"I don't have any suitable picture on your phone!" Jia Li complained as she went through his phone's gallery.
"I have nice pictures of you, you can pick anyone." Fu Hua said as he leaned over.
"What nice picture? I can't send a picture of me on these casual clothes right and it looks weird posting them. This is our house and people might speculate." Jia Li said with a frown.
All the pictures of her in Fu Hua's gallery were mostly taken without her knowledge. They were casual pictures of her in the bedroom, dining or workshop, she felt it wasn't right to post them.
"Why don't you post one of your birthday pictures of yesterday?" Fu Hua asked. Since she couldn't find any other good picture, she could crop one of the photos from her birthday and post it since it looked more professional.
"Darling, it's not possible. Forget it, I will just write something and not post any picture." Jia Li replied.
"There is another solution. Today is your birthday and your friends would have posted your picture." Fu Hua reminded with a smile.
"That's right! I can get my pictures from their wall." Jia Li said out of excitement. She didn't mind posting old pictures for her birthday.
Fu Hua smiled as he watched her excitement. He reached out to caress her hair while she found some pictures to post.
"I need to get my phone soon, I bet there are so many unseen messages and missed calls on my phone, that the battery must have gone low now." Jia Li said with a frown as she handed his phone back to him.
"I will get it for you, I need to get cleaned up anyway." Fu Hua said.
Jia Li looked excited as she said to him, "Thank you! You need to get me some snacks as well."
Thinking about how she was getting hungry so easily because of breastfeeding her daughter so many times, she wanted to have a pack of snacks to herself.
"Ma'am, you're not allowed to have that." Housekeeper Zu said from the side in a polite tone.
Fu Hua glanced at his wife with pouted lips. He smiled and leaned in to kiss her cheeks.
"I will get you anything you want to eat when it's the right time. I have to leave now but I will be back as soon as possible."
"Bring more clothes for yourself, you can bath and change here. And can you please ask the doctor when I will be discharged?" Jia Li said with her gaze on him.
Fu Hua smiled at her request, "Why are you in a hurry to leave?"
"I want to go home already to introduce Jasmine to Ocean and the puppies, I'm sure they are worried about me." Jia Li replied.
"I will ask the doctor now. It's almost time for her to come over to check on you and the baby, I will leave after that."
Few minutes later, Dr. Clinton came over with 2 nurses. There were visible smiles on their faces when they came over.
Dr. Clinton checked on Jia Li and her newborn to make sure everything was okay with them. When Dr. Clinton asked Jia Li if she had any complaints,
Jia Li raised a question instead.
"Doctor, When will I be discharged?"
Dr. Clinton chuckled softly and replied, "It looks like you are already uncomfortable with this place. We have to observe you and your baby for 2 more days before we can let you go."
"2 more days? That's a long time. I want to leave tomorrow at most." Jia Li said with a frown.
She was already impatient from staying at the hospital and wanted to leave immediately. Since she lost both of her parents at the hospital, there has been this uncomfortable feeling when she stayed in the hospital for a long time.
She didn't feel that way during her antenatal classes or checkups because activities were going on which kept her occupied. But this situation was different, she wasn't doing anything in the hospital except to lay there and eat, which were things she could do while at home.
"Sweetheart, do you miss your pets that much?" Fu Hua asked with a gentle gaze. Seeing how she was being stubborn about leaving, he knew she was very serious.
"Not just my pets. I feel very uncomfortable if I have to stay here for a long time, it makes me think I am very sick and need a tight watch on." Jia Li replied.
Fu Hua and the doctor exchanged glances. Since there was nothing wrong with her and the baby, Dr. Clinton agreed to let her leave in the evening of the next day.
"Evening is far." Jia Li said.
"It's Summer already and you can't take your baby out in the sun, so evening is the best time." Dr. Clinton replied with a smile.
"Thank you, doctor!" Fu Hua said with a smile before Jia Li would find more things to say.
"No troubles, it's my job!" Dr. Clinton said before leaving with the nurses.
Fu Hua squeezed Jia Li's hands gently without saying anything for a few minutes. Then, he kissed her lips and her hands.
"I have to leave now."
"Go ahead but don't take too long." Jia Li said with a smile.
"I won't. I feel sad that I have to be apart from you and the baby for a while." Fu Hua said as he moved to the baby's cot and touched her soft tender cheeks with his finger. There was a loving gaze on his face as he did that.
"You will wake her and then you will give me more troubles." Jia Li said apprehensively from the side. She was scared of Jasmine waking up with cries.
She didn't like the tender baby turning red from crying and she was too young to be crying that way. Her cries always melted her heart and she can't bear to watch it.
"I'm careful." Fu Hua said.
After kissing his little princess goodbye, he left. He was in a hurry since he wanted to return on time.
Back at the Fu House, Fu Hee came back and went straight to the bedroom to rest. She was tired but she couldn't sleep for a long time since she felt disturbed.
Whenever she remembered that she was a grandmother in name, she felt pain in her chest and she regretted all the actions and moves she made that got her in the present situation.
