Chapter 56 The Three Loving Kids
Vania scanned her surroundings and realized that she was currently at the hospital.
She could recall being hit by a car, but as for who rescued her afterward and how she arrived at the hospital, she was completely clueless about all this. She tried to recall the situation, but she felt her head throb painfully and instinctively frowned.
James instantly held her hand. “Mommy, what’s wrong?”
Jack also quickly pressed the bell to buzz for help. “The doctor will be here right away.”
As for Jacob, he used his soft little hands and took a towel to wipe the beads of sweat on Vania’s forehead. “Mommy, where exactly do you feel unwell?”
Vania bravely smiled when she saw the worried looks on the faces of her three kids. “Don’t worry, kids. I’m fine. I don’t feel unwell at all right now.”
However, the smile that she revealed was quite painful as it stretched her dry, chapped lips.
James immediately grabbed some water and put a straw inside to place in front of Vania. “Mommy, have a sip of water. I’ve added some sugar inside. I remember that you used to make us some sugary drinks when we were sick, so it’s our turn to do this for you now that you’re unwell.”
Jack also held her hand tightly. “Mommy, you’ve been unconscious for more than a day after being hit by the car. We were so frightened. If you’re unwell, you must mention it. The three of us will be able to take good care of you.”
A teary-eyed Jacob leaned against her arm. “Mommy, do you hurt anywhere? You can cry if it hurts. Don’t force yourself to tolerate it.”
James couldn’t care less about resting. “Mommy, you were unwell, so we should stay by your side. It’s what we should do.”
“James is right. We should take care of you, Mommy. You’ve always taken care of us when we were sick too. Right now, you’re the priority, so you shouldn’t worry about us.”
Jacob spoke up in a gentle voice, “Mommy, you’re our little princess. We have to protect you.”
At that point, Vania was extremely touched by their words. She was just about to advise them to go and take a rest when the doctor making rounds knocked on the door to enter the room.
The doctor saw that Vania was conscious, so he stepped forward to check on her. After thoroughly examining her, he spoke up in a professional tone. “Hi, I’m the doctor in charge of you. You’ve been involved in a very serious car crash this time, and you’ve suffered fractures all over the body. You will need to be on bed rest for a month, and you’re not allowed to move unnecessarily. Besides, you must adhere strictly to my instructions and come back regularly for check-ups and physiotherapy.”
