The scene in the dream was blurry.
Li Xiwu couldnât even see her motherâs face clearly on the bed. The only thing she could see clearly was her motherâs blue and white hospital gown. It was especially dazzling.
âYouâre in the later stage of pregnancy. Itâs not convenient to go out. Donât come over every day. Iâm in good shape today. The nurses say I look a lot better than I did a few days ago. I love this wig. Itâs a color Iâve always wanted to try but havenât made up my mind to try. When Iâm better, Iâll go and dye one like it, but you canât tell your father. Heâll definitely disapprove.â
Li Xiwu slowly reached out, trying to touch her mother. Her outstretched hand was held by another warm hand. Li Xiwu looked up, trying to see the face of the person in front of her clearly, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldnât see it clearly. Her motherâs face was clearly in front of her, but it was still very blurry.
âLittle You.â She heard a helpless sigh from her mother. âMom loves you. I love you so much. If possible, I want to stay with you until you get married. Then together with your father, I want to personally put your hand in the hands of the person who can take care of you for the rest of your life. Only then can I feel at ease.
âBut Iâm sorry, Mom doesnât have much time?â
Warm tears landed on the back of Li Xiwuâs hand. She thought they were her motherâs tears, but when she made a choking sound, she realized that they were her own tears.
âMom.â She made a hoarse sound, emotionally broken.
At this moment, she looked pained because her stomach suddenly hurt. As she held her bulging stomach, she wanted to say something else. When she looked up in a daze, her blurry vision instantly became clear. She saw her worried mother.
âMomâ¦â She was thrilled.
Her mother threw back the covers and got out of bed. Holding her by the back of her shoulder, she raised her voice and shouted at the door of the ward. âNurse! Nurse!â Soon, the ward door was pushed open from the outside two nurses hurried in. Her mother said to the two nurses, âQuick, my daughterâs stomach hurtsâ¦â
The nurse said, âMaybe itâs a symptom of miscarriage. Help her out first. We canât let her stay here forever.â
Li Xiwu shook her head stubbornly. âNo, no, Iâm not leaving.â
But the nurse wouldnât listen to her at all and forcefully took her away from her motherâs ward. In the lift, Li Xiwu gripped her motherâs cuff tightly.
No matter how hard she tried to stay, she was forced to break free.
At the last moment, Li Xiwu waved her hand blind in the air and grabbed her motherâs hand again. She cried, âMom, wait for me⦠Can you wait for me?
Please, wait for me. You have to wait for meâ¦
Her mother took her hand and said to her in a gentle voice, âOkay. Mom will wait for you.â
With that, her mother firmly pried her hand away.
Li Xiwu cried until she couldnât breathe. She watched as her motherâs thin figure became more and more blurry before finally disappearing from her vision.
The scene in the dream was silently changing.
After being taken out of the ward, Li Xiwu fainted.
When she opened her eyes again, she stared at the white ceiling with empty and blank eyes. After being in a daze for a long time, she slowly sat up and looked around. She realized that the person lying on the bed in a blue and white hospital gown had become her.
She slowly raised her hands and touched her cheeks.
Was this still a dream? Dream or not, she wanted to see her mother. Yes! To see her mother!
Li Xiwu lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed, but a sharp pain in her abdomen made her immediately stop. She slowly looked down and realized that her abdomen, which should have been bulging, had become flat.
Li Xiwuâs face instantly turned pale. Where were her children? She anxiously touched her stomach. There was nothing. She quickly lifted her hospital gown to look at her stomach. It was no longer slender, but it was not a big belly. There was a nearly ten-centimeter-long internal suture wound under the abdomen. It was not eye-catching, but it could not be ignored.
She stared at her stomach in a daze for a long time. She did not even hear when the nurse came in until the nurse quickly walked forward and pulled down her hospital gown. âMiss Li) why are you up? You have to lie down and rest now.â
Li Xiwu looked up at the nurse in front of her and asked, âWhereâs my baby?â The nurse paused, but didnât answer.
Li Xiwu grabbed the nurseâs hand and asked anxiously, âWhereâs my baby?â
The nurse pulled her hand back. âYou should rest first.â
At that moment, Li Xiwu suddenly lost control of her emotions and was in a daze. She gripped the nurseâs hand tightly and asked in a trembling voice, âIs my baby gone?
The nurse shook her head. âNo, your babies are all here. Itâs just that theyâre not very healthy right now. You canât see them for the time being.â
âYou lied to me⦠You lied to me, you lied to me! You lied to me!â Li Xiwu, who had lost control of her emotions, did not believe the nurse at all.
She pushed the nurseâs hand away and stood up.
The nurse held her down and persuaded, âMiss Li, the wounds on your body canât withstand your actions. You should rest well now, do you hear me? You should lie down and rest!â
However, at this moment, Li Xiwu couldnât listen to anything. She just wanted to see the two babies.
There were waves of pain in her lower abdomen. In addition to the pain from the wound in the inner seam, there was also a knife-like pain in her lower abdomen. In an instant, her face turned as pale as paper, and layers of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Even with the pain, she didnât stop. She was desperate to get out.
Seeing that she couldnât stop her any longer, the nurse quickly pressed the call bell by the bed. A moment later, two more doctors and two nurses came in.
They came over to help hold down the struggling Li Xiwu. Another doctor said) âDo you want a tranquilizer?
âYou canât give her a tranquilizer without permission. You have to ask Madam
Di Xin.â
âBut sheâs
âHurry up and contact Madam Di Xin!â
âYes. â
A doctor went out to contact Madam Di Xin, while the other doctors and nurses held down Li Xiwu, who was struggling and resisting. Knowing the reason why she had lost control of her emotions, the doctor tried to communicate with her.
But it was useless.
Madam Di Xin rushed to the hospital immediately. When she saw Li Xiwu in such pain, Madam Di Xin had no choice but to make up her mind and agree to give Li Xiwu a tranquilizer.
After a while, the doctor and nurse helped Li Xiwu, who was covered in sweat, lie on the bed. After she stopped struggling, a tranquilizer seemed to have taken away her soul. She closed her eyes slightly and looked at the ceiling in a daze.
Madam Di Xin sat quietly by the bed and chatted with her. She wondered if Li Xiwu had heard her.
She stared at the ceiling quietly for a long time until the sound in her ears disappeared.. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleepâ¦
