Lu Jingheng didn't eat much at lunch either. Xu Rubao was worried because he didn't have a good appetite. She wondered if he would have another attack in the evening.
There's not much I can do to help him now, at most I can cook rice and make some soup, trying my best to make sure he eats well.
At least, if I eat more, I'll have some energy even if the attack flares up.
The thought of how he used to be here all by himself made her feel a pang of heartache.
He was such a proud person, yet he wouldn't let anyone in, and there was only instant noodles in the kitchen. It's quite pitiful to think about.
That evening, Lu Jingheng still looked worried when he saw her.
He felt that the attack had subsided and didn't seem likely to recur, so he didn't want her to worry too much.
To allow her to rest properly, Lu Jingheng suggested that she sleep in the room next door.
Furthermore, he was also somewhat worried that he might have another episode and accidentally hurt her.
However, Xu Rubao was worried and insisted on staying here with him.
Lu Jingheng had no choice; it was good that she wasn't afraid of him.
He planned to propose to her after the surgery.
The next day, he slept soundly through the night. Xu Rubao, who had been watching over him, unknowingly fell asleep next to him as well.
Lu Jingheng did not react, and the two decided to go back.
Back at the Lu family home, Mrs. Lu looked worried; they had been waiting for her to come for dinner that night.
She never came, and we couldn't get in touch with her. Later, I heard from Uncle Fu that she went to Qiwu Mountain to be with her son.
Now, Madam Lu was worried that her daughter might dislike her son.
Seeing that they had returned together and showed no signs of breaking up, Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
At lunchtime, Madam Lu kept piling food onto Ru Bao's plate.
Xu Rubao felt that every time she came to the Lu family, she was treated like a pig, always eating until she was stuffed.
Fortunately, the Lu family always treated her well and never looked down on her because she came from a humble background.
After lunch, Lu Jingheng went upstairs to rest, while Xu Rubao accompanied Madam Lu to drink tea in the garden.
Mrs. Lu said that Song Qinfang would be coming over in a few days.
Xu Rubao was quite happy to hear that Aunt Fang was coming. Aunt Fang had always been very kind to her, as if she were her daughter.
As Madam Lu spoke, she brought up the matter of Lu Jingheng.
Fearing that her son wouldn't listen to her, she told Ru Bao about his desire for surgery, hoping she could persuade him.
Upon hearing this, Xu Rubao, who was a medical student, realized that the success rate of craniotomy was less than 50%, which raised serious questions about the risks involved.
He might not even make it off the operating table, or he might suffer some kind of aftereffects after the surgery, such as becoming a vegetable.
She was worried just thinking about it. "Auntie, don't worry, I... I know about this, and I definitely won't let him take this risk."
Madam Lu nodded and sighed, "It's all my fault for being so useless. He had this problem from birth. If I had been more careful back then, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way. Ah Bao, thank goodness for you. Auntie is truly grateful to you."
Xu Rubao gently patted her hand, knowing that she felt guilty and thought it was her fault.
Even if you didn't know she was Lu Jingheng's mother, it would still be heartbreaking to see her like that.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to cure him and I won't let him take any risks. He will get better."
Xu Rubao didn't know where her confidence came from; she studied medicine because she wanted to save people.
Madam Lu smiled. Although so many famous doctors have seen her, none of them are completely confident yet.
But seeing the determination in her eyes, Mo Ming believed her.
