From abandoned baby to CEO

Sun Xue was still admitted to the hospital.

She refused to give up, even though the doctor's words echoed in her ears like a warning bell.

She lay in the hospital bed, watching the IV drip slowly flow into her body. Every day, she had to have several IV drips to replenish fluids and electrolytes. She received injection after injection of anti-nausea medication, but with little effect.

She always held onto a belief: since God had bestowed new life upon her, she had to find a way to bring that new life into the world.

Upon learning of Sun Xue's condition, Zhu Ying, who was already pregnant, took on the task of caring for her.

She gets up before dawn every day to cook millet porridge and steam the softest egg custard for Sun Xue. When Sun Xue feels nauseous, she pats her back; when Sun Xue is uncomfortable and can't sleep, she chats with her.

Having a background as a nurse, she took excellent care of Sun Xue.

"Xiaoxue, Xia Tian drew a picture yesterday. There are five people in it."

"In the spring, he also said that he would teach his younger brother to practice swordsmanship after his younger brother was born."

Sun Xue listened, grinning, but her eyes inadvertently welled up with tears.

She thought to herself that she must not give up, and no matter how much suffering she had to endure, she had to give birth to the child.

"Auntie, do you think... my baby will be alright?"

Zhu Ying knew about Sun Xue's pregnancy, and she smiled and encouraged her, "Xiao Xue, I support your choice. Since you're going to have the baby, you have to have confidence in yourself. Everything will be fine. When I worked at the hospital, I encountered similar situations. As long as they received treatment and adjusted themselves, they eventually gave birth to healthy babies. It's just that they might suffer in the early stages."

The treatment is not very effective.

He vomited up everything he had eaten.

Each time she vomited, Zhu Ying would encourage her to keep eating, saying, "Xiaoxue, it's okay, you can eat again after you vomit."

The doctor spoke with Liu Bin again, saying, "Mr. Liu, you need to talk to your wife. If this continues, her life will be in danger."

Liu Bin nodded silently. She walked into the ward and saw Sun Xue's weak body. Her heart felt like it was being torn apart.

He sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand, and said, choking back tears, "Wife, maybe we should give up. I'm really worried about you going on like this..."

Sun Xue raised her head, her eyes filled with stubbornness, "No, I can hold on!"

"Look," she gently stroked her lower abdomen, "he's moving. He's strong, and I need to be strong too. We can't give up on him."

Actually, she hadn't felt any fetal movement yet, but she believed that the child, like her, was struggling to stay afloat.

Looking into her determined eyes, Liu Bin knew that further persuasion would be futile.

He sighed and put his arm around her shoulder tightly. "Okay, I'll be with you. No matter what the outcome, I'll be there for you."

Zhu Ying, standing to the side, smiled and nodded, "Go for it, Xiaoxue."

The days passed slowly amidst the IV drips and vomiting in the hospital.

The National Games are in full swing.

On television, athletes competed fiercely on the field, cheers rose and fell, and shots of the film studio also appeared from time to time in the news.

Sun Xue lay in her hospital bed, watching the film studio footage on the television news, and proudly raised the corners of her mouth.

That was her life's work, another child of hers.

In spring and summer, Mr. Liu would bring her to the hospital to see her every day after school. In summer, he would show her a drawing he had made, which read: "Mom, hang in there! We're waiting for you and Autumn to come home."

Springtime gently touched her belly with his chubby little hand and said earnestly, "Little brother, you have to be good and not bully my mom."

Seeing how sensible the two little ones were, Sun Xue's heart was deeply warmed. She thought to herself that she must get better no matter what.

For her promise to Liu Bin, for spring and summer, and for the child in her womb.

With Zhu Ying's meticulous care and treatment, Sun Xue's condition is gradually improving.

That morning, after washing up, she drank the nutritious porridge that Zhu Ying had cooked for her, and surprisingly, she didn't feel nauseous.

For the first time, she felt no more nausea in her stomach after finishing a bowl of porridge. She murmured in surprise, "Auntie... I... I'm not nauseous anymore."

Zhu Ying ladled out another half bowl for her, saying, "Xiaoxue, try drinking some more."

Without hesitation, she ate half a bowl of porridge in one gulp. After waiting for a few minutes, she breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Wow! I really don't feel nauseous anymore. There's not a trace of nausea in my stomach."

Zhu Ying excitedly grabbed Sun Xue's hand, "Xiao Xue, that's great, you pulled through."

"I'll go get the doctor." She couldn't wait to leave the ward.

The doctor arrived, listened patiently to Sun Xue's description of her symptoms, and immediately arranged for her to undergo relevant examinations.

After all that, the test results came back. The doctor pushed up his glasses and said with a sense of relief, "Ms. Sun, the results are truly delightful. The urine carcass test has gone from strongly positive to weakly positive, and your blood potassium and sodium levels have all returned to normal."

Even the doctor was surprised, "Ms. Sun, I must say, all your suffering has paid off. Your body is finally adapting to pregnancy. Congratulations!"

Upon hearing the words "Congratulations," Sun Xue burst into tears.

These were the three most beautiful words she had heard since being hospitalized.

From that day on, her health improved day by day.

She was able to eat more and more, including millet porridge, steamed eggs, light noodles, and various seasonal fruits. Her appetite was improving, and her vomiting was slowly disappearing, with only occasional nausea remaining.

Her complexion became rosy. After dinner, Zhu Ying took her for a walk in the garden downstairs. They walked for an hour, and afterwards she could eat some fruit to replenish her energy.

Once the vomiting stopped, she tried everything she could to make up for the nutrients she had lost. She felt sorry for the new life in her womb; she knew he needed plenty of nutrition.

One afternoon, she was lying in bed, gently touching her lower abdomen, when she suddenly felt something tiny inside her kick her lightly.

It's fetal movement.

"Liu Bin, he's made a move! Our autumn has begun!"

Liu Bin leaned closer and placed his hand on her lower abdomen, again, gently, yet clearly.

His nose tingled, and tears streamed down his face. "Wife, our child... has survived."

Sun Xue gently poked his forehead with her finger and said with a smile, "You wanted me to give up at first."

Liu Bin chuckled, "I was just worried about your health."

At this moment, all the pain and perseverance have gained meaning.

On the closing day of the National Games, Sun Xue sat on her hospital bed and watched the live broadcast with her family.

The Olympic flame slowly went out, fireworks lit up the night sky, and the host said excitedly, "This National Games is not only a grand event for sports, but also a grand event for the integration of culture and tourism." The camera panned across the landmarks of Jinan City and finally stopped at the film and television city.

Spring and Summer jumped excitedly in front of the TV; "Mommy, Mommy, that's our family's movie theater!"

A month later, the doctor told her that she could be discharged from the hospital.
