Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 487 - 488: Four Years Later...

Chapter 487: Chapter 488: Four Years Later…

Four years later —

In a high-rise apartment in downtown Manhattan.

The alarm rings and Xia Yangyang quickly gets up.

She takes a heated bath as though going into a battle, feeling refreshed afterwards.

Today is a weekend.

Usually, she could sleep in a bit later.

But something important is happening today.

After changing, Xia Yangyang makes sandwiches in the kitchen for breakfast.

Then, she heads to another small room.

Xia Yangyang opened the door and stepped in.

There is a little boy sleeping in the bed.

The little boy is incredibly cute.

Soft black hair, exquisite features.

Many children do not develop all their features until they are four or five years old.

But this little boy is different, possessing defined, handsome features and long lashes just like a girl.

Even when he sleeps, his eyelashes flutter as if they were butterfly wings, barely stirring the air.

The little boy has skin as fair as the finest white porcelain from the Jun kiln.

He sleeps so deeply that he doesn’t notice Xia Yangyang’s entrance at all.

Xia Yangyang sits down at the edge of the bed.

She stretches out her hand to gently stroke the little boy’s hair.

This is her son, Xia Ye.

Xia Ye was born prematurely, on a midsummer night.

Thinking back to it, Xia Yangyang feels it was a matter of life and death.

Fortunately, they both survived.

Xia Yangyang’s hand feels the softness of Xia Ye’s cheek.

But she doesn’t know if it’s because of the lack of oxygen during his difficult birth.

After Xia Ye was born, he was diagnosed with a rare disease.

It’s called Atypical Neurological Hypersomnia in medical terms.

Xia Ye sleeps more than 20 hours a day.

He has very little waking time each day.

From the moment he was born, Xia Yangyang noticed something different about him.

He spent most of his time sleeping, even refusing to drink milk.

Normally, this would be acceptable for a baby.

However, after a year, Xia Ye was still the same.

Only then did Xia Yangyang begin to worry.

She had consulted many top doctors around the world.

The conclusion was that there was no cure.

Most of the medical explanation was that it was due to a lack of oxygen to his nerves during birth.

But it had not affected Xia Ye’s intelligence.

On the contrary.

Xia Ye was a genius.

At just four years old, he had already learned two languages and had shown remarkable talent with numbers.

Even Xiao Wu had once said he was more gifted than she was when she was young.

During the brief periods when Xia Ye was awake, he demonstrated an extraordinary ability to concentrate.

He learned quickly and even remembered everything after just one read.

Xia Yangyang couldn’t believe that she, who had always believed in the power of hard work, had given birth to such a genius.

However…

Xia Yangyang couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt whenever she thought about it.

If she hadn’t been so stubborn and headstrong, insisting on continuing her work as a reporter while pregnant…

She wouldn’t have been taken hostage and given birth prematurely.

And Xia Ye wouldn’t have suffered from a lack of oxygen during his birth.

Thinking about the past sent chills down Xia Yangyang’s spine.

Xia Yangyang’s greatest wish now was for Xia Ye to recover through medical treatment.

Even if he could not be completely cured…

As long as his sleep time could be reduced a little, just a little bit more.

Xia Yangyang would be satisfied.

Fortunately, a world-class medical team was currently treating Xia Ye.

The most authoritative research group in neurology, “Novi”.

Now Xia Ye was taking a new drug researched by this team.

In the past couple of years, they had seen some results.

Xia Ye’s waking time was a bit longer than usual.

And under the stimulation of a certain drug.

Xia Ye could stay awake for two hours.

However, Xia Yangyang didn’t casually let Xia Ye consume that drug because its side effect caused longer periods of sleep the next day.
