"If you can’t make it, everything I do is aningless."
"..."
"Even if I won’t let those who hard you go, it still doesn’t matter... do you understand?"
"Yes."
Yin Shixiu responded, and for a mont, the atmosphere felt a bit heavy. Ti passed second by second, and the ti for him to enter the operating room approached.
"What are Shuang’er and Huang’er doing?"
Yin Shixiu suddenly asked.
When kids were ntioned, Su Xiaong instinctively smiled, a gentle, comforting smile,
"The siblings were clamoring to go to the amusent park early in the morning. It’s such hot weather, and you’re about to go into surgery. How could I have the heart to take them to an amusent park?"
"I told Mom that I wanted to get so good sleep before coming in, so the siblings didn’t make a fuss; they probably accepted their fate."
"Right now, Ah Su is playing with them in the living room."
Just by listening, Yin Shixiu seed to be able to imagine the siblings’ every move.
His usually sharp eagle eyes always soften when talking about the kids.
"Want to see them?"
"Of course."
Yin Shixiu did not hide his longing for the children.
Su Xiaong might still feel as though being able to video call Yin Shixiu is like a dream, fearing she might be woken up carelessly.
"Hang in there! You’ll definitely get to see them!"
"Mm."
Yin Shixiu blinked.
It wasn’t early anymore; on the other end, the attending doctors had co in again, bustling about with pre-surgery preparations.
"I’ll turn off the video now."
Yin Shixiu said to her.
Su Xiaong agreed almost at once, that light "okay"... her lips even trembled slightly from fear.
"Su Xiaong, give a smile."
Yin Shixiu said to her,
"Just like how you often pull my face and say, Uncle, give a smile..."
Su Xiaong’s eyes welled with moisture, and she softly smiled,
"I’ll wait for you."
After saying this softly, she turned off the video, placed the tablet aside, and the tears gathering in her eyes didn’t fall in front of him.
She lay in bed, reached out to hug the blue Winnie the Pooh from the nightstand into her arms.
The surgery lasted a full six and a half hours.
At three in the morning, Su Xiaong received a call from Eric,
"The surgery was very successful; Arthur has been wheeled back to his room. It will still take so ti for him to wake up."
Su Xiaong’s tightly clenched heart finally relaxed a bit,
"Thank you, Eric."
"Arthur said you probably wouldn’t be able to sleep, and hearing your voice, I can tell you haven’t, right?"
Su Xiaong could only give a bitter smile,
"Watching movies, watching dramas... afraid to be woken up by nightmares if I fall asleep."
"Ah, God can be really torturous."
"It’s not really torture; as long as the surgery is successful, it’s fine. I’ll sleep for another three or four hours."
"Yes, don’t worry, I’m taking care of Arthur. Even if I’m not there, the best caregivers will look after him. Once he sees you, everything will be fine, everything will go smoothly..."
Su Xiaong felt warmth in her heart for a while,
"Thank you so much, Eric."
After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaong lay back down and hugged the blue Winnie the Pooh into her arms again.
"Mom..."
Just then, Prince Huang softly called out to her.
Su Xiaong quickly turned on the bedside lamp and sat up.
She hadn’t turned on the lamp earlier to avoid waking the siblings and was speaking quietly on the phone.
Still, she didn’t expect to wake Huang Huang.
Shuangshuang and Huang Huang’s small beds were placed by the big bed, and Prince Huang directly climbed from his small bed to Su Xiaong’s side. In the warm yellow glow of the lamp, his bright eyes were clearly visible,
"Mom..."
"Yes?"
"Were you secretly talking to Dad on the phone?"
"..."
Su Xiaong was quite startled, and suddenly felt fully awake.
"Who... who told you that?"
"I guessed..."
Prince Huang said seriously, "It’s so late... who else could it be but Dad?"
After hearing this, Su Xiaong felt a bit relieved.
But...
The child’s sensitivity often caught people off guard.
Those dark eyes seed to see through all the lies adults tell.
Su Xiaong hugged Prince Huang,
"Huang Huang... did Mom’s phone call wake you up?"
"Hmm... I need to pee..."
"..."
Su Xiaong was about to start chatting with her son, feeling sentintal, but Huang Huang’s straightforward answer took her by surprise.
Turns out he was woken up by the need to pee...
Really out of sorts.
She got up to take him to the bathroom.
After using the toilet and washing his little hands, Prince Huang snuggled into Su Xiaong’s arms, making it clear he didn’t want to return to his small bed.
