The next day was Friday, and there were no classes in the afternoon.
The driver was already waiting outside the East Gate. Ye Li got in the car and headed straight for the hospital.
Before I even got close, I could hear the cheerful laughter coming from the ward.
Ye Li hurried forward and saw Aunt Lan and her mother sitting and lying down respectively.
Aunt Lan held a fruit plate in her hands, peeling apples while watching TV intently.
Mom was even more comfortable.
She was half-lying on the bed, holding a crystal fruit plate in her arms, with melon seeds, dried fruit, and large red dates clearly visible.
On the TV, it was an extra episode of a variety show that had just been updated at noon.
Ye Li smiled and quietly went over to sit on the sofa.
During the commercial break, Li Xueqing turned around, her face lighting up with delight, "Ali's here?"
Ye Li stepped forward with a smile.
Li Xueqing pinched her cheek reproachfully, "You're getting more and more disobedient as you get older! Mom said it's okay, Aunt Lan is here, just focus on your studies and stop coming here all the time."
It had only been a little over two months, but Ye Li felt as if she hadn't heard her mother's gentle nagging for a century.
Hearing it again now, I feel even warmer.
"good……"
Ye Li responded in a coquettish tone, then snuggled into her mother's arms.
Gently patting Ye Li's back as if soothing a baby, Li Xueqing tentatively asked, "Why hasn't He Chen come these past two days? Ah Li, have you two made up?"
Ye Li paused.
A buzzing sound rang out, and the hospital bed was slowly raised.
Ye Li straightened up, looked at her mother whose face had become serious, and said with a terrible headache, "Mom, I have exams coming up, my mind is full of exam points, how can I have time to deal with him!"
As she spoke, Ye Li narrowed her eyes, "Mom, don't you like me anymore? Actually, you like Zhou Hechen more, right? How about I call him and have him come peel an ugly apple for you? When he gets here, I'll disappear on the spot, okay?"
!!
The focus quickly shifted away.
Li Xueqing laughed and got angry at the same time. Pointing at Ye Li, she complained to Aunt Lan, "Look at that! I only said one sentence, and she has a whole host of things to say. I don't know who spoiled her like that!"
"Yeah... I wonder who spoiled him like that!"
Aunt Lan nodded in agreement, her face beaming with smiles.
After having lunch together, Li Xueqing urged Ye Li to go back to school, "Didn't you say you had exams coming up soon? Go back now. It's only a few more days of hard work, and we'll go home after the exams!"
Go...home?
Ye Li was taken aback.
Beside her, Aunt Lan said softly, "Madam said that since she's already resting in the hospital, it's better to go home. I asked the doctor, and he said that it's fine to recuperate at home, and she just needs to come back for regular check-ups."
Mental illnesses, especially those like Li Xueqing's that occur suddenly, have no quick and effective medical treatments.
The only thing that can be done is for the patient to maintain a relaxed and happy mood, supplemented by medication.
Leave the rest to time.
Ye Li nodded, but felt uneasy inside.
The Ye family villa is filled with the shadow and presence of Dad. Seeing this will surely make Mom miss Dad even more.
The thought had barely crossed my mind when I heard my mother's suspicious voice, "Sister Lan, I told you yesterday to bring my phone so I could call Brother Shen, have you forgotten?"
Ye Li's heart stopped beating suddenly.
Looking up again, I saw Aunt Lan turn around and pull out her phone from her suitcase. "I remember, I remember... Didn't I bring it for you?"
It was too late to stop her; Ye Li watched helplessly as Li Xueqing pulled out "Brother Shen's" number from her contacts and dialed it.
beep.
Dudu.
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Ye Li's heart, which had been plunging into an icy lake, suddenly stopped.
The call connected in the next instant.
