“I’m working the night shift, so I took a day off to come here. What’s wrong with Third Brother?” The other woman was probably the youngest daughter, who was a doctor.

The noise was deafening, everyone was filled with resentment, and not a single person thought to ask about their mother's health. Ye Qingqing summarized it thus—

They're all ingrates!

Wang Jie, who was lying on the hospital bed, had looked a little better, but now she was deathly pale. Her lips were trembling and her body was shaking. Ye Qingqing was startled and quickly comforted her, "Don't get angry. Take a deep breath and calm down, or you'll have to go through another surgery."

Sister Wang was furious, but Ye Qingqing's teasing made her laugh instead. Her eyes reddened, and she was filled with emotion, realizing that her four ungrateful children were not as kind as a stranger!

Let's just pretend she never gave birth to these beasts!

"I'm not angry. If I were, I would have been furious long ago. I'm used to it, I don't get angry... I'm easygoing." Sister Wang wiped her eyes and forced a smile, but everyone knew she was lying. How could she really not care?

If she had truly come to terms with it, she wouldn't have spent her own money to buy those clothes and jewelry, lying that her children bought them. She was both saving face for her children and comforting herself, even though it was all fake.

"Mom, when did you get heart disease? I've never heard you mention it before."

The four children finally came in. The man who asked the questions looked a lot like Liang Deping. He must be the eldest son who had just come off the operating table. He sounded like a very responsible and good doctor. But he saved other people's lives and didn't even know that his own mother had a heart condition.

Ye Qingqing doesn't think that such a doctor is a good doctor. The foundation of universal love is loving yourself, loving your family, loving your relatives and friends, and then extending to strangers. If you can't even love your own mother, wouldn't it seem hypocritical to love others?

"Aren't you a doctor? Your mother's lips are purple, her face is pale, and she's breathing rapidly. Her fingernails are also turning purple. This didn't happen overnight. Can't you tell?"

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but scoff. Anyone with a little medical knowledge would know that what she was talking about were signs of heart disease. How could her eldest son, an experienced doctor, not see that?

Unless it's been a long time since I last visited my mother.

The eldest son looked a little embarrassed. He hadn't visited his mother in a long time and had no idea what was going on. But he was so busy with work that he didn't even have time to spend with his wife and children. Thinking about it this way, the eldest son felt justified again.

He's a white-clad angel who saves lives, saving countless lives, and he doesn't even have enough time to sleep. His mother will understand.

"I didn't have time to go to Mom's, why didn't you tell me? Delin, how come you didn't notice? Even if you're a novice, you should have been able to see such obvious signs about Mom, right?"

The eldest son was complaining about his youngest daughter. He said that his second and third sons were not doctors and could not tell that something was wrong, but his youngest sister was a medical student and could not tell that something was wrong.

“If you don’t have time, I do. I have to go to work, do housework, and take care of the kids. I wish I could transform into seventy-two different people. My sister-in-law is a teacher and has a lot of free time. Doesn’t she even have time to see Mom?”

The youngest daughter cried out in protest, looking aggrieved. She was so busy that her bones felt like they were about to fall apart. Her son was about to enter junior high school, which was a crucial time. She hadn't been shopping for several months. Her life consisted of going between school, home, and the hospital. She even had to stop by to buy groceries on her way home from get off work.

Her son studies hard, so he eats whatever he wants for breakfast and lunch at school. But he absolutely can't be careless with dinner; he has to make sure he gets enough nutrition. So she has to come up with all sorts of creative ways to cook dinner. She spends more time looking at recipes than medical books, and her head is about to explode.
