Chapter 122: Unable to Write the Word ’Song’ Twice with a Single Stroke
Once the family banquet ended, Song Zhicheng followed his elder brother into the study for a conversation. The two brothers each held a cup of tea as they sat in front of the desk, and before Song Zhiyuan lay a stack of documents, all collected and organized by Song Zhicheng.
"Elder brother, is mother really doing well? She seems to not remember things," Song Zhicheng frowned as he looked at his older brother, his usual carefree demeanor in Chunhui Hall completely gone.
Song Zhiyuan, flipping through the stack of documents, looked up at these words and said, "She’s had a stroke, causing memory loss. The longer it goes on, the more she’ll forget."
Song Zhicheng’s expression changed.
"Elder brother, this..."
Song Zhiyuan pursed his lips and said, "Lu Courtyard’s doctor says there’s nothing we can do about it. Forgetting things is still better than being bedridden and unable to care for herself, and more than..."
He didn’t finish, but how could Song Zhicheng not understand? Better than losing her entirely.
Yet, even so, he couldn’t help but feel heartache and sadness. His mother, who had suffered for most of her life and finally started to enjoy happiness in her later years, had to suffer such a fate.
His mother, what a hard life!
Song Zhicheng, a man in his thirties, felt such deep sorrow that his eyes turned red.
"Now, Mother has a medical maid attending to her. Her condition is also improving, and her complexion is much better compared to when she first fell ill. Aside from not remembering some things, her disposition has lightened significantly. We should be grateful for that."
