Chapter 426 Discharge and go home
Xue'er's injuries were mainly fractures, and the surgeries were minimally invasive. Originally, she could go home to recuperate after staying in the hospital for two or three days for observation, but Bai Chen insisted that she stay in the hospital for a full week.
With Liu's mother's care, Bai Chen felt more at ease. He went to work during the day and came to the ward to accompany Xueer after get off work.
After a week of getting along, Liu's mother was quite satisfied with Bai Chen, but she was not confident in her own vision. After all, her marriage life was a mess, and she could not go back to her parents' home. She had been struggling with her daughter for so many years. She thought that all the hard work would pay off, but she was deceived. She really felt that her life had no meaning. Now the only person she couldn't let go was Xue'er. If she had someone who loved her, she would be at ease to leave.
Early in the morning, Bai Chen completed the discharge procedures. Xue'er said excitedly, "I can finally be discharged. I don't want to come here again."
"That can't be done. You have to come back for a recheck." Bai Chen said.
"That's not a big deal. As long as I don't have to stay here, it's fine." Xue'er said with a smile. She was in an inexplicably good mood after being discharged from the hospital today.
Bai Chen was also very happy to see Xue'er's excitement. His baby had indeed suffered a lot in the past few days and was in pain all the time. He felt so distressed seeing this. After a week, the pain was finally relieved a lot, so he decided to discharge her from the hospital.
"Don't think that everything will be OK after you are discharged from the hospital. You still have to stay at home for three months. Be careful not to get hurt." Bai Chen poured a basin of cold water on her, and Xue'er immediately wilted.
"Ah! It takes so long! How can I survive if I don't work?" Xue'er is used to being self-reliant and has taken on the responsibility of supporting the family very early. Even when she was sick in the past, she was reluctant to take leave. Now asking her to rest for three months without any income is like cutting her flesh.
"Silly girl, you've already received your salary, why are you still worrying about those things? Anyway, if you don't make ends meet, forget about working again." Bai Chen said, touching Xue'er's hair.
"How can that be possible? I wouldn't feel at ease with the money I get without working, and I dare not spend it." Xue'er said. Although she and her mother have lived a hard life over the years, they know that it is wrong to get something for nothing.
"Why not? I'm your boyfriend and future husband. It's only natural for you to spend my money. And now I'm your employer. Whatever I say is okay, it's okay. Let's go home and recuperate." After Bai Chen finished speaking, he picked up Xue'er and walked out.
When Liu's mother heard Bai Chen's words, she was shocked. "What a domineering statement! But it also warms my heart. It seems that Xue'er has finally gotten her wish. I should be relieved."
Bai Chen held Xue'er in his arms, and Liu's mother followed closely with something in her hand. Bai Chen carefully put Xue'er into the car, then turned around and took the thing from Liu's mother's hand.
"Auntie, please get in the car first! I'll let you go."
"Okay." After saying that, Liu's mother got into the car. She looked at her daughter's rosy face, then at the handsome Bai Chen, and a motherly smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
Bai Chen put the things in the trunk and drove away from the hospital. Liu's mother thought that Bai Chen was sending them back home, so she said, "Xue'er, ask your boyfriend to take us to the vegetable market first! No one has been home these few days, and the vegetables we stored are probably spoiled. Let's go buy some vegetables first!"
"Okay, Chen, did you hear that?" Xueer said.
"No need, I filled the refrigerator yesterday. You and Auntie don't have to worry about these." Bai Chen replied.
"Filled? When did you get the key to my house? Mom, did you give it to him?" Xue'er asked puzzledly.
Liu's mother also shook her head in confusion, indicating no.
"Silly girl, how can I have the key to your house? I never planned to send you back there. I'm worried, so come and live at my place!" Bai Chen said.
"That's too embarrassing! You've been helping us so much, it's already been great enough, how can we go any further?" Liu's mother said evasively.
"Auntie, you are too polite. Xue'er is my girlfriend, and I should do anything for her. Besides, considering her current condition, I really don't feel comfortable letting her live there." Bai Chen advised.
"Okay then! Xue'er will go back with you. I'll go home too!" When Liu's mother thought about her daughter being used as collateral for debt by that father at home, she felt a little scared.
"Mom, who will take care of me if you leave? Bai Chen has to go to work during the day, so why don't I go home with you?" Xue'er said coquettishly.
In fact, she didn't really need her mother to take care of her. Although her mother looked normal in the hospital these days, she would suffer from insomnia, become dazed, and even cry for no reason every night. Xue'er knew that her mother might be ill and was just putting on a brave face in front of her. Her father had dealt her too great a blow, and she was worried that something might happen to her mother living alone.
Mother Liu thought about it and was indeed a little worried about her daughter, so she asked Bai Chen again: "Will that cause you trouble?"
"No, Auntie, just treat it as your own home and don't think too much about it." Bai Chen said.
"Okay, I'll bother you then."
Bai Chen drove into the community and arrived downstairs at his own building. Mother Liu looked at the high-end facilities, neat greenery, and beautiful garden area, and couldn't help but remember that her family used to live in such a high-end garden community, but because of her stubbornness and rebellion, she lost her parents who loved her the most, and ended up in poverty today...
Bai Chen parked the car, carried Xue'er upstairs and went home. As soon as she got home, Xue'er felt that she had not been here for a long time. This time, she almost could not come back forever. At the moment of facing danger, she missed Bai Chen so much and missed every moment they spent here.
Bai Chen put Xue'er on the sofa and said, "Baby, you and auntie sit down and rest for a while. I'll get you some water and clean up a room for you later."
"The child doesn't need it. Xue'er and I can just live in one room so that it's more convenient for me to take care of her." Mother Liu said quickly after hearing this.
"Yes! Don't bother, Chen, just let mom and I live in the same room." Xue'er also said.
"Okay then! Auntie, just treat this place as your own home. By the way, just call me Xiaochen from now on. That's what the elders in my family call me."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Then the three of them started to get busy. Xue'er was really bored during these days in the hospital. Although Bai Chen booked a VIP ward with all the facilities, it was a hospital after all. Being in such a small space every day, the smell of disinfectant filled her nose, which was really unpleasant.
It's great to be home. Bai Chen even prepared an automatic wheelchair for Xue'er to move around when he's not at home. Seeing how Bai Chen takes care of Xue'er, Liu's mother feels more relieved. It seems that her daughter will be happy...
