar to Ren Sheng and Ye Qing Guo. Xu Jin Huan rushed and held that hand. She called after Xiao Guo and not Sheng Sheng.
That time she suddenly realizes Ye Qing Guo’s position in her heart. It’s not simply as Sheng Sheng’s reflection.
Ye Qing Xin is startled.
“You…..”
“Xu Jin Huan smiles. “Yes, this life time I want to take care Xiao Guo, just like his lover.”
Ye Qing Xin is surprised. She silently admires her for her brave words.
Perhaps since Xu Jin Huan told her about that story of her and Sheng Sheng, she has admired her.
She is not a simple or ordinary woman. She can persist to love even though in the toughest time.
Ye Qing Xin calms down and says: “With Xiao Guo’s condition, it’s possible that this life time he cannot know your feeling toward him. Of course he might not able to respond as you want…”
“I know.” Xu Jin Huan cuts Ye Qing Xin off. “I know about all these. That year after Sheng Sheng’s accident, a lot of people also told me that. I know what is the consequence of my choice.”
“But Xiao Guo and Sheng Sheng are both the angels that God hands down among the people. They both are innocent angels. I feel so lucky. That I lose once, but God gives me the second chance.”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t say anything else.
She uses to dream to let Ye Qing Guo to have a normal life, including marrying and having kids. But that time she couldn’t imagine what kind of woman will want to be with him.
She didn’t expect that it’ll be an excellent woman like Xu Jin Huan.
She is twenty five years old, she is beautiful. She comes from a well-off family, talented, she even has a great business…..
Ye Qing Xin examines Xu Jin Huan’s pretty face and says nothing else.
She sits down there for a while and Jing Bo Yuan takes her back to her own sick room.
Now it’s already 09:00 p.m.
On the way to her sickroom, she thinks about Ye Qing Guo’s suffering. Her tears start to fall again, then she thinks about what Xu Jin Huan said to her. She feels somehow happy that there’s a good thing comes out from this disaster.
She selfishly hopes that Xu Jin Huan really can be her Di Mei (Sister-in-law).
Except being good-looking and generous, Xu Jin Huan also has experience of taking care of Sheng Sheng for several years. She will take a good care for Ye Qing Xin.
She has reason to believe her. She believes that Xu Jun Huan is sincere toward Ye Qing Guo.
“Bo Yuan, you heard to Xu Jin Huan’s words right, you think she and Xiao Guo….”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t answer her, he just asks her about the most important thing. “How is your belly?”
Ye Qing Xin feels the contraction, it’s painful.
She covers her belly and says: “I’m in pain.”
Jing Bo Yuan frowns: “Is it so painful?”
“I’m okay. I can endure it.”
Previously, the three elders followed Ye Qing Xin and Jing Bo Yuan here. After knowing that Ye Qing Xin might not giving birth directly, Ye Qing Xin asks them to go home.
Though there’s still room in the sick room, the three elders will not feel comfortable there.
Jing Bo Yuan helps Ye Qing Xin to freshen up after they return to Ye Qing Xin’s sick room. Then he lets her to lay down.
At first, the rhythm of the contraction has a long interval, but in the midnight, it turns to be more frequent. It’s so painful. Ye Qing Xin cannot endure. Every time she feels the pain, she trembles.
Ye Qing Xin tells this when the nurse comes over to check on her. The nurse says that it’s normal.
There’s an oxygen mask near the bed. The nurse asks her to use it. Ye Qing Xin feels uncomfortable to wear it so she just takes it off after the nurse leaves.
Jing Bo Yuan lays down beside her and doesn’t close his eyes all along.
“Why aren’t you sleeping?” Ye Qing Xin notices that Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t close his eyes.
Jing Bo Yuan hugs her even tighter. The lights are off.
“Close your eyes, don’t say anything more.”
There’s another contraction. Ye Qing Xin closes her eyes and bites her lips. Her body trembles.
The night just passes by like that.
The sun hasn’t shone and three elders rush to the hospital. They also bring the nannies that they have chosen for the babies.
The nannies are the maids of Old Madame Jing so they are known quite well by Old Madame Jing. They are relieved because of this.
They are careful to not wake Ye Qing Xin up, they even don’t turn on the light. Ye Qing Xin still wakes up because of the pain, she doesn’t sleep really well.
“Are we disturbing you?” Old Madame Yan asks.
Ye Qing Xin shakes her head. Jing Bo Yuan helps her to sit up. Ye Qing Xin smiles to Old Madame Yan and says: “I don’t sleep too heavily.”
“It’s great that you wake up, let’s eat something.” Old Madame Jing brings nutritious food for her.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t have great appetite but she doesn’t refuse because she knows that elders are worried and caring of her. She forces herself to eat several bites.
The room is quiet. The nurse says that moving around will help in giving birth. Ye Qing Xin moves around inside the sick room. Jing Bo Yuan also blindly follows her.
He cannot do anything to reduce her pain, he feels that he should accompany her. He didn’t sleep last night, but his face shows no sign of tiredness.
“If not you can sleep for a while, Wai Po Nai Nai are here. It’s okay.” Ye Qing Xin remembers that last night every time she felt the pain and woke up, she could see his opened eyes.
She knows that, for the whole night, he was watching her.
“No need.” Jing Bo Yuan says calmly.
05:30 p.m. The sun shows up. Ye Qing Xin receives a call from Xu Jin Huan. She informs her that Ye Qing Guo is conscious now.
Ye Qing Xin is happy. The time she wants to ask to meet Ye Qing Guo. She feels something flows out from her. It’s hot and a lot.
She doesn’t dare to move. “Something flows out from me, it’s a lot…”
“Is it amniotic fluid? It means you will give birth. Quick, hurry up, press the bell to call nurse. A Yuan, help Xin Xin lay down…..”
Ye Qing Xin then is taken to the delivery room.
It’s a private delivery room. Inside there are three doctors and six nurses. The doctors include Bai Yi Sheng and Ning Yi Sheng.
Jing Bo Yuan also wears the sterile blue clothes and cap. He accompanies Ye Qing Xin to go inside.
