Before Lin Xu could say anything, Ye Wanwan spoke first, "Mom, you and Dad should also go take a rest."
"I’m fine," said Su Xiangyi.
"This all happened so suddenly, you had to take care of me, as well as Shen Yi and Zhouzhou; you must be exhausted after these past few days."
"But I’m awake now, and the doctor said my body is fine. It’s just better to stay in the hospital for a few days to observe for any unexpected situations, so I can take care of myself."
"You all should go back and rest well," Ye Wanwan genuinely felt that she didn’t need them to stay just to take care of her at this point.
"Why say all this, as long as you’re okay, that’s what matters," Su Xiangyi didn’t want to talk about how worried they had been these days; after all, the best outcome was that Ye Wanwan was now awake.
"Yes, I’m fine now, so you all can rest assured," Ye Wanwan assured them with conviction.
Su Xiangyi still wanted to stay; nobody could understand how frightened she was to see her daughter lying on the bed, unresponsive. Even though Ye Wanwan was now awake, she couldn’t help but feel the lingering fear.
It was Ye Zhenhua who stepped forward and, with a low voice, put his arm around Su Xiangyi’s shoulders, saying, "You need to rest too."
As Ye Wanwan was their daughter, Ye Zhenhua naturally didn’t find it appropriate to provide personal care, leaving Su Xiangyi and Lin Xu to do so.
But Lin Xu also had to take care of Zhouzhou, so it had been Su Xiangyi accompanying Ye Wanwan all these days. Indeed, she had reached the point of complete exhaustion.
"Wanwan would feel sorry if she saw how tired you are," Ye Zhenhua whispered into Lin Xu’s ear.
Lin Xu glanced at Ye Wanwan and then nodded, "Okay, then," she agreed.
"Zhouzhou, let’s go back with grandma," Lin Xu came over, preparing to pick Zhouzhou up.
"I won’t go!" Zhouzhou said decisively. Just as he had finally let go of Ye Wanwan’s neck, he heard this and held on to her even tighter, completely ignoring Lin Xu.
"Zhouzhou, mommy needs to rest. We’ll come back to see mommy tomorrow," Lin Xu said as she reached out to pick him up.
However, Zhouzhou refused to be taken away by Lin Xu and struggled vigorously, clinging to Ye Wanwan and said in a crying voice, "Mommy, I won’t leave! I don’t want to go!"
"Why don’t we let Zhouzhou stay and sleep with me?" Ye Wanwan, hearing Zhouzhou’s words, was filled with compassion.
"You’ve just woken up," Lin Xu frowned slightly, disapproving.
"It’s okay, Zhouzhou has always been well-behaved," Ye Wanwan quickly said.
At last, with Ye Wanwan’s persuasion, Zhouzhou finally decided to stay.
After watching them leave, Ye Wanwan and Zhouzhou washed up simply and then went to bed together.
Zhouzhou had not seen his mother for several days, and although he was a young child who may not understand everything, he was naturally very happy to see her now.
When it was time for Zhouzhou to sleep, Ye Wanwan held him and told him a story, soon lulling Zhouzhou to sleep.
Looking at Zhouzhou lying quietly in her arms, Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but think of Zhouzhou from her past life and unwittingly her eyes filled with tears.
Ye Wanwan slightly lowered her head and kissed Zhouzhou’s forehead, her voice choked with emotion as she whispered, "I’m sorry."
Zhouzhou seemed to be disturbed and shifted in Ye Wanwan’s arms.
Ye Wanwan gently patted Zhouzhou, careful not to move too much, and waited until he fell into a deep sleep before she carefully got out of bed and went to the next room.
