The next day.

Lu Boyan had not rested well for several consecutive days, so it was Su Jian’an who woke up earlier today.

Su Jian’an carefully removed Lu Boyan’s hand from her shoulder, lifted the quilt, and quietly got out of bed to see the two little guys.

Xiyu looked even more like Lu Boyan when he fell asleep. His pale lips were pressed into a straight line, and his long eyelashes were as thick as a girl’s, but he had a cool expression, which meant “No one is allowed to disturb me.”

After taking care of these two little guys for a few days, Su Jian’an had already figured out a custom—Xiyu was easier to be woken up than Xiangyi.

Or rather, in his subconsciousness, Xiyu had always been more vigilant than his sister.

Su Jian’an was afraid of waking him up, so she did not touch him, but turned to look at Xiangyi.

At the moment she saw Xiangyi, Su Jian’an’s expression suddenly changed.

When she didn’t realize, Xiangyi had woken up. Lying on the cot, she kept pushing her little hands and feet. Her small nose kept twitching, and she seemed to have difficulty in breathing. A circle of light purple color appeared on her pink lips.

“Xiangyi!”

Su Jian’an hurriedly picked up her daughter, only to find that the little baby was almost out of breath, and Xiangyi could only kick her legs in Su Jian’an’s arms.

Xiangyi was obviously in a lot of pain, but she had only been in this world for less than five days, so she wouldn’t say anything.

Su Jian’an forced herself to calm down and went to wake up Lu Boyan with her daughter in her arms.

Lu Boyan was already easy to be woken up. When he heard Su Jian’an’s voice, he quickly opened his eyes, only to find that Su Jian’an was holding their daughter in her arms and her eyes were somehow red.

He frowned, and on the next second, he uncovered the thin blanket off his body and got up. “What’s wrong?”

“Xiangyi…” Su Jian’an was already crying, but she was so anxious that she couldn’t speak coherently. “Call the doctor, be quick.”

Only then did Lu Boyan notice that Xiangyi was breathing with great difficulty in Su Jian’an’s arms. Her small nose was opened with difficulty, and her beautiful little face was full of discomfort.

However, the little girl could say nothing except that her face was flushed.

Lu Boyan’s heart felt as if it was pricked by needles. He pressed the emergency alarm on the head of the bed several times. The nurse quickly came over, took a glance at Xiangyi, and said, “It may be child asthma! Don’t worry, I’ll contact the doctor right away and send the baby to the pediatrics for examination.”

When the nurse contacted the pediatrics director, Lu Boyan had already taken over her daughter from Su Jian’an’s hand. He comforted her and said, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll take Xiangyi to see the doctor. You should stay here to take care of Xiyu.”

Su Jian’an nodded absent-mindedly and went to the elevator with Lu Boyan and their daughter. When they went down, she remembered that Xiyu was still in the room, so she returned to the suite.

As soon as she walked to the door, the nurse hurriedly came out of the suite. “Mrs. Lu, as soon as you and Mr. Lu went out, Xiyu suddenly woke up and cried badly. We can’t comfort him. You should go in and have a look.”

Su Jian’an hurried back to the suite. As soon as she opened the door, she heard the cry of Xiyu.

From the moment she was born, Xiyu seemed to know that he was the elder brother, so he had a calm expression most of the time. He would occasionally be curious about something, but he would not stare at it for more than three seconds, and it was even rarer for him to cry.

This was the first time that he had cried when he woke up early in the morning.

Su Jian’an walked over, picked him up from the baby bed, and coaxed him gently. “What’s wrong? Are you hungry?”

She put the baby on the bed, quickly filled a bottle with warm water, and fed it to him. However, he only took two sips and quickly loosened the pacifier and continued to cry.

Su Jian’an made some milk with the powder again. This time, Xiyu took two more sips, but just after two mouthfuls, he suddenly seemed to think of something sad, spit out the pacifier, and cried in a low voice.

“Baby, what’s wrong with you?”

Su Jian’an could only hold the little fellow in her arms and coax him. But no matter how she coaxed him, he continued to cry, as if he would not stop for the whole day.

Su Jian’an suddenly remembered a saying that there was wonderful telepathy between twins.

“Is it because of Xiangyi’s discomfort that Xiyu cried like that?”

Thinking of this possibility, Su Jian’an’s heart had softened. She touched the face of Xiyu. “Dad has taken your sister to see a doctor. Don’t cry, okay?”

Xiyu seemed to have understood Su Jian’an’s words. He stopped for two seconds and then cried louder.

Su Jian’an had no choice but to coax him. “I’ll take you to see your sister after I get changed. Don’t cry, good boy.”

Xiyu was still crying, but his wails were quieter. Su Jian’an put him on the bed, took some clothes to get changed, and left the suite with Xiyu in her arms.

When the nurse saw Su Jian’an coming out with the baby in her arms, she rushed over and asked, “Mrs. Lu, where are you going?”

“Going to the pediatrics department and check on my daughter.” Su Jian’an then remembered a crucial issue. “By the way, where is the pediatrics department?”

“You just had surgery a few days ago. Carrying a child will tire you out.” The nurse was much more anxious than Su Jian’an. “How about this? Hand me the young master, and I’ll take care of him for you, and then we’ll ask someone to take you to the pediatrics department.”

