Chapter 646 Leaving the Hospital and Returning Home
Mumu extended a small hand, but could only cover one eye, even though both of her eyes were completely hidden.
Seeing that Dao Qin's arm was no longer bleeding, Bai Chenxi quickly grabbed his daughter's arm. When the needle was inserted, Mumu still cried out loud.
"Mumu will be all better soon."
The nurse's hands were very quick, and she removed the needle before the child could cry for long.
When Dao Qin let go, she saw her daughter's face full of tears, and her heart ached, not knowing what to use to wipe them away.
"Here, use this handkerchief to wipe Mumu's tears. Our Mumu is the bravest child."
Bai Er Furen handed over the handkerchief and stepped aside, watching the family of three gathered together, looking as happy as could be.
To allow Dao Qin to rest, she was asked to hold Mumu and go to the room. Perhaps due to the fright, Mumu was listless and willing to be carried back to the room.
"Child, here are your clean clothes and pajamas. Wash up a bit and then you can sleep with Mumu."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome. Stay here for now, and we can talk about everything else slowly."
Closing the door, she left only the mother and daughter. Dao Qin knelt by the bed, gently patting Mumu to sleep.
"Mommy will sing to Mumu."
"Okay, Mommy will think about what to sing."
Bai Chenxi stood at the door, listening for a while before leaving with peace of mind. He slumped onto the sofa.
"Looking at you, you need to behave yourself from now on. Dao Qin is a very polite and well-behaved girl. You must change all your bad habits."
"How did they become bad habits? I've always been like this."
The moment he saw Grandpa Bai raise his cane, someone immediately sat up straight, instantly adopting the demeanor of a noble son from a wealthy family.
"First, you must gain Dao Qin's forgiveness. Second, personally take her back to her country to meet her parents. Third, properly pursue her. She is clearly a good mother who dotes on her child, so her heart cannot be bad."
"Yes, I understand."
"Let your brother-in-law contact people in China to find Dao Qin's parents. At least let them know their daughter is still alive."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
"And find Dr. Huaisen and ask him to provide the test results as quickly as possible. Without the results, everything else is in vain."
"Understood, I'll go now."
Bai Chenxi left with considerable speed. He understood that he would only have a good life when he could marry Mumu's mother. The road ahead was long and arduous!
Ye Shengsong looked at the streetscape of Fuzheng City with eyes full of curiosity. She had never traveled abroad in her previous life, and she had only arrived here while unconscious. She wished she could look at every scene for a longer time.
Zi Yisheng, holding his wife, was constantly observing her every move.
"After a few days of rest at home, I'll take you to a different place every day."
"Okay. When there's a chance, I want to travel to many countries and see different cultures and customs."
"Those are trivial matters. I'll fulfill them all for you."
The car stopped in front of the villa, and Ye Shengsong saw their daughter running very fast in the yard.
"Mommy! Mommy's home!"
Xiao Mi'er's shout brought everyone in the house out.
"Mommy!"
"Daughter!"
"Shengsong!"
Ye Shengsong was still carried down. Someone said that if she could avoid walking now, she shouldn't.
In fact, her legs felt very weak, as she hadn't taken a single step in months.
Xiao Mi'er and Youyou each pulled on their father's clothes, following closely behind.
Mom Ye and the others also stayed nearby, ready to catch her at any moment. Only when she was safely placed on the sofa did they relax.
"Daughter, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable in any way?"
"No, I've never felt better."
Ye Mu'en rubbed his sister's head. It was great. A long-held wish was finally fulfilled at this moment.
The two children gathered around, watching their mother intently, especially their satisfied expressions as their mother touched their faces and heads.
Zi Yisheng, however, went to the bathroom and filled a basin with water to wipe his wife's face. The hospital always felt unclean.
"Oh, right. I remember Elder Fan had mugwort. Let's boil some water to ward off misfortune and bad luck."
Family members who were away also rushed back. Grandpa and Grandma Bai also called, as there was still an important person at home.
Amidst the lively atmosphere, Ye Shengsong finally had time to look at her sister-in-law. She felt grateful to the woman who was going to bear children for her elder brother. Seeing that she had lost some weight, she also felt heartache for her, as pregnancy reactions were truly tormenting.
"When the little niece is born, she'll get a spanking."
"Hahahaha, okay, we'll all spank her together then."
Dinner was, of course, very lively. Although Ye Shengsong couldn't drink, seeing everyone around her made her feel that her life was complete.
That night, Zi Yisheng held his wife as they sat on the bedroom balcony watching the stars. They didn't speak, but felt a deep sense of warmth.
Bai Chenxi, however, was driven almost crazy that night. Mumu wanted to sleep with him, but Dao Qin also wanted to watch over the child. Until things were clarified, he naturally couldn't have all three of them in one bed.
In the end, the mother and daughter slept in his bed, while he sat by the bedside, holding his daughter's hand all night, and always on guard.
"Sleep soundly. I promise I won't make any moves tonight, absolutely not."
"I, I didn't mean that."
"Alright, you sleep."
Bai Chenxi looked at the time; it was past two in the morning. At this moment, he felt like he was paying off a debt.
The next afternoon, the test report was finally delivered. Although Dao Qin didn't understand anything, from everyone's expressions and the information given, she was certain of everything. She hugged Mumu and burst into tears.
Afraid of scaring the child, Bai Chenxi took her outside, and they had a conversation that lasted for an hour. He did not hide anything about his actions, including all of his past indiscretions.
"My home is in a county under Chenghai. That day, I was just out playing with classmates in the city. There were a lot of people, and soon I got separated from my friends. While looking for them, I met Meng Wanwan, who was selling things. She said she had seen my classmate and then I went with her."
The rest was self-explanatory. What else could Bai Chenxi say? Should he say the person in front of him lacked common sense, or that he was foolish and tricked? In any case, since things had happened, he could only think about what to do next.
"Tell me your home's exact address. I'll have someone contact your parents first. At least you can have a phone call."
"Yes, thank you."
"You're thanking me? It's good enough that you didn't try to kill me."
Dao Qin shook her head. For this matter, one could say both of them were at fault and at the same time not at fault. In any case, the person who harmed them had already been punished, so she blamed no one.
"What are your plans for the future? I'll say this upfront: Mumu will never leave the Bai family, and I sincerely want to take responsibility for you."
"If I want to stay by Mumu's side, do I have to marry you?"
"You could say that. Otherwise, you can only stay away."
Dao Qin didn't hesitate much. She would not leave the child she had given birth to with all her might.
"I want to stay by Mumu's side."
"Are you not going to reconsider? Once we get married, we cannot divorce."
