Chapter 13 — I Missed The Day My Child Was Born

"Really?"

Tieu Nha looked at me carefully.

“You've lost a lot of weight.”

“My eyes are also dark.”

“Just started working so I'm still adjusting.”

“It'll be fine in a little while.”

“You have to pay attention to your health.”

Tieu Nha said worriedly.

“Tieu Bao needs a healthy mother.”

Tieu Nha stayed at my house all afternoon. Before leaving. She took my hand.

“If you encounter any difficulties.”

“You must tell me.”

“We are close friends.”

“Don't be polite.”

I nodded slightly. After seeing off Tieu Nha. I hugged Tieu Bao and sat on the sofa.

“Tieu Bao.”

“My friends all like you very much.”

I gently stroked her cheek.

“You must grow up healthy and happy.”

Tieu Bao seemed to understand. I laughed loudly. The clear laughter softened my heart. After two months of work. I gradually adapted to the current pace of life. Colleagues in the company are all very friendly. The boss was also very sympathetic to my situation. Sometimes I need to take time off to take care of my children. He all agreed.

“Lin Xiaoyu.”

“Your job is very good.”

In the month-end summary session. The boss openly praised me.

“The books are clear.”

“There have never been any errors.”

“Thank you boss.”

I am extremely happy to be recognized.

“Next month.”

“The company has a new project.”

The boss continued talking.

“Need a project accountant.”

“Do you want to try?”

“Salaries will be increased.”

"I agree!"

I answered immediately without hesitation. Have more income. Tieu Bao will have a better life. That day I came home from work. I noticed that Ms. Vuong's face didn't look very good.

“Mrs. Vuong, what's wrong with you?”

I asked worriedly.

"It's OK."

Mrs. Vuong forced a smile.

“Just a little tired.”

“Should you go to the hospital to get checked?”

“No need.”

“It's okay to rest for a while.”

She waved her hand.

“Tieu Bao was very good today.”

“Sleep almost all day.”

I took the baby from her arms. When I touch your child's forehead. I immediately felt something was wrong.

“Mrs. Wang.”

“Is Tieu Bao not feeling well?”

I reached out and touched my child's forehead. It's so hot.

“I also think he's a bit strange today.”

Mrs. Vuong said worriedly.

“Let's take him to the hospital for a checkup.”

I immediately took my child to the hospital. After examination. The doctor said it was just a common cold with fever. Then prescribe some medicine.

“The baby is too young.”

“Must monitor closely.”

The doctor advised.

“If the temperature exceeds thirty-eight and a half degrees.”

“It must be taken to the hospital immediately.”

Return home. I stayed up all night. Always stand by your side. By midnight. Tieu Bao's fever became more serious. I quickly hugged my child and returned to the hospital.

“Need an infusion.”

The doctor said. Look at the needle sticking into your tiny hand. My heart hurts like hell. Tears kept falling.

"It's OK."

“Mom is here.”

“Don't be afraid.”

I held my child's little hand. Gently coax. There are many patients in the infusion room. Most are old people and young children. Sit next to me. I'm a woman over thirty years old. She also took her child to the doctor alone.

“Do you also raise your child alone?”

She took the initiative to start a conversation. I nodded slightly.

“It's not easy.”

She sighed.

“I've been divorced for two years.”

“Raising my daughter alone.”

“How old is your daughter?”

“Five years old.”

She looked over at the little girl sitting next to her playing with toys.

“It was difficult when I first started very much.”

“It's much better now.”

"Really?"

I asked curiously.

“Of course.”

She laughed.

“Women.”

“When cornered.”

“Anything is possible.”

“Now I open my own store.”

“The income is also quite good.”

“What store is that?”

“Online store.”

“Sell mother and baby items.”

“If you are interested.”

“You can try it.”

“E-commerce is very easy to do now.”

“Time is also flexible.”

Those words touched my heart deeply. After the infusion, return home. It's three o'clock in the morning. Tieu Bao's fever has subsided. But the spirit is still not very good. I held my child and sat on the edge of the bed. In my head, I kept thinking about what that woman said. I should also try a side job. Increase your income. The next day is the weekend. I don't go to work. Just stay at home and take care of Tieu Bao. Mrs. Vuong also came to visit her child. Her complexion was a little better than yesterday.

“How is Tieu Bao?”

She asked with concern.

“Much better.”

“Last night the fever went down.”

“Mrs. Wang.”

“Were you also unwell yesterday?”

“Had a bit of a cold.”

Mrs. Vuong seemed guilty.

“Maybe it infected Tieu Bao.”

“It's all my fault.”

“It's not your fault.”

I quickly consoled him.

“Children are young.”

“Weak resistance.”

“Very easy to get sick.”

“I will be more careful in the future.”

Ms. Vuong said.
