Chapter 645 - The Countdown (1/2)

“You know, Qingsang wasn’t in a good condition when she gave birth to the baby. She also lost a lot of blood. She’s very weak now and needs to rest.”

“Just because she needs to rest doesn’t mean that she should be unconscious, right?” Huo Jinyao was really anxious. “Didn’t you say that there’s no problem? If there’s no problem, why isn’t she awake yet?”

“I only said that there’s no big problem. I didn’t say that she would wake up immediately.”

“Then what would it take for her to wake up?”

Sun Huiya looked at Su Qingsang. She had slept for the entire night and her complexion was better than it was yesterday, but she was still as pale as a sheet of paper.

Su Qingsang’s vitality had been greatly damaged by the birth of the twins this time. It was actually quite normal for her to be like this now.

However, seeing how worried Huo Jinyao was, Sun Huiya didn’t know what else to say.

“Don’t be too nervous. She might wake up tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow? I still have to wait until tomorrow?”

How could Huo Jinyao wait any longer? He couldn’t wait for a minute for an hour longer.

Li Qianxue looked at Huo Jinyao. After watching Huo Jinyao’s performance for the past two days, she, as Qingsang’s mother, was a little astonished.

However, when she saw Huo Jinyao’s stubble and wrinkled clothes, she couldn’t help but step forward and speak.

“Jinyao, since the doctor said that Qingsang will wake up tomorrow, you can wait another day. Look, you can’t help much by staying here now. Why don’t you go back and tidy yourself up first?”

Huo Jinyao stood there without moving. He didn’t want to leave Su Qingsang’s side for even a minute.

Liu Tongjia had also arrived. Behind her was Auntie Zhou, who was carrying a lunch box and a bag.

“Jinyao, youe mother-in-law has a point. How can you look like this? Go and tidy yourself up.”

As she spoke, Auntie Zhou went forward and handed the bag to Huo Jinyao.

“I’ve packed a few sets of clothes for you. Go into the bathroom, take a shower, and change your clothes. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about the child, right? You’re so disheveled. How are you going to see the child later?”

Huo Jinyao looked at Liu Tongjia, and then at Li Qianxue. Finally, his gaze fell on Su Qingsang, who was still asleep. He didn’t fight back and went into the bathroom to change his clothes.

Li Qianxue and Liu Tongjia looked at each other. Both of their eyes were filled with worry.

Theoretically, the child had already been given birth to and she had rested already. Why was she still not awake after an entire day?

Huo Jinyao took a quick shower and came out very quickly. After changing his clothes, he looked more refreshed.

Once he came out, he sat in front of Su Qingsang’s bed again, and his eyes were full of worry.

In the ward, other than Huo Jinyao, there were only two elders, Li Qianxue and Liu Tongjia. Old Master Li and the others spent the entire day with and the rest of the night yesterday. After that, they couldn’t take it anymore and went back to rest.

Sun Huiya looked at Huo Jinyao, sighed, and left.

At night, the elders went to sleep. Huo Jinyao refused to go to sleep, and he refused to let the nurses or aunties take care of Su Qingsang.

He hadn’t seen the child since it was born, and he didn’t want to see it either. He simply stayed with Su Qingsang and refused to leave no matter what.

“Qingsang, don’t you want to wake up and see our babies?”

“Look, you haven’t seen the two babies, even though I haven’t seen them either.”

Su Qingsang passed out not long after the eldest son was born. After the second son was finally born, Su Qingsang completely lost all her strength. She couldn’t wake up.

“So don’t expect me to tell you what the two babies look like. I haven’t seen them either. Do you want to wake up quickly and see them with me?”

“Qingsang, you asked me to be a father. I hope that I can experience all the first times in my life with you every time.”

His eyes were a little red. He didn’t want to sleep. He put his face gently next to Su Qingsang’s arm. He simply watched her sleeping face.

“Honey, I’ll wait for you.”

When Su Qingsang opened her eyes, she felt that her body was soft and she didn’t have any strength at all.

Shee felt as if she had slept for a long time. When she woke up, she needed to recover bit by bit. She saw the sunlight shining in from the ward, and there was snow on the windowsill.

Giving off a sparkling light that was exceptionally beautiful, the sunlight refracted on the snowflakes.

Following the light, she saw the top of his black hair. Huo Jinyao was sleeping beside her bed, and his face was covered with stuble. There were also dark circles under his eyes.

She remembered hearing a lot of things when she was asleep. After she woke up, she didn’t remember them very clearly. She only remembered that Huo Jinyao said that he loved her.

She raised her hand and gently caressed his top of his hair, then moved it toward his face.

Just as her hand touched Huo Jinyao’s face, he grabbed it. He raised his head and stared at her with wide eyes. There was obvious surprise in his eyes.

“You’re awake? Qingsang, you’re awake?”

Su Qingsang wanted to say something, but her voice couldn’t come out. Her throat was so dry. Huo Jinyao poured her a glass of warm water and watched her finish it.

Su Qingsang felt much better. Only then did she see Huo Jinyao’s appearance clearly. It was worse than when he was asleep.

“How ugly,” Su Qingsang complained. She looked at the red, dark circles under his eyes and his face full of stuble. “You’re not handsome anymore.”

“You’re awake. You’re awake.” Huo Jinyao didn’t have the time to respond to her teasing. He could only express his feelings by kissing her palm continuously.

