Chapter 243: Marrying Right
Shen Yiguang was likely to stay in the hospital for another ten days or so. Previously, the nurses and his comrade Xiao Xu had looked after him, but now that she had arrived and since his condition had stabilized, there was no need for others. However, Shen Yiguang did feel sorry for Yang Peimin, having to eat and sleep with him in the hospital.
Yang Peimin thought it was all part of her duty and didn’t consider it hard at all, it was not like she was asked to do any physical labor, which she wouldn’t have been capable of.
Attending to his needs, wiping his body, taking care of his personal and room hygiene, preparing medicinal meals, making nutritious meals, chatting, reading newspapers to alleviate boredom, and so on—she actually began to feel that it was rather nice. Normally, Shen Yiguang wasn’t injured and wouldn’t have so much time to spend with her. Sweat... Her bad, her bad, she didn’t mean that it was better for him to be injured, she was just making the best of a bad situation.
Shen Yiguang also felt as she said, having her by his side made him feel good every day, and it seemed as if his body was healing much faster.
The doctor came in for a check-up and specially praised them, "He’s recovering very well. Your spouse has been taking great care of you. In a couple of days, you can remove the dressing on your waist, and there are some roses blooming outside, you can take a wheelchair out for a spin."
Yang Peimin was delighted and saw the doctor out.
When she came back, she said to Shen Yiguang, "Hey, you can finally get some fresh air outside."
Shen Yiguang snorted with a smile, "What do you mean ’get some fresh air’? Is that any way to talk about your husband?"
Yang Peimin stuck out her tongue.
Today, there was another bottle of anti-inflammatory IV drip that needed to be administered. Two nurses entered, one went to administer the IV to Shen Yiguang, and the other inquired about his condition. Yang Peimin then said with a smile, "The doctor has already been here, checked his wound, and said that he’s recovering very well. Regarding other matters, I know them too. Mr. Ding, you can ask me. He just took his medication and is a little sleepy now."
Nurse Ding was slightly displeased at being interrupted by Yang Peimin, but upon hearing that the doctor had been around, she nodded somewhat stiffly and then asked, "Okay, tell me about Mr. Shen’s condition. How’s his appetite? How is he feeling? Any symptoms like dizziness or tightness in the chest? Has he used the bathroom?"
