Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, William deliberately provoked him in front of my second uncle. Although it sounded harsh, it gave me a chance. After he left, I hugged my second uncle and cried my heart out, explaining that I was frightened into giving birth prematurely just to see him, and his release from the mental hospital had nothing to do with me. My second uncle might relax, and Chen Yining happened to arrive, which helped me even more.

"I should have told you earlier, but I thought you were still pregnant, so I didn't dare tell you. I didn't expect you to run into him today..." Chen Yining was standing at the door. From her frosted face, I could tell that she had been worried about William's affairs for a long time. No wonder she had been avoiding me in recent days and only asked Lu Zeyun to deal with it. I thought she was really busy with the Chen family's return to China, but it turned out that she was afraid that I would see it.

I held my chest and pushed myself up to sit up: "How long has he been out?"

"It's been a while, maybe one or two months." Chen Yining said, "But I'm not sure. I've been in Linjiang and don't have time to watch him every day. Maybe it's earlier, but I don't know."

"I sent him in, and he was pregnant for only six months. He didn't suffer half as much as I did..." I coughed and sneered. My second uncle hugged me, but he kept glancing at Chen Yining, waiting for the next words. I naturally didn't want to disappoint him. After I calmed down, I asked, "What's wrong with William's legs? Why can't he stand up?"

Lu Zeyun shook his head and said, "It wasn't us. There are rumors that he used the fire hook from the stove to pierce his thigh and burned himself. He later came to see me. His bones and nerves were damaged and he can't recover. I don't think it was a provocation, but rather it was like he came to tell us that he was in trouble and he was useless. It was an apology."

"Apologize? Xie Ge and my father are in heaven, is that what they need an apology?" I covered my mouth and gasped as I spoke loudly. I couldn't stop coughing, but the play had to be finished: "He wants to use his two legs to exchange for our two lives, he's dreaming! I paid for everything I have, and he wants to write it off so easily!"

I burst into tears, and my second uncle's attention was drawn back. He tried to comfort me but it didn't work. Chen Yining and the others were standing there awkwardly, and they couldn't get a word out after trying to persuade him several times. My second uncle was so anxious that he felt dizzy and almost fell off the bed. Chen Yining was quick and hurried to hold him up. I also jumped up from the bed and held him from behind and started crying again.

"Dad, things will always turn around. Don't let yourself get into trouble first, otherwise William will be even more proud." Chen Yining sighed. It was easy to say but her expression was hard to change. She had been upset for a month or two and she felt like she had aged ten years.

Zhou Zhi and Yaya came in crying. It was late at night and mom and dad had not returned yet. Chen Yining was in a dilemma. She always felt that it was her negligence to let William go. She felt sorry for me, but she was also worried about her child. Second uncle heard the crying and knew that he would be well soon. Zhou Zhi was his grandson. He could not say it on the surface, but he knew it in his heart. He quickly patted Chen Yining's hand on his shoulder.

"The children are still young and cannot leave you. You take care of them. Shishi, I'm here. Oh, by the way, Zeyun, thank you so much for finding an expert to help Shishi give birth to the baby. Please also thank Dr. Rong Yu for me. Please let her accept the gifts that Qi Cheng brought. They are my thoughts for the children."

Lu Zeyun was not very happy about Chen Yining's intimate "Dad" just now, but fortunately he was able to consider the overall situation at this time and bowed slightly to his second uncle: "Originally, according to the hospital rules, he should not be admitted, but our two families have a good relationship, so I will just regard it as your reward to the younger generation, and I will pass it on to Doctor Rong later."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Uncle nodded.

Lu Zeyun was not done with that. He didn't hug Yaya when his own daughter was in front of him, but instead held Zhou Zhi in his arms to coax him. Zhou Zhi cried and called him daddy, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He would not be happy until his second uncle felt uncomfortable. He let Chen Yining hold Yaya and planned to go back. Before leaving, he turned around to say hello to his second uncle, put his arm around Chen Yining's waist and said that he would take Yining home.

I didn't care whether they were jealous or not, it just got in the way of my acting, but I almost lost all my emotions and had to think about sad things, so when my second uncle gave him a secret look and looked at me, I burst into tears and kept muttering to myself.

"What should I do? What should I do, Second Uncle? I have spent all my efforts on this matter... I can't do it anymore if William is on guard against me. I killed Liang Yun, killed Nan Xing, and finally made Jiang Yinan die without a complete body. He will avenge me. Today is just the beginning. I was really scared when I entered the operating room, and I was scared when I came out. It doesn't matter whether I live or not, but now the baby is born prematurely, and my daughter is also implicated by me. She looks sick and listless. If she grows up to be like me, I really can't live..."

