Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband-Chapter 268 - : Return to 20 Years Ago (3)
Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Return to 20 Years Ago (3)
Lin Xu had undergone a few more days of medical examinations at the hospital, and upon receiving results that her body was no longer in serious condition, she was finally allowed to get out of bed and walk around.
“Will you be discharged in a few days?” Mr. Lin had stayed at home for a few days but ultimately couldn’t rest easy, so he came to the hospital to see her, leaning on his crutch.
“The doctor said I’m recovering very well, and I’ll be discharged tomorrow,” said Lin Xu, cradling Ji Lanyue in her arms and gently tapping her cheek with a finger.
Perhaps sensing her mother’s presence, Ji Lanyue grinned broadly and happily. She waved her hands in the air and, upon grabbing Lin Xu’s finger, clutching it tightly without letting go.
The sound of giggling rang out in the room.
Mr. Lin also reached out to tap her nose, “She cried non-stop when I took care of her at home these past few days. Her crying was so loud that the neighbors complained several times. But now, in front of you, she’s acting all well-behaved and smiling so happily.”
As if aware they were talking about her, Ji Lanyue in the swaddle wrinkled her nose and pushed his finger away dissatisfied.
There was a hint of helplessness in Mr. Lin’s laughter, “Now she’s even getting picky with me.”
Lin Xu smiled, “By the way, Dad, how were Ting Yang and Zeqiu today? They should have stopped crying by now, right?”
“You know, Ting Yang rarely cries. But Zeqiu, when he went to kindergarten, he clung to your mother, telling her to come pick him up from school early and then to the hospital to see you,” Mr. Lin said.
Lin Xu said, “I’m being discharged tomorrow, so don’t bring them over tonight.”
“That’s what I said too, but that little rascal wouldn’t listen to a word. But guess what happened?” Mr. Lin suddenly wore a mysterious smile, saying cheerfully, “When Ting Yang went up and hugged him, he quieted down immediately and stopped fussing about going to the hospital to see you.”
Lin Xu thought about the words her sons had said at the hospital before and shook her head with a smile.
Mr. Lin had spent almost the entire day in the ward, only leaving reluctantly after the visiting hours had passed and at the nurse’s urging.
“I’ll be home tomorrow, so instead of feeling reluctant to leave, why not come early in the morning to pick me up?” Lin Xu hit the nail on the head.
Mr. Lin paused, thinking it over carefully, and realized it was indeed the case.
He turned around, clutching his crutch, and left.
After Mr. Lin left, the ward suddenly became quiet.
Lin Xu lay on the hospital bed for a while, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Memories of the car accident flashed through her mind, as well as Ji Yanli’s face.
Lin Xu pursed her lips, pondering for a moment before getting up and heading to Ji Yanli’s ward.
His ward was right next door, the door was not locked, and she pushed it open gently.
There lay Ji Yanli with his eyes tightly closed, his face pale and motionless on the hospital bed.

Had it not been for the heart rate curve displayed on the nearby electrocardiogram monitor, Lin Xu would have wondered if he had already breathed his last.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her fingertip gently tracing across his bloodless cheek, from his eyebrows to his eyes, finally resting on his cheek.
Lin Xu’s voice was low, “I’ve been awake for so long, how come you haven’t woken up yet?”
“You wouldn’t have lost your memory again when you wake up this time, forgetting all about our family, would you? If you dare, I definitely won’t let you off.”
“If you don’t wake up soon, I’ll have Zeqiu cry and wail in front of your bed every day, let him annoy you to death.”
Lin Xu held his hand, chattering non-stop to him until her throat was tired, and then she finally stopped.
As Lin Xu turned and left, the person on the hospital bed moved their fingers…
The next day.
Tang Bi Qin and Mr. Lin arrived at the hospital early in the morning to pick up Lin Xu. The ward didn’t have many belongings; they could be packed up quickly so that they could be discharged.
Just as they were about to leave, Lin Xu began to feel conflicted. “Maybe I should stay here. Ah Yan has no one to take care of him, and I’m a bit worried.”
Ji Yanli’s parents had passed away long ago, and his relationship with his sister was also estranged. As a result, now that he had been in such a serious car accident, there were no family members to look after him.
“Don’t worry; I’ve found a caregiver for him. If anything happens, the caregiver will call and let us know,” said Tang Bi Qin.
“But,” Lin Xu hesitated.
“Your three children are waiting for you at home. If you don’t go back to see them soon, I suspect they’ll start making a fuss,” Mr. Lin also urged.
Having just recovered herself, their daughter was also not spared from their reluctance to let her toil away, looking after Ji Yanli.
Persuaded by both of them, Lin Xu reluctantly followed them home.
Mr. Lin, to make it easier to look after the three children, had brought them all to stay at the Lin Family home. Lin Xu had wanted to bring them back to the Ji Mansion, but Tang Bi Qin, worried about her and knowing that it wasn’t easy for her to take care of the children alone, persuaded her to stay at the Lin home.
As soon as Lin Xu entered the house, she heard Ji Lanyue’s babbling voice, as if sensing her mother’s presence, stretching out her arms for a hug from the nanny’s embrace.
Lin Xu’s heart softened immediately, and she took her into her arms at once.
In the afternoon, before school let out.
Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu walked hand in hand towards their house.
Ji Tingyang was muttering, “Dad said that real men don’t cry. And you’re already five years old; you’re a big kid now and shouldn’t always ask Mom to hold you. Adults like well-behaved children.”
“Does Mom like well-behaved children too?” Ji Zeqiu asked innocently.
“Of course, Dad told me, and he’s definitely right,” Ji Tingyang nodded.
“Then I want to be well-behaved too.”
However, the moment Ji Zeqiu saw Lin Xu at home, he instantly forgot the promise he made just seconds before and rushed into Lin Xu’s arms with teary eyes.
“Wuwuwu… Mommy is back… Mommy, I missed you so much, wuwuwu…” Ji Zeqiu’s tears fell like pearls from a broken string, large and round from his eyes.
Lin Xu patted his back, her tone teasing, “Why are you crying again? What a crybaby.”
Nearby, Ji Tingyang also froze for a moment after seeing Lin Xu, his eyes suddenly reddening, and he ran a few steps forward but then stopped abruptly.
Lin Xu waved at Ji Tingyang, “Why are you just standing there? Come here and let Mom hold you.”
Ji Tingyang shuffled his feet, dragging them slowly, “I’m a good child; I don’t need to be held.”
“It’s Mommy who wants to hold our Tingyang,” Lin Xu crouched down and embraced Ji Tingyang as well.
