Xiao Lin was a little surprised to see Zheng Yuru, and a little embarrassed: "Mom...Mom...you...when did you come?"
Zheng Yuru had actually been waiting here since early morning, just so that Xiao Lin could see her first thing after waking up. Worried about disturbing Xiao Lin's sleep, she didn't open the door and went in, but just waited quietly outside.
But she didn't want to burden Xiao Lin, so she lied: "I just passed by and didn't expect you to wake up. Did you sleep well? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? By the way, your wrist is injured, and you must have been poisoned. Mom will take you to the hospital for a check-up later, okay? Are you hungry?"
Xiao Lin was really a little hungry. Although he had secretly eaten something on the plane, he was busy setting up the scene after getting off the plane. He took a nap after coming back and had not eaten anything until now.
It would have been better if Zheng Yuru hadn't asked, but her question actually reminded his stomach, and he immediately felt hungry.
Xiao Lin smiled sweetly: "Mom, I'm a little hungry, can I eat something first?"
Zheng Yuru felt distressed when she heard this, and quickly took him downstairs to sit, then ran to the kitchen, made him a bowl of noodles, fried an egg, blanched some bok choy, and cut a few slices of bacon into it.
She didn't know how much Xiao Lin ate, so she made more food, but she didn't dare to make too much. She didn't expect Xiao Lin to eat it all. Zheng Yuru watched him eat, feeling distressed and nervous.
She didn't know that this was Xiao Lin's normal appetite, and she thought that Xiao Lin hadn't eaten properly since he was captured, so he was starving. At the same time, she was worried that Xiao Lin was young and didn't know how to eat, so he might have an upset stomach.
So I was very confused for a while.
It was only when Xiao Anbang told her that Xiao Lin was growing and had been eating a lot that she felt relieved.
After eating, the family went to the hospital.
In addition to Xiao Lin's physical examination, Ling Xue also needs to be examined.
Her health was not good to begin with, and they came back in a hurry this time, so they were worried that something might happen to her, so they decided to go for a check-up together.
Sure enough, after the examination, Ling Xue's physical condition was not optimistic. And the medicine she had been taking was too expensive.
When Xiao Yan and Zheng Yuru were abroad, they were well educated and were able to find well-paid jobs, earning enough money to buy this expensive medicine for Ling Xue.
Now that they have returned to China, they still haven't had time to arrange jobs. Even if they were, the salary is far from what they would receive abroad, and they simply can't afford the high prices of drugs.
When they were in Eagle Country before, someone had used this matter to persuade them, hoping that they would stay abroad for Ling Xue.
However, Ling Xue knew about this and insisted that they return home.
She would rather not take the medicine than bring shame to her family members who stayed in the country because of them.
Although Xiao Anbang had retired a long time ago, if this matter were to be exposed, he would definitely be criticized by all parties.
Their children and grandchildren who remain in the country will also be affected.
So Ling Xue insisted that they return home.
Her illness was like a heavy stone weighing on Xiao Yan and Zheng Yuru's hearts. The threatening letter and the missing books and notes made their mood even worse.
If they didn't want to worry Xiao Anbang and Ling Xue, and if Xiao Lin hadn't just returned, the couple would have collapsed long ago and wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
Now they are just holding on.
Fortunately, Xiao Lin's test results were finally a comfort to the two of them.
No drug residues were detected in his body, and apart from the abrasions on his wrists and ankles, no other injuries were found. It was a blessing in disguise.
