One week later, Lin Yixun finally couldn't resist Lin's mother's persuasion and had to agree to go back to work. But she had one condition—her mother couldn't be discharged from the hospital.
To set her mind at ease, Lin Yixun specifically hired a caretaker. During work hours, the caretaker looked after Lin's mother, and after work, she would come to the hospital.
Although Lin's mother's condition was relatively stable, Lin Yixun understood that this was only temporary. She was burning with anxiety but could do nothing but wait.
That day, Lin Yixun came back from work and saw Lin's mother chatting and laughing with the patient in the neighboring bed. Her complexion and spirits were much better than a few days ago.
Lin Yixun couldn't help but be happy, "Mom, what are you and Aunt Wu talking about that's making you so happy?"
Perhaps it was because of mutual sympathy; in these few days in the ward, her mother and Aunt Wu from the next bed had become familiar.
