After understanding his intention, the doctor immediately came over and gently said to Mengmeng, "Miss Luo, Young Master Jiang, the baby still needs further treatment, so please step out for now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yibai immediately patted Mengmeng’s shoulder, "Let’s go, let’s not disturb the doctor treating Sanbao."
"Mhm! Mhm!" Mengmeng followed him, sobbing as they left.
Once they were outside, perhaps due to not seeing the scene anymore, Mengmeng’s mood finally began to settle down a bit.
Jiang Yibai looked at her with eyes swollen from crying, his heart aching, "Are you hungry? I can have someone send over some food."
"I’m not hungry." Luo Mengmeng quickly shook her head.
Her heart was so full with worry she simply couldn’t eat anything.
"You haven’t eaten anything all day," Jiang Yibai couldn’t help but frown with a tone of pleading in his voice, "Anyway, could you eat a little, please?"
Luo Mengmeng couldn’t really refuse and had to agree, "Okay, I’ll try to eat, thank you."
Although Jiang Yibai really didn’t like hearing the words "thank you" from her mouth, as long as she was willing to eat, she could say thanks.
When Jiang Yibai asked the maid to bring up the food, he added, "Remember to bring some ice cubes as well."
"Certainly, young master." The servant responded and left.
Mengmeng looked at him, somewhat puzzled, "What do we need the ice cubes for?"
"Isn’t it because someone’s eyes are all red and swollen from crying?" Jiang Yibai raised an eyebrow, spreading his hands.
Luo Mengmeng quickly realized that the "someone" he referred to was herself, and she felt embarrassed.
The ice cubes were brought over swiftly.
After Jiang Yibai wrapped a few cubes in a cloth, he walked over to Mengmeng with long strides.
Mengmeng knew he wanted to apply the ice to her eyes himself, so she quickly shook her head, "That, I can do it myself."
"I’ll help you." As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yibai placed the ice cubes over her eyes with his own hands.
Mengmeng had no choice but to instinctively close her eyes.
A cool sensation instantly spread from her eyelids throughout her body.
His fingers gently massaged her swollen red eyes, over and over again.
Soon, Mengmeng felt that her eyes didn’t seem as sore and painful as before, probably because the swelling had mostly subsided.
She said, "Jiang Yibai, there’s no need to continue, it’s almost gone."
"Really?" At her words, Jiang Yibai immediately stopped and looked down at her eyes.
Indeed, the swelling had mostly gone down.
How come it was so quick...
He had actually hoped to massage a little longer.
Although he felt a slight sense of loss within, he didn’t show it on the surface and instead returned to his own seat very gentlemanly, beckoning her to eat.
"Let’s eat, it’s all the food you like the most."
Jiang Yibai said with a smile, his eyes filled with anticipation, like a child waiting for a reward from a parent.
Luo Mengmeng glanced at the dining table.
Yes, it was all her favorites.
But she really didn’t have much of an appetite.
However, seeing Jiang Yibai’s expectant look, she forced herself to pick up the bowl and chopsticks and start eating.
"Even if you can’t eat much, have a little, otherwise what will happen to Sanbao if your health fails?" Jiang Yibai said as he served her food.
In fact, he could tell she wasn’t hungry, but how could she not eat!
"I know." Mengmeng shoveled food into her mouth as her eyes filled with tears once more.
Watching her eat so painfully also made Jiang Yibai’s heart ache.
