Liao Nanxing could hardly believe it when she heard the caregiver complaining about how difficult the old lady was to take care of.
He knew that the old lady was always being fussy.
But... it can't be as the caregiver said.
The old lady's refusal to eat was particularly absurd.
It's worth noting that when Zhou Chunhua found out about his affair, she retaliated by serving the old lady instant noodles, and the old lady never refused to eat them.
If it weren't for the elderly woman in the next bed confirming the caregiver's statement, he would have suspected that the caregiver was mistreating her.
Liao Nanxing called the caregiver to the door, trying to persuade her to continue working there.
But no matter what the caregiver said, she didn't want to do it anymore.
There was nothing he could do but pay for the two days and let them go.
Back in his hospital room, he didn't say anything.
Liao Nanxing only got up and closed the ward door after the elderly woman in the next bed was helped out for a walk by her daughter.
He took one banana from the ones he had bought that day, peeled it, and handed it to the little old lady.
"Mom, there's something I want to discuss with you."
In the past, Xu Xiuzhen would have agreed without even thinking about it.
But after these two days...
Xu Xiuzhen nodded, signaling Liao Nanxing to speak.
Liao Nanxing understood, and grabbed the old lady's hand, saying, "Mom, can you take the blame for Xiaobao's injury?"
Seeing the old lady's eyes widen, Liao Nanxing quickly added, "You're old, and now you've had a stroke and are paralyzed on one side. Even if it does constitute a crime, they can't possibly lock you up."
I consulted a lawyer yesterday, and the lawyer said that in your case, you would be eligible for medical parole! However, if this happened to me, it would be a completely different story.
Let's not even talk about how long I'm locked up, even if it's just for a day, you won't have anyone to take care of you, right? Besides, if this happened to me, it would definitely affect my work.
"Mom, this time, only you can save me."
Xu Xiuzhen, who had already raised the banana, put it down again.
After all, she was just sick, not suffering from dementia.
If it affects her son's future job, then it's the same as affecting her retirement!
After much deliberation, Xu Xiuzhen had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Mom!" Liao Nanxing grabbed Xu Xiuzhen's hand excitedly, her eyes reddening. "Thank you. Don't worry, things will get better for our family once this is over."
That's right! In just over ten days, everything Li Anran has now will be his.
When the time comes, he will definitely take good care of the old lady at home.
In the following days, to put the old lady at ease, Liao Nanxing went out of his way to hire a one-on-one caregiver to stay by Xu Xiuzhen's bedside.
In the past, Xu Xiuzhen would have been so happy that she would never forget to brag to everyone how filial her son was.
Now she only feels that these are all benefits she gained by taking the blame.
As time went by, Xu Xiuzhen's condition gradually improved.
Apart from still having no feeling in her feet and her mouth still being slightly crooked, the other problems have been basically resolved.
These days, Liao Nanxing is counting down the days, working with Li Anran to change various certificates and licenses.
Su Mu finally got her child transferred to a regular ward.
Li Anran felt sorry for her and thought it was hard for her to take care of the child, so she specially hired a caregiver to help her take care of the baby.
Every day when she came home, Li Anran would prepare flowers for her and wait for her to have dinner, no matter how late it was.
Li Anran's love for her was practically written all over his face.
However, she grew more and more tired each day.
It was all because of that mysterious person who would send her several WeChat messages almost every night, causing her to either have trouble falling asleep or wake up from nightmares.
She didn't want things to continue like this.
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, she fears she might go insane one day.
However, after seven or eight days, she tried many methods but could not find a breakthrough.
Finally, she came up with a solution that would solve the problem once and for all.
That day, after handing Xiaobao over to the caregiver, she went home early.
First, she washed herself until she smelled wonderful, and then she personally cooked several dishes that Li Anran liked.
Finally, we gave the housekeeper a day off, and then decorated the house with romantic candles and red wine that Li Anran liked.
As soon as Li Anran entered the room after being out all day, she saw a heart shape made of rose petals on the ground.
Then countless petals formed a red carpet leading directly to the dining room.
The red candlelight flickered all around, creating a warm and ambiguous atmosphere.
"Mumu?" he called softly, but there was no response.
I stepped on the flower petals and entered the dining room.
On the table sat steaming, delicious food, with candlesticks and red wine in the center.
But they still couldn't see Su Mu.
After walking around, he saw that the petals extended all the way up the stairs.
Guided by the petals, he arrived at the second floor.
He walked straight into the bedroom where Su Mu lived.
These days, he has been sleeping in a separate room from Su Mu.
He believes that loving someone is not about possessing them, but about respecting them.
After that day, as long as Su Mu did not express his desires, he would not cross the line.
Arriving at Su Mu, he looked at the flower petals on the ground, but still stopped and knocked on the door.
"Mumu? Are you in there?"
There has still been no response.
In the pitch-black room, he could only vaguely see that no one was inside.
Li Anran began to worry.
Could it be... that something happened?
Without thinking twice, he entered the room and was about to turn on the light when he saw a faint light coming from inside the glass door of the bathroom.
At that moment, Li Anran almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Could it be... that Mumu is...?
Not daring to think any further, I dropped my coat and rushed into the bathroom.
Just as Li Anran pushed open the door...
With a splash, a sound came from the bathtub.
Li Anran looked in the direction of the sound and saw Su Mu standing in the bathtub, covered in glistening dewdrops and bright red rose petals.
Her graceful curves are on full display.
At this moment, Su Mu stood there like an art sculpture, allowing him to admire her.
"Gulp." Li Anran couldn't help but swallow.
The hands hanging by his sides were already covered in sweat.
"Wu, wood..."
Su Mu stepped out of the bathtub.
She walked towards him step by step.
With each step she took, some of the dew and petals on her body would fall off.
And Li Anran's heart, too, would lose its rhythm as the petals fell.
As the gentle, moist sensation soaked his shirt, pierced his skin, and reached his soul, Su Mu's alluring voice, like a soft chant, rang in his ears: "An Ran, do you like the gift I prepared for you?"
Finally... the desire that Anran had suppressed in her heart broke free of its cage like a wild beast.
"like!"
He couldn't even wait to carry her to bed; he eagerly unwrapped his surprise right there.
At this moment, Li Anran felt that all her efforts had been worthwhile!
