After knocking on the door, Mother Pan and Mother Xiao entered the ward. Looking at the room, it was a four-person room. Besides Mu Zigu, three other patients were inside.
When they saw Mother Xiao and Mother Pan, the other patients and their families observed them with curiosity.
Not only were both women dressed better than the others, but they also carried a lot of items. Just based on this, the others knew that these women were well-off.
Although both Mother Xiao and Mother Pan noticed the stares, they pretended not to and ignored them. They walked towards the bed near the window and saw Xiao Yiqing sleeping, leaning against the bed while sitting in a chair.
Seeing her sleeping while holding her husband’s hands, Mother Xiao felt pain in her heart. Her daughter had been pampered by her family since birth, yet after growing up, she was disowned by her grandfather and suffered like this.
When she found out about her husband’s injury, she must have been frightened.
Noticing her friend’s expression, Mother Pan patted her hand to offer comfort but said nothing.
The sound they made while placing the bags down woke Xiao Yiqing. When she opened her eyes, she saw her mother and Mother Pan.
In an instant, she threw herself into her mother’s arms and said, "Mother, I miss you so much."
Mother Xiao gently patted her daughter’s back and replied, "Mother misses you too."
After the mother and daughter hugged for a while, Mother Xiao held her daughter’s shoulders and checked her over, asking, "Qingqing, why are you getting thinner? Did your husband treat you badly?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yiqing shook her head and said, "Mother, my husband treats me very well. I’m just worried and haven’t had much of an appetite lately."
Mother Xiao sighed and said, "Even if you worry about your husband, you should take good care of yourself. If you fall sick too, then who will take care of him?"
Xiao Yiqing smiled and nodded, "I will listen to my mother and take good care of myself."
Mother Xiao was satisfied with her daughter’s response and turned to look at her son-in-law. "How is Zigu?"
"My husband just fell asleep after having his lunch and taking his medicine. The doctor said that there are no problems with his injuries, but he lost a lot of blood and needs to recuperate for at least two months before he can fully recover," Xiao Yiqing explained.
"Qingqing, you should give him these. Jiajia’s fiancé sent a lot of good things that we can’t finish, so Aunt Pan brought them for you and your husband," Mother Pan said.
Only after hearing Mother Pan’s words did Xiao Yiqing realize why her mother and Mother Pan had brought so many items.
"Aunt Pan, you shouldn’t have brought so much. Save it for Uncle Pan,Brother Chiyan and Brother Chimu," she said, feeling embarrassed.
