Love So Sweet

76 Meeting Zhang Li Xue’s Mother

Zhang Li Xue woke up and saw that her mother was looking at her anxiously.

Her mind was still in a daze and she could not think of a reason why her mother was looking at her this way. Her lips parted and her voice sounded weak. “Mommy, why are you here?”

Li Qin Yao’s heart ached as she looked at her daughter’s weak appearance.

She could still remember that moment when she received a call from her husband, telling her that their daughter was undergoing surgery.

Li Qin Yao was so scared and worried that there was something serious going on with her daughter. She could only be at ease once Qi Zheng had explained that her daughter will be alright.

As a mother, no matter how big her children had grown up, Li Qin Yao would always worry about them.

“Li Xue, how are you feeling?” Li Qin Yao asked.

“A little thirsty.” Her throat was aching a little bit.

Li Qin Yao turned around and helped to pour her daughter a glass of water. She watched as the girl drank the water slowly before putting the glass back on the table.

.....

Then, Li Qin Yao finally remember that she had to call the doctor and let them know that her daughter is awake.

Zhang Li Xue looked at her surroundings before realizing what had happened.

Yesterday, she had a stomach ache and was taken to the hospital.

The doctor explained to her what happened and she was taken to surgery.

Her brow furrowed.

Zhang Li Xue lowered her gaze to look at the spot where she had surgery at. She was a little afraid to move around. It was the first time that she had a surgery. Zhang Li Xue was worried that a slight move would cause her discomfort.

“Mommy, where is Daddy and Yi Hai?” Zhang Li Xue recalled that it was them who have sent her to the hospital earlier.

“I sent them back home to get change.” Li Qin Yao said. “That’s right. I haven’t told them that you have woken up.”

Li Qin Yao grabbed her phone and texted the others that her daughter had woken up.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Then, a doctor in his white coat walked into the room.

Zhang Li Xue raised her head and was surprised to see that the person was someone she had not seen for a while. “Doctor Bai?”

The last time she saw him, Zhang Li Xue had run into him at a noodle shop nearby the hospital. Ever since then, she had not seen him again. That was around two months ago.

Li Qin Yao turned when she heard her daughter’s voice. “Li Xue, you know this doctor?”

“Mmm...” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “He’s Uncle Qi Zheng’s student.”

“So it’s like that.” Li Qin Yao nodded. She turned around and started to examine the young man in front of her. Since Qi Zheng had taken this young doctor as his student, then he should be a good person.

“Hello.” Bai Qi gave an amiable smile to the elder woman. “My surname is Bai. Doctor Qi should be on his way.”

After the surgery, Doctor Qi Zheng reminded him to pay attention to Zhang Li Xue.

Bai Qi was at the nurse’s station when he heard from the nurse that someone in the room had pressed the call button. His first response was to look for her first. Seeing that Zhang Li Xue had woken up made him feel more at ease.

He walked over to the bed and started to check on Zhang Li Xue’s condition. Seeing that the girl was not in any pain, Bai Qi was finally at ease.

When he looked up again, Bai Qi realized that Zhang Li Xue’s mother was looking at him.

The first time he met Zhang Li Xue’s mother, the woman was angry that he had bullied her daughter.

Li Qin Yao confronted his mother and make him apologize for his wrongdoing. In Bai QI’s memory, Zhang Li Xue’s parents were fierce.

Afterward, he seemed to grow scared of Zhang Li Xue’s mother. He had never shown up in front of her. Each time, Zhang Li Xue’s mother was around, Bai Qi would only observe her from afar.

They haven’t seen each other for years. Bai Qi hoped that Zhang Li Xue’s mother would not recognize him.

“Doctor Bai, is my daughter alright?” Li Qin Yao asked anxiously.

“Mmm... If there is no other complication, Miss Zhang should be allowed to leave the hospital after two days.”

Li Qin Yao was finally at ease. But the more she looked at this young man, the more Li Qin Yao thought that he seemed familiar. “Doctor Bai, you seemed familiar. Have we met before?”

Bai Qi was flustered when he heard the woman’s question. He was still thinking about his first encounter with Zhang Li Xue’s mother at the wedding.

If she knew that he had bullied her daughter in the past, would she still let him stay close to his little fairy?

“Mommy, you remember that I sprained my ankle at Huan Huan’s wedding. Doctor Bai was at the wedding too. He was the one who had helped me.”

Li Qin Yao’s eyes lit up when she heard her daughter’s explanation. “So it was you. Doctor Bai, thank you for helping my daughter previously.” Her impression of Bai Qi was getting better.

Zhang Li Xue watched as her mother exchanged a few polite words with the doctor. Her lips pursed into a thin line as she realized that the two of them seemed to have forgotten about her, a patient.

Then, someone knocked on the door again.

This time, Qi Zheng finally appeared. He saw that his student was in the room, chatting with Zhang Li Xue’s mother, and smiled.

“Sister-in-law,” Qi Zheng greeted He shifted his gaze to Bai Qi and spoke, “I saw that you have already met my student.”

Li Qin Yao nodded. “Mmm... I heard that he had helped Li Xue previously.”

It was then that everyone seemed to remember the reason they were all in the room. Qi Zheng walked over to the bed and gave Li Xue an inspection.

“Li Xue, how are you feeling? Is there any pain?”

“It’s not painful.”

Qi Zheng had personally done the surgery. So, he was not that worried. “Just stay at the hospital for a few days to recover. This will make your parents be at ease too.”

Zhang Li Xue recalled her father’s anxious look when he came to the office. “Mmm... I know.”