I just leaned on my second uncle's shoulder and cried like rain, and my second uncle just coaxed me. Zhizhi and Jiang Chulan were coaxing the child to sleep beside me without saying a word. The only sound in the whole ward was my crying, but no one noticed when my brother came back from Linjiang, and how long he stood in front of the ward door. He was not the most important thing, but his sister-in-law behind him, holding her stomach, and was anxious about my affairs. Her face turned pale and she started to scream in pain. When I heard the sound and looked up, my brother had already fallen down without holding her. She sat on the ground crying weakly, and the ground was covered with a faint white water.

"Sister-in-law!" I suddenly thought of her. No matter what, I didn't think about what had happened to involve her. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. I just walked through it, and even though my pregnancy was not too bad, I still felt worse than death. But it was not easy for my sister-in-law to be pregnant with this baby. Uncle Hou had said that she would give birth prematurely, but I didn't expect it to be today.

William scared me and caused me to give birth prematurely. I complained about myself and caused my sister-in-law to worry about my water breaking. What day is today?

My second uncle pushed me back and told Zhizhi to take care of me. He rushed over to help his brother call a doctor. A group of people in white coats came over and dragged the man away. My child also started crying. Fortunately, Zhizhi had learned before and knew how to hold and comfort a child. Jiang Chulan was like holding a bomb. No, it was even worse than holding a bomb!

I couldn't leave. In fact, even if the baby didn't cry, it was very difficult for me to stand up after giving birth. I had to wait in the ward. After a short period of panic, I gradually calmed down and coaxed the baby to sleep again. Jiang Chulan went out and brought the crib and six-month nanny that had been prepared earlier. There were fewer people, far less than when Yangyang was there, but now we were in Huangyang, and it was good enough to be able to call these few over in an emergency. They were assigned to me by my brother. The rest of the people had to be kept for my sister-in-law. Who knew when my sister-in-law would give birth?

After a long time of struggling, the patient was still in the delivery room. Only then did she send me a message telling me that the cervix was two fingers dilated and that I could have an epidural, but theoretically three fingers was still recommended. My sister-in-law said she could still bear it and asked me not to worry about her. She said Rong Yu said her delivery was normal, it just would take some time. After a while, my brother took the time to come over and take a look at me, with a doctor following behind to observe my condition.

My wife and sister gave birth to their babies less than three hours apart. Neither of them could let go and both wanted to take care of the baby. I guess my brother's little heart is about to burst from the negative pressure today.

"Were you particularly scared when you entered the operating room? It's all my fault. If I had known you would be in trouble, I should have come to watch over you in advance... Where is He Qingyun? Didn't I tell him to stay with him? Why did he leave you here alone?"

After my brother finished speaking, Zhizhi, who was holding the child next to him, silently raised his hand and said, "Is it me who is not a human being or is it the child who is not a human being..."

My brother rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't say you two."

I quickly pulled down my brother's hand that was about to be raised to the sky: "Brother, don't worry, there are enough people guarding me. Didn't you call a few more people? I asked Brother Qingyun to go out and help me watch William leave Huangyang. I wouldn't worry if it was someone else."

"That's true. What could be more dangerous than William..." My brother sighed, and after a while he touched my head again: "Are you exhausted? It's a pity that I can't watch you here. Your sister-in-law is still waiting for the cervix to be opened. She can't stand the pain. I have to go and accompany her. It's a pity that there are few people to take care of you."

I chuckled, "Brother, the last thing a family like ours lacks is people, right? We're still short of people to take care of. I have two crying children, but Zhizhi and I can handle it. My two babies are very hardworking. They were born in about 40 minutes after I was pushed into the operating room. I had enough energy to sleep, and you even sent me a confinement nanny."

"Forty minutes is called premature labor! Do you think premature labor is a good thing?" My brother tapped my head.

"Precipitous labor is a problem before and during childbirth. I've already given birth..."

"Just tell me if you felt any pain when you gave birth and if you felt pitiful."

"It hurts, it's pitiful."

My brother put his hands on his hips and criticized me. I really began to suspect that he had gradually forgotten that I was the one who gave birth to the baby. I said it was just to comfort him...

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. William has left. Do you want to sleep for a while?" My brother sighed again.

