Eating is a simple thing for a normal person, but for a drug addict, it is a disguised torture. Yu Xiao ate a few bites and vomited everything he had eaten.
"Kang Shaonan, I really can't eat it..." She also wanted to force it in, but her stomach didn't listen to her at all. The fish that she usually loved the most was harder to swallow than poison. She looked at Kang Shaonan shaking his head, and tears kept rolling down: "I'm sorry, I can't do it... I really can't do it..."
"It's okay, we'll take it slow! You take a rest first!" Kang Shaonan cleaned up the meal, helped his wife lie down on the bed, watched Yu Xiao slowly close her eyes, and then left the room.
Since Yu Xiao entered the ward, Shen Yimo has been waiting outside the ward. Because Ming Yao also had surgery in this hospital, Yu Xiao's ward was arranged next to Ming Yao's ward. Seeing Kang Shaonan coming out, Shen Yimo and Ming Yusong immediately stared at him nervously.
"How's Xiaoxiao?" Ming Yusong was the one who felt the most pain. One of his two daughters had just had surgery, and the other was addicted to drugs. If it weren't for his two sons-in-law, he didn't know if he could hold on.
"Dad, Xiaoxiao is still very fragile now. Apart from her physical problems, the most important thing is that she has no confidence at all. Can you go back and ask your parents-in-law to bring Yangyang and Xiaoxiao over? I want Xiaoxiao to see the children!" After hearing what his wife said, Kang Shaonan realized that if he wanted to help his wife, spiritual encouragement was the most important thing. If she didn't have a determination to overcome her drug addiction, all her efforts might end up in vain.
"Okay! I'll go right away! You stay with Xiaoxiao well!" Ming Yusong nodded, turned around and walked quickly towards the elevator.
Watching his father-in-law leave, Kang Shaonan told Shen Yimo something and immediately returned to the ward. Yangyang and Xiaoxiao were quickly taken to Yu Xiao's ward by Ren Zhiping and Yu Jiahou. Before meeting anyone other than himself, Kang Shaonan specially washed Yu Xiao. She couldn't bear a small blow now, so he had to be extra careful.
Knowing that her son and daughter were going to be admitted to the ward, as well as her parents, Yu Xiao was extremely nervous. Although she did not take drugs on her own initiative, as far as she could remember, anyone who got involved in such drugs was despised. Perhaps it was this mentality that caused her to develop a strong sense of inferiority deep in her heart.
"Kang Shaonan, will they think I've embarrassed them?" Yu Xiao held Kang Shaonan's hand tightly, her heart pounding with nervousness.
"Baby, they all love you very much. No one would have such an idea. They just hope you can get better soon. Don't be afraid!" Kang Shaonan patted his wife's hand, walked to the door and opened it, took his daughter Xiaoxiao from his father-in-law's hands, and walked into the room.
The little one hadn't seen her father for a long time. When she saw herself in her father's arms, she giggled happily. When Kang Shaonan sat down beside his wife's bed with his daughter in his arms, Xiaoxiao looked around the unfamiliar room and soon saw her mother. She used to see her mother every day, but she didn't know where her mother had gone these days. Now when she saw her mother's face, Xiaoxiao stretched out her little hands to her mother's arms and babbled to her mother, "Mom... Mom..."
Listening to her daughter's lovely cry and looking at her tender little face, Yu Xiao's tears suddenly welled up. She reached out and took her daughter from Kang Shaonan's hands and hugged her tightly in her arms: "Xiaoxiao... my good daughter..."
“Mah… Ma…” Xiaoxiao smiled happily with her little mouth wide open, revealing a few white milk teeth.
"Xiaoxiao...she can call me mommy..." Yu Xiao was surprised and happy while holding her daughter, feeling extremely sad.
"Yes, I heard from mom that she couldn't see you these days, and she called mom every day. And Yangyang, she also calls mom. Although these two little guys don't understand anything, they really miss you." Kang Shaonan looked at his wife hugging their daughter tightly, and smiled with relief.
The door of the ward was pushed open. Before Yu Xiao looked up, she heard her son's crying. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw her son Yangyang struggling in his grandmother's arms with his hands stretched out, shouting, "Numb...Numb..."
Seeing her grandson's anxious look, Ren Zhiping immediately sent Yangyang to her daughter Yu Xiao's arms. As soon as Yangyang entered her mother's arms, he giggled like his sister. Yu Xiao was so excited that she kissed her son and daughter, tears streaming down her face.
Ming Yusong stood beside the bed, watching his daughter, who looked tired and haggard despite having washed herself clean. He walked to the other side and sat down, looking at his daughter and comforting her: "Xiaoxiao, for Yangyang and Xiaoxiao, you can't just give up. You are their hope. Without you, our family will never be happy. We are all cheering you on from outside. You must hold on! Never give up! Dad knows you can do it!"
