Chapter 304 - No One Took Care Of Her Like This (1/2)
Mo family.
Li Qin, having been discharged from hospital for two days, was sitting at the gate of the house. It was June, not too hot. Besides, during evening sunset, it was very cool with gentle breeze.
She sat in a wheelchair, her eyes fixed on the setting sun in the distance.
It was said the sun would dim when it set in the west. When people got old, just like the setting sun, would disappear from the sky in a short time.
Although she was only in her fifties, she was indeed old. Worse still, this serious illness almost took away half of her life. Now she lived with the help of the wheelchair. She could not even stretch her left hand freely, which would tremble from time to time.
Even having meals, she needed to be fed by his son. The only satisfaction was that now she did not lisp as she did one month ago. After some rehabilitation training and treatment, she could now speak like a normal person.
Usually, people could not think of others' kindness unless they lost it, and so did she.
During her two months' stay in hospital, there were some relatives and friends visiting her at first, but later they did not come. Except for a nursing worker and Wu Xiaomin, other people rarely came in the second month. Her son was also hospitalized for surgery during this period, so she was almost totally taken care of by maids and nursing workers.
At first, they all treated her well, but after a long time, they were tired of it. After all, she was paralyzed, so she could not even relieve herself, which would inevitably made others detest.
Also during this period, she remembered her daughter-in-law He Xiyan. She used to be caught in the same illness. At that time, He Xiyan took care of her, patient and careful, almost there every day beside her bed. This time, however, she had not been cared for like this.
Now she realized that she had never really been good to that girl. She had scolded and satirized her coldly, never showing her a nice face. Even the things that girl sent to her, she had never used or worn. Now, however, there would be no one sending her anything during festivals.
Whether expensive or not, there would just be nothing.
Gifts sent by relatives were just to pay back their good turn.
Today, she finally realized that what she had lost was not only a grandson she longed for, but also a daughter-in-law who treated her as her own mother. However, once she lost them, they were nowhere to be found forever.
