Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Let the Kid Take Care of It
“Who is it?” Mengmeng’s parents couldn’t help but look at Gu’s mother with suspicion in unison.
Luo Mengmeng also tilted her little head and looked towards her.
She wondered, where was there a caregiver here?
Only Gu Zhihan suddenly felt a chill creeping up from the soles of his feet, and instantly, he had an ominous feeling.
He hoped… it wasn’t… what he was thinking!
“Isn’t that ready-made!” Gu’s mother reached out and patted Gu Zhihan on the shoulder, laughing heartily as if she had no clue this was her own son, “Let this kid take care of her!”
There was a sudden silence in the hospital room.
This time, it was Mengmeng’s turn to look at Gu Zhihan sympathetically, Are you really his biological parent???
“Is this really okay?” Mengmeng’s parents were dumbfounded, clearly not expecting such a suggestion from Gu’s mother.
Gu’s mother nodded vigorously, “I think this is great!”
It would also allow the young couple to grow closer, and who knows, she might become a grandmother by the time she was eighteen.
“What’s so great about it.” She might think it’s great, but Gu Zhihan didn’t feel the same way. He frowned, “How can I take care of her, I don’t know how to take care of anyone!”
“Then it’s the perfect time to learn now!” Gu’s mother patted his shoulder again, with a look that it was for his own good, “Another skill won’t do you any harm.”
Gu Zhihan sweated, “So I don’t need to go to school anymore?”
“What school? Didn’t you self-study all of the first year’s curriculum during the summer break? Now it’s just a mere fifth grade, why worry about it at all!” Gu’s mother didn’t take it seriously and added, “Oh right, actually, I’ve already asked for leave from your teacher!”
“Asked for leave already?”
Gu Zhihan felt that he was starting to not understand what she was saying.
Could it be that his mother had wanted him to stay in the hospital with Luo Mengmeng all along?
“Yes, this morning I asked for leave for both you and Mengmeng from your teacher. Otherwise, Mengmeng would be bored by herself in the hospital, right!” After saying this, Gu’s mother winked at Mengmeng as if taking credit for the deed.
Mengmeng quietly gave her a thumbs-up.
That’s wonderful, her husband could accompany her every day during her hospital stay.
“You’re really considerate!” Gu Zhihan said darkly, grinding his teeth, enunciating each word as he spoke to his mother.
She’d made the decision without his consent!
“Son, I didn’t expect you’d think so too!” Gu’s mother’s face beamed with relief; she had thought he would be angry, but he was actually praising her.
Did you really not catch that I was being sarcastic!?
Anyway, Gu Zhihan’s refusal was ineffective, and he was forced to become Mengmeng’s “personal attendant.”
Companion for play, conversation, and care.
On his first day as a caregiver, Gu Zhihan started with a scowl on his face.
Seeing his expression, Mengmeng couldn’t help but remind him, “Hubby, that’s not how a caregiver acts, you have to smile so that the patient’s mood can be good, which is more conducive to recovery.”
Gu Zhihan forced a smile at her.
Because it was forced, the smile looked quite eerie and frightening.
Mengmeng couldn’t help but shiver slightly, saying weakly, “Maybe, you shouldn’t smile.”
Otherwise, her body might never heal in this lifetime.
“Such a hassle.” Gu Zhihan threw her an impatient look.
“What kind of caregiver has such a bad temper…”
Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but murmur under her breath.