“You’re awake. Qingsang, you’re awake. That’s great. You’re awake.”

“Where’s the baby?” Su Qingsang felt an emptiness in her stomach. Only then did she remember that she had given birth to the baby yesterday. “How’s the baby?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“You fainted after giving birth. I didn’t have time to care for the baby at all.”

Huo Jinyao still couldn’t hide his worry. Su Qingsang stared at him with wide eyes. “You… why are you like this? But, I’ve been sleeping for so long, so you should at least take a look, right?”

“No.” Huo Jinyao was very willful. He held Su Qingsang’s hand tightly, and the expression on his face was uncharacteristically willful. “If you didn’t wake up soon, I was even going to send them away.”

“Huo Jinyao.” Su Qingsang was furious. She glared at Huo Jinyao for a long time, then finally felt a little helpless. “Forget it. Bring the child to me now.”

“They’re in the incubator.” Huo Jinyao wasn’t sure. In fact, he hadn’t paid attention to the children since they were born, since all his attention was on Su Qingsang.

“Are the children okay? Why do they have to stay in the incubator?”

Su Qingsang’s face was full of worry as she heard a voice.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. The children are fine. The eldest brother went back to the nursery yesterday to be observed, and the second child is still in the incubator. Don’t worry, everything is normal. She’s only in the incubator to ensure her safety.”

“Mother?”

Su Qingsang saw that Li Qianxue had arrived at some point in time. She was carrying a large bag in her hand.

Upon seeing that Su Qingsang had woken up, Li Qianxue also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if Su Qingsang continued to sleep, she wouldn’t be able to take it.

“I didn’t expect you to wake up so early. Coincidentally, there’s breakfast here, and there’s also the soup that I asked Auntie to make. Qingsang, you must drink soup after you wake up. Director Sun said that you’ve hurt your vitality. Next, you have to listen to me and take supplements. You should help your body recover.”

“Mom, it’s not like what you said. It’s not about randomly taking supplements.”

“I don’t care. Drink this bowl of chicken soup first.”

“Okay. I’ll drink it.”

Su Qingsang wouldn’t argue with Li Qianxue over such a trivial matter. She thought that she had only slept for one day and didn’t know that she had slept for two days.

She got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she came out, she was told that she had slept for two days. She was stunned.

“That can’t be possible, right? I’ve always felt that my body is very healthy.”

“You’re one to speak. You gave birth on the second day and slept until the fourth day. That’s you.”

Li Qianxue’s words were full of heartache. Su Qingsang stuck out her tongue and sat back down on the bed. She obediently finished the chicken soup.

She was really hungry. After eating a bowl of soup, she felt much more refreshed.

“I want to see the children.”

“I’ll take you there.” Huo Jinyao had just found a wheelchair because he knew that Su Qingsang would definitely want to see the children after she woke up.

There were two children, one in the nursery and the other in the incubator.

Seeing that Su Qingsang had woken up, Sun Huiya, who had come to see her, told her about the situation.

“The older one is fine. The younger one was stuck at the mouth of the uterus for a long time when she was born. Her breathing was a little weak right after she was born, but her vital signs were normal. Don’t worry, it’s fine.”

“Okay. Thank you, Director Sun.”

The eldest baby stayed in the nursery for two days. His facial features were a little more grown out than when he was born. His face was red and he looked very healthy.

“When the eldest baby was born, he weighed 2.8 kilograms. The younger one weighed 2.5 kilograms. The younger one was lighter, but they were very healthy. Qingsang, you’re amazing.”

Su Qingsang looked at the baby and felt her heart soften. “Director Sun, can I take him back to the ward? I want to feed him milk.”

“Of course, you can try to let him drink milk. But you have two here. I don’t think there will be enough milk.”

Su Qingsang smiled. Regardless of whether it was enough or not, she didn’t want to borrow other people’s hands when it came to feeding the baby. She wanted to do it herself.

After looking at the eldest baby, she looked at the youngest baby. The little girl’s skin wasn’t red like that of normal babies, but white and tender. She looked very cute.

Su Qingsang’s heart almost melted when she saw her daughter. It was completely different from seeing her son.

“Jinyao, that’s our daughter.”

“Mhm.” Huo Jinyao saw her too. It was also his first time seeing his daughter. She had a little face and her eyes were tightly shut.

She didn’t have to do anything while she slept there for Huo Jinyao to feel extremely fulfilled.

He bent down and hugged Su Qingsang tightly. “Honey, thank you.”

Only now did he truly feel that he was a father. A son, a daughter, and Su Qingsang. They would be his entire world now and in the future.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Su Qingsang smiled. She glanced at Sun Huiya. “Will she be under observation for a long time?”

“No need. She can leave the incubator tomorrow.”

Sun Huiya smiled and said, “Your daughter is like you. She’s also very strong.”

Su Qingsang smiled until her eyes narrowed. Her body hadn’t fully recovered yet, so Sun Huiya told her to go back and rest first. As for interacting with the child, there was no rush. There would always be another chance.

Li Qianxue had already seen her grandson yesterday, but now that she saw him again, she couldn’t help but want to hug him.

“He’s so good-looking. He looks like Huo Jinyao was when he was young.” Liu Tongjia looked at the child from the side. When he grew up a little, his facial features would become even more obvious.

“I think his eyebrows and eyes look a little like Qingsang’s.”
