Chapter 616: Joyful Event
"Hurry and support your mom. She has just recovered and needs to take it slowly; don’t let her get too tired," Bai Xiao urged Zhang Han with a push.
Zhang Han quickly rushed over and helped Li Jiao to her feet.
By then, Wei Jianling had already walked in, utterly astonished.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, you... you can walk... now..."
Anyone who saw a person who had been paralyzed for over a decade in everyone’s memory suddenly stand up and take a few steps, even though Zhang Han was supporting her, would be deeply shocked by such a sight.
Likewise, Li Jiao was not particularly fond of Wei Jianling. The two hardly interacted; Li Jiao had been paralyzed for many years, staying indoors and not meeting people from outside, but that didn’t prevent her from hearing gossip from her daughter. This woman had moved into the neighborhood just over a month ago and had quickly become infamous throughout the entire compound.
Nobody could really feel good about such a person, but today was a happy day, and all of that seemed trivial.
"Wei sister, it’s all thanks to Doctor Bai. Thank you, Doctor Bai. Your tremendous kindness; I would work like an ox or horse for the rest of my life to repay you," Li Jiao said, visibly moved. The ability to walk and not lie in bed like a dead person, dependent on others, was a relief to her and her daughter. Even if she still couldn’t do much, at least she could visit the bathroom on her own, sparing her daughter the constant trips back and forth.
That was more than enough.
