To seduce her

Shen Yaochu didn't pay too much attention to this minor discomfort and continued to enjoy this rare parent-child reading experience with the children.

However, as time went on, Shen Yaochu's discomfort became more and more intense.

She began to feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and some difficulty breathing.

Knowing that her body was not in a healthy state, Shen Yaochu couldn't help but start to worry whether her excitement was affecting her body.

Shen Yaochu pursed her lips. She didn't want this worry to affect the children's mood, but she had promised the doctor and Gao Yuchuan that if they felt any discomfort, they would rush back to the hospital.

Shen Yaochu thought for a moment, finished reading the picture book in her hand to BoBo and CiCi, patted their heads, and said softly: "Mom is going to the bathroom, can you guys read it by yourselves for a while?"

Shen Yaochu's gentleness just now seemed to restore their sense of security. The two children nodded and continued to immerse themselves in the world of picture books: "Okay."

Shen Yaochu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

She carefully examined her body and found nothing obviously abnormal.

However, that feeling of discomfort still existed, which made Shen Yaochu feel very troubled.

Shen Yaochu poured a glass of warm water. The sound of flowing water was particularly clear in the quiet space. Only occasionally could the laughter of children be heard coming from the living room in the distance.

She leaned on the table and slowly drank the warm water in the cup, hoping to relieve the discomfort in her head.

Shen Yaochu stared at the faucet in front of him with empty eyes and fell into deep thought.

Her brows were furrowed as she thought hard, her eyes revealing a deep confusion and uneasiness.

She had promised the doctor and Gao Yuchuan that she would return to the nursing home if she felt any discomfort, but she was more afraid of disappointing her children again.

The children's shrill cries just now echoed again and again in Shen Yaochu's mind.

They were afraid that their mother would leave again when they woke up, and that their mother would never come back...

All of this made Shen Yaochu feel conflicted.

She didn't want them to see her vulnerable side, didn't want them to bear the pressure of her illness, and didn't want to disappoint them...

Shen Yaochu's fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the cup, as if looking for a little comfort.

At this moment, Gao Yuchuan's concerned voice came from behind: "What's wrong? You look like you have a lot on your mind."

Shen Yaochu turned around and faced Gao Yuchuan's face, which had cold lines but a gentle expression.

He stared at her and slowly walked towards her. His eyes were full of worry and concern, which made Shen Yaochu a little dazed for a moment.

Shen Yaochu subconsciously looked down at the cup in her hand. The water in the cup was shaking slightly because of her movements.

Shen Yaochu pursed her lips, her eyes flickering: "I..."

She was conflicted. She wanted to hide her discomfort so as not to worry Gao Yuchuan and disappoint the children, but... Shen Yaochu was more worried that her physical condition would worsen.

Shen Yao didn't dare to make a decision at first, and shook her head subconsciously: "I just feel a little guilty towards BoBo and CiCi. They are so young, but I have been away from home for such a long time and cannot accompany them."

Gao Yuchuan's tense expression finally relaxed at this moment: "Don't worry, this is not your fault. What you need now is rest and recuperation. It is safest to stay in a sanatorium."

Shen Yaochu lowered his head and sighed slowly, still not daring to tell his real reason.

Gao Yuchuan saw her sighing and thought she was immersed in self-blame, so he comforted her: "Although BoBo and CiCi are young, they are both sensible children. These are the children you taught, you should know it very well, right?"

Shen Yaochu was startled and looked up at Gao Yuchuan. There was a smile in his eyes, and also in hers.

"They know that you haven't been home for so long because of health reasons. They won't blame you." Gao Yuchuan paused for a moment and said, "Their current insecurity comes from not knowing when you will be able to come home. When you really come back, their emotions will dissipate."

Shen Yaochu nodded slowly: "Hmm..."

"Okay, if you have time to blame yourself here, you might as well spend more time with them." Gao Yuchuan took Shen Yaochu's hand and said, "Come on, I'm done with work, let's spend time with them together."

Feeling the warmth of Gao Yuchuan's palm, Shen Yaochu suddenly reached out and pulled him.

Gao Yuchuan was forced to stop and looked back at her in confusion.

Shen Yaochu blinked, with determination in her eyes, and said softly: "Actually, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Gao Yuchuan was startled and instantly became nervous.

He leaned forward, held Shen Yaochu's hands with both hands, and looked at her at eye level, looking at her with worry in his eyes: "What's wrong?"

"I feel dizzy and a little chest tight." Shen Yaochu said with some embarrassment: "I don't know if it's because I got a little excited when I saw the children happy and crying."

Shen Yaochu lowered his head and sighed self-reproachfully: "I should have controlled my emotions. The doctor has already told me..."

Seeing the helplessness and self-blame emanating from Shen Yaochu, Gao Yuchuan stared at her, his eyes full of heartache and concern.

"You did a great job. It's inevitable to be emotional when you go home to see your children." Gao Yuchuan gently rubbed the back of Shen Yaochu's hand with his thumbs, and his rough fingertips wanted to bring more comfort to Shen Yaochu: "How do you feel now? Are you uncomfortable?"

"Not really. I can actually bear it." Shen Yaochu pursed her lips: "But I promised you and the doctor that if I feel uncomfortable, I will tell you."

Shen Yaochu looked at Gao Yuchuan and didn't say anything else.

What she feared even more was that she had once again delayed her treatment for what she considered to be "good for them."

What Shen Yaochu is now very clear about is that the most important thing for her is to survive.

In this way, her children will not always be like they are today, sad and crying every day thinking that their mother will never come back.

That is a scene that no mother can accept.

Gao Yuchuan's eyes flashed with surprise: "I said, you did a great job."

Gao Yuchuan took her hand and led her out: "Since you are not feeling well, let's go back to the sanatorium for a physical check-up."

Hearing this, Shen Yaochu's eyes flashed with hesitation: "But..."

She lowered her head and stopped: "But I'm afraid the children will be sad. They are very happy that I came back today, and I promised to accompany them today. If I leave now, they will definitely be very sad."

Gao Yuchuan pulled Shen Yaochu in his arms, patting her back gently: "But if we don't go back to the sanatorium, what if something happens to your body?"
