I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies
219 Self-pity
Mo Ruyue only stopped when she heard this. He turned to look at Qing Xi. âNot playing anymore?â
âWhoâs making a scene? I just⦠I just wanted to drink my medicine.â
Qing Xi said stubbornly. However, this time, Mo Ruyue would not be so calculative with her. As long as she was willing to drink the medicine, it would be fine. The sooner she drank it, the sooner she could go home and reunite with her babies.
After helping Qing Xi drink the medicine, Mo Ruyue didnât leave immediately. Instead, she took the empty bowl and sat down by her bed, looking like she wanted to talk.
It had been a full day since Qing Xi had woken up. There was only a little more than half a day left until she was out of the most dangerous 48 hours.
Logically speaking, she should be at her weakest right now, but she still had the strength to argue with Mo Ruyue. This was all thanks to the effects of the space spring water.
Mo Ruyue had dripped a small amount of spatial spring water into Qing Xiâs medicine. The purpose was to reduce the pain of her wound and at the same time, speed up the healing of her wound and the recovery of her vital qi.
Before the operation, Qing Xiâs body had not recovered to the standard. She had barely reached the minimum standard for the operation. Now that she could not immediately replenish her energy with water and food after the operation, if she did not think of other ways to increase her nutrition, it was very easy for serious problems to arise.
From the looks of it, the spatial spring water had a good effect on Qing Xiâs recovery. At least she had the energy to argue with him. It was time to have a good talk with her.
âWhat are you doing? Iâm tired and want to rest.â
Qing Xi looked at Mo Ruyue warily. If it wasnât for the fact that her wounds would be affected if she moved even a little, she would have pulled the blanket over her head and ignored her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI know you need to rest. I didnât want to waste my breath. You wonât appreciate it anyway. But after thinking about it, itâs up to me whether to say it or not. Since I promised your father to cure you, you have to live up to my promise.â
Mo Ruyueâs indifferent attitude made Qing Xiâs nose sour and her eyes turn red.
She had always been protected since she was young, and she had never suffered such grievances. Now she could only lie on the bed alone, and those familiar maidservants were not by her side. Only this Lady Qin, who didnât take her seriously, took care of her.
When would such days end? When would she be completely free?
Qing Xi was busy feeling aggrieved and remorseful, but all her expressions were seen by Mo Ruyue. She saw through all her thoughts.
âWhy, do you feel wronged?â
Mo Ruyue laughed and suddenly asked, âMiss, what are you thinking when you look at your bulging stomach every day? Now that you canât see your familiar big belly, how do you feel?â
This sudden question stunned Qing Xi. Ever since she woke up, she had only been fighting with the pain of her wound and the feeling of hunger and thirst. She had not really taken a good look at her own changes.
She lowered her head to look at her stomach. The originally high bump was gone, and under the pure white blanket, there was only a flat area.
This was the first time she could see her feet while lying flat on the bed since she got sick.
Qing Xi stared blankly, her mind blank. It was only at this moment that she truly realized that the tumor that had been in her stomach for so many years was no longer there.
âA day and a half ago, Elder Tian and I, as well as two other doctors, performed a surgery that lasted for 10 hours in a row. We removed a 10-pound tumor from your body. Do you know what this means? â
Mo Ruyue looked at Qing Xiâs expression and said, âIf it had been a few days later, the tumor could have ruptured at any time. By then, you would have lost a lot of blood. Even the Gods wouldnât be able to save you. But now, youâre still acting like this.â
âMiss, itâs fine if you donât cherish your life that we fought so hard for. You can squander it however you want when youâve recovered. But now, you canât do it under my watch!â
She still had the same indifferent expression, but her tone had become a little stern.
âIf you want to get better soon, then cooperate with me. As soon as your physical condition recovers to a certain extent, Iâll immediately get your girls and mothers to come and take care of you. This way, we wonât have to hate each other. What do you think? â
Mo Ruyue made another suggestion. However, this time, her words were not as piercing to Qing Xiâs ears.
It was clearly not anything good, but Qing Xi heard something she had never noticed before.
She stared at Mo Ruyue seriously and didnât say anything. She just stared at Mo Ruyue, making Mo Ruyue almost forget what she wanted to say.
âWhat, this suggestion doesnât work? Then why donât you tell us a feasible method and we can discuss it. Anyway, your health is the most important right now. If you keep going against me like this, Iâm not the one whoâs going to be unlucky in the end.â
Mo Ruyue recalled what she had just said and didnât find anything wrong. But since she wanted to talk things out with Qing Xi, she should listen to her opinion.
If it was feasible, she could consider it. If not, she could just treat it as a way to train her mouth. At least it could be considered as an exercise, a way to relax and change her mood.
Mo Ruyue was thinking this in her heart when she heard Qing Xi suddenly ask.
âLady Qin, when you performed the operation on me, did you think that I would survive?â
âOf course, Iâve always believed that youâll survive. Although your previous physical condition wasnât very good, you still have the will to live and are very cooperative. Plus, I have 100% confidence in my medical skills, so what reason do you have not to live?â
Mo Ruyue said matter-of-factly. Her attitude made Qing Xi open her mouth slightly in shock and then suddenly smile.
âLady Qin, Iâm a little sleepy, I want to sleep for a while.â
Qing Xi suddenly said. She looked very energetic and did not seem tired.
Mo Ruyue thought that she simply didnât want to continue the conversation. After all, ever since she woke up, other than falling asleep a few times due to exhaustion, she had never stopped as long as she was awake.
It was rare for her to take the initiative to ask for a break. Although the short conversation did not achieve the effect that Mo Ruyue had expected, she still nodded in agreement.
âAlright, then you should rest well.â
Mo Ruyue watched as Qing Xi closed her eyes and casually tucked her in. Then, she got up and left the ward quietly.
After the room became quiet again, Qing Xi, who had âfallen asleepâ, opened her eyes again. She looked in the direction of the door and seemed to be thinking about something. Soon, she closed her eyes again and really fell into a deep sleep.
Very quickly, Mo Ruyue discovered that Qing Xi seemed to have changed.
