When Huo Mian and Qin Chu arrived, Yang Meirong hadn’t woken up yet.

They saw Zhixin and Bella.

“Sis, Brother-in-law.”

“How is Mom? What happened?”

“She fainted and some passersby delivered her here… The doctor said she got some stimulation which triggered a heart attack.”

“How did that happen?”

Huo Mian frowned slightly. With her and Zhixin well settled in life, nothing could agitate her mother so much that it would trigger a heart attack.

“Yeah, I’m puzzled too. But there are many witnesses. Our mom fainted herself; no one bumped into her,” Zhixin explained.

“Where is the doctor? Who took the case?”

“She’s over there.”

Zhixin pointed at the office of the emergency room.

Huo Mian hurried over; afraid she’d slip, Qin Chu followed her closely.

“Dr. Zhao.” Entering the office, Huo Mian saw the doctor was a colleague she was familiar with.

“Vice Director Huo.” The doctor stood up respectfully.

“Dr. Zhao, what’s wrong with my mom?”

“She’s your mom?” The female doctor pushed up her glasses, looking surprised.

Huo Mian nodded.

“Vice Director Huo, your mother has had some old problems in her heart. Today the attack was triggered by some external stimulation… She got agitated by something, but her condition isn’t life-threatening. We did a thorough examination on her and gave her an injection to ease the symptoms. She’ll wake up soon.”

“External stimulation…” Huo Mian bit on her lip with a bad feeling in her.

“At her age, your mom might get angry from arguing with someone while buying groceries in the market, etc. Anyway, we’ll know about it when she wakes up.”

“Thank you, Dr. Zhao.” Huo Mian walked out of the office.

Qin Chu didn’t speak; he went to the vending machine and bought a few bottles of water.

Handing two bottles to Zhixin and Bella, he kept one for Huo Mian.

“Honey, have some water.” Qin Chu uncapped the bottle and handed it to her.

Huo Mian took the bottle and took a few sips; then she walked into the ward and sat beside her mother.

When one reached middle age, the problems relating to this period of life would come gradually.

Huo Mian had parents and kids; when they got sick and were admitted into the hospital, it was the most exhausting time.

Fortunately, she had Qin Chu to support the family for her no matter what happened.

“Sis, Brother-in-law said you didn’t eat supper. What do you want to eat? I’ll go and buy some for you.”

Zhixin came behind Huo Mian.

“I’m not hungry. I don’t want to eat.”

“Sister Mian, you don’t want to eat but the baby needs to eat. I’ll go and buy some hot food.”

That said, Bella put on her coat and walked out.

Five minutes after Bella was gone, Yang Meirong woke up.

“Mom…”

Huo Mian leaned over and grabbed her mother’s hand.

“Mian, why are you here?”

“Mom, you fainted and was delivered to the hospital.”

“Oh… I fainted…”

Yang Meirong tried to remember through the fog in her mind. She had gone to the store to buy something on discount, then…

“Mom, you scared my sister and me. My sister and brother-in-law came here without even having supper. I’ll move back. I can’t let you live all by yourself.”

Like a nagging wife, Zhixin complained as he stood behind Huo Mian.

“Mom, what on earth happened? What startled you so much that you had a heart attack?” Huo Mian got to the point.
