Inside Bai Renxiang's room.
"Mummy, don't worry. As far as grandma goes to the hospital to check her health, she will be fine. So don't be sad anymore. Xiaojin does not like sad mummy," Bai Xiaojin tried to lighten Bai Renxiang's mood.
Bai Renxiang managed to show a small smile and sighed.
"Alright, my love. Mummy will not be sad anymore," she assured him.
"That is good. Quick. Take your bath and cone to the dining room. I am still hungry. Uncle Shin and Uncle Shane have already eaten. Even grandma. So hurry up," Bai Xiaojin said and dragged Bai Renxiang to the bathroom before leaving her there.
After taking a quick shower, Bai Renxiang wore single strap nightwear that stopped above her knee. It was light and comfy so Bai Renxiang went with it. She rushed out to the dining room as her son said he would be waiting for her to feed him.
"Did mummy take long?" She asked as she dat lose to him.
"Not at all. Mummy is always fast in taking her bath and dressing up," Bai Xiaojin shook our heads and answered.
"Alright. What do we have here?... Oh! Rice, fish and vegetables. Hmm. A simple nutritious meal," she said as she started placing food on Bai Xiaojin's plate.
"How is it?"
"Grandma's cooking can win those cooking shows I see on TV. Very delicious," he said and raised his thumb.
"Thank you, honey. Here. Have a cup of tea. It will warm you up as you did not care to dry your hair," Jiang Meilin passed a mug of tea to Bai Renxiang.
"Thank you, mum," Bai Renxiang said and took a sip.
"Be careful. It is still hot."
"I know mum. By the way, the tea tastes good."
"I learnt it from your aunt Yi," Jiang Meilin said and took a seat opposite the mother and son pair.
Bai Renxiang nodded and head and continued feeding Bai Xiaojin while taking the tea at intervals.
They discussed other things. Bai Renxiang told her mother about the business and how it was thriving. While Jiang Meilin told Bai Renxiang about the store and how customers keep flocking in almost every minute.
Bai Renxiang mentally took note of all the things her mother was saying. She decided to help her mother out and reduce her stress greatly.
After the dinner, they said their goodnight wishes before returning to their rooms to sleep. Bai Renxiang made sure that Bai Xiaojin had a warm nice bath before going to bed. Bai Xiaojin as usual cuddled closely to his mother and drifted into his dreamland.
The next day, as decided, Bai Renxiang did not allow Jiang Meilin to go to the grocery store. She explained things to Shin and Shane and they readily supported her decision. They also promised to take good care of the store in Jiang Meilin's absence.
After dropping Bai Xiaojin off at school, she told the driver to drive them to the hospital. On getting inside the hospital, they took an appointment and waited patiently for their turn to see the doctor.
They sat beside a woman in the same age group as Jiang Meilin. While they waited, the woman and Jiang Meilin engaged in small talk. The woman did not fail to shower Bai Renxiang with praises for being able to have time to accompany her mother to see a doctor.
"Your daughter is very pretty and is also very filial," the woman said.
"Yes, she is. I am very lucky to receive her as a wonderful gift from God," Jiang Meilin's head swelled with pride.
"Hahaha. Indeed you are very lucky. Daughters are a warm jacket to their mothers. I wished my son could be this filial."
"Oh. Does your son work?" Jiang Meilin asked with curiosity.
"Hmm," the woman nodded.
"Then, do not blame. He must be very busy and that is why he did not accompany you to the hospital," Jiang Meilin defended the son.
"Nonsense. I bet your daughter is very busy too and yet she still makes time to take you to the hospital," the woman said as she noticed that Bai Renxiang was dressed formally.
"Female children are way better than those male children." Jiang Meilin just laughed things off and they continued talking.
Soon enough, it was time for them to meet the doctor. Bai Renxiang held her mother gently and guided her into the doctor's office after knocking.
"Gasp. Doctor Ye?!" Bai Renxiang gasped in surprise. Ye Chaoxiang lifted his head from the previous patient's report he was looking as he heard a familiar voice.
"Ms Bai. Wow! It is good to see you again," he smiled pleasantly at the two women.
"It is good to see you too," Bai Renxiang said.
"Oh. Bad manners. Please have a seat and good morning ma'am," he stood up and bowed respectfully as he greeted Jiang Meilin who could not help but feel confused at her daughter's familiarity with the young doctor.
"Good morning doctor," Jiang Meilin greeted back and took a seat with the help of Bai Renxiang.
"Mum, this is the kind doctor that handles your case back in City X. I told you about it, remember?" Bai Renxiang said.
"Ah! Yes, I remember. Thank you for enabling me to spend more time with my child, doctor," Jiang Meilin said with a smile.
"I only did my job, ma'am. I just hope nothing serious is wrong with my patient," he looked at Bai Renxiang as he said the last part.
"That is why we came here. I just wanted to be sure she is okay. She seems to be having headaches recently. So I wanted to meet a doctor to know if her health is being compromised," Bai Renxiang said.
"Thank God you met with the same doctor that treated her in the first place. You are indeed very lucky."
