Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant! by White Moon Lake

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Awakening the Deaf and Dumb

Cheng Youran could even clearly hear her sigh of relief, as if she had been holding that breath—even during the surgery—not daring to relax until she knew her child was out of danger and could finally ease up a little.

Her eyes, which had previously been open, now seemed too heavy to keep up, and slowly closed again.

"Don’t worry," Cheng Youran gently rubbed the cool palm and back of her hand, "you’ll get better."

"Mmm," Su Lu’s eyes had already closed as she made a sound in acknowledgment from her throat.

It seemed as though she had fallen asleep.

Su Zhe was about to look at her medical records when he heard a weak call from the hospital bed, "...Brother."

Su Zhe didn’t even know if she was awake or not, but he immediately leaned in, hunched over the bedside hurriedly responding, "Brother is here."

"Mmm..." Su Lu’s corners of her mouth curled down slightly, showing a rare expression of grievance.

She rarely showed her vulnerability in front of Su Zhe, and her instances of acting spoiled were few, probably because she always understood that a bond with a biological sibling was different, always distanced.

But in this moment, perhaps it was the anesthesia, or perhaps the surgery, that had worn down her resolve, making her expression of grievance so apparent.

Su Lu pursed her lips lightly, and though her eyes were closed, large tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, "...Brother, it hurts."

That single sentence, like a soft hand, gently yet firmly pinched Su Zhe’s heart, leaving a sour and swollen feeling that spread inside him with a dull ache.

Su Zhe’s eyes instantly filled with tears, "Be good, be good. Brother is here, just bear with it a little longer, okay? The dosage of anesthetics and painkillers need to be strictly controlled to minimize the risk to the embryonic development..."

Actually, Su Zhe wasn’t certain whether Su Lu could understand him in her current state. He just couldn’t bear to hear her speak so pitifully; his heart ached so much that he spoke that long string of words, regardless of whether she could understand.

Teacher Zhou Weizhen also felt that Su Lu, in her current state, probably couldn’t understand all of that.

But unexpectedly, she nodded very lightly, and then, the look of grievance disappeared from her face, and she didn’t cry out in pain again.
