Offer to the CEO

Friday

With the help of the nursing staff, Anna finished getting ready for her departure from the hospital.  Despite the paediatrician's initial view that Little Jang would have to spend at least another week in the Hospital, after Aaron's death he started to move forward in leaps and bounds, to the point that he could come home with her.  When he informed them of this earlier this morning on his rounds, the paediatrician said "It was almost as if he was suffering because his twin was suffering and when that ended he was able to relax and let his body do what it needed to."

As she looked at Hou Yi he was cuddling little Jang while videoconferencing with Rosemary on his phone and she heard the comment "I cannot believe he is being let go home."

Anna moved over and said loudly "Well Rosemary, I am his mother and you know…"

"How stubborn you are.  Anna, that is a mild view as to your personality at times."

Hou Yi laughed and added "And she can be stubborn at times, but at the same time…"

"You would not change a thing about her, and she would not change a thing about you.  Damn it you two are so sugary sweet, it makes me want to run to the dentist, despite how much I love you," responded Rosemary in a laughing tone.  "Yi, on a more serious note, thank you for organizing my flight back, while I would have liked to stay with school only having started for the year here, I needed to be back quickly.  I have shown everyone a few photos of little Yi, but they asked could you video call us on Sunday so everyone can see little Jang."

"I will do Rosemary.  And thank you for being here with us."

"True, darling sister.  I felt safe with you around and despite everything …"

"You do not blame us.  Anna, Every time I saw you or spoke to you throughout your pregnancy you were so stressed, so I can see why nothing was said, as you may not even have Jang to take home.  Now go you two, and we will talk later, but you better send me photos soon."

"Will do" responded Hou Yi before ending the call.

Anna turned to him, and asked "Are you alright with what happened?"

"I can deal with it. Since little Yi's funeral I have had the time to think and spoken to several the specialists.  It hurts what they did, but if I take an outsider position, I can understand it.  But how do you feel?" by the end Hou Yi's tone was gentle towards his wife.

"I feel furious about them keeping us in the dark, but as it was explained to me yesterday with how I was I could have gone into an ever more premature labour and we could have lost both.  That I do not believe I would have survived.  I just have to focus on Jang and our positives, but…" Anna choked up and started to cry again.

Hou Yi, simply took her hand in his free hand and said "I know.  All I want to do is cry for him and his short life, but we still have the future we were planning although somewhat different.  We have each other, we have Jang, and we will have children in the future."

Nodding Anna reached over and carefully took Jang from Hou Yi's arms and gave him a cuddle.  Unsurprisingly for her as soon as he was in her arms he looked to be fed, which not only had her laughing, but Hou Yi as well.

While Anna was feeding Jang, Hou Yi's mobile rang, and he answered it "Uncle Feng, what can I do for you?"

Anna internally shock her head.  Despite all his promises of taking paternity leave Hou Yi, during the day was burying himself in work at Hou Enterprises.  As Uncle Feng told her when he snuck in for a visit yesterday, it seemed like work was his means to cope with Aaron's death.

Hearing that Hou Yi paused, Anna called out "Uncle Feng, tell that husband of mine to leave you to deal with the company matters at least for a few weeks."

Despite the noise, little Jang did not stir, and very quickly Hou Yi ended the call, and turned to Anna. "You should leave things be Anna," came his sharp short response.

"Yi, you told me that you were going to take paternity leave for two or three weeks, and leave company matters to Uncle Feng.  Jang is only a week old, and this week other than when you took the time for Aaron's funeral you have spent most of the week at the company.  If you cannot take paternity leave, how can you expect lower level staff in the company to take it."

Hou Yi shook his head and responded "Anna, there are matters …"

"Do not go onto me about things that only you can deal with.  While you have been here of a night-time, and I have needed that, having your Mother and Aunt as well as friends around me has not been enough.  I need you with me."
