Shu Pan wanted to sit up but Gu Shaoting stopped her.
âItâs better if you lie in bed and rest. We canât be more careful.â Gu Shaoting was so shocked that he almost had a heart attack.
âAlright.â Shu Pan saw his nervous expression and knew that he was worried.
âDonât scare me like that.â Gu Shaoting couldnât help but shiver at the thought of her fall.
âUm, is your leg fully recovered? âShu Pan suddenly remembered.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Only then did Gu Shaoting remember that he wasnât in a wheelchair or using a walking stick.
âIt seems so. But I still canât stand for too long. I was too anxious just now to mind it. Now that I remember, my legs hurt a little.â
âYouâve just started walking without any support. Take your time to get used to it. Donât stand or walk too long at one go.â Shu Pan reminded him.
Gu Shaoting nodded. The two of them chatted for a long time.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Then, the door was opened.
Song Can walked in with a thermos flask and a bag.
Shu Pan was a little stunned; she couldnât understand what was going on.
She didnât expect Song Can to come here carrying things.
She didnât know what to say. She opened her mouth but closed it quickly.
âShu Pan, how are you? Are you still in pain?â Song Can asked with a little embarrassment as she put the things down.
âIâm okay, Mom.â Shu Pan replied.
âShu Pan, Iâm really sorry. I didnât do it on purpose.â Song Can apologized sincerely to Shu Pan.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy and afraid she felt.
âMom, I know you didnât mean it. It was an accident. I was careless when I walked. Donât blame yourself.â Shu Pan said quickly when she saw Song Can apologize over and over again.
âThank you for not blaming me.â Song Can thought that Shu Pan would complain to Gu Shaoting and blame her.
It turned out that she was just being petty.
âI asked Auntie Li to make porridge and soup for you. Have some.â Song Can opened the thermos flask.
âSure. Iâm feeling a little hungry too.â Shu Pan smiled shyly.
âPerfect.â Song Can happily served Shu Pan a bowl of soup and a bowl of porridge.
Seeing this, Gu Shaoting took the porridge, blew on it gently, and fed it to Shu Pan spoon by spoon.
âIâll do it myself.â Shu Pan felt a little embarrassed and blushed slightly under everyoneâs watchful eyes.
âIâll feed you.â Gu Shaoting helped Shu Pan up and sat her against the headboard.
So, Shu Pan ate the porridge that Gu Shaoting fed her.
Song Can couldnât help but smile in satisfaction as she watched Shu Pan eat a small bowl of porridge and drank the soup.
Seeing that it was getting late, she did not want to disturb Shu Pan and went home.
âWhy donât you go home too? Iâll call the nurse if I need anything.â Shu Pan would rather let Gu Shaoting rest since his leg had just gotten better.
âItâs fine. Iâll just squeeze in with you later.â How could Gu Shaoting feel at ease if he left Shu Pan alone at the hospital?
âOuch.â Shu Pan suddenly cried out, scaring Gu Shaoting so much that his face changed.
âWhatâs wrong?â Gu Shaoting asked nervously. âAre you in pain again?â
âNo, no. The baby kicked me.â Shu Pan replied coquettishly. Fetal movements were more frequent in the third trimester.
âBaby, baby, be good. Donât torment your mother or I will spank you when you are out.â Gu Shaoting suddenly leaned in and said to Shu Panâs belly.
Shu Pan found it funny. âWill you bear to spank our baby? Are you sure he can even hear you?â
âIf itâs a boy, yes. But if itâs a girl, I canât.â Gu Shaoting answered seriously.
âHmph, you prefer girls over boys.â Shu Pan snorted disdainfully.
âBoy or girl, I love our kids.â Gu Shaotingâs eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
