Chapter 178: Discharge from Hospital
Su Lu originally thought that Sister Chen had taken good care of her, so when Sister Chen couldn’t continue, she felt a bit regretful. But unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao took even better care of her, paying attention to every little detail.
Sometimes Su Lu couldn’t help but feel that Aunt Zhao was too meticulous, so much so that it almost felt embarrassing, as if meals and bathroom activities could just happen right there in bed.
This made the red envelope Su Lu had prepared, which was initially the same amount as the one for Sister Chen, seem too meager now, so she added more money to it.
Two days before her discharge, Aunt Zhao hesitated before asking, "Xiaolu, you’ve just had surgery and need time to rest and recover, and you need someone to take care of you. Would you like me to come home and look after you?"
"Ah... what?" Su Lu didn’t quite catch on and was a bit stunned.
Aunt Zhao immediately explained, "We can take external assignments. If you need, I can come and stay with you to provide care."
That meant hiring a full-time caretaker. Su Lu understood.
"Uh, probably... no need," Su Lu said with a smile.
She wasn’t very comfortable with letting others into her private space, even though it might be convenient to have someone around.
But Su Lu was the type who would rather give up that convenience to ensure her personal space remained her own.
Zhao Ying didn’t insist; she remembered Dean Li’s words that Su Lu indeed had emotional barriers or rather, her own definitions.
