The car stopped at the entrance of the inpatient department, and Pan Tingxu watched Lin Xiao rush into the elevator.

In the elevator, she couldn't think about what happened with Pan Tingxu. All she could think about was her mother lying haggard in the hospital bed.

The moment the door opened, Lin Xiao couldn't bear it anymore. She rushed to the door of the ward and staggered in.

"Sister, shush."

Lin Xingxing quickly stood up, caught Lin Xiao who almost fell, and then gently pointed towards the hospital bed.

"The doctor has just finished the injection. Be quiet and don't disturb mom."

Suddenly, Lin Xiao nodded repeatedly, stood on tiptoes and walked towards the hospital bed.

The sight of his mother in front of him made Lin Xiao's heart palpitate.

She was less than sixty years old, but with wrinkles like waves and a head full of white hair, she looked like she was seventy or eighty years old.

Lin Xiao shed a few tears on the hospital bed. She remembered that her father died early and her mother worked three jobs during the day and went to the night market to set up a stall at night, which stretched her and her brother.

Later, she married Li Mingye and became a noble wife. She lived a life that was envied by everyone and no longer had to worry about money.

But my mother was still worried.

"Xiao Xiao, you have no father and have given up your job. You will definitely be bullied by your husband's family in the future. I will leave this house and these gold jewelry to you. This way, mom won't worry about you having no place to go in the future."

His mother's words echoed in his mind, and Lin Xiao became more and more sad the more he thought about it.

There are so many people in this world, but only my mother loves me unreservedly.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao held his mother's hand and pressed his face against the rough back of the hand, "Mom, I'm Xiao Xiao. I'm back. Look at me."

Lin Xingxing, who was on the side, clenched his fists, looked at the injury on Lin Xiao's foot, and opened and closed his lips.

He knew that some words should not be said in front of his sister and mother, so he left the ward silently.

In the corridor, Lin Xingxing called Li Mingye.

"Brother-in-law, you don't know what happened tonight? Why did you let my sister go to the hospital alone in the rain and barefoot?"

It was only then that Li Mingye on the other end of the phone became serious.

"Which hospital? I'll be there soon."

After a few simple words, Lin Xingxing went to the nurse's station to ask for a pair of disposable slippers and returned to the ward.

"Just put on some makeshift clothes for now, you need to get cold."

He didn't tell Lin Xiao about the phone call.
