Chapter 423: 416: So It's His Mother

They were escorted by a helicopter to the airport, their belongings safely stored in a box under special protection. Seeing this, Tang Zhinian felt a bit embarrassed. Did they really need to baby these items? At home, they just tossed stuff into the fridge. He even had to dig around in the fridge before he found them.

The plane he was on was luxurious and private, carrying only him and Chengcheng, along with a few doctors dressed in protective suits. Chengcheng, the naïve kid, was still peering out the window at the fluffy clouds below.

At the sight of this, Tang Zhinian couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. What a silly son he has.

Tang Yuxin opened the door to the ward and stepped inside – the woman in the room was still unconscious.

She walked over, sat down, then reached out to grasp the woman’s wrist, pressing her finger on her Hegu Acupoint. As she pressed down, the woman’s delicate eyebrows twitched slightly, showing signs of waking.

The woman opened her eyes and smiled faintly at Tang Yuxin.

“Thank you.”@@novelbin@@

“You’re welcome,” Tang Yuxin stood up and adjusted the woman’s medication to drip slower.

“Where’s your family? Why are you here alone? You should know your own health condition. You can’t be alone outside,” Tang Yuxin said. The woman had severe neuroasthenia and hypoglycemia. Although not considered a disease, she could faint easily and shouldn’t be alone outside.

“Sister?” At the sound of this title, the woman almost laughed.

“I’m almost fifty and you still call me ‘sister’. This makes me feel rather rejuvenated.”

“You look young, sister,” Tang Yuxin said. She could see the woman’s age, but she liked to call people ‘sister’. What woman didn’t like to be referred to as younger?

Like Ren Li, she always referred to her as ‘sister’. Despite Ren Li always insisting on calling her ‘stepmom’, it was clear she preferred ‘sister’.

And the woman before her did look young. She didn’t seem fifty, but like she was in her early forties, perhaps due to a naturally youthful face and good skin, and her careful maintenance to keep this youthful look.

“May I have your family’s contact information? I can notify them for you.”

Tang Yuxin sat back down, intending to ask the woman again. She needed her family by her side, even if what she had wasn’t a disease, she still needed care.

“No need, I know my body well,” the woman sighed. She thought Tang Yuxin looked familiar.

“Are you a new doctor here? I haven’t seen you before,” she asked. She was a regular patient at the military hospital, she had been admitted there several times.

“I haven’t graduated yet,” Tang Yuxin admitted, feeling like a duck being pushed onto a shelf. Labeled as an intern, she felt more like she was forced into this role.

“Still a student?” the woman appeared lost in some memory. “Young people these days are indeed incredible.”

Tang Yuxin always believed herself to be a very ordinary person. If anyone was incredible, it would be Gu Ning with his military achievements, those were admirable. Anyone would be proud to have such a son, but she didn’t want her future child to become like Gu Ning. It was too hard.

“By the way, do you have any relatives here? I can help you find them. You’ll have to stay a few days in the hospital. It’s not a disease, but it’s hard to recuperate, you’ll need someone to take care of you.”

“My son’s company is just across. So you don’t need to worry about me.” The woman placed her hands on the blanket. Her fingers were still very beautiful, despite her age. It was easy to imagine her beauty when she was young. Tang Yuxin thought if this woman lived in ancient times, she could’ve easily been a noblewoman based on her dignified and grand demeanour.

“Do you have a phone number?” Tang Yuxin took out her phone, ready to assist the woman in contacting her son.

The woman recited a series of numbers. As the woman said the numbers, Tang Yuxin dialed them. But when she finished, an unexpected name appeared on her phone screen.

Uncle Gu…

She didn’t believe it and had the woman repeat the number.

“Sister, there’s no mistake, right?”

“No, it’s correct,” the woman smiled. Of course, she’d remember her son’s phone number clearly.

“Is your son named Gu Ning?” Tang Yuxin carefully asked, not believing the odds, this woman was Gu Ning’s mother.

The woman straightened up, “Do you know my Xiaoning? Oh right, you’re a doctor, you should probably know him. He works in the security company across.”

“I’m just an intern,” said Tang Yuxin, the involuntary intern. She resignedly put the phone to her ear, and a deep voice came from the other end.

“Uncle Gu, it’s me.” She took a deep breath. “Your mom is in the hospital.”

Before long, Gu Ning pushed the door open. His spirit seemed a bit low, but not terribly so. Tang Yuxin felt that no matter how many more wounds he received, there would be little impact on him. This man had an exceptional ability to recover.

“Mom, are you okay?” Gu Ning rushed over and sat in front of his mother. “Didn’t we tell you not to come? Your mother is with us, nothing will happen to her.” His mother’s weak health was known to all. A little carelessness could cause her to faint, let alone the long distance she had traveled.

“I was worried about your grandma and wanted to see her. I didn’t expect this to happen. It’s nothing, just an old problem,” she patted her son’s shoulder. “Thanks to this young doctor.”

‘Young doctor’ – hearing this made Tang Yuxin want to crysome more. She was a student, not a doctor.

“Mom, rest for now,” Gu Ning helped his mother to lie down. “Don’t worry about grandma. My dad will be back in a few days, so don’t worry about anything.”
