Chapter 275 Nemesis
Wu Fei opened her eyes, the pain almost knocked her out.
She wished she hadn't woken up.
Yet she saw someone sitting in the chair beside her bed.
"Ouch..."
Wu Fei couldn't hold back.
Jiang Xiaoxiao lifted her head. She had been nodding off earlier, almost falling asleep.
Song Moting had gone to buy breakfast and came back to switch with Jiang Xiaoxiao, who needed to check on Jia Shu.
Fortunately, Jia Shu and Wu Fei were in the same hospital.
Otherwise, it would take a lot of time running back and forth.
"You're awake?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't bring herself to speak loudly to Wu Fei.
This girl is just a bit melodramatic. There's nothing wrong with loving someone, but her intentions are not right.
It's not a sin beyond redemption.
She's not to the point of hurling abusive words.
Wu Fei was stunned to see Jiang Xiaoxiao, then the overwhelming pain hit her.
"You... why are you here? Where's Brother Jin?"
She remembered telling the doctor about Jin Dachuan and Song Moting.
How did Jiang Xiaoxiao end up here?
She didn't want to see Jiang Xiaoxiao. For the first time in her life, she was slapped by a woman; she held a grudge.
Could it be that Brother Jin really didn't even want to see her?
So heartless?
The heartbreak coupled with the pain made tears instantly fall.
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't bear this; Wu Fei wasn't a bad person, just... ah!
No wonder people call soft-hearted individuals "Holy Mothers"; she seemed to have that potential.
"Your sister-in-law's condition is serious and she's about to give birth, so Brother Jin stayed back to take care of her. Song Moting and I are here to accompany you. We've already called your family; they say your parents are on the way. Even if you can't stand me, you need someone to look after you right now, so you just have to endure it.
Honestly, I don't want to be here either; if there was another way, I wouldn't have come."
Though not to the point of harsh words, she really couldn't be polite to this girl.
Wu Fei wiped her tears, "Seeing me like this, you must be very happy inside, thinking I got what I deserved."
She didn't want Jiang Xiaoxiao to see her vulnerability, and spoke fiercely to maintain her dignity.
Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed, "You really overthink things, don't you? Think about it, you and I have only met once. Together, we haven't even exchanged over 100 words. You don't know me, and I don't know you. The most hostile thing between us is that I slapped you twice.
Seeing you injured, if I took pleasure in your misfortune, I think I wouldn't be a normal person. We don't have that deep of a vendetta, not enough for me to clap my hands when seeing you hurt."
This girl really overthought; she didn't hate her to that extent.
Wu Fei was so angry she wanted to get up, but any movement tugged at her wound, making her face pale with pain.
Jiang Xiaoxiao quickly called a doctor; she could take care of this girl, but the problem was the girl wouldn't let her see her wound.
She estimated whatever she said, the other would definitely do the opposite.
Afraid she'd think she's adding insult to injury.
After the doctor checked her out, "It's alright, the wound isn't a big deal. Just don't move around too much and tear the wound. There's really nothing wrong. Also, after surgery, you need to pass gas within 24 hours. If possible, help her walk slowly along the corridor; walking can help her pass gas faster.
Otherwise, she can't drink water or eat, and it's too much to bear."
The doctor absolutely meant well.
Jiang Xiaoxiao saw the doctor off and watched Wu Fei stubbornly grip the bed rail, trying to sit up on her own.
Unfortunately, she was sweating from the pain.
What a stubborn girl.
Where did she get such a temper?
Jiang Xiaoxiao went up to support her.
"Don't throw a fit at me now. If you push me away and tear your wound, you'll have to get stitches again, think it through. This isn't a time to be angry, relying on yourself? Can you walk down the hallway?"
You could feel this girl was stubbornly trying to push her away; she wasn't afraid of being pushed away, it would just be embarrassing for her.
But the one who'd suffer would be this girl,
Jiang Xiaoxiao had never seen someone so concerned with saving face.
Wu Fei's movements slowed, her strength eased considerably.
"Alright, let me help you up."
Jiang Xiaoxiao used a clever method to help her up.
Actually, because the wound hurt so much, there was no such thing as a pain relief stick after surgery at this point.
After the anesthesia wore off, it was entirely up to the patient to bear it.
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew she was in great pain, but there was no solution now. Didn't you see that just a bit of movement turned her face pale, her whole body almost resting on Jiang Xiaoxiao?
Inwardly, she rolled her eyes; this girl was stubborn.
No wonder she was so fixated on loving Jin Dachuan, not giving up even after he got married.
Look at that temperament, typical of "saving face even if it kills you", clearly hurting like this, yet maintaining her dignity in front of her.
Biting her lip, not making a sound.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't point it out.
She supported her on her shoulder, helping her slowly walk along the corridor.
At first, Wu Fei was in unbearable pain but realized Jiang Xiaoxiao was bearing most of her body weight, and she actually felt some guilt.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't owe her anything; though she slapped her twice, to be honest, the things she said at the time deserved a beating.
If she were in the same place, she would've gone up and slapped this woman twice too.
What she said wasn't something a person would say, speaking such agitating words to a pregnant woman.
Wasn't she afraid the pregnant woman would be overstrained?
Does that still count as human?
In truth, Jiang Xiaoxiao did nothing wrong.
Look at her now, taking care of her, Jiang Xiaoxiao, though tall, had a slender frame.
Their heights weren't less than each other, to be honest, but her weight was much more than Jiang Xiaoxiao's.
For most of it, her body weight was pressing on Jiang Xiaoxiao's, and one could see the sweat on Jiang Xiaoxiao's forehead.
Helping her slowly move in the corridor, not giving up at all, and being very careful with the strength.
Didn't make her feel more pain at all.
This Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn't bad at heart.
But she had a sharp tongue.
"Where's Song Moting?"
Wu Fei felt that Jiang Xiaoxiao, a woman in the hospital taking care of her, while Song Moting was nowhere to be found, was disgraceful.
She thought Song Moting was narrow-minded.
"Alright, put that grudge away. Song Moting stayed outside the operating room with me all night. Just went out for breakfast in the morning. He'll be back to switch with me. My friend is also in this hospital, just in this hospital, and I'll go see her later.
As for comrades, they couldn't ignore you the moment they heard the news, that was already quite gracious. Both Song Moting and Jin Dachuan were good enough. Don't take others taking care of you for granted; no one owes you anything."
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at her expression and knew what the girl was thinking.
This girl must have been brought up in a well-to-do family to have this attitude.
Wu Fei blushed, having her secret thoughts exposed, and retorted stubbornly.
"Stop talking nonsense; I wasn't thinking that."
"Better not be. If you really thought that, that'd make you an ingrate."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was good at retorts.
Wu Fei glared, wondering if this woman was determined to aggravate her to death?
This was her nemesis.
