Chapter 893: Chapter 893: It Hurts Me to See Her in Pain Chapter 893: Chapter 893: It Hurts Me to See Her in Pain After their sweet moment together, they finished a pot of tea as well.
Lu Yichen brought out the bottles from the room, and Luo Qiao had already started washing tomatoes in the kitchen.
When Lu Yichen came over, he took over Luo Qiao’s task, “Qiao Bao, you can just sit and direct me.”
“Brother Chen, it’s fine. You’re treating me like a porcelain doll. I’m in good health. As long as I don’t do any heavy lifting, there definitely won’t be a problem. A bit of activity is even better for my health.”
“Qiao Bao, do you need to go to the hospital tomorrow, or are you going back to school?”
“Tomorrow I’ll be back at the hospital. During this period, I need to follow Professor Guo. He is an authority in neurosurgery and already has two graduate students under him. If it weren’t for Professor Chang’s good relations with him and my catching his eye, this opportunity wouldn’t have come easily.
So, I need to cherish it. Being guided by someone compared to figuring it out on my own makes a world of difference. Don’t worry, even if I go back to the hospital, I will take good care of myself.”
After marinating the tomatoes and cleaning up, Luo Qiao said, “Brother Chen, let’s go out for a walk later and buy some tofu. With the remaining tomatoes, I can make a spicy tomato tofu sauce. Tonight, we can have it with noodles.”
Lu Yichen couldn’t say no.
That evening, they enjoyed noodles with tomato tofu sauce, which were refreshingly delicious.
After dinner, the couple took a stroll outside to help with digestion and also called the Luo grandparents and Grandpa Gu to check in with them.
The next day, Luo Qiao went back to the hospital to continue learning under Professor Guo’s guidance.
That day, several people rushed into the hospital supporting a patient who was bending over and clutching his abdomen. Because both the injured and those who brought him in were foreigners, the doctors and nurses couldn’t communicate with them.
Just as everyone was frantically trying to figure out what to do, Luo Qiao came in. She had been about to finish her shift and was at the front door when she heard people discussing the situation. After thinking it over, she turned back and went to the emergency room.
Luo Qiao stepped forward and acted as a translator. After an examination, the patient was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and needed surgery.
Luo Qiao translated for the patient and those who had brought him, ensuring no delay in the treatment, and escorted them to the operating room just in time.
The people who brought the patient insisted on having Luo Qiao leave her name so they could thank her later. Luo Qiao repeatedly insisted it was unnecessary and managed to leave; she understood their feelings but truly felt there was no need as it was just something she did to help.
Now that she was over two months pregnant, Lu Yichen would come to pick her up whenever he wasn’t busy. He also took care of all the house chores. Luo Qiao only helped with cooking, and that too was something she had insisted on doing herself.
After dinner at home, Lu Yichen said, “Qiao Bao, from tomorrow we should start staying at the second-entry compound. It looks like it’s going to rain, and since you’ll be returning to school, and I might be busy these next few days, I might not be able to pick you up on time. With Rong Daniang and her husband there, I can rest assured.”
Luo Qiao had the same intention, especially since she had been sensitive to blood smells recently due to morning sickness, and would probably be spending more time at school. Staying in the second-entry compound would be more convenient.
After dinner, Lu Yichen took her for a walk and called Rong Daniang.
Rong Daniang was very happy after receiving the call, “Old man, tomorrow Qiaoqiao will come to stay, luckily I aired all the bedding a few days ago.”
“Hmm, if it were these next few days, it wouldn’t be possible to air anything. It’s been overcast and it might rain tonight.”
“Qiaoqiao and Yichen have been married for six months now, I wonder if there’s been any movement in her belly. If she’s pregnant, my old bones can still serve during the month of confinement and help look after the baby.”
“Ask her indirectly tomorrow. If she’s pregnant, we need to be careful with the diet.”
That night, as Lu Yichen touched Luo Qiao’s still fairly unchanged belly, he said, “Qiao Bao, having a baby is a blessing, but these monk-like days are truly hard to endure. Most importantly, you’re suffering a lot, and it breaks my heart to see.”
Luo Qiao still experienced severe morning sickness every morning, but she suspected that the baby in her belly was also a foodie, as it accepted both sour and spicy flavors without hesitation and preferred strong tastes. However, she couldn’t stand even the slightest odor of raw meat or fish.”
Recently, because of this, Lu Yichen had revoked her privilege to assist him in the kitchen, worried about her reacting to those smells. It was really hard to watch her in discomfort, and it pained him.
