Lin’s mother’s worries were not unfounded. Not long after, Dr Lin really did throw up. First, he said he was thirsty and wanted water.
He Yuehua poured him a glass of water and helped him sit up to drink half of it. Suddenly, he felt nauseous and vomited all over the floor.
Fortunately, He Yuehua reacted quickly. She avoided getting any on herself or on the bed. Everything landed on the floor.
When Lin’s mother saw her son vomit everywhere, she instinctively covered her mouth and nose and hurried out of the room. She could not stand seeing other people vomit.
Just as she stepped out the door, Lin’s mother also vomited. Covering her mouth, she rushed to the bathroom and threw up violently until she felt faint.
He Yuehua: …
She had been counting on Lin’s mother to help clean up and mop the floor, but unexpectedly Lin’s mother vomited even worse than Dr Lin.
In the end, it was He Yuehua who cleaned everything. She mopped the floor spotless.
After vomiting, Dr Lin collapsed back onto the bed and fell asleep again.
Only after finishing the cleanup did He Yuehua go to check on Lin’s mother.
Lin’s mother had stopped vomiting. She came out of the bathroom and sat on the living room sofa, looking half-dead. Even her bile had come up.
“Auntie, are you alright?”
He Yuehua walked over and asked with concern.
“I nearly vomited myself to death. I cannot stand that sight. The moment I see it, I start vomiting too. It was worse than my morning sickness when I was pregnant.”
“How is A-Jian?”
Even after vomiting so badly, Lin’s mother still remembered to ask about her son.
“Dr Lin has fallen asleep again. Fortunately, nothing got on the bed. I have cleaned the floor completely.”
Lin’s mother grabbed He Yuehua’s hand and thanked her profusely again.
He Yuehua could only lie down to rest a little after three o’clock in the morning.
Lin’s mother went into her son’s room to check. After confirming he would not vomit again, she returned to her own room to rest.
Lin’s father woke up groggily and asked her: “Did you drink a lot of water before bed? You keep getting up at night.”
Lin’s mother slapped him. “You pig. You sleep heavier than a pig. Our son had not come back yet. I was so worried I could not sleep, but you just fell asleep the moment you touched the bed.”
“A-Jian still has not come back?”
After He Yuehua went to the bar to pick up their son, Lin’s father had stopped worrying and gone straight to sleep. He really did not know when his son had returned.
“He came back. He was completely drunk and could barely walk. Yuehua had to support him all the way. It is all thanks to Yuehua.”
Lin’s mother continued: “A-Jian vomited all over the floor just now. I could not help. I ended up vomiting myself. It was Yuehua who took care of him and cleaned everything.”
“When our son wakes up, Old Lin, tell him clearly: we recognise Yuehua as our daughter-in-law. Tell him to stop thinking about that Dr Zeng. She can climb into a wealthy family now, so naturally she looks down on our little doctor.”
“Yuehua truly has our son in her heart and eyes. If she did not love A-Jian, she would not have taken care of him like this.”
“In any case, I have decided on Yuehua.”
Lin’s father said: “I have already advised A-Jian long ago. He knows what choice to make.”
His son’s love rival had too powerful a background and dealt him a heavy blow. Lin’s father knew his son had given up on Dr Zeng. These past two days, his son’s attitude toward Yuehua had become much gentler.
