Chapter 160 I’ll Take Care
As Jiang Xue walked in, she immediately noticed her mother’s exhausted face and her father’s pale complexion. This time, his face looked much worse than the last time she saw him.
Seeing her parents like this, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt. It was all her fault for being useless, not only failing to honor them properly but also causing them trouble.
"Daughter, why are you here?" Father Jiang, lying in the hospital bed, was the first to see Jiang Xue, his face lighting up with joy.
"Dad, I’ve come to see you." Jiang Xue smiled and walked to her father’s bedside, looking at him and asking, "Dad, how are you feeling? Any better?"
"This illness is what it is, nothing much better or worse." Father Jiang dismissed Jiang Xue’s concern, while Mrs. Jiang wanted to speak but held back after catching Father Jiang’s warning glance.
Jiang Xue knew her father didn’t want her to worry, which was why he said that. She didn’t contradict him but turned to Mrs. Jiang and said, "Mom, you’ve been taking care of Dad for several days now; you must be tired. Why don’t you go home and rest? I’ll take care of Dad."
"I’m fine, but it’s you who should be concerned; there’s a child at home. Just stay for a while and then go back; the child is too small and needs someone there."
"It’s fine, the child is being looked after by my parents-in-law. I’ll just call them, and it will be all right." Before going to the Jiang Family Village, Jiang Xue had already informed her in-laws that she might return a little late. Besides, she had prepared the bamboo marrow for Little Reunion, so it wouldn’t be an issue if she stayed longer.
"But what if the child needs milk?" Mrs. Jiang said disapprovingly. A child that young cannot eat anything else.
"I left milk at home this morning, so if the child gets hungry, my in-laws can just feed him."
"But..." Mrs. Jiang wanted to say something more, but Father Jiang interrupted her, saying, "Old lady, listen to our daughter and go take a break for half the day, and come back later."
