Chapter 134 Su Xuan's Dilemma and Perseverance: The Days Nianci Was Sick
Su Xuan thought life could finally get back on track; the factory problems had just been resolved, and she breathed a sigh of relief. But who could have imagined that misfortune would strike again? Before she could even catch her breath, Nianci fell ill.
That day, Su Xuan sat wearily in the factory office, having just resolved all the problems, her exhaustion still lingering. Suddenly, her phone rang. A weak voice came from the other end, saying listlessly that she felt unwell. Su Xuan's heart leaped into her throat. Forgetting the work she had just finished, she rushed home.
Upon arriving home, Su Xuan was frantic to see Nianci lying weakly in bed, her face contorted in pain. She comforted Nianci while inwardly blaming herself for not paying more attention to her health. Nianci's illness plunged Su Xuan into deep worry and anxiety; she not only had to care for Nianci but also strive to balance work and life.
Su Xuan stayed by Nianci's bedside, her gaze fixed on her pale face, her eyes filled with heartache and self-reproach. She gently soaked a towel, wrung it out, and placed it lightly on Nianci's forehead, murmuring, "Baby, don't be afraid, Mommy's here."
Nianci slightly opened her eyes and weakly called out, "Mom." Her voice was barely audible, trembling with weakness. Su Xuan immediately leaned forward, gently taking Nianci's hand and passing on her warmth. "Baby, you'll get better, don't worry," Su Xuan comforted softly, her eyes full of determination.
She got up and poured a glass of warm water, carefully helped Nianci up, brought the glass to her lips, and said gently, "Here, drink some water." Nianci slightly opened her lips, took a small sip of water, and the water dripped down her chin. Su Xuan quickly caught it with her hand and then gently wiped it with a tissue.
Seeing Nianci's chapped lips, Su Xuan felt a pang of heartache. She dipped a cotton swab in water and gently wiped Nianci's lips, her movements soft and careful.
Next, Su Xuan took Nianci's temperature every now and then and observed her condition. She paid close attention to Nianci's every subtle reaction, afraid of missing any detail.
To make Nianci more comfortable, Su Xuan gently massaged her arms and shoulders with soft and soothing movements. As she massaged, she whispered, "Baby, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just tell Mommy."
Nianci nodded slightly and gently closed her eyes. Su Xuan quietly stayed by her side, her gaze never leaving Nianci. She silently prayed in her heart, hoping that Nianci would get better soon.
Time passed slowly amidst tension and worry. Su Xuan remained by Nianci's side, offering her meticulous care and attention. Every gesture and every glance was filled with her deep love for Nianci.
Su Xuan sat by the hospital bed, her eyes fixed on Nianci's pale face, her heart clenching. She reached out and gently brushed away the sweat-dampened hair from Nianci's forehead; the strands clung to her fingers, as if conveying Nianci's vulnerability. Su Xuan's gaze was filled with heartache and self-reproach as she murmured, "Baby, Mommy's here, don't be afraid."
Nianci slightly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with helplessness and exhaustion. She weakly called out, "Mommy," her voice so faint it was almost inaudible. Su Xuan quickly leaned forward, bringing her ear close to Nianci's lips and gently taking her hand. The hand was so cold it made Su Xuan's heart clench. "Baby, you'll get better, don't worry," Su Xuan whispered comfortingly, her eyes filled with determination.
Nianci slightly parted her chapped lips, trying to force a smile, but the smile appeared incredibly weak. She silently thought to herself, "Mom is so busy, and she still has to take care of me. I must get better quickly." She turned her eyes slightly, looking at her mother's busy figure, her heart filled with guilt.
Su Xuan got up, picked up the thermos, poured a glass of warm water, and inserted a straw. Then she carefully helped Nianci up, held the glass to Nianci's lips, and said gently, "Here, baby, drink some water."
Nianci slightly parted her lips, gently took the straw into her mouth, and slowly sipped the water. The water flowed down her throat with a soft gurgling sound. Su Xuan looked at Nianci's chapped lips, her brows furrowing even more. She dipped a cotton swab in warm water and gently wiped Nianci's lips, her movements gentle and careful, as if she were protecting a fragile treasure.
Next, Su Xuan took Nianci's temperature every few minutes. She picked up the thermometer, shook it gently, and then carefully placed it under Nianci's armpit, pressing down on Nianci's arm to prevent it from slipping. Each wait made her heart race. When she took out the thermometer and saw the number on it, she frowned, her eyes filled with worry.
To make Nianci more comfortable, Su Xuan gently massaged her arms and shoulders. Her hands moved slowly along Nianci's arms, her fingers gently pressing the muscles with just the right amount of pressure. As she massaged, she whispered, "Baby, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just tell Mommy."
Nianci nodded slightly and gently closed her eyes. Su Xuan felt a pang of pain in her heart as she looked at Nianci with her eyes closed. She gently leaned down and kissed Nianci's forehead, then continued to stay by the bedside, her gaze never leaving Nianci for a moment.
Nianci closed her eyes, her heart filled with fear and unease. She was afraid her condition would worsen, afraid her mother would be overworked because of her. She prayed silently, "I hope I can get better soon, so Mom won't have to work so hard." She moved her lips slightly, wanting to tell her mother how she felt, but afraid of worrying her mother, she swallowed her words.
Su Xuan seemed to sense Nianci's unease. She gently held Nianci's hand and said softly, "Baby, don't be afraid, Mommy will always be with you."
Nianci opened her eyes slightly and felt a warmth in her heart when she saw her mother's concerned gaze. She nodded slightly and whispered, "Mom, I'll be good." Su Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, baby, you should rest well, you'll get better soon."
Time passed slowly amidst tension and worry. Su Xuan stayed by Nianci's side the entire time, not daring to leave her for a moment. She carefully observed Nianci's every subtle reaction, not missing a single detail. She knew that she had to do her best to take good care of Nianci and help her recover quickly.
Under Su Xuan's meticulous care, Nianci's condition gradually improved. When Nianci was finally able to sit up and a long-lost smile appeared on her face, Su Xuan was filled with relief.
On the day of discharge, sunlight streamed down the hospital corridor as Su Xuan led Nianci out of the hospital. Nianci looked up at her mother, her eyes filled with dependence and gratitude.
Su Xuan squatted down and gently pinched Nianci's nose, saying, "Baby, you have to take good care of yourself from now on, and don't make Mommy worry anymore." Nianci nodded vigorously and said, "Mommy, I will be careful from now on."
Back home, Su Xuan prepared a cozy room for Nianci. She placed Nianci's favorite toy by the bedside and arranged fresh flowers in the room. Looking at everything in the room, Nianci happily said, "Mommy, I love it here." Su Xuan smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
In the days that followed, Su Xuan always made time to spend with Nianci outside of work. They read, drew, and played games together, spending many happy times together. Su Xuan also taught Nianci some life skills, helping her learn to take care of herself.
As time went by, Nianci grew up healthily. Her personality became more cheerful, and her academic performance improved. Su Xuan watched Nianci grow, her heart filled with joy.
Su Xuan also channeled this love for her family into her work, and her factory flourished. Her employees, sensing her care for her family, worked even harder. Su Xuan not only achieved success in her career but also earned the respect and affection of those around her.
In this warm family, Su Xuan and Nian Ci accompany and support each other. They have experienced the ups and downs of life together and reaped abundant happiness. In the days to come, they will continue to walk hand in hand to create an even better life.
