Offer To The CEO

688 A Surprise Arival - Part 7

Saturday

Anna woke quietly, feeling the pain from the surgery but with even more pain in her heart knowing how little time their youngest twin had.? She turned and noticed Hou Yi curled up on the couch in the suite and could see in just observing him how much the last day had taken out of him.

Having Rosemary here, to date had been a godsend.? Her presence in the theatre had been calming, but more importantly when James and Alecia had dragged Hou Yi away for a meal, it was a comfort to talk to someone she absolutely trusted to give her the truth.? While she wanted to argue with Rosemary about everything, as she had explained there were things that medical science could not give an answer why, and that this would likely be the case.

Talking through the conflicting emotions, let her get to a point, that while the situation was still heartbreaking and wanted to drive her to tears constantly, she felt at peace with what would happen.? Her little boy would not continue to suffer the pain that he was in even now.

Anna realised that she was going behind Hou Yi's back, but while he was out Rosemary spoke to the hospital staff, who put her into contact with a local catholic priest.? While, he questioned her about Anna and Hou Yi's faith, somehow, and Anna was still not certain on how Rosemary convinced him, he agreed to come to the hospital early this morning to christen him.

Looking at her husband she was that he moved, and not only did it make her think of what happened after her assault when she was in a VIP ward at the hospital, but how dramatically her life had changed in the last twelve months.? Yes the death of this little one, would be a tragedy but without all the various events that had happened, she would not have the chance to be as happy as she was with Yi, the love of her life.

Fatherhood had already changed Yi.? Anna was surprised that last night that he kept as calm as he did when they had their discussion with the obstetrician and other specialists who came to see them when he returned.? Yes, he was angry that they had kept the truth about the situation for their youngest son secret and the risks to Anna, but he listened and ultimately calmly accepted the situation.

More importantly he was not ready to plot their destruction for their actions.? As he said when they left them for a few minutes piece before Anna was wheeled into the VIP Critical Care unit to enable them to spend time with both boys, they made a decision that was best for everyone and that it was the right decision.

When she pressed him, Yi turned and said that he had to accept the medical opinion as to what was in her best interests, rather than feeling aggrieved for what could have been.? He was certain that if the worst had come to past and he was planning three funerals, instead of the two of them having to plan one, he would not have changed the pleasure and joy that he has throughout her pregnancy, despite all the other challenges they had.

The other pleasing part of the discussion last night was that they obstetrician viewed that Anna would not have difficulty in conceiving in the future, but they had to be aware that it would be likely that each and every birth would have its risks, likely resulting in her needed a caesarean birth each time.? That she could live with, for them to have more children.

As the door opened and a nurse started in Hou Yi awoke.? "CEO and Madam Hou, would you like to head in to spend time with your babies?"

They looked at each other and simply nodded.? Any time they spent with their youngest baby would be their memories of a lifetime with him.? At a signal two other nurses came in to help Anna into a Wheelchair for her to be taken in.? As Anna was carefully pushed towards the VIP Critical Care Unit Hou Yi trailed behind, watching his wife.

After following procedures, they entered the unit, moving towards the two cribs with their babies in them.? Anna was torn, who did she spend the time with, the baby who would live or the one who they would soon bury.? In noticing Anna's movement in the wheelchair, Hou Yi said "Anna, let us say Hello to our older son, and promise him that we will come back to him once we spend time with his little brother who will not be with us too long."
