He stood up. He smiled and wanted to make amends, but he felt guilty, so he didn't dare to go forward. "Xiaowei, you're here. After you left, your mother woke up and talked to me for more than an hour before falling asleep again. I was afraid that she would get angry and it would affect her condition, so I didn't tell her anything that happened during this period."
Tang Xiaowei's expression was natural. "Dad, I've rested for a day and my nerves have almost recovered. Let me guard mom tonight. You go home and take a shower and sleep well. Don't worry, I won't say anything carelessly when mom wakes up."
Tang Qingxuan was still worried, but after all, he had stayed by his wife's side in the hospital for a very long time. He had never had a good rest or a good shower, so he thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll go home and take a shower and rest for a while. I'll come back tomorrow morning. I'll bring you breakfast when I come over. What do you want to eat?" Tang Qingxuan looked at Tang Xiaowei carefully.
After the previous incident, there was always a gap between the father and daughter. He had indeed let down his daughter, so he didn't know how to face her right now.
Tang Xiaowei did not want to make things difficult for her father, so she casually mentioned her favorite rice noodles. Tang Qingxuan nodded and left the hospital.
After Tang Qingxuan left, Tang Xiaowei lay down on the other family bed beside her mother's hospital bed and turned her head to look in her mother's direction.
Her once gentle and beautiful mother had become paler and thinner due to the torture of her illness.
She had not seen her mother during this period of time, so she actually missed her very much. However, because of her father, there was always a gap in her heart, so now she only dared to look at her mother, but she did not dare to go up and hug her.
She knew in her heart that she still loved her mother, but she could no longer be as close to her parents as she used to be.
She looked at her mother, Ning Xintian, for a long time until Ning Xintian slowly opened her eyes and woke up. She could not help but jump off the bed and rushed to her mother's side. She grabbed her hand and asked happily, "Mom, are you really awake?"
When Ning Xintian saw that it was her daughter, Tang Xiaowei, her listless eyes suddenly lit up.
She also grabbed Tang Xiaowei's hand tightly, and tears quickly filled her eyes. She sobbed, "Xiaowei, mommy finally saw you. I haven't seen you since the surgery. Your father said that you went to your classmate's house to do your homework and didn't have time to come over. Mommy didn't dare to call you, but I really missed you."
"Mommy, I missed you too." Tang Xiaowei broke down. She hugged her mother, and tears flowed out of her eyes.
Ning Xintian only thought that her daughter had gone out to do her homework with her classmates. She didn't blame her for not coming to see her. She just felt that she missed her daughter very much.
The estrangement and grudge in Tang Xiaowei's heart were slowly erased by her mother's warmth. Her heart also gradually warmed up.
The mother and daughter chatted for a long time. In the end, Ning Xintian felt tired and slowly fell asleep. Tang Xiaowei sat in front of her mother's hospital bed and guarded her mother.
It was early in the morning. The sky had just brightened when Tang Qingxuan arrived at the hospital.
When he went back to the Tang family yesterday, he initially thought that there was no nanny at home and that Xiaowei did not know how to clean since she was young. She should not be living uncomfortably, so he prepared to clean up.
However, when he returned to the Tang family, he found that all the rooms in the entire house were like Cheng Liang's. They were all cleaned up and were exactly the same as when there was a nanny cleaning up the house.
During this period of time, he usually didn't go home so he could take care of his wife. The nanny had long been fired. There wouldn't be anyone else cleaning up the house so cleanly except for Xiaowei.
Tang Qingxuan's tears immediately flowed down his face. He felt even more guilty about being forced by Huangfu Qiye to sell Xiaowei. He swore that no matter what happened in the future, even if he went against Huangfu Qiye, he would never do something like selling Xiaowei.
He rested at home for the night and got up very early to make breakfast. He made porridge that his wife could eat. He planned to eat porridge with his wife and then cook rice noodles for his daughter.
At that moment, he pushed open the door and found his daughter obediently lying in the position that he used to lie in. That position was not easy to sleep in, but it was good enough to watch over Ning Xintian on the bed.
He was touched again. Then, he carefully walked forward and put down the breakfast. He walked over quietly and patted his daughter's shoulder. "Xiaowei."
Tang Xiaowei didn't like to stay up late, so she didn't have much experience staying up until the early hours.
Although she had slept for a long time before coming to the hospital yesterday, she fell asleep around midnight.
However, she slept very lightly. When she heard Tang Qingxuan's voice, she woke up very quickly. She stood up and yawned. "Dad, you're here."
"Yes, I brought you some rice noodles and porridge that your mother likes. You should go back and rest after eating the rice noodles. Let me take care of your mother from now on." Tang Qingxuan looked at his daughter gently.
Tang Xiaowei nodded and walked over to bring out the rice noodles and porridge. She handed the porridge to her father, took the rice noodles, found a chair, and sat down to eat quietly.
Although she felt less estranged from her father because of the many conversations between her mother and her last night, she did not know how to face her father.
Tang Qingxuan did not say anything more. He just saw that his wife had not woken up and started eating some porridge on his own.
Tang Xiaowei ate the rice noodles and realized that the taste of the rice noodles was still as good as her father's used to be. She felt that her nose was a little sore, and her head lowered even more.
After eating the rice noodles, Ning Xintian still did not wake up. Tang Xiaowei felt that the atmosphere in the ward was too depressing, so she suggested, "Dad, I'll go home first."
Tang Qingxuan nodded. "Okay, you go back and rest first."
Tang Xiaowei walked out of the ward with a depressed mood.
She also left the hospital very quickly.
She only stopped outside the hospital.
Actually, she was not very sleepy now because she had just eaten. And she did not want to take the bus back immediately. The experience of the bus last night had already caused her a lot of pain. She did not want to bear it again, so she decided to walk.
The Tang family did not have much money now. Her father had spent almost all of his savings for her mother's illness, and she used to have some private money, about a hundred thousand yuan. But some time ago, when her mother was sick, she took out all this money and gave it to her father. Now, she had two cards, but one card only had a few dozen yuan on it, and the other card only had a little more than two hundred yuan.
Looking at her father's appearance, he should have been watching her mother every day and not going to work. It was also impossible for him to have any money. If she needed to spend money, she definitely could not ask her father for it.
She was 19 years old now. She was already an adult, so she wanted to find a job while she wasn't in school. She wanted to earn some money so that she wouldn't be penniless.
