Meanwhile , Rong Xinghe was standing outside the ICU ward where little Ningtao was admitted. She had waited so much for this mini human to come out. But this was not how she wanted it...This was the first child in her family. The first bundle of happiness in her brothers" life. How could her heart not ache for the baby ? Why was this infant getting punished for what happened six years ago ? Why was an innocent child becoming a victim of Zhou Che"s hatred for her ?
He could have just stabbed her instead...
Soon , the six men also reached outside the hospital room and saw Rong Xinghe clenching her fists. It seemed like she was in a dilemma about whether to go inside or not...
"You can go in , Xinghe.", Lu Wei said to the girl as he rubbed her head.
"What if I pa.s.s my miserable and terrible destiny to her ?", Rong Xinghe"s voice choked.
Before Lu Wei could say anything further , Rong Xinghe"s phone rang and she looked at the screen. It was Xi Yuan. The six men also saw the called ID and remained silent.
The girl picked up the call almost instantly. For an unknown reason , she wanted and needed to hear this man"s voice the most right now.
"Calm down , Xinghe. Nothing will happen to your niece.", Xi Yuan"s soothing and deep voice fell upon the girl"s ears as her heart subconsciously tranquilized itself. His voice was like a warm blanket protecting her from the cold chilly winters.
"If there is a chair nearby , sit down and take a deep breath.", the man continued.
Right now , Xi Yuan"s every word was like hypnosis for the girl. Everything he told her to do , she would willingly do that.
Hence , the girl sat down on the hospital bench and breathed deeply , as suggested by the man.
"Now , go and see your niece. You are a blessing for your brothers and me. You have no idea about how miraculous your presence and your touch is , Xinghe. I am confident that she will get out of danger as soon as she feels a person like you beside her.", Xi Yuan said gently.
It was too bad that he was in England and couldn"t be by his woman"s side at such a time. But thankfully , Rong Xiao had already informed him about what was happening there as she was worried about Rong Xinghe. She knew that , the more Rong Xinghe bottled up her feelings within her , the more dangerous it was for her. And in this world , no one understood the girl more than Xi Yuan.
As expected , Rong Xinghe listened to the man"s every word as if she was possessed and got up from her seat ,"I will see her then..."
_________
Rong Xinghe was still holding the phone when she entered the Intensive Care Unit and the six men followed behind her. Xi Yuan didn"t disconnected the call as well. He silently listened to the girl"s every movement.
The woman stood beside the small bed where her niece was lying. They had even lost the count of total injections she had been injected by till now. An oxygen mask covered the mouth of the infant and an IV drip had been connected to the back of her hand.
Rong Xinghe was the Military Chief of an entire nation. She had seen many people dying during her missions. She was used to looking at dead bodies without batting an eyelid by now. But today , she was feeling like even the last bit of courage had been drained out of her body when she saw this child in such a state.
"H...hey brat ! Aunt Xinghe orders you to wake up quickly ! Don"t scare your Mom and Dad like this. Your five uncles are also waiting eagerly to spoil you. Get up..", Rong Xinghe murmured softly but the six men and Xi Yuan heard her every word clearly.
After some moments of silence , Rong Xinghe clenched her fists and stretched out her right hand to touch the little head of her niece.
And as soon as the woman"s palm touched the baby"s bald head , a miracle happened !
The small hands of the baby shook slightly and her eyes flinched. The infant kicked her legs in the air and moved her head upwards slowly. The child then stretched her body as if she had woken up from years of sleep and in the next instant , the little girl started crying uncontrollably !
Rong Xinge was so scared that she pulled her hand back at once and reflexively took few steps back.
Even the six men were a little worried and Zhi Bo immediately called the doctors and nurses inside the ward so that they could check on the baby. The doctor studied the changes in the child"s body and then looked at the seven siblings with amus.e.m.e.nt.
"Who touched the child just now ?", the doctor tried his best to control his smile.
Rong Xinghe pointed her index finger towards herself guiltily. Had her actions made the baby uncomfortable ? The baby wouldn"t suffer more , right ? These were the only thought on her mind currently.
"Well... Ms. Rong. You are indeed the lady luck for Mr. Lu. Congratulations ! Your niece is completely out of danger now. Maybe she sensed you presence beside her and couldn"t bear to let your heart ache or whatever. It is actually a marvel , a miracle for the child to fight back its death , though. But sometimes , even Science cannot explain certain occurrences.", the child specialist looked at Lu Wei ,"Please share the good news with Mrs. Lu. I still need to run some tests on the baby but rest a.s.sured , they are just basic tests.
"Although the child is out of danger , it is still premature. It will naturally show some symptoms of a premature baby , but will be fine eventually. Excuse me."
Even after the doctor left , the siblings stood in a daze as they weren"t able to digest what had just happened completely.
After few more minutes of silence , Zhi Al hugged Lu Wei tightly ,"Heavens ! I am an uncle now , Bro Wei !"
Su Rogguang also brushed away his complicated thoughts and joined in happily ,"Finally ! A new member in the family."
The other three men also followed in after they broke out of their trance.
Only Rong Xinghe was still standing frozen akin to an ice sculpture. What... just happened ? At this time , Lu Wei pulled the girl and hugged her tightly with tears of happiness flowing down his eyes ,"There is no point debating about whom the baby will love the most when she grows up ! It will be her Aunt Xinghe. Only you could save her , kiddo. Thank you so much !"
Rong Xinghe still didn"t reacted. This was much too surreal. Initially , she stayed strong because she wanted Lu Wei to remain strong. That was the only reason that she acted so optimistic. But deep down , she was really very frightened. She was naturally having a tough time believing this...
Lu Wei sensed the girl"s silence and pulled away from her. She was really worried this time. He didn"t noticed it earlier but now that both his wife and daughter were fine , he could see it clearly.
The doctor was right. She was indeed his lady luck. Just how lucky was he to have her in his life ?
