691 A Surprise Arrival - Part 10 (1/2)

Saturday continued …

Around half an hour later, Hou Yi and Anna came out of the room, and Hou Yi asked ”Can you make arrangements for Aaron please.  Please ask the funeral director to do nothing for a few days as we need to work out what is to happen.”

He continued to push Anna towards her room, where two waiting nurses asked ”Madam Hou, would you like to bathe?”

With Anna's nod, they took her into the en-suite while Hou Yi sat down.  Rosemary walked in and asked, ”Are you alright Yi?”

”I have to be.  Anna needs me.”

”That is not the answer to my question.  Are you alright?”

”Rosemary, we just lost a child we were so looking forward to have in our lives.  What do you think?” Hou Yi paused and said ”And before you ask, I have a friend who is a psychologist.  I will get her to help us put in place counselling.”

”You are sure?”

”Absolutely.” Hou Yi paused, knowing that they had asked so much of Rosemary, and to help them out she had left her husband and children in Australia ”Can you tell your family what happened?”

”I will.  But Yi, I need to head home soon.  Anna will need her life to bet back to as normal as it can be.  If everything is fine, I think Tuesday will be the right day for that.  Can you arrange a flight back for me?”

”I will but promise that you talk to Anna firstly.  She needs to understand your reasons.”

Rosemary, responded ”I will, but make that call.”

Hou Yi nodded and wandered off pulling out his phone and started to make some calls.
