Chapter 37: Known from before
Jia, Dai Meihui and Ma Yanyu waited outside the ward as Mingshen got occupied with checking Ma Zhilan's condition. Ma Yanyu was busy typing rapidly on her phone as she paced back and forth.
Dai Meihui prayed. "I hope it won't be anything serious."
Jia smiled. "I am sure she will be fine."
She then asked, "How is Yun? I gather you and Dai Fengge would have fought, which in front of a child is..."
"Yun is fine. I made sure that he was asleep before I confronted Fengge..." she slightly shivered, tears threatening to spill out of her eyes. "It's good that Yun is at the daycare now or he would have insisted on coming with me."
"Have you told him the truth of Mrs. Dai's death? It will be hard for him to understand."
"Yes, indeed. I told him that Grandma will be out of town for a while..."
She nodded in understanding. "That is actually better. Yun was quite shaken that day in the theater," she pursed her lips. "I hope he is doing okay. If at any time during this case, you need any help with Yun's care, please don't hesitate to call me. Officer Xiyang will be more than happy to babysit."
"Thank you so much. I really appreciate your support."
"You look really tired, Mrs. Dai," Jia expressed her concern. "You should go home and rest."
Dai Meihui let out a feeble smile. "I want to be here maybe because...she is the mother-in-law I wished I had. I felt at home when I saw her back then," her gaze looked faraway in the distance. "I thought I could just be here for support."
