Even though Shi Nuannuan had been holding back the pain in her heart, she could not control the tears that filled her eyes. She tried her best to hold them back, but her eyes still turned red.
In order to hide her reddened eyes, she lowered her head and tried her best not to let Zuo Weiyi notice her.
âIs that so?â Zuo Weiyi smiled. She did not notice the sudden change in Shi Nuannuan.
Gu Yansheng could tell that if Shi Nuannuan were to speak again, her voice would probably be choked with sobs, so he changed the topic.
âWeiyi, what do you want to eat tonight? Iâll go buy you something.â
Zuo Weiyi looked at Gu Yansheng with a smile, âUh, I donât think I can eat yet.â
Zhong Shenghao had told her that because of the surgery, she had to wait for her wound to heal before she could eat.
Zhong Shenghao was concerned. He didnât know this.
âYou canât eat? But you havenât eaten since last night. Arenât you hungry?â
Zuo Weiyi shook her head. âI wonât feel hungry. Itâs just that...â she licked her dry lips, âIâm very thirsty.â
Since last night, she hadnât taken a drop of water so she was feeling quite thirsty. But Zhong Shenghao said that she couldnât drink water for the time being either.
âDonât worry, she wonât feel hungry with the IV drip.â At this time, Zhong Shenghao also joined in.
Thanks to the change in topic, Shi Nuannuan finally calmed down.
Zuo Weiyiâs attention was fully focused on Zhong Shenghao and Gu Yansheng, so she didnât notice Shi Nuannuan wiping away her tears.
âThen when can she eat?âasked Gu Yansheng.
âMaybe tonight or tomorrow.â Zhong Shenghao replied. This would depend on her current physical condition.
When she could take a breather, when she could eat, and when she could drink water.
âThen, Iâll go buy some food for Miss Shi,â said Gu Yansheng. He wasnât very familiar with the Shi family, but he wasnât unfamiliar with them. Still, he didnât quite know how to address Shi Nuannuan.
Zhong Shenghao nodded.
After Gu Yansheng left, Zuo Weiyi looked back at Nuannuan.
âNuannuan, is grandfather alright?â
Shi Nuannuan looked up again, and thankfully her expression had already returned to normal.
âHeâs fine. He and Mommy might not be able to come today, so Iâll stay with you!â
Even though Shi Nuannuan pretended to be fine, the trauma in a personâs heart can still surface in the subtlest of ways.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
That was why Zuo Weiyi could tell at a glance that Shi Nuannuanâs face was slightly tired and haggard.
However, Weiyi just thought that Nuannuanâs complexion was due to the lack of sleep.
Hence, she could not help but say, âNuannuan, you should go back and rest too. I have given birth to the babies now. Itâs fine as long as the nurse is here.â
âIâm fine. I can rest here too! You donât have to worry about me,â said she softly as she threw Zuo Weiyi a reassuring smile!
Since she insisted, Zuo Weiyi didnât force her anymore.
Instead, she turned to Zhong Shenghao. âCan I see the babies tomorrow?â
A day had passed since they were born but she had only managed to take a look at them in the operating room.
At that time, her consciousness was a little blurry, so she could not see the two little faces clearly.
She wanted to know who they looked like up close.
Hearing this, Zhong Shenghao thought for a while before replying.
