Chapter 1456 - Great to Have You
Chapter 1456: Great to Have You (16)
Mu Wansheng was eager and anxious while waiting for the elevator. The doors finally opened after a while.
Snowman entered, after which she followed suit.
“Which floor are you going to? I’ll help you press the button,” said a middle-aged woman.
“Seventh please, thank you.”
Just as the doors were about to close, the woman said, “Wait a minute.”
Ever since Mu Wansheng had lost her vision, her sense of hearing became heightened. She could tell that two people had entered the elevator just by hearing their footsteps.
The doors of the elevator closed slowly.
“Auntie is not going to blame us for being late right? We should have been here yesterday,” said the woman.
“It’s alright, better late than never,” said a male voice that was too familiar for Mu Wansheng to not recognize. She instantly knew who it was.
She froze in shock. She had never expected to run into him at the hospital or be in such close contact with him ever again.
However, he will never be able to recognize me again.
I’m no longer that Mu Wansheng whom he knew. I’m just a blind expectant mother who has a deep and hoarse voice.
Her initial nervousness vanished at the thought of it.
Soon, the elevator came to a stop. When she was about to exit the elevator, the middle-aged woman who had helped her press the button quickly stopped her and said, “We’re only on the fifth floor. We haven’t reached the seventh yet.”
Mu Wansheng nodded and returned to her initial position. When the elevator stopped on the seventh floor, Snowman immediately zoomed out of the elevator as soon as the doors opened. She quickly took chase. To her surprise, someone else followed suit as well.
Mu Wansheng could not be bothered to stop and instead proceeded to look for ward 712.
She began walking toward the corridor on the left where she asked for directions, after which she turned around and proceeded to the corridor on the right instead.
Upon realizing that Mu Wansheng was blind, a kindhearted elderly lady offered to show her the way and thus led her to ward 712 after Mu Wansheng told her where she was going.
Clearly, it was a simple ward that housed several other patients.
Mu Wansheng did not have to guess which bed Tang Yucheng was on because Snowman led her there straight away.
“Yucheng?”
Tang Yucheng was surprised yet frightened to see her. He was exceptionally worried for her because she was blind and pregnant at the same time.
If she were to slip and fall, the consequences would be dire.
“Happy, why are you here? Why didn’t you stay at home instead?”
“You didn’t go home for two days and I was worried about you, so I came to the city to look for you. I headed to the construction site before this and your colleagues said that you had fallen from a building. Are your injuries severe?”
“No, the building wasn’t that high and I was wearing a safety harness as well. I just suffered some scrapes and abrasions.” He held her hand and pulled her onto a seat. “I was initially planning to go home to see you today. Therefore, I didn’t get anyone to inform you about my condition. I didn’t want you to be worried. Yet you actually came to look for me first.”
Mu Wansheng touched him with her hand and asked, “Where are your wounds?”
“They’re mostly on my thighs.”
After touching his thighs gently, she discovered that his right thigh had been bandaged. “It must be very severe. Does it hurt a lot?”
“Not at all.”
“Don’t lie. If it doesn’t hurt, you wouldn’t be hospitalized,” said Mu Wansheng, who took great pity on him. He had been giving her all the money that he earned, and she suggested a few days ago that he stay at home for a while and go out to work again when the temperatures got warmer. However, he insisted on going back to work and, hence, she had no choice but to let him go.
Actually, she was well aware that they were cash-strapped and needed some money to prepare for the arrival of her baby, who was due soon.
She had already figured it all out. If the time came and it was really impossible for them to make ends meet, she would sell her necklace, which would probably fetch a high price.
Although she did not wish to sell it at all because it was a gift from Fan Shixin, who had helped her put it on himself, she realized that it cost 96 thousand dollars and she could get at least half of the original price by selling it.
It would be her last resort.
Considering how much Tang Yucheng had done for her, she wanted to do something for him in return too.
“It was rather painful at first, but not anymore. I’m planning to get discharged today.”
“Did the doctor say that you could be discharged today?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the doctor entered and said to her, “Tang Yucheng cannot be discharged yet. He has to continue being hospitalized for at least a week.”
Upon hearing his words, Mu Wansheng immediately said, “Doctor, he’s not going to be discharged.”
Tang Yucheng insisted, “Happy, I don’t think there’s a need for me to be hospitalized any longer. Let’s go home.”
“The doctor has already said that you have to be hospitalized. You’re not the doctor. How are you so sure that you don’t have to be hospitalized anymore?”
Tang Yucheng held her hand and said softly, “The supervisor of the construction site had given me a sum of 20 thousand dollars as compensation. I don’t want to waste it all on my medical bills.”
Having understood his concerns, Mu Wansheng said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the money. I have my own resources. Just put your mind at ease and stay here. The most important thing to do now is to let your wounds recover. Don’t think about the rest. I’ll be here to accompany you.”
“What… resources do you have?”
“I just have my own. Don’t worry. Besides, a few days of hospitalization is not going to cost much,” she said, patting his hand.
Moments later, a new patient was transferred to ward 712 from another ward.
There were frequent transfers of patients from ward to ward in the hospital.
This time, the patient being transferred was Fan Shixin’s aunt.
Upon the sight of Fan Shixin, Tang Yucheng grew flustered.
He immediately said, “Happy, I think we’d better go home. Let’s go home.”
Mu Wansheng was initially rather adamant about it. However, she soon realized why Tang Yucheng insisted on going home after she heard the voices of Fan Shixin and the woman.
However, she was worried that he might get an infection if he were to recuperate at home instead, especially since their living conditions were harsh.
Mu Wansheng held his hand and said softly, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. We’ll go home after you’ve stayed here for a few more days. Alright?”
Noticing that Fan Shixin did not react abnormally after hearing Mu Wansheng’s voice, Tang Yucheng felt much more relieved. He thought that Fan Shixin did not recognize her at all.
In the past, he used to think that he would be supportive of her decision if she wanted to go home or return to Fan Shixin’s side. However, he had now changed his mind.
He felt that it was a heartwarming thing to have a wife to come home to after a long day of hard work.
He would have someone to talk to and spend time with.
He yearned to have a warm family.
Although she was now covered in scars, he did not find her hideous at all. He found her to be a talented woman who had a great personality. After spending some time with her, he had gradually begun to fancy her too.
Everyone else in the ward was initially displeased about Snowman’s presence. However, they discovered that he was extremely obedient and was toilet-trained. Hence, they began to accept him.
