Chapter 40: Won't Let You Wait Too Long

Chen Wei, annoyed, scratched his head, knowing she made sense: "In that case, since I just got back from the car and can rest today, tomorrow I'll take you to the hospital in the city."

That woman leaned back into Chen Wei's arms again: "Brother Wei, I'll do whatever you say."

With her warm fragrance and soft body in his arms, having enjoyed many sweet benefits, he had actually forgotten his promise to his own grandfather.

Until night fell: "Xiao Ru, it's getting late; I have to go back. I'll come pick you up early tomorrow morning."

The woman hugged him, refusing to let him go, and coquettishly said, "Can't I just not let you go?"

Chen Wei soothed her for quite a while: "Once the examination results come out tomorrow, I'll lay my cards on the table with my family; I won't let you wait too long."

Having obtained the promise she wanted, she only then reluctantly saw him out of the hospital.

Watching him walk away, the woman turned and closed the courtyard gate.

Instinctively touching her belly, a triumphant smile appeared on her lips: Even if the Chen elders disagree, so what? As long as Chen Wei's heart is with her, she is determined to enter the Chen family.

The departing Chen Wei was not having it easy; just now, with her warm fragrance and soft body in his arms, he had dared to promise anything.

Now, blown by the cold wind, his mind cleared up considerably, and he actually knew fear.

In the hospital, Liu Chuxue's father's surgery went very smoothly.

After Vice Dean Sun came out, he specifically instructed the mother and daughter, pointing to the doctor beside him: "The follow-up treatment will be handled by this Doctor Jiang; if there's anything you don't understand, just consult him."

Since Vice Dean Sun had said so, Doctor Jiang naturally couldn't act aloof: "If there's anything, come directly to my office to find me."

After thanking them repeatedly, the mother and daughter followed the nurse to take Liu Chuxue's father to the ward.

The little nurse who had brought them over instructed the mother and daughter on some precautions, then left.

Seeing that Liu Chuxue's father wouldn't wake up anytime soon: "Mom, you watch over my father; I'll step out for a bit."

Liu Chuxue's mother was somewhat uneasy: "Xue, this isn't our countryside; everything is strange here. Don't go too far."

She really wanted to stop her daughter, but Vice Dean Sun had also said they couldn't be discharged anytime soon: "How about you stay here watching your father, and I..."

Liu Chuxue knew what she was worried about and spoke up to stop her: "Did you forget how strong I am?"

Seeing her mother about to say more: "We're going to be staying here for quite a while. Didn't Vice Dean Sun say we must ensure my father's nutrition during this time? We have to figure something out, right?"

Hearing her daughter's words, Liu Chuxue's mother's eyes immediately turned red. Given their family's situation, they couldn't even afford the medicine, let alone add nutrition; it was all their fault as parents for being useless: "Then come back early."

Liu Chuxue didn't rush to leave; instead, she took a large bowl out of the bundle she had brought: "Mom, I'll go get some hot water first."

This family was truly poor; the bowl they brought when leaving home was coarse porcelain; a porcelain enamel mug was something they couldn't even dream of.

The family member in the next bed, hearing she was going to get water, kindly reminded her: "Miss, to get hot water you have to go to the boiler room behind the first floor; cold water is available on every floor."

"Thank you, Auntie, for the reminder."

Seeing that Liu Chuxue was so polite, that auntie smiled and praised Liu Chuxue's mother: "Big Sister, your daughter looks good and speaks politely; she's quite a delight. You and your husband really know how to raise children."

Hearing others praise her daughter, the worry lines on Liu Chuxue's mother's face lessened: "We two are just rough people; it's all thanks to the school teachers who taught her well."

"Sister-in-law, you are truly modest."

Liu Chuxue's mother's tone carried pride: "I'm speaking the truth; my daughter will graduate from high school in another half year."
