Chapter 271 The Past Is Like Smoke
When they arrived at the hospital, Bai Yiyi immediately gave first aid.
At first, the nurse wouldn't let Jiang Xiaoxiao see her because Jiang Xiaoxiao was not a family member of the patient and knew nothing about the patient.
The Children's Welfare Home has been notified and someone is taking over administrative work.
What they did was reasonable and even well-intentioned, but they couldn't deal with Jiang Xiaoxiao.
She was so stubborn that not even the police could touch her unless she saw the child.
In the end, the tired nurses lost to her strong will and agreed to let her go into the small ward to visit Bai Yiyi.
As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao saw the child, he knew why he cared about her so much.
Not only was she dying of illness, but also because of her obvious defensive attitude. Many things about Bai Yiyi strongly reminded her of herself. She could not ignore Bai Yiyi, just as she could not ignore her own child.
He could do his best for his stepson and stepdaughter Jiang Xiaoxiao, but there was nothing Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't do for a homeless child.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes glanced at the child lying silently on the hospital bed. Her eyelids were closed tightly and she was breathing hard.
The fever flushed her high cheekbones.
Her right hand was pinned to the side of the bed to facilitate an IV drip, and another bag beside the bed measured her urine output.
Jiang Xiaoxiao walked towards the bed, her attention focused on the sick and helpless girl on the white sheets.
She gently placed her cool hand on her forehead and smoothed her hair.
"You're going to be okay," she whispered. "I promise."
Bai Yiyi struggled to open her heavy eyelids, and Jiang Xiaoxiao looked into a pair of bright black eyes. The outer edges of the eyes were sky blue, clean and pure.
At a loss, Bai Yiyi first focused on Jiang Xiao's face, then she glanced at the doctors, nurses, and welfare home staff wearing work clothes. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She tried to sit up, but She was so weak that she couldn't even lift her hands.
Jiang Xiaoxiao moved to the other side of Bai Yiyi, "Don't be afraid," she said quietly, "You are in the hospital now."
Then, as if guessing the girl's deepest nightmare, she added.
"I won't let anyone take you away."
Those bright eyes stared at her face. Perhaps it was Jiang's small appearance that finally calmed her down.
Like an alert wild animal, Bai Yiyi gradually relaxed and drifted into sleep.
When Bai Yiyi's condition improved, Jiang Xiaoxiao also started to take action.
She was determined not to let the girl who still hadn't confided her story to them be taken to the orphanage, not even for a day.
She used her own influence through personal connections, and a patient she saved at that time helped her.
Besides, there is no difference if the orphanage has one more child or one less child.
Her persistence and tenacity finally paid off.
When Bai Yiyi was approved to be discharged from the hospital, she followed Jiang Xiaoxiao home.
Although she has not yet developed friendship or trust, Bai Yiyi is gradually getting used to Jiang Xiaoxiao and the children at home.
She would answer their questions and her answers would be brief, but she would never actually talk to them.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was not discouraged.
From the beginning, she simply regarded her as her own child, and soon, she did so.
The usually lonely girl was suddenly thrust into a large, relaxed family where, for the first time in her life, she could sleep under a roof every night, have her own room, and have a belly full of food.
She has clothes hanging in the closet and new shoes on her feet.
She was still weak and unable to share the household chores that everyone was doing, but Jiang Xiaoxiao began to guide her in her studies. Since she was about the same age as her stepdaughter Zhang Xin, she supervised her studies and brought her to The same level as Zhang Xin.
Bai Yiyi's desire for books is like a hungry puppy seeing food. She puts books within easy reach.
Those shrewd, cautious eyes were alert to the subtle changes in this family relationship, measuring the difference between what she saw and what she had known before.
Finally she relaxed enough to disarm and tell Jiang Xiaoxiao that her name was Bai Yiyi.
Bai Yiyi's relationship with every member of her family is quite complicated.
She wanted to stay away from Jiang Xiaoxiao but couldn't. She treated her like a mother, just like she took care of other children, which frightened her but happily immersed in her loving care. .
Like a big sister or a teacher, Bai Yiyi gradually got used to it and made her realize that there was nothing to be afraid of. Jiang Xiaoxiao gave her respect, friendship, and finally love.
At first, Bai Yiyi slowly learned how family members interacted and how the back-and-forth conversations made people blend together, and then she began to feel more at ease.
Zhang Xin's teasing will still irritate her, but it will also make her laugh more easily than others.
She has a strong learning ability, as if she was born this way.
Regarding medical skills, she has the natural acumen and fatal patience and calmness of a doctor. This child learned all the medical skills from Jiang Xiaoxiao, passed the medical school himself, and became a top doctor.
When she died, the child cried uncontrollably.
Cry like a real child.
Now she couldn't let her go down the same path as her previous life.
Her students should have a better future, at least not be traumatized mentally.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed, and Song Moting looked at his wife.
Jiang Xiaoxiao always sighs by herself. He always has the illusion that Jiang Xiaoxiao is by his side, but there are thousands of mountains and rivers between them.
He really doesn't like this feeling. It makes people feel at a loss.
He thought they were in love and trusted each other, but Jiang Xiaoxiao clearly had something in her heart but didn't say it.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong? Tell me what happened. Maybe I can help you? Are you still worried about the child?"
Song Moting's only guess came from the child just now.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, "Not yet. I am indeed worried about the child. I always feel that I have a good relationship with the child. I hope she can live happily. But now I have to feed your stomach first. Let's go. Brother Jin is probably waiting anxiously."
There is no use in being anxious. Rome was not built in a day.
Being anxious to do things does not mean that you can do them well.
"Xiaoxiao, if there is anything you really need to do, you must tell me, don't keep it to yourself. I am your husband, your man, and someone you can rely on. It is better to share the burden together than to worry alone."
Song Moting didn't want to dwell on this topic. Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force her, he just wanted her to know that he was her backer.
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, "I know, Comrade Song, I will definitely tell you if there is anything, really."
Although I knew I couldn't say it, I was still moved by Song Moting's words. Someone is willing to be your support, this feeling is very warm and heartwarming.
The two went back.
