Chapter 393 - I’m Already Used To It (1/2)

Thankfully, Xiang Caiping was in great condition. All her stats seemed to be stable.

Huo Jinyao saw Su Qingsang heaving a breath of relief the moment he emerged from the washroom and stepped forward.

“Why didn’t you sleep a little longer? You didn’t get much rest last night.”

“I did. The one who didn’t sleep was you, no?”

“I’m used to it.” Huo Jinyao squeezed her hand. “I’ve already called Yang Wenchang to send some breakfast over. Have something to eat later and don’t tire yourself out. I’ve already instructed him to hire two care workers. Let them do the work.”

“I’m fine, and I don’t need care workers. I want to take care of my mom on my own.”

“I just hope that you won’t tire yourself out.” Huo Jinyao disagreed with her decision. “Wife, you have to understand. With your mom being in a state like this, she won’t recover in a day or two. She needs long-term care, and you can’t always do it on your own. Even a tiger needs a nap sometimes. You can’t just wear yourself out till you fall sick while taking care of Mom, right?”

“I know.” Su Qingsang couldn’t find a way to refute him. “I’ll still take care of her today, I promise you that. When my mom wakes, I’ll see how it goes before I decide.”

“Alright.” As long as she doesn’t insist on taking care of her alone.

Yang Wenchang turned up very quickly with breakfast in hand. However, there was only one serving.

“Aren’t you going to eat?”

“I’m heading home for a bit.” Huo Jinyao looked at the time. “I have a meeting today, so I can only be here in the evening.”

“It’s fine.” Su Qingsang knew that he was tired after two days. “Go and settle your things, I can handle this myself. I’m a staff member of this hospital. They’ll help me out.”

“That’s good.” Huo Jinyao gave her shoulder a pat. “Call me if there’s anything.”

“Alright.”

Su Qingsang gave him a hug before he left. She broke away from it quickly and stepped back, her gaze reflecting the resilience in her heart.

Huo Jinyao was tempted. If it wasn’t for Yang Wenchang standing there, he would pull this woman into his arms and kiss her passionately.

“Let’s go.” Signaling for Yang Wenchang to head out, Huo Jinyao planted a kiss on Su Qingsang’s cheek the moment he turned around.

Su Qingsang glanced at Yang Wenchang’s direction anxiously. She gave Huo Jinyao a gentle smack, but her eyes reflected the hint of a smile.

“I’ll send somebody to bring you lunch later. The food in this hospital doesn’t taste good.”

“Okay,” Su Qingsang nodded. She watched as Huo Jinyao walked out, her cheek still bearing the trace of warmth from his lips.

She blinked, then turned around and sat by the bed again. She took out the lunchbox and stared at Xiang Caiping, who was still in a deep slumber.

“Look, Mom. I’m eating alone again because you’re not awake yet. Wake up. Wake up and join me for breakfast.”

Xiang Caiping remained still. Su Qingsang felt her eyes turning a little moist. No hurry. She finished her breakfast.

She got some water and cleaned Xiang Caiping’s face and hands. After she was done, the doctors came in for a routine check.

Dr. Jiang from yesterday wasn’t here. Today, two other doctors were on duty, the same ones who operated on Xiang Caiping.

“Dr. Su, you’re here to take care of her?” Dr. Li looked at Su Qingsang and then at Xiang Caiping. “Your mom’s doing pretty well today. The anesthetic has worn off, so she might wake up soon. Don’t worry.”

“Alright. Thanks, Dr. Li.”

“You’re welcome. Her hip, however — she has injured it before, so she has to be more careful about it in the future. Or else, it might affect her mobility and interfere with her daily activities.”
