Chu Qiao and Bo Zhengting hurried to the ward, their hearts filled with worry for their mother. When they arrived at her ward, they saw Liu Xiaoli lying on the bed, pale and very weak.

A strong sense of guilt and anxiety surged in Chu Qiao's heart. She held her mother's hand tightly and felt the coldness in her hand.

Liu Xiaoli slowly opened her eyes and saw Chu Qiao and Bo Zhengting. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry and fear.

Her voice was weak and trembling: "Qiao Qiao, your father... is he..."

Chu Qiao immediately interrupted her mother. Her voice, though soft, was filled with determination and strength. "Don't worry, Mom. Dad's fine. He's really alive. He's in the ward next door right now. The doctor says he's recovering well."

Liu Xiaoli's eyes lit up instantly, and her face showed incredible joy. "Really? You're not trying to comfort me, are you?" Her voice was full of hope, but still with a hint of uncertainty.

Bo Zhengting also stepped forward, held Liu Xiaoli's other hand, and said in his calm voice: "Auntie, what Chu Qiao said is true. Uncle's condition has stabilized. He needs to rest now. You can go see him when he recovers a little."

Liu Xiaoli's tears welled up in her eyes. She excitedly grabbed Chu Qiao and Bo Zhengting's hands, her voice choked with sobs: "Thank you, thank you... I knew that my Qiao Qiao would not let me down."

Chu Qiao gently wiped away the tears from her mother's eyes. Her voice was gentle and comforting, "Mom, please don't cry. It's not good for your health. The most important thing for you now is to rest well and regain your strength. I'll be with Dad, don't worry."

Liu Xiaoli nodded, a relaxed smile finally appearing on her face. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, as if to expel all her worries and fears with this breath.

Chu Qiao and Bo Zhengting tiptoed to their mother's bedside, their gazes fixed on her as she slept. The room was so quiet that only her mother's faint breathing could be heard. Time seemed to have stood still.

They knew full well that the good news they had just shared with their mother was like a ray of warm sunshine piercing through the haze, bringing immense comfort and strength to their frail mother in her hospital bed. It was joyous news about family and love, and it became a powerful driving force behind their mother's gradual recovery.

The two of them looked at each other as if they had telepathy, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, revealing a relieved smile.

At that moment, their eyes were filled with beautiful visions of future life and deep love for each other and their families.

Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence. It turned out to be Chu Hanhan rushing to the door of the ward.

After receiving the news, she was extremely anxious and rushed over non-stop. Chu Qiao quickly stood up and went forward to greet her, telling her in detail about her mother and father's current situation. After listening to Chu Qiao's story, Chu Hanhan's heart finally settled down a little.

"Hanhan, you'd better go back to school and focus on your studies. I'm here and everything will be taken care of." Chu Qiao persuaded softly in a gentle and patient tone.

But Chu Hanhan bit her lips tightly, shook her head with a firm and stubborn look, and said firmly that she would never leave and would stay here and take care of my parents with me no matter what.

Seeing Chu Hanhan's stubbornness, Chu Qiao sighed deeply, but ultimately she couldn't change Chu Hanhan's determination. Helplessly, she could only nod slightly and agree to let Chu Hanhan stay and help.

Not long after, after a period of rest and recuperation, my mother finally regained some energy and looked much better.

At this time, Chu Qiao carefully observed her mother and after making sure that she was not seriously injured, she helped her mother up and said to her softly, "Mom, how do you feel now? If you feel okay, why don't you go and see how Dad is doing?" The mother smiled and nodded, then with the support of Chu Qiao, she slowly walked towards the room where her father was.

Walking into the room, my father was soundly asleep. My mother was sitting gently beside the bed, gazing at my father's face, her eyes filled with tenderness. Chu Qiao stood quietly by, watching this heartwarming scene.

After a long while, my mother slowly turned her head, and a trace of relief and determination appeared on her slightly haggard face.

His eyes fell gently on Chu Qiao and Chu Hanhan, and he said softly, "Don't worry too much, kids. Your dad will be fine. You two have worked so hard."

Hearing their mother's words, Chu Qiao and Chu Hanhan shook their heads repeatedly and said in unison, "Mom, please don't say that. Taking care of Dad is our responsibility!"

Chu Qiao looked at her watch, realizing how time had slipped by. She turned to look at Bo Zhengting, who had been by her side the entire time, and a wave of emotion welled up in her heart.

She knew that Bo Zhengting, as a very busy man, could spare so much time for her. He probably had many important matters to attend to right now, and he really shouldn't be delayed because of her.

Although deep down she longed to continue to be with him and took the opportunity to pursue him, Chu Qiao understood that everything had to do with timing and occasion.

Just at this moment, Chu Hanhan, who was standing aside, was overjoyed to see Bo Zhengting again.

Her bright eyes were always fixed on Bo Zhengting, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, unable to conceal her inner joy.

After a moment's thought, Chu Qiao mustered up the courage to gently pull Bo Zhengting out of the ward.

The two of them stood facing each other at the end of the corridor. Chu Qiao looked up at the man in front of her who made her heart beat fast, and said softly, "It's really getting late, you should go back early. And... I really appreciate you being with me through this difficult time today." After she finished speaking, her fair cheeks unconsciously flushed.

Seeing this, Bo Zhengting realized that it was no longer appropriate to stay here. After all, he had a lot of urgent matters to deal with. After a moment's thought, he nodded and agreed.

Chu Qiao hurried to her mother's side and said softly, "Mom, I'll go see Zhengting off." Her mother agreed with a smile and once again expressed her sincere gratitude to Bo Zhengting.

The two walked into the elevator side by side, and the atmosphere in the small space was a little tense. Chu Qiao was the first to break the silence, saying with gratitude, "Zheng Ting, thank you so much for today. I will definitely treat you to a nice meal someday when you are free."

Upon hearing this, Bo Zhengting smiled gently and responded, "We are friends, there is no need to be so formal. But we can have dinner together." Just as he finished speaking, there was a "ding" sound, and the elevator door slowly opened.

Chu Qiao stood there, watching Bo Zhengting walk steadily towards his black car. Only when the car drove away and disappeared from her sight did she turn around and walk upstairs.

However, at this moment, Chu Hanhan stood quietly beside a window upstairs, her eyes always following everything that happened downstairs.

In fact, she knew very well that her sister Chu Qiao had special feelings for Bo Zhengting. Despite this, she still couldn't suppress the urge in her heart to take a few more glances.
