"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be this morning... Mom, please be patient and wait. We need to wait until the lab doctor is on duty... They are already expediting the tests for us."

Lu Jia chimed in, "Yes, Auntie... Don't be anxious at this time... Michael and I are here for you. No matter how big the difficulty, we will definitely get through it!"

My mother held Lu Jia's hand tightly, as if she had found someone she could trust and rely on.

At that moment, it seemed as if some of the ice in my heart melted between their hands... I finally understood why Lu Jia insisted on staying with me. No matter how strong I am, there will be times when I am vulnerable and insecure. I need some powerful words to support myself, and she is the one whose words carry that power.

I couldn't help but recall the message she sent me not long ago... She said: If I still had a choice, no matter how many difficulties I encountered, I would never abandon me and leave me to bear the indifference and disasters of this world alone...

She seems to be doing that.

...

Around 9:30, Bai Lu also came to the ward, along with Yang Sisi... Yang Sisi didn't talk much. After giving the fruit she bought to my mother, she stood behind Bai Lu and didn't interrupt no matter what we were saying.

Around ten o'clock, Bai Lu's phone rang. She glanced at me before answering the call.

This gesture made my heart leap into my throat. I stared at her; I knew the call was from her friend in the lab. (To chat with more like-minded people about "My Tenant Miss," follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat to read the novel, discuss life, and find kindred spirits~)
