Su Qi clenched his fists tightly. Although Su's mother was his stepmother, she treated him and Xiao Xiao as her own children and genuinely cared for them. In return, he treated her with the same filial piety as his own mother.
"Your son assures you, Father, that if Mother's health improves, everything can still be salvaged. If Mother... your son will definitely repay you with interest!"
Su's father knew his son well; he was the type who either didn't say anything, or if he did, he would definitely do it.
"I'll go see your mother," Su's father said, getting up to stand up.
But these past few days, I've been very weak due to the huge blow to my body and mind.
Suddenly everything went black, and I almost fell over.
Su Qi quickly stepped forward to support his father, saying, "You're already very tired, go back to your room and rest for a while."
"Yes, I have to keep these old bones to seek justice for your mother and your sister!" With Su Qi's help, Su's father shakily entered the bedroom.
Mu Run left the courtyard, her brows slightly furrowed. It seemed that Su's father and Su Qi were unaware of Su Xiao's background.
There was no need to stay any longer. Back in Su's mother's courtyard, Gu Dong had already finished his surgery and was waiting for her.
There was a large pile of medicine on the table; it was for Su's mother.
Su's mother is receiving an IV drip.
These things must not be shown to the Su family.
"How long will it take to recover?"
"You can get out of bed within 24 hours. The sanitation conditions here are very poor; it's best to find another place."
"I can't change it, could you help me clean it up?" Mu Run looked at the medicine; it seemed she would have to stay here for a few more days.
Gudu has started housekeeping work again.
Mu Run sat at the table, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface, his eyes filled with contemplation.
As dawn broke, Su's father and Su Qi arrived together.
Mu Run was sleeping on the table, and the room looked no different from before. But upon closer inspection, one could see that the dust on the windows was gone, the wormholes in the corners of the walls were gone, and there was a faint smell of disinfectant.
As for Su's mother lying in bed, her complexion had improved considerably, and she no longer looked like a dead person.
"Dad, brother, you're here." Mu Run yawned sleepily.
This body has had its spiritual roots extracted, and it's impossible to restore them. Although it appears to be the same as a normal person on the surface, it's actually like a porcelain doll, hollow inside and extremely fragile.
If she wants to become stronger, she either needs to find her spiritual root again, or... change her body!
"I talked to Mother all night, and she seems to be getting better. You should take a look." Mu Run led Su's father and Su Qi to the bedside.
Su's mother was still unconscious because she had just undergone surgery. However, her lips and complexion had returned to normal, and her eye sockets were no longer so sunken.
Su's father rubbed his eyes, fearing he was seeing things.
Su Qi hurriedly took his mother's pulse... and then exclaimed with joy, "Father, Mother is indeed getting better!"
"Brother, do you know medicine?" Mu Run asked, seeing him taking a pulse.
"You forgot? I have a friend who is the son of the Imperial Physician. I learned a little bit from him. It's okay for emergencies, but it's not enough for real medical treatment." Su Qi confirmed again before letting go of his mother's wrist.
Upon hearing his son's words, Su's father's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Mu Run caught him quickly and helped him sit on a stool.
"Is it really getting better?" Su's father asked, his voice trembling.
Su said, "It's definitely getting better. Look at Mother's face."
Even the imperial physician said there was no hope, it was only a matter of time. Unexpectedly, a turning point occurred!
"No...no way?" Su's father was still worried.
