“The red bean porridge is bought from your favorite store, why did you drink so little?”
“Already ate a lot, can’t really eat anymore.”
Amelia Bright put down the spoon, leaned back on the pillow somewhat weakly, and casually took the bedside magazine and flipped it open.
“You’re feeding me like a pig.”
Danna Keller silently cleared the dishes.
“If pigs ate like you, they would die.”
“Why?”
“No one would buy them if they were too skinny.”
Amelia Bright burst out laughing, causing her belly to throb with pain, “Good, you can tell a joke now?”
Danna Keller was relieved to see that she was in the mood for a good laugh.
“Luckily, the doctor said you don’t have to eat too much, otherwise the baby will be too big to be born, otherwise I would have had to ask you to eat this half bowl.”
“Why are you more nagging than the nanny? When the baby is born later, you will definitely be annoyed.”
“There will be a sister-in-law to take care of the baby, I don’t know how to take care of a baby.”
“I’m not sure about others.”
Danna Keller was still holding half a bowl of red bean porridge in her hand, looking at Amelia Bright with a slightly bewildered gaze.
After tidying up the small dining table on the hospital bed, Danna Keller made the bed on the couch next to her.
Although there was nothing serious in the examination, Amelia Bright had seen red this time, and according to Chinese medicine, she was suffering from a deficiency of Qi and blood, so she had to be hospitalized for a few days for observation, and could only be discharged after all the indicators had returned to normal.
After this incident, Danna Keller did not dare to take it lightly, almost every step of the way, is to go to buy a meal are running back and forth, when the queue is still uneasy must give Amelia Bright a phone call to confirm that she is okay.
“Water is here for you, if you go to the bathroom in the middle of the night you call me.”
“Okay, good night.”
Amelia Bright was so tired of Danna Keller’s nagging that she pulled the light and went to bed.
With the lights off, the ward was still warm from the corridor lights shining in through the windows outside. Every now and then a nurse on duty would walk by, reminding patients in nearby wards to sleep or asking family members to keep their voices down.
The floor gradually quieted down.
In the middle of the night, Amelia Bright lifted the covers and carefully got out of bed, carrying a pair of slippers and walking gingerly towards the door, her hand just touched the door handle when a voice rose from the sofa behind her.
“Where are you going?”
Amelia Bright almost didn’t bite her tongue.
“I thought you were asleep? Why did you wake up when you said you would …”
Danna Keller pulled on the light and her face suddenly changed when she saw her bare feet on the floor.
Under her intent gaze, Amelia Bright put on her shoes in a sheepish manner and confessed honestly, “I didn’t want to do anything, I just wanted to see Halyn.”
The Austin family can’t be in the hospital room 24 hours a day, and even if they are, they can only be Erlina Lee and Aunt Zhou, but I heard that Halyn Austin doesn’t trust anyone except Jay Mo, so with any luck, the only person who will be in bed with her at night is Jay Mo.
This would be the best time to check in.
Danna Keller frowned.
“Do we have to go see it? It won’t do any good, it’ll be harder. I hear she’s in a very bad state of mind.”
“Halyn and I were not on good terms before, I saw her really annoyed, but then time … and I want to know what state she is in, I have friends who are psychiatrists, may be able to help a little.”
She once thought Halyn Austin capricious domineering, but did not think that after the Jay Mo thing, she can still not cynical about her, but also just gambling with her for a while, she likes Jay Mo, from the beginning of the unscrupulous must get, to later try to let go and let him go, but she let go of Jay Mo, but has not been able to let go of himself, always thinking about him.
Erlina Lee is right, if it wasn’t for the fact that Jay Mo had liked herself, maybe she wouldn’t have wanted to study any jewelry design like herself.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
Danna Keller agreed after a few moments of deliberation.
Halyn Austin’s ward was not on the same floor as theirs. Originally, she should have been transferred to the psychiatric ward because of her psychological problems, but probably the Austin family was afraid that word would get out, so they just said that Halyn Austin was out with friends and got hurt, and was still in surgery.
As Amelia Bright had thought, Jay Mo was the only person in the bed with her.
“Is the lady not here?” Danna Keller asked.
“If there was anyone else in the ward, Halyn would have been upset, even if her father was there. Austin’s aunt was fine, but she had been with her for two days and two nights, and her body couldn’t take it, so I sent her back to rest.”
The ward is a VIP suite, the living room and bedroom are separate, the room is brightly lit at the moment, not half the obscurity of the night, almost every corner of the darkness is illuminated.
Amelia Bright felt a little blinding when she first entered the room, and after adjusting to the light, she circled Chambers and cautiously said.
“Where’s Halyn?”
Looking through the bedroom doorway, the beds were empty and the beds were all neat and tidy.
Jay Mo frowned with a grim look, gestured for them to follow, and unscrewed the bathroom door.
The bathtub was covered with a quilt and pillows, and Halyn Austin was curled up in the tub like an embryonic baby, covered with a small light blue floral quilt, while a strong light from the hospital table hung directly above her head, illuminating the entire tub.
Her brow was furrowed, and she seemed to be sleeping restlessly.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Amelia Bright did not say anything for a long time.
When she was in school abroad, she had a friend who was a psychiatrist and had shared a special case of a depressed patient with her.
Because the patient had been extremely hurt in a dark environment, he was left with PTSD, and could not go out at night. He had to turn on all the lights in his house, and even had to have a light shining on his eyelids when he slept, so that he could feel the light after closing his eyes.
Even so, the patient’s fear of darkness in his heart could not be completely relieved, a long period of sleep deprivation, a high state of mental stress led to his death after only two years of depression, died at the age of just twelve.
The doctor’s appraisal was that the oil had run out, and the extremely low physical indicators that only the elderly would have at the end of their lives appeared in a twenty-two year old boy.
After closing the door, Amelia Bright’s heart could not calm down for a long time, asking.
“Can she sleep like this?”
Jay Mo looked complicated and hesitated for a long time.
“Tonight you guys came at the right time, before going to bed I gave her an injection of … morphine, since the accident, she has not really slept, even if the lights are turned on to the strongest, she does not dare to close her eyes, always said pain, I am afraid that she can not stand to stay up like this body, there is no way.”
Morphine injection – a strong analgesic, and a type of drug.
Shocked, Amelia Bright barely calmed down and said feebly.
“I understand.”
“You are also a medical student, if not for the special circumstances, no doctor would be willing to inject a patient with a dependency drug, she is in too much pain, ordinary drugs can cure the physical pain, but not her mental pain.”
