Mu Xiaoxiao only knew that something had happened to Lu Yichen’s mum when she arrived at the hospital. She had fainted suddenly while working and had even undergone a period of shock, so she was in critical condition.
When Lu Yichen had finally arrived, Mama Lu had already been out of the operating theater and placed in a ward.
“Is my mom okay?” Lu Yichen asked a nurse, his face strained.
The nurse replied, “She’s currently alright, but the detailed health reports are with the doctor. Since you’re the patient’s kin, you can ask the doctor for more details later. Right now, the patient is sleeping, so refrain from disturbing her. It would be best if she wakes up naturally because she needs to rest right now.”
After thanking the nurse, he walked over to the bed and looked down at his mother’s face. His gaze brimmed with heartache as he saw how pale it was.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing stood a distance away.
However, this was a multi-patient ward, and the other patients were a little noisy. There was even a couple who had started to argue in frustratingly loud voices. In another bed, a woman was hugging a child who was wailing loudly.
How could anyone rest properly in such an environment?
Han Qiqing couldn’t help but walk up to Lu Yichen and say, “Lu Yichen, I’m familiar with the director of the hospital. May I arrange a single-bed ward for you? It’ll give Auntie a better resting environment.”
Lu Yichen shook his head, not looking at her. “No, thank you,” he said a little coldly.
Mu Xiaoxiao put on a serious face and turned him around so that he would meet her eyes. She glared at him as she said, “Look at this environment. How do you expect Auntie to rest in this noise? The nurse told you that your mom really needs to rest right now. Is your mom’s health more important or your… determination?”
Lu Yichen looked into her eyes but kept silent.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him resolutely as she asked, “Do you take me as your friend? If you don’t, I’ll leave right now.”
She only turned slightly before Lu Yichen grabbed her arm anxiously as though he was afraid that she would walk out of his world forever.
He pleaded in a low voice, “Don’t go!”
Mu Xiaoxiao turned back and looked at him. “If we’re your friends, you have to accept our help, okay? You’ll also wish to help me when I need you, right?”
Lu Yichen was finally persuaded and agreed to accept Han Qiqing’s help.
In fewer than ten minutes, Mama Lu had been transferred to a luxurious single-patient ward.
Lu Yichen frowned as he said, “A single-patient ward would have done the job; there’s no need for such a luxurious one.”
Han Qiqing put on an air of helplessness as she said, “Well, it couldn’t be helped. The rest of the wards were all full, and this was the only one left. It’s fine though. I’m familiar with Uncle Director here. He says he’ll provide it for free.”
Lu Yichen looked at her as though he knew she was lying.
His low voice said, “Anyway, thank you.”
Even though it made Han Qiqing a little shy, it was rare that he looked directly at her, and her heart leaped with joy.
She smiled till her eyes resembled crescents. “You don’t have to thank me; it wasn’t anything difficult. And I’m really happy to be able to help… Auntie.”
She had originally wanted to say “you,” but was afraid that it would be too obvious and thus changed it at the last second quickly.
Because they were afraid of disturbing Mama Lu, they headed out of the room.
Lu Yichen went to the doctor to get his mother’s health report while Han Qiqing enthusiastically went off to buy food and drinks for everyone.