Shen Yimo listened to his father-in-law's words and nodded at Yu Xiao: "Yes, Xiaoxiao, Yaoyao has finished the operation. Although it will take a few days for her to regain her sight, she told me that when she opens her eyes, the person she wants to see most is you! Because you have been separated for twenty-one years, she has no idea what her sister looks like. She can't come to see you now, but she asked me to bring you a message. She wants you to cheer up!"
"Xiaoxiao, our whole family is rooting for you! You can do it! My daughter is the best!" Ren Zhiping looked at her daughter and encouraged.
"Dad... Mom... you guys..." Yu Xiao hugged her son and tears fell again.
The door of the room was pushed open again, and everyone looked towards the door at the same time, and saw Grandpa Kang walking in with a cane, and Kang Shaodong followed his grandfather in.
“Grandpa…” Yu Xiao looked at Grandpa Kang getting closer and closer excitedly.
"Xiaoxiao, your sister Shaoxi saved your life because she wanted you to live well! Not only for yourself, but also for her! If you give up now, her sacrifice will be meaningless. Grandpa knows that you are a brave child. Don't let Aunt Yun laugh at us after she dies! You have to defeat her with facts! Now you are not only fighting the devil in your body, but also fighting Aunt Yun. If you give up, it will be exactly what Aunt Yun expects. Child, be strong! Nothing is impossible in this world! Do you understand?"
Listening to everyone's words, Yu Xiao was choked up and couldn't speak. Facing so many relatives, what else could she say? She handed her son in her arms to his adoptive parents, looked at Kang Shaonan and said, "Kang Shaonan, I want to have lunch..."
"Okay! I'll get it right away!" Kang Shaonan immediately became energetic after hearing his wife's words and turned around to prepare lunch.
Because they were worried about disturbing Yu Xiao, everyone left the room when Kang Shaonan rearranged the food.
The words of her relatives just now did not increase Yu Xiao's appetite. Looking at the food in front of her, her stomach still retched, even more uncomfortable than before. But she thought about her son and daughter, her elderly father, Mr. Kang and her adoptive parents, her brother-in-law Shen Yimo, and her sister who had not seen the light of day, so she had to bite her teeth and eat.
"Xiaoxiao, eat as much as you can. You have to take your time with this kind of thing. It's a victory if you can eat another bite now, do you understand?" Seeing her painful expression, Kang Shaonan really wished that he was the one addicted to drugs.
"..." Yu Xiao nodded silently. After taking two bites, she couldn't eat any more. She felt nauseous. If she hadn't stopped in time, she would have vomited the two bites of food she had taken.
Although it was just two bites, Kang Shaonan was excited as if he saw hope. After cleaning up the table, he helped his wife lie down again. Because of the drug addiction attack in the morning, Yu Xiao had consumed a lot of physical strength and couldn't eat anything, so she was very weak at the moment. But Yu Xiao had been lying down for less than half an hour when she began to feel uncomfortable again.
"Hubby, it's coming again..." Yu Xiao looked at Kang Shaonan helplessly, with unspeakable fear and anxiety in her eyes. Knowing that she couldn't control her body, she looked at Kang Shaonan pleadingly and said, "Can you find a rope to tie me up?" She was really afraid that she would do something even more horrible. The injuries on Kang Shaonan's body had already made her feel very guilty.
"Xiaoxiao, it's okay! I'm here with you!" Kang Shaonan held his wife's hand tightly. He didn't need to find a rope because the doctor had already prepared it for him. But he really couldn't do it. For him, the physical injuries were not even one ten-thousandth of his wife's pain. The pain that pierced his heart and bones was simply unbearable for ordinary people.
"No... Kang... I feel so uncomfortable..." Her body felt like it had fallen into a bottomless abyss. Boundless fear and unspeakable pain overwhelmed Yu Xiao. She felt her body was about to go out of control again. She turned her head and bit her wrist hard.
Bright red blood flowed down her white teeth. She was so strong at that moment, but even though her teeth were deeply embedded in her flesh, she could not feel the pain in her wrist. She was shivering with cold, and then burning fiercely. Her body was shaking violently under the quilt, and layers of sweat came out of her pores. She was sweating profusely, but she was shivering with cold all over. The ceiling became more and more blurred in her vision, and her breathing became more and more rapid. Her mind was blank, and the teeth biting her wrist loosened at this time. She began to tear off her clothes like crazy, and turned over to get off the bed, but she didn't know what stopped her. She turned her head and bit the "thing" hard. A strong smell of blood instantly filled the whole room, but she could not see or hear anything. In a daze, she felt her body rise into the air, and then fell into a warm embrace. Then she was held tightly by a pair of strong arms. She tried her best but still couldn't break free from the iron arms. Warm liquid fell from the top of her head, but she felt nothing. (To be continued)