Su Jian’an smiled and refused the nurse’s kindness. “You can’t make this little guy quiet. I’ll take him there. Please lead the way for me.”

The nurse saw that Su Jian’an did not intend to let go of Xiyu, so she compromised and took her to the pediatrics department.

Compared with other departments, the pediatrics were much noisier, and the parents looked more anxious.

If it were in the past, Su Jian’an might not understand why parents couldn’t keep calm. But now, she completely understood.

Thinking of Xiangyi’s painful face and her struggling nose, Su Jian’an’s heart seemed to be torn into pieces. She was anxious and full of pain, which made her unable to breathe.

At this time, calm and collected thoughts were all abandoned.

Thinking of this, Su Jian’an unconsciously quickened her pace. The nurse kept telling her, “Mrs. Lu, slow down. You are holding the baby. Be careful not to get the operation wound involved.”

“It’s okay. I just want to know how my daughter is as soon as possible.” As she said this, Su Jian’an looked down at Xiyu in her arms, and a smile finally appeared by her lips. “You want to see your sister too, don’t you?”

“Well…” Maybe Xiyu understood Su Jian’an’s words. He glared at her in her mother’s arms and stopped crying.

When the nurse saw the situation, she said nothing and brought Su Jian’an to the pediatrics department as soon as possible. She found out that the Xiangyi was having a check-up and went directly to the examination room.

The door of the examination room was closed, and Lu Boyan stood outside the door. His back looked still slender and straight, but his shoulders were almost stretched into a straight line, and his posture was no longer as calm as it used to be.

“Boyan.” Su Jian’an called him.

Hearing the voice, Lu Boyan turned around and saw Su Jian’an coming over with Xiyu in her arms. He frowned and went to greet her. While taking Xiyu over, he asked, “Why didn’t you ask the nurse to carry Xiyu?”

“He doesn’t want to, and he has been crying terribly.” Su Jian’an didn’t care about herself and looked at the examination room. “How is Xiangyi? What did the doctor say?”

” Children’s asthma.” Lu Boyan’s voice was deep. “As for the specifics, we have to wait for the results of the examination.”

Su Jian’an shook her head as if she could not accept the fact that Xiangyi had asthma. “How could this be? Everything was normal during the pregnancy check-up, and everything was normal a few days ago.” She grabbed Lu Boyan’s sleeve and asked, “Did we fail to take good care of her?”

“Don’t think too much.” Lu Boyan used the other hand to hold Su Jian’an. He kissed her forehead across Xiyu. “Let’s talk about it after the results come out.”

Su Jian’an closed her eyes and finally calmed down.

Right at the moment, the door of the examination room was opened, and the nurse came out with Xiangyi in her arms.

Su Jian’an went up to her and held her daughter, only to find that the little fellow’s eyes were tightly closed. She suddenly looked up at the nurse and asked, “What happened to my daughter?”

“Mrs. Lu, don’t worry. The baby is fine now. She just fell asleep during the examination.” The nurse quickly comforted Su Jian’an. “You can go to our director’s office with Mr. Lu and let him tell you the details.”

The two children were handed over to the nurses to bring them back to the suite, while Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an went to the pediatrics dean’s office.

The director was a well-known pediatrics expert in the country. As soon as she entered the office, Su Jian’an didn’t care about her manners and asked directly, “Director, what’s wrong with my daughter?”

“It’s Children’s asthma. The cause of the disease is temporarily unknown. It may be inherited by generations or congenital.” The director said, “At present, the only thing we can do is to take positive treatment and prevent this disease from accompanying her for the rest of her life. You don’t have to worry too much. Generally, you only need to take care of her. This kind of disease will not endanger the baby’s life. When the disease comes, the baby will feel a little uncomfortable, just like this morning.”

Thinking of Xiangyi’s condition in the morning, Su Jian’an’s heart felt like being pulled by something. She looked at the director with a pleading look. “I can’t let her suffer from a disease as soon as she comes to this world. Director, no matter what, you must…”

Before she could finish her words, Su Jian’an’s eyes turned red first. She choked with sobs and suddenly stopped talking.

Lu Boyan came over, and Su Jian’an turned her head and buried her head in his arms. His chest soon felt damp.

He touched Su Jian’an’s head. “Don’t cry. I’ll talk to the doctor.”

Su Jian’an could not keep calm at the moment, so she could only nod in Lu Boyan’s arms.

Lu Boyan comforted Su Jian’an when he asked the doctor, “Asthma won’t endanger my daughter’s life, right?”

“There’s only one condition—you have to take care of her carefully. As long as you notice her syndrome in time and take medicine in time, she won’t be in danger. Besides, according to the test results, the baby’s symptoms are very light. As long as you don’t stimulate her emotions, the appearance of her illness won’t be too frequent. With the help of treatment, she’ll be possibly cured. So, you don’t have to worry too much.”

“What’s the chance of being cured?” Lu Boyan asked.

The doctor sighed and said, “It’s hard to say. She may be cured soon, or it may stay with her until she reaches adulthood. The worst possibility is that… this disease will accompany her for the rest of her life. But don’t worry, we’ll use the best medical methods and the best medicine to remove her asthma as much as possible before she grows up.”

The doctor didn’t say it out directly, but Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an both knew that the doctor wasn’t sure whether he could cure the asthma of Xiangyi.

In other words, they had to do their best to prepare for the worst.
