705 Balance
They looked so civilized, even when the restlessness was quite palpable in their eyes.
Nurse 1: "I feel blessed today. I have never seen so many beautiful people in one place."
Nurse 2: "Aiyo! I can't believe even my Film Emperor Han is here as well. Now, I can rest in peace."
Nurse 3: "You all continue to focus on pretty faces and celebrities. Do you even realize what's the identity of these people?"
Nurse 1 with a confused look on her face: "No. Why?"
Nurse 3 sighed out: "It's useless talking to you both."
Nurse 2: "By the way, who exactly are they all here for? Which diety brought these masters and mistresses to gather here?"
Nurse 1: "Oh, I know. It's a pregnant woman. She suffered some kind of mental breakdown because of some serious stimulation that's why her vitals were quite crazy. It took hours to get her condition to normal. But, currently, she is sleeping peacefully."
Meanwhile, the masters and mistresses all had their own thoughts running amok. But none of them seemed willing to show a slight crack in their expressions.
Ying had long taken off her high heels and continued to pace around barefoot until the ever so ready Han Bohai put a pair of slippers before her feet and even helped her in wearing it. Ying also didn't say anything to him and wore the slippers. Han Bohai was happy to see that she didn't start any argument here.
On the side, Ah-Si was holding Ava as she slept peacefully and Nora continued to pat Jackie who seemed very restless. Cali was silently staring into space with a blank look. Xiao Li, however, had a grave look on his face.
"Mr. Salvay, you can't leave like this!"
"Let me go!"
"But you just woke up. You shouldn't be doing this."
"I don't care. I have to see my wife."
Everyone's eyes shifted when they heard that voice. Looking over they could see Darren rushing over with a bandage around his head. Behind him, a nurse and a doctor continued to try and pull him back but he didn't listen.
He even seemed to stagger, ? there was even blood dripping down his hand; apparently, he had pulled out his IV without any care. He looked completely disoriented as he came to stand outside Xiu's door.
Xiao Li moved up to help him and said, "Can't you rest? The doctors are even running after you."
Darren looked up at the blurry image of Xiao Li and forced out a smile, "I'm good. I just need to see her. I need to know if she is fine."
"I still have to see her, " stressed Darren without paying heed to any of them.
"Don't be stubborn, ? Regi! If Xiu saw you like this, she won't be happy."
Darren's eyes dimmed, "Then she needs to get better and tell me herself to go and rest. I'd listen to anything she says."
It was obvious he didn't plan on listening to any of them. He really was being stubborn. How could he not? He knew nothing about how his wife was. He just needed to see a smile from his Happy Pill to get better.
When the doctor came out of Xiu's room, ? everyone's attention shifted to her. Even the doctor was taken aback with so many eyes on her. She took a deep breath and asked, "Which one of you is family?"
"We all are, " came the reply.
The doctor cleared her throat and asked again, "I mean who is the husband?"
"Me! That's me!" Darren hurriedly raised his hand."How's my wife?"
The doctor looked at Darren's condition and her brows furrowed, "Who allowed you to roam around carelessly when you've hurt yourself? Where is your attending doctor?"
Darren smiled sheepishly, ? "It's not their fault. I ran away myself. I needed to see how is my wife. So, please let me know."
The doctor was quiet for a while before she said, "Come inside with me."
Darren didn't hesitate before hurriedly following her inside the room. The doctor made him sit and said in derision, ? "I see you both husband and wife have something in common." Darren was confused as she added, "You both are very careless about your health."
Darren could only lower his head and stay quiet. He usually would care about his health but right now, he couldn't do that.
"Your wife is pregnant, you know that?" Darren nodded his head."And yet you let her get this stimulated? Do you know what effect this can have on the baby? Her mental condition is dangerous to both her and the baby."
"I know, " he said in a soft voice.
"I think you don't know. When she was brought here, her blood pressure was dangerously high. If this persists, it's very easy for her to have a miscarriage."
Darren's heart trembled, "Is she okay?"
"For now, she is fine, " replied the doctor.
Darren heaved a sigh of relief.
"But you can not be this lucky again, " warned the doctor.
Darren bit his lips and nodded his head, "I agree. We can never be this lucky again." His hands clenched into tight fists. He really shouldn't have listened to Xiu and stayed out of it all. It was just like how she once said, he always gave in to her. He really needed to learn to say no to her.
It wasn't his fault that he just wanted to give her everything he couldn't in her previous life. But apparently, him always giving in was also as much hurting as him not giving anything. He really had to find a balance.
