Chapter 481 (1/2)
The days passed like this for another half a month. Bai Feiyun gradually decreased the amount of painkillers he used so she slowly started to feel the pain coming from her body. It was only now that she came to realize how severely injured she was. It had already been so long, but she would feel faint chest pain just from breathing.
So when the baby kicked her, it hurt to the point her entire body would become covered with cold sweat.
”Xiao Bai…” When it became painful, she asked Bai Feiyun to give her painkillers again.
However, since Bai Feiyun had already decided to gradually decrease the dosage of the painkillers, there was no way he would give her any more. ”It's not good to use that drug too much. I had only used it since I was worried that you wouldn't be able to endure the pain of the first few days. However, no matter what, you can't use it again.”
Bai Feiyun's heart also ached when he saw her in pain, so the next day, he brought the chair he said he'd make to Tang Doudou's bed. ”I'll take you to look around.”
When Tang Doudou looked over and saw that he was pushing a wooden wheelchair, she immediately answered happily, ”Alright!”
This place was an island. Although there was also a forest on this island, a wheelchair didn't do well in the forest, so Bai Feiyun took her over to the shore. As the slightly moist salty wind brushed past, Tang Doudou felt like some of the pain that came from her entire body was swept away.
”Do you feel a bit better?” asked Bai Feiyun in faint concern.
Tang Doudou closed her eyes, feeling comfortable. ”Yes.”
”You're recovering very quickly.”
”Then when will I be able to fully recover?” Since Bai Feiyun had brought up her condition, Tang Doudou hastily asked for more information.
Bai Feiyun paused for a moment. ”The shortest is half a year, the longest is three years.”
That long?
Tang Doudou looked towards the vast ocean in shock. Then when would she be able to get back?
She still had so many things that she needed to do.
”Do you feel like it's too long?” asked Bai Feiyun.
Was it long?
For someone that fell down a cliff, even with modern technology and medicine, most people wouldn't be able to recover that quickly. It would often take several years to fully recover. She was already very satisfied with this situation.
But what about the child?
The child would probably be born soon. Could it be that she had to give birth on a sickbed?
Bai Feiyun seemed to be the only other person on the island. Did that mean that he'd have to help with the childbirth?
Time passed really quickly. Although the island was quiet to the point it was a little dull, Tang Doudou didn't feel depressed at all since Bai Feiyun would visit every day to talk with her. Despite being a such a serious person, he would joke with her and tell her about interesting stories and rumors so that she wouldn't feel so bored.
He would also bring interesting new things over for her to play with.
However, after she tore open an injury on her abdomen from laughing, Bai Feiyun didn't bring any hilarious things to her again. Instead, he started raising some small fish and shrimp in the house and a sea turtle that she had encountered when she went out one time.
She had named the turtle Hai Guai (Sea Monster) and would stare at Hai Guai whenever she had nothing to do. She found it quite amusing how it'd looked around blankly, then attempt futile jailbreak.
On this island, Tang Doudou seemed experience the most content months she had since she had come to this world.
This particular day, it was extremely windy. The windchime that they had made from shells they got from the beach was damaged by the violent wind. As Bai Feiyun picked up those shell pieces, he looked towards Tang Doudou worriedly. ”It looks like there's going to be a storm. We should head to the cliff inside the forest to find shelter.”
Although Tang Doudou didn't have bandages wrapped around her entire body anymore, she still couldn't move and could only make small motions like turning her head.
So she turned her head and replied, ”Alright.”
This wasn't the first storm since they had come to the island. Storms like this would occur pretty much once every couple days. However, they had never been as fierce as this one seemed to be. The whooshing of the wind could be heard from far away and the sound of the waves colliding against the rock cliffs was extremely loud.
Bai Feiyun went to collect necessities so Tang Doudou was left to watch the rumbling storm clouds. A feeling of unease gradually crept up her heart.
Along with this unease, she suddenly felt an unbearable sharp pain come from her abdomen which made her vision fill with black spots. ”X-xiao Bai…”
She cried out weakly. The pain was so intense that she didn't have the strength to shout.
The sound of the wind and waves outside were enormous. Her slight voice was completely drowned out, so Bai Feiyun naturally didn't hear.
However, the pain coming from her belly was gradually increasing. Even though she had never experienced this before, she still understood that this meant the child was about to be born!
The moment this thought occurred to her, she was so alarmed that she couldn't calm back down. They all said that given birth was like fighting over life with the king of hell. The slightest mistake and both lives would be gone.
Tang Doudou endured the pain as she picked up a medicinal bowl and smashed it on the ground. However, she used too much power and ended up falling from the chair to the ground. It hurt so much that her vision went black. Following that, she faintly was able to see a figure rush in. She opened her mouth and said weakly, ”Xiao Bai! Save me!”
Bai Feiyun lifted Tang Doudou up and checked her pulse. His face immediately went white. This child's timing was seriously too coincidental!