Zhizhi also agreed: "You go to sleep, the confinement nanny and I will take care of the child. We are in the next ward. If you need anything, just let me know."

Although I was very nervous and knew I couldn't sleep, I agreed to it in order to reassure my brother. Unfortunately, the doctor interrupted me after he finished examining me. He quickly came forward and waved his hand in front of my eyes: "No, you can't sleep! I see that you are still energetic. It's been two hours since you gave birth. I suggest you get out of bed and do some simple exercises to help expel the lochia!"

My brother suddenly realized: "Oh, right!" Then he pulled me out of the bed with great force: "Get up! I remembered what I read before. It's easy to get blood clots if you stay in bed all the time!"

Zhizhi: "That's not good! We said in class that it's recommended to do some simple exercises within four hours after giving birth. It's already been three hours, huh?"

My brother: "It's been three hours?! Get out of bed now!"

Me: Hmm? Where is the warm scene just now?

Damn it, I almost forgot about the lochia discharge...

It was not until Jiang Chulan came in and said that my sister-in-law was three fingers dilated and could have an epidural that she left and started scolding my brother for making her suffer when she saw the epidural needle that everything became quiet. Before I could even get out of bed, Zhizhi wanted to come and help me, but I don’t know what happened, my second daughter just depended on her uncle. She started crying as soon as she was put in the confinement nanny’s arms, and stopped crying as soon as she was brought back, so I had no choice but to just hold her like that.

"She likes you." I smiled bitterly and gently pushed Zhizhi's hand: "So I'm giving it to you. From now on, you are her godfather."

"Well, I still prefer her dad to call me godfather, but it's a pity that the vixen is gone..." Zhizhi said very melancholy, reaching out to touch the tip of the kid's nose. Seeing that I looked a little lonely, he realized that something was wrong and patted me on the back: "The kid is clingy, but you are not clingy, right? Otherwise, let the confinement nanny help you walk, but don't go too far, just walk around in this ward."

"No, put the baby down and take the confinement nanny to the next room. Chengcheng will be here soon, right? I have something else to tell him, so I'll leave now. No one except Chengcheng is allowed to come in later. I'm going to rest."

"What about two children? Can you take care of them after just giving birth?" Zhizhi was a little worried.

I said you don’t understand this, and took my second daughter from his hands. The child didn’t cry, and even slept more soundly. I was kidding. You know, it really depends on who the child prefers to be the father or uncle, but I am different. I am her biological mother! I am the must-have!

"Okay, go ahead. You should take a rest too. Let Jiang Chulan take a few strong men to guard the door. When he gets tired, you can take over his shift. I'm feeling uneasy, so I need sufficient firepower. Also, in addition to the door, there are a few people standing downstairs to watch the windows for me. No one except Lu Zeyun's people is allowed to enter the doctor's side." I waved my hand.

Zhizhi was even more surprised. As if afraid of surveillance or listening equipment, he leaned over and whispered in my ear: "William left, didn't he? I heard that what he said didn't sound false. If he really wanted to get rid of you, he should have done it when he was in Jingyu Garden."

"I'm not afraid of William, I'm worried. I really listened to what he said. If my sister-in-law and I were due a few days apart, it would be fine. I could still be prepared. I would go to the delivery room right after my sister-in-law gave birth. It would be fine if I gave birth to a son, but if it was also a girl, my daughter would be the eldest daughter, and my second uncle's pity for me would disappear immediately." I looked at Zhizhi and said, "You know, babies are the most vulnerable at this age. I gave birth prematurely and urgently, so it's understandable if something happened to the child."

"Not really...my brother isn't far away, and William just left. How can he be so blatant?" Zhizhi looked at the door, his tone a little hesitant, but obviously inclined to affirm.

I held the child and rocked her gently, reaching out to touch her tender little face. "It's better to be prepared. After all, who can say for sure about certain things? There are only a few people in the second house who protect me. The two young masters and my brother are worried about my sister-in-law giving birth. Brother Qingyun was just sent out. You know, I didn't ask him to go."

"It's not you!" Zhizhi's eyes widened immediately. Seeing that I was sitting very calmly, he knew it was true. He took a deep breath and nodded after a long time: "Yes, this is still in Huangyang. Even if my brother is still here, Linjiang may be able to stop him, but this is someone else's territory. I will ask someone to come in and check if there are any surveillance equipment. Wait a little longer. When the young master comes, our eldest house will not be short of people."
