Chapter 704 Stepmother
With half a bottle of intravenous drip inserted, Qiao Anan clamored to go to the bathroom, "Dad, I want to pee."
"Dad asked the nurse sister to accompany you."
Qiao Shaohan was about to wave for the nurse when Lin Xiaoya appeared, "I'll take her there."
In fact, she had arrived at the hospital a long time ago, but she just hid aside and watched the father and daughter.
She was unwilling to answer Qiao Shaohan's call, but after seeing the WeChat message he sent, she hurried to the hospital. Qiao An'an was sick, and she couldn't ignore it.
"Mom, you're here."
Qiao An'an suddenly became happy and her spirits improved.
"I'll carry her over. You hold the IV bottle."
Qiao Shaohan stood up with Qiao An'an in his arms. Lin Xiaoya reached out and took the child away, "I'll hold it."
She smelled the smell of alcohol on Qiao Shaohan's body and frowned in disgust, "You drank a lot?"
"I just drank half the bottle."
Qiao Shaohan scratched the back of his head nonchalantly. If Qiao Anan hadn't had a fever, he would probably have drank several bottles tonight.
Lin Xiaoya ignored Qiao Shaohan and started to leave with Qiao An'an in her arms. He quickly took down the IV bottle from the shelf, held it high, and followed her towards the bathroom.
He was relieved that she could come. At least she was still nervous about the child.
"Mom, dad said you are busy and can't come to stay with An An."
Qiao Anan put her arms around Lin Xiaoya's neck and looked at her seriously, "But I know mom and dad had a fight, so mom is unhappy every day."
"An'an, mom is fine."
Lin Xiaoya was surprised by Qiao Anan's sensitivity. She tried her best not to show her unhappiness in front of her children.
Qiao Shaohan glanced at Qiao Anan and wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.
"Mom, daddy is not good, so he will make you angry. An'an is good, so don't be angry, okay?"
Qiao An'an couldn't help but cry, "I don't want my parents to get divorced one day, and I don't want to be with just one of you. I want to be with my parents."
"An'an, don't cry."
Lin Xiaoya coaxed Qiao An'an, bit her lip and said, "Mom doesn't want to divorce dad."
When Qiao Shaohan heard Lin Xiaoya's words, he felt a little excited. As long as she didn't divorce, anything would be fine.
"Really?"
Only then did Qiao Anan stop crying, "Mom, don't lie to An An, or An An will hide and you won't be able to find her."
"An'an, you are not allowed to have such thoughts. Mom will die of panic if she can't find you."
Lin Xiaoya hugged Qiao An'an tightly. She still remembered the last time Qiao An'an got lost in the playground. She didn't want to experience that kind of fear again.
"If mother doesn't leave An An, An An won't do this."
Qiao An'an is a stubborn child, and her temper is very much like Lin Xiaoya's.
Lin Xiaoya sighed softly, "An'an, you are still young and don't know what happens between adults."
"I'm not young anymore. You and dad are having conflicts. I can tell at a glance."
Qiao Anan tilted her little head, "You don't even look at dad anymore. He keeps smiling, but you ignore him."
Lin Xiaoya didn't expect Qiao An'an to be so observant. She pursed her lips and said, "Dad did something wrong, so mom wants to punish dad so that he will have a better memory in the future."
"Then you can punish Dad the same way you punish An An. Let him face the wall and think about it for three hours. Every time An An is punished, he vows not to make any mistakes in the future."
Qiao Anan's words made Lin Xiaoya laugh, "Then why do you often make mistakes and don't have a long memory?"
"I am a child and my father is an adult. He will definitely have a long memory."
Qiao Anan hugged Lin Xiaoya's neck and acted coquettishly, "Don't ignore dad, okay? I know that your situation is called a cold war between husband and wife."
Qiao Shaohan felt a little unhappy. He didn't expect that he would ask his daughter to plead for him. He wisely kept silent, fearing that he would make a mistake if he spoke too much.
"You do know quite a lot."
Lin Xiaoya pinched Qiao Anan's little face and said, "Children don't need to know this."
She turned her head and glared at Qiao Shaohan. He could clearly see the blame in her eyes. He could only smile helplessly.
"My classmate told me. She said her parents got divorced after a cold war."
Qiao Anan pursed her lips, "I don't want my parents to get divorced. Children of single parents are very pitiful. You don't want a stepmother to abuse me and my brothers, right?"
"An An, there will be no stepmother."
Lin Xiaoya sighed softly. Qiao Shaohan once said that even if he got divorced, he would not marry again. But he could cheat this time, so his words must be discounted.
"An'an, dad will never separate from mom."
Qiao Shaohan opened his mouth to express his position, but Lin Xiaoya just looked at him, unable to comment.
Entering the bathroom, Qiao Anan went into the cubicle to urinate. Lin Xiaoya held up the intravenous bottle and waited for her to finish urinating before leading her to the door.
"I'll hold her."
Qiao Shaohan bent down and picked up Qiao An'an. Lin Xiaoya held the IV bottle in her hand and followed him.
"Dad, I have said good things for you. Now it's up to you to make your mother happy."
Qiao Anan whispered in Qiao Shaohan's ear, and he nodded, "Okay. Thank you Anan."
Lin Xiaoya felt bitter in her heart when she saw their father and daughter being so intimate.
If she insists on divorce, the children will be hurt. But if she doesn't divorce, she will be wronged.
It's so hard to be a woman.
…
After one intravenous drip was completed, Qiao An'an's fever subsided. The doctor prescribed several medicines to her, including those that could be sprayed on her throat and some that could be taken directly.
"You should take medicine for two days first. If you have recurring fevers, come to the hospital."
"Okay, thank you doctor."
Lin Xiaoya took the order and went to the pharmacy to queue up to get the medicine. Qiao Shaohan held Qiao Anan and sat on the bench in the hall to wait.
"Dad, will mom come home with us?"
Qiao Anan looked at Qiao Shaohan, he pursed his lips and shook his head, "I don't know."
"Dad, if mom is unhappy, just make her happy."
Qiao Anan glared at Qiao Shaohan, "Are you adults so stupid? Do you want a child from me to teach you?"
"I'll try."
Qiao Shaohan was helpless. He wanted to coax Lin Xiaoya, but he had to give her a chance.
Now that things are getting more and more out of control, he doesn't know how to coax him to make Lin Xiaoya feel comfortable.
Lin Xiaoya received the medicine, walked to Qiao Shaohan, stretched out her hand to take Qiao Anan away, "Anan will stay with me at the beach villa tonight, and I will take care of her."
"Mom, I think dad is with us too."
Qiao An'an doesn't want her mother's company and her father is missing.
Lin Xiaoya looked at the tears in Qiao An's eyes and sighed softly, "Forget it, let's go back to the old house together."
Qiao Anan instantly became happy and said, "Thank you, mom."
