"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.

"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 al," 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 ilin 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 ilin 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 ilin told Bai Renxiang about the store and how custors keep flocking in almost every minute.
Bai Renxiang ntally 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 ilin 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 ilin's absence.

"Yes, she is. I am very lucky to receive her as a wonderful gift from God," Jiang ilin'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 ilin asked with curiosity.
"Hmm," the woman nodded.
"Then, do not bla. He must be very busy and that is why he did not accompany you to the hospital," Jiang ilin defended the son.
"Nonsense. I bet your daughter is very busy too and yet she still makes ti 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 ilin just laughed things off and they continued talking.

"Ms Bai. Wow! It is good to see you again," he smiled pleasantly at the two won.
"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 ilin who could not help but feel confused at her daughter's familiarity with the young doctor.
"Good morning doctor," Jiang ilin greeted back and took a seat with the help of Bai Renxiang.

"Ah! Yes, I rember. Thank you for enabling to spend more ti with my child, doctor," Jiang ilin said with a smile.
