Fortunately, her relative was hospitalized here, so she could ask her relative about her familyâs situation.
Just as she thought this, ring ring ring, the phone rang.
Taking out his phone, Zhang Huayao saw the word "Mother" as the contact and exclaimed, "Oh dear."
Teacher Lu was worried every day that her son might steal away her new favorite, so she called with urgency.
Not wanting to answer, but fearing his mother would become more suspicious, Zhang Huayao reluctantly pressed the answer button and asked, "What is it?"
Not fooled by her sonâs fake urgency, Teacher Lu asked, "I heard from someone that Yingying went home, and I couldnât reach her phone this afternoon or evening. Is she with you?"
Zhang Huayao almost thought his mother had eyes everywhere and denied, "No. How would I know where she is? The ER here is so busy."
"Tell me, are you lying?"
The person who knows a son best is his mother.
Zhang Huayao remained expressionless, "Why would I lie? I already said, Iâm too busy for that."
"I know youâre definitely lying."
Similarly, the person who knows a mother best is her son. Zhang Huayao wasnât intimidated by his old motherâs words and said, "Iâm really busy. Letâs talk when I get home. If you need help finding her, let me know." With that, he hung up before she could say anything else.
Though his mother was angry, knowing he was busy, she didnât dare call again.
Holding his phone, Zhang Huayao looked out into the nightâs darkness, a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
The intervention surgery was successfully completed, and the patient was sent to the ICU. Xie Wanying followed Senior Brother Shim as they left.
Doctor Li Xiaofeng took her older cousinâs medical records to fulfill the instructions from the senior doctor.
"There are no beds available today, so your family will have to stay in the ER for one night and be transferred to our Cardiology Department Three tomorrow," Shim Youhuan told his junior sister.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Shim." Xie Wanying knew that getting a bed at Guo Zhi Hospital within a day or two was extremely difficult; her senior brother had definitely been a great help.
"Are you staying here tonight?" Shim Youhuan sensed that she probably wouldnât leave and asked.
"Yes." Since her cousin and his wife were in an unfamiliar place, they might feel uneasy the first night. It was best for her to stay, observe her cousinâs condition, and comfort his wife.
"Iâll have the nurse get an accompanying bed ready for you tonight. You can take turns resting." Shim Youhuan coordinated some issues for her.
Xie Wanying thanked him repeatedly.
Shim Youhuanâs last words were to calm her down: "Donât worry, letâs have a thorough check before discussing further."
No matter how composed the junior sister seemed, simply watching her constantly review the records after arriving, her senior brother could tell she was anxious inside.
"Call me anytime if thereâs anything. Iâm available 24/7." Before leaving, Shim Youhuan reminded her again.
Without standing on ceremony with him, Xie Wanying nodded.
After her senior brother got off work, Xie Wanying walked alone back to the ER to find her cousin and cousin-in-law. At the bedside, she saw that her cousinâs vital signs were stable. Cousin-in-law Shang Siling seemed to have been called for a talk with Doctor Li Xiaofeng. When she returned and saw her, she asked, "Have you had dinner, Yingying?"
"Iâve eaten. Cousin-in-law, have you eaten?" Xie Wanying turned around to speak.
"Of course, I have eaten. Your cousin seemed to be in a good mood tonight, eating a bit more than usual." Shang Siling smiled slightly, feeling hopeful after arriving in the Capital.
