The doctor came out of the ward, and Chu Qing and her group hurried forward, "Doctor, how’s my daughter doing? Is she alright?"
The doctor took off his mask, "We’ve just examined her, and her body doesn’t have any major issues. It’s likely due to overworking. The patient should rest well and avoid excessive fatigue."
All her vital signs were normal, yet she had fainted, which could only be explained by exhaustion.
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
After entering, Xiaofeng was sleeping in bed like a baby and hadn’t woken up yet. Chu Qing approached and held her hand, tears involuntarily flowing down because she was afraid, afraid something might happen to her daughter.
"The child is fine; why are you crying?" Quan Sifang saw his wife’s tears falling and could imagine she was thinking about Xiaofeng’s hardships as a child: "Alright, the doctor said it’s nothing, with you crying , what will Xiaofeng think if she sees you?"
"Mom, my sister will be fine, you don’t need to worry." Xiaonian looked at her sleeping sister with eyes full of pity.
"Uncle, Auntie, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. It’s the grand opening of my little store today, and Xiaofeng, Xiaonian, and Shuiling came to help. There were indeed a lot of customers today; I’m sorry." Lan Shuixian felt very remorseful looking at Xiaofeng lying on the bed.
Whether Xiaofeng fainted from overworking herself helping her, or because she transmitted some illness to Xiaofeng, it was all her fault.
"Xiaofeng herself probably doesn’t even know her own condition. You are friends, and it’s natural for her to help out." Xiaofeng went to help Lan Shuixian as a favor between friends.
When Old Master Gu learned about Xiaofeng’s fainting, he quickly brought his medicine box to the hospital, and after taking her pulse, he found out that Xiaofeng’s body was indeed in no major trouble, aside from some fatigue.
"The doctor’s diagnosis is correct; she has just been overworking herself lately."
"This child just pushes herself too hard, as if there’s endless work to do." Hearing Old Master Gu’s words, Chu Qing felt even more distressed for Xiaofeng.
She is the young madam of the Gu Family, her daughter, and even if she did nothing but shop all day, who would dare say anything to her?
Half an hour later, Xiaofeng woke up.
Seeing her family gathered around her, she was a bit confused, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, what are you doing here?"
She remembered that she was about to go home, but then everything went black, and she could see nothing.
"You silly child, why do you have to work so hard? How many hours did you sleep last night that you fainted from exhaustion?" Chu Qing held Xiaofeng’s hand, her heart aching terribly.
She owed her daughter too much.
"Exactly, Xiaofeng. Don’t push yourself so hard. You don’t have nothing behind you; we are here for you. Seeing you hurts your mother and me." Quan Sifang, usually not a man to show emotions, also felt upset seeing Xiaofeng faint from exhaustion.
Xiaofeng was too independent; even after marrying into the Gu Family and returning to the Quan Family, she was still herself, unchanged.
"Dad, Mom, I’m fine, my body is fine too. Maybe I just haven’t slept well these past few days, and my blood sugar didn’t keep up, which is why I fainted. I know my body; it’s strong, nothing can happen, rest assured there will be no issue."
"For the sake of your health, it’ll be best if you rest at home for a couple of days." Old Master Gu also didn’t want to see her push herself: "You haven’t spent much time with Erbao recently, spend these couple of days at home with them."
"Okay." If her time in this world wasn’t much, she indeed wanted to spend quality time with them.
What she couldn’t bear to part with was them, her children calling her ’mommy’, her attachment, even if she left this era.
Since it was very late, Chu Qing and the others simply decided to let Xiaofeng spend the night in the hospital before returning home.
Xiaofeng was unwilling: "Mom, you heard, I’m fine. Besides, if I stay at the hospital, someone will have to stay with me, and I can’t sleep here. Let’s go home."
"Let her go home to sleep. Indeed, she can’t rest well in the hospital; a good night’s sleep at home will do."
Ye Cheng returned home and didn’t see Xiaofeng; when he heard she had fainted, he was nearly scared out of his wits. When he arrived at the hospital, Xiaofeng was just getting into her grandfather’s car to go home.
Just as Xiaofeng arrived home, Ye Cheng also reached home.
No sooner had Xiaofeng stepped inside the house than Ye Cheng trapped her by the door, his hands seizing hers to take her pulse.
The pulse was only a little tired, with no other issues.
