"Miss Tang, you don’t need to apologize. Xiao Cheng’s matter was so sudden. When transferring to Jing City, I didn’t know anyone, and I could only turn to Tang Jun. If it weren’t for Tang Jun’s help, my Xiao Cheng..." As Zhu Liniang mentioned that day, her heart was filled with anxiety.
The doctor kept issuing critical condition notices. Panicking, Zhu Liniang only knew how to cry. Eventually, the doctor suggested trying to transfer hospitals, prompting her to remember Tang Jun. With Tang Jun’s wide network, his help might spark a turnaround.
Thus, Zhu Liniang reached out to Tang Jun. In the past couple of days, after Zhou Cheng underwent two surgeries, he has slowly started to stabilize.
Zhu Liniang looked at the sleeping Zhou Cheng on the hospital bed, wiped her tears quietly, and gratefully said, "Miss Tang, truly, Tang Jun’s life-saving kindness is something I can never repay."
"We’re family. Helping each other out is the right thing to do."
Tang Yue inquired about Zhou Cheng’s current condition, learning that he was out of danger and only needed to rest well. Relieved, she smiled, "Sister-in-law, today, come to my place to rest well. I’ll take care of Xiao Cheng."
"No, no, I can take care of Xiao Cheng myself." Zhu Liniang shook her head vigorously like a rattle-drum, unable to bear leaving her son Zhou Cheng for even a moment, fearing something might happen if she turned away.
"Sister-in-law, I’ve heard you haven’t slept well for two days. Without rest, how will you have the energy to care for Xiao Cheng tomorrow?"
"You need to take good care of yourself to take good care of Xiao Cheng."
"Going forward, Xiao Cheng will still need to rely on you for recovery."
"Sister-in-law, rest assured. Tonight, I’ll look after Xiao Cheng with absolute care, without letting you worry. Can you trust me?"
Tang Yue left Zhu Liniang no room to refuse and let Tang Jun take her back home.
Tang Jun escorted Zhu Liniang back home. Zhang Hualian was already aware of Tang Yue’s plan, politely offering Zhu Liniang change of clothes and preparing a guest room for her to rest early.
"How’s Xiao Cheng? Is he alright?" Zhang Hualian quietly pulled Tang Jun aside to ask, reproaching, "Such a major incident and you didn’t even think to inform us so your dad and I could visit the child."
"Mom, I was just too busy and forgot."
Tang Jun felt a bit guilty, constantly preoccupied with Zhou Cheng’s situation, and having to juggle work matters at the hospital during the day. He genuinely forgot to inform his parents.
"Alright, you should go to bed early too. Take responsibility for Xiao Cheng’s matter, handling it well and carefully." Zhang Hualian, feeling sorry for Tang Jun, urged him to rest quickly. She said, "Tomorrow, let’s have your dad make some nutritious soups and meals to be sent to the hospital."
"Mom, don’t worry. I can handle it, thank you, Mom." Tang Jun cheerfully went back to his room to rest. Before entering his room, he paused and asked, "Mom, is brother-in-law on a business trip?"
"Yes, he left two days ago." Zhang Hualian looked questioningly at Tang Jun, asking, "Why suddenly ask about your brother-in-law out of the blue?"
