The soup she brought was boiled with water, making it much less flavorful. Lu Qinghua tasted it and found the flavor completely different, so she added some concentrated soup stock, making it even more delicious than the soup she made herself.
"Time to drink the soup."
Lu Qinghua said gruffly, her face not looking too good. She had heard everything outside the door. "Hmph, she's still unrepentant even in death, and she even blames Ye Qingqing for not treating her."
Having done so many despicable things in the past, even if she were Ye Qingqing, she wouldn't have taken action. Besides, they were both terminally ill; how could they possibly be cured?
Her brother, like their parents, only ever thought about himself and believed that everyone owed him something. She used to be like that too, but now she knows she was wrong. However, Lu Qingquan is still stubbornly clinging to his ways.
Lu Qingquan had no appetite, his body ached constantly, and he would vomit even after drinking water, but in order to survive, he would force himself to eat something.
The chicken soup was also quite good; he hadn't had it in a long time.
The old man and Lu Jianfeng sat for a while and then left. Lu Qinghua immediately frowned and said, "Hurry up and drink the soup. Don't waste my time."
Lu Qingquan stared at her menacingly, his voice barely audible, like a venomous snake's tongue, making it extremely unpleasant to listen to. "Found a backer, huh? You don't take me seriously anymore?"
"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Are you going to drink the soup or not? If not, I'm taking it back." Lu Qinghua glared at him.
Lu Qingquan felt a tightness in his chest. He was like a tiger fallen to the plains, bullied by dogs. That bitch Ye Qingqing knew how to win people's hearts and had his stupid sister completely under her thumb.
Too tired to argue with Lu Qinghua, Lu Qingquan wanted some soup, but the thermos was tightly sealed. Not wanting anyone to know he still had energy, he said, "Pour me some soup!"
"Don't you have hands?"
Lu Qinghua glared, turned around and left. There was a strange smell in the ward, and she couldn't stand it, so she went to the corridor for some fresh air.
Lu Qingquan gritted his teeth, his eyes growing even colder. He had no choice but to unscrew the lid himself, panting heavily. With trembling hands, he poured the soup and quickly took a sip. The hot soup warmed him up, but soon he felt nauseous.
He forced himself not to vomit and took another sip. After drinking half a bowl of soup, Lu Qingquan was panting heavily, but his body still felt warmer. However, the soup tasted strangely fresh. Chicken soup didn't taste like this, did it?
Lu Qingquan didn't think much of it. After he got sick, his taste buds had problems, and many of his tastes had changed. The soup should be fine; the problem was with his mouth.
Lu Qinghua wandered outside for a while before returning. She hadn't drunk much of the soup, but the lid was open, and the steam had dissipated. Lu Qingquan was lying on the bed, motionless. Lu Qinghua was too lazy to ask, and poured out the rest of the soup.
"Is Ye Qingqing not at work right now?" Lu Qingquan suddenly asked.
Lu Qinghua immediately became alert, "Why do you care whether someone goes to work or not? You're about to die, why are you meddling in other people's business?"
Lu Qingquan coughed a few times in anger, his eyes growing even colder. No one knew what he was thinking. Lu Qinghua tidied up the thermos, tightened the lid, then remembered she hadn't rinsed it, so she unscrewed it again, which took her some effort.
Lu Qinghua went to the bathroom to wash her cup. Halfway through, she suddenly stopped, staring intently at the thermos in her hand. She screwed the lid on again, tightening it even more. When she tried to unscrew it, it took even more effort and wasn't so easy to open.
Before coming, she was afraid the chicken soup would spill, so she tightened the lid very much. Just like now, how could Lu Qingquan open it?
Wasn't he so sick that he didn't even have the strength to hold a cup?
