Chapter 2397: Chapter 2412: Five Years Later... 4
"My daughter is my treasure!" explained Rong Qianchen.
"Is that why my name is Baobei?" Gu Baobei asked, looking at her mommy.
"Yes, you’re everyone’s treasure," Gu Qingxin smiled at her daughter, reaching out to stroke her fluffy hair.
"Qian Chen Daddy, can you play with Baobei today?" Baobei’s voice was especially soft and gentle, making anyone feel their heart melt.
"Baobei, you forgot, today is the day for your hospital check-up, Daddy will of course be with you," said Rong Qianchen tenderly, raising his hand to wipe the milk off her lips.
At the mention of the word check-up, Gu Baobei’s expression turned gloomy, her little mouth pouting, and she murmured, "Another check-up, oh."
Gu Qingxin and Rong Qianchen exchanged a glance, and Gu Qingxin almost cried; she quickly got up pretending to get something, went into the kitchen, and wiped away the tears from her face.
Looking at Gu Qingxin’s silhouette, Rong Qianchen felt even more heartache. He pulled Gu Baobei onto his lap and said, "How about this, after your check-up today, Daddy and Mommy will take you out to play, okay?"
"Really? Can I ride the carousel?" What Gu Baobei wished for most was to ride the carousel at the amusement park; ever since the little one saw that splendid carousel on TV, it had been her dream.
"No, you can’t ride those, it’s not good for your health," Gu Qingxin turned back, speaking seriously.
Gu Baobei sulked, puffing out her pink little lips, and remained silent. Three seconds later, she turned to Mommy and softly said, "Mommy, I won’t ride it, don’t worry, you can just take me for a walk in the park."
Gu Qingxin looked at her sensible daughter and felt even more like crying. She said, "I’ll go wash some clothes, you stay with her first."
Watching Gu Qingxin’s distressed demeanor, Rong Qianchen tightly furrowed his brow.
Gu Qingxin went into the bathroom, forcing back the tears that were about to overflow. She took several deep breaths and put some clothes in the washing machine.
Her thoughts drifted back to five years ago, when she left Ming City and got hurt. The doctor had to weigh the benefits and risks and gave her medication to heal the injury. Although it was the safest and smallest dose, when the child was born, the son was healthy but the daughter was extremely weak...
The doctor said that Baobei’s weakness was not only due to the medication but also due to her repressed emotions. After leaving Ming City, before giving birth, she was completely broken, living in despair, even often having suicidal thoughts...
Poor mental state was the main cause of fetal developmental problems, and the medication further worsened Baobei’s condition.
When Baobei was born, she couldn’t even cry; she had to be resuscitated immediately after birth and was barely saved, and since then she could only live in an incubator.
Right after coming off the operating table, Gu Qingxin ignored Rong Qianchen’s attempts to stop her and ran to the nursery. Watching her daughter lying so weak in the incubator, teetering on the edge of life and death every day, she truly wished she could kill herself.
Remembering that time makes her tremble with fear even now...
Because of a heartless man, she hurt her daughter.
At that time, Gu Qingxin really hated Beiming Han!
Later, Baobei could only survive on medication; while other children drank milk, her Baobei had to take many medicines and endure many injections daily.
