The next day, Baiyun City was filled with a refreshing fragrance after the rain. The air was moist, and people felt refreshed early in the morning.
When Jian Ai got up, breakfast had already been laid out on the dining table. Although their family’s breakfast stall was closed, her mother would still wake up early every morning to prepare breakfast for her.
After washing up, Jian Ai sat at the dining table. Wang Yunmei came out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge. Jian Ai looked up and saw that her mother’s expression was not good.
“Mom, are you not feeling well? Why do you look so bad?” Jian Ai asked with concern.
Although her mother had it tough in the past, she had always been glowing. Her skin was clean and bright, and her eyes were lively. However, at this moment, Wang Yunmei’s eyes were slightly sunken. It was difficult to ignore the dark circles under her eyes. She wasn’t in high spirits, and her eyes were unfocused and a little dazed.
When she heard Jian Ai’s words, she was still slow for a moment before replying, “Mom is fine. I didn’t sleep well from the thunder last night.”
Jian Ai frowned. Her mother had died of cancer in her previous life, so Jian Ai was even more worried now. Whenever her mother had any abnormality in her mental state, she would instinctively feel nervous and worried.
Moreover, the trajectory of this lifetime was completely different from her previous life. Jian Ai did not know if her mother would still suffer from liver cancer. She was only afraid that her mother’s illness would be brought forward. That was something she could not accept no matter what.
With this thought in mind, Jian Ai said to Wang Yunmei, “Mom, I’m not feeling too well recently as well. Follow me to the hospital for a physical examination.”
Jian Ai chose another way to bring her mother to the hospital. Only then would her mother not consider anything else.
As expected, when Wang Yunmei heard that her daughter was unwell, she quickly sat down beside Jian Ai. “What’s wrong, Xiao Ai? Are there lingering effects after falling into the water?”
“Maybe. I just have a headache often. I feel more at ease going to the hospital to take a look,” Jian Ai casually lied.
“Then after lunch, Mom will accompany you to the hospital for a checkup. Let’s take a break from school in the morning.” Wang Yunmei was the most worried about Jian Ai’s health. Especially after she fell into the water last time, Wang Yunmei was nervous for a few days, afraid that Jian Ai would suffer from lingering effects.
Looking at her mother’s nervous expression, Jian Ai felt guilty. But she had no choice. She couldn’t think of any other reason why her mother would go to the hospital on her own accord. She wouldn’t feel at ease until she knew her mother’s health condition.
Baiyun City’s Fourth Hospital was located in the center of Zhonglou District. It was the largest hospital closest to Jian Ai’s home. Jian Ai had been hospitalized in this hospital the last time.
At the registration office, Jian Ai said to Wang Yunmei, “Mom, since you’re here, you should do a physical examination as well.”
Wang Yunmei was stunned for a moment before she smiled and waved her hand. “There’s no need. Mom’s health is fine. Besides, the company is recently arranging for employees to undergo physical examinations. Mom will be doing so later.”
It wasn’t easy for Jian Ai to pull Wang Yunmei to the hospital, so she naturally couldn’t give up easily. She immediately said, “Mom, I’ve always been worried about your health. You’ve been working too hard these years, and you often stay up late to drink. I’ve long been afraid that your body will be overloaded. Listen to me and do the checkup with me. If there are no issues, I’ll feel at ease.”
Jian Ai was like a daughter who was worried about her mother’s health. Everything she said was what she was thinking. Jian Ai could only feel relieved when she saw the results.
