In the evening, the nurse came in to inject Su Mi with nutrient solution, and brought some fresh juice and soup cooked by Sister He. When he was about to feed her, he saw Huo Shenxiu making a gesture to indicate that he would come.
The caregiver stepped aside.
Huo Shenxiu picked up the unconscious little woman and let her lie in his arms in a comfortable position, then skillfully used a needle to feed juice and soup into her lips.
The two female caregivers looked at each other. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have known that the noble and aloof man in front of them could do what the caregivers did so skillfully and even more delicately than they did.
After feeding, he wiped her mouth with a soft tissue, held her and sat for a while to facilitate her digestion, and then laid her down.
A nurse took a few steps forward and said, "Mr. Huo, you can go and take a rest first while we give Mrs. Huo a bath."
He said as usual: "No, I'll do it myself. You go down first."
The two looked at each other again. Mrs. Huo took a shower and changed clothes every day. Mr. Huo did it himself and never did anything to others.
Although they are nursing staff hired by Huayuan, to be honest these days, Mr. Huo is doing most of the care for Mrs. Huo himself.
This salary is too easy to get.
But he didn't say much, bowed his head and left.
Huo Shenxiu went to get a change of clothes for Su Mi, then went to the bathroom, put hot water in the bathtub, tested the water temperature, brought her in, let her wrap her slim arms around his neck, and sit on his lap.
Her body was soft and had no support at all. She relied on him to hold her up, like a beautiful but lifeless doll.
He took off her hair rope, combed her hair first, then soaked it with water and applied shampoo.
During these days, he personally combed her long hair every day, and occasionally tied it up for her.
I was clumsy at first, but after learning from online videos a few times, I became quite proficient.
Before leaving the hospital, the doctor suggested that since she was bedridden and didn't know when she would wake up, it was best to cut her hair short for convenience and cleanliness.
But he refused.
He knew that like all women, she loved beauty, including this seaweed-like black and silky hair.
If she wakes up and finds that her hair has been cut, she will definitely be angry.
Therefore, he would not let anyone touch her even a hair.
I would rather help her comb and wash her hair every day.
Although it takes a lot of effort and time, he enjoys it and doesn't feel annoyed at all. Instead, he feels extremely satisfied every time he cleans her up.
Sometimes, he would think of Zhang Chang, who in history helped his wife with eyebrow defects to apply eyebrows every day. Maybe he felt the same as himself?
It doesn't matter if others laugh at you.
What matters is her.
…
After giving Su Mi a bath and hair, blow-drying, and putting on clean and soft pajamas, Butler He knocked on the door and said:
"Second Master, your cell phone is ringing. I've brought it to you. Do you want to answer it..."
Huo Shenxiu frowned, fearing to disturb Su Mi, so he tucked her in the quilt, stood up, went over to open the door, and stepped into the corridor:
"If you say you won't answer, just say I'm not here, don't you understand?"
Butler He was helpless: "It's not Datuk who's calling, it's Master Chengxun."
He frowned and then answered the phone.
Li Chengxun's voice sounded over there: "Brother."
"You have something to say."
Li Chengxun lowered his voice: "Have you not answered dad's calls in the past few days?"
"Um."
"You didn't pick up again today, right?"
"Um."
"I just saw him getting angry after hanging up the phone, and then I heard that he asked Uncle Lan to prepare for the plane to Tancheng. It seemed that he had prepared several seats and seemed to have brought a lot of people with him. I guess it would be at the latest at night
We will be there soon, so be mentally prepared."
Huo Shenxiu's eyes flashed, bringing many people here? What does that mean?
Could it be that he wanted Mimi to abort the child, but Jin Fengtai was unwilling and wanted to tie him up?
He frowned: "I know."
After Li Chengxun finished reporting the letter, he asked again: "Is Su Mi feeling better?"
"It's almost the same as before."
Li Chengxun's voice became darker: "She is blessed with good fortune, so it will be fine. You should also take good care of yourself. If she gets tired, Su Mi will have no one to take care of her."
…
Before eight o'clock in the evening, Jinfengtai and his party arrived at Huayuan.
When Butler He went upstairs to report, Huo Shenxiu touched Su Mi's cheek with his fingertips, stood up, straightened his sleeves, and went downstairs.
Jin Fengtai, accompanied by Lan Ziyan, sat on the sofa in the living room. The dust all over her body could not hide her stern expression. When she saw her son coming down, she could no longer suppress her anger:
"What do you mean, why don't you answer my call? Is it fun to hide?"
Huo Shenxiu said calmly: "Just because you didn't answer the phone, you flew all the way to Tancheng. Are you making a fuss out of a molehill?"
As he said that, he looked at Lan Ziyan: "You know very well how Datuk's health is, so why don't you try to dissuade him and just go on fooling around?"
Jin Fengtai scolded: "Don't change the topic, I came here to tell you about the baby in Mimi's belly——"
Huo Shenxiu interrupted: "If Dato still wants me to keep the child, there is no need to waste my energy."
Jin Fengtai stopped talking and then chuckled: "So you must kill my grandson? He is your own flesh and blood, Xuanzhi's siblings, are you really willing to do so?"
Huo Shenxiu had no intention of arguing with him: "Compared to the so-called biological flesh and blood, your life is more important. No one needs to say it. Butler He, send Dato and the others to the guild hall. There are patients at home and it is not convenient to entertain guests!"
Jin Fengtai was laughed out of anger. Lan Ziyan was about to open his mouth to explain to Datuk, but Jin Fengtai raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything, and just looked at the eldest son:
"So, even if Mimi wakes up and hates you for aborting the child, you still decide to do it? This child is the blood of our Jin family after all..."
Huo Shenxiu didn't wait for him to finish: "Not everyone values heirs so much. No one's life is as important as hers. If it were my mother, she might die giving birth to me, would you keep me?"
Jinfengtai was speechless, the answer was self-evident.
Huo Shenxiu ordered again: "Assistant Lan, accompany Dato back to the clubhouse first."
Lan Ziyan then glanced at Jinfengtai and said, "Second Master, you have misunderstood Dato."
Huo Shenxiu raised his eyes.
"When Dato came to Tancheng this time, it was not that you were not allowed to perform an abortion on the young lady, but he specially brought some experts to check on the young lady's condition." Lan Ziyan said and glanced at Butler He.
Butler He hurried out and came in with three professional-looking people, two men and one woman.
Lan Ziyan introduced: "These three are famous brain surgery experts and obstetrics and gynecology experts in the country. Dato's visit this time is just to bring them over, and then give the young lady a consultation to brainstorm ideas, just in case it doesn't work.
...Let this gynecologist perform the abortion on the young lady himself."
Then he pointed at the middle-aged woman among them:
"This is Professor Shen. Her clinical skills are very good and the harm to the young lady's body will be reduced. Dato called you in the past few days because he wanted to tell you, but who knew that you didn't answer the phone at all... … Dato didn’t even have a chance to tell you.”
