Chapter 101: He Peng Woke Up

After a night of infusions, He Peng’s fever finally subsided in the wee hours of the morning.

He finally woke up from his state of delirium and sleeptalking.

Fang Ya used a small handkerchief to wipe the sweat off He Peng’s forehead.

He Peng slowly opened his eyes and looked at Fang Ya in front of him. “Mommy…”

Fang Ya stretched out her hand and gently stroked He Peng’s forehead. “Mommy is here, Little Peng. It’s okay.”

He Peng’s gaze swept across the room. After a moment, he returned to Fang Ya. “Mmm…”

He Peng’s tone had a hint of disappointment.

Fang Ya knew that He Peng had wanted to see his biological parents by his side.

However, He Feng was still busy with work, while Lu Ping…

Fang Ya interrupted her thoughts and smiled at He Peng. “Little Peng, be good. The doctor said that we can go home after you finish the infusion.”

“Okay!” He Peng replied obediently and slowly closed his eyes.

Fang Ya did not disturb him anymore. Instead, she went out to buy some food.

Wu Wei left at dawn because he had to go to work.

At that moment, Fang Ya was the only one taking care of He Peng.

Although her body had not fully recovered, she would not allow herself to collapse during such a time.

After buying the food and returning to the ward, Fang Ya found that Shao Xiang had already come over with Tang Tang.

Fang Ya put the things away and picked up Tang Tang who was rushing towards her.

“Mom, why are you here?” Fang Ya looked at Shao Xiang in confusion.

“Tang Tang didn’t see you this morning, so she kept asking for you,” Shao Xiang said softly, afraid that she would disturb He Peng’s rest.

“I thought that you hadn’t fully recovered yet, so I stayed here for another night, so I came over to see if there was anything I could help you with.” Shao Xiang said as she pulled Fang Ya to sit on a chair at the side.

“How is He Peng? Is he alright?” Shao Xiang looked worriedly at He Peng, who had fallen asleep again, and asked.

“He’s fine! Acute gastroenteritis.” Fang Ya briefly explained He Peng’s condition.

“The doctor said that the infusion contains ingredients that can help him sleep. It can help him rest well and recover his strength.” Fang Ya continued to explain, in case Shao Xiang was worried.

“That’s good, that’s good.” Shao Xiang was finally relieved.

“I brought some porridge over. Eat it while it’s hot!” Shao Xiang said as she took out a lunchbox from her small cloth bag.

Fang Ya looked at the porridge that was still piping hot, and her eyes were wet again.

She scooped the porridge gently with a spoon. After a long while, she said, “Mom, thank you!”

Shao Xiang quickly said cheerfully, “What are you thanking me for! It’s my duty!”

Fang Ya raised her head and looked at Shao Xiang. “I mean, thank you for taking care of me at the hospital, all those years back.”

When Shao Xiang heard that, she looked at Fang Ya in surprise. “How did you know?”

Fang Ya shook her head and smiled.

Shao Xiang clapped her hands. “It must be that big-mouthed Wu Wei.”

Fang Ya looked at Shao Xiang with some heartache. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Shao Xiang looked at Fang Ya and sighed. She stretched out a hand and gently held Fang Ya’s hand. “Child, it’s hard to be a stepmother!”

Fang Ya looked at Shao Xiang and the tears in her eyes slowly rolled down.

Tang Tang saw Fang Ya crying and quickly stretched out her hand to gently wipe Fang Ya’s tears. “Mommy, don’t cry!”

Fang Ya smiled and held Tang Tang’s hand. “Good girl. I’m happy.”

Shao Xiang looked at Fang Ya. After a moment, he said, “Cherish He Feng. He is really a good man.”

“He Peng is also worthy of your love!” Shao Xiang said as she looked at He Peng on the bed again.

“I know!” Fang Ya smiled.

“They will all become very outstanding men!”Fang Ya said confidently.

Shao Xiang looked at Fang Ya and the smile on his face deepened. “I wish you the best!”

It was almost afternoon when He Peng woke up again.

After starving for a day, he felt that he could almost eat an entire roast chicken.

However, the doctor warned them, saying that He Peng could not eat anything too oily at the moment.

What awaited him was only a bowl of clear porridge and a bowl of side dishes.

He Peng looked at the white and desolate dishes in front of him, and his small face almost fell on the table.

Fang Ya smiled as she watched He Peng reluctantly eat the porridge one mouthful at a time. Then, she took out a small bag from her small bag.

“Look, what’s this!” Fang Ya handed one of the small packages to He Peng.

When He Peng saw it, his eyes immediately lit up and he said excitedly, “It’s a biscuit!”
