The next day.
"Miss, where is the room of the girl who came here yesterday evening?" Hansu asked breathlessly.
"Are you his brother?" the receptionist look at him. "She's in room A2 on the fourth floor. You must sign in first."
Hansu dashed to the stairs.
"Hey, boy! You have to write your name first!"
"Don't stop him, he is sister Su's son," said Nurse Shen.
"Ohh, what a handsome young man, Nurse Su is really fortunate to have good genes and birthed beautiful children, look at her youngest daughter, she will definitely be a beauty when she grows up," sighed the receptionist.
"Stop gossiping about other people's children you should just do your job, or your bonus will be deducted the next time," Nurse Shen said.
"Why are you being so serious, I'm just bored to death," the lady grumbled.
"Get back to work" Nurse Shen reprimanded.
inside the room Su mian is looking at the IV drop. And the door opened open.
"How is she, Mom?" Hansu inquired, his voice heavy.
Mother Su turned around with no expression on her face.
"I'm sorry Mom, I didn't check to see if Nana was in the-"
Mother Su slapped Hansu.
"Don't make any excuses!! Why did you not notice Nana was not in the house? How can you be so stupid not to check on her?" Mother Su gripped Hansu's collar, "Did you know how serious her fever is? your sister could have died!!"
"I'm sorry-"
Mother Su slapped again. "Don't apologize, it's already over! If you just checked on her, nothing would have happened!"
Hanyu and Muge were shocked when they entered and saw their mother beating Hansu.
"Mom, stop!" Hanyu gripped her mother tightly.
"Mom, don't hit Hansu, it's not his fault," muge said worriedly as he examined Hansu's bruises.
"It's not his fault? Then who do you think it is? Who should I blame for?" Mother Su exclaimed.
Nana was startled awake by the ruckus when she heard her mother yell.
"Mom....mom," Jina calling her.
Everyone's attention was gathered to her.
Mother Su walks over to her side. "How are you, Nana? Come here and drink some water"
"Mom, don't hurt third brother, it's my fault... you should beat me, not brother" Jina grunted.
Mother Su smiled at Jina and caressed her head. "Don't speak, it'll hurt your throat. Don't worry, I won't hit your brother anymore. Just take a rest. Mom is here."
Hanyu and Muge both sigh with relief. "Let's go outside and look at your bruises," Hanyu said, leading his younger brother out of the room.
When they saw the bruises.
"Mom really beat you so hard," Hanyu hissed.
"I'll get an ice pack," Muge says. "Here, place it in your face," Hansu applied the ice to his face.
After sometime Mother Su left the room. She casts a quick glance at Hansu before walking away like nothing happened.
"I now know where you get that scary personality of yours," hanyu told hansu. "I've never seen Mom so angered..."
"Let's rub the ointment in the bruises or it'll turn bad" Muge changed the subject,
Hanyu sighed "Kids will always be kids, they'll do stupid things. I don't understand why would Nana do such a stupid thing, I always thought she was smart."
"You're just a kid too, don't act like you're big enough to know the outside world" Muge retorted.
How did she even get here? What if she was kidnapped? If that little girl recovers, I'm going to smack her on the head!" hanyu vexed.
Muge! Hanyu, hansu!" Someone called them at the back. They turned their heads and saw their dad who came back from abroad.
"Dad!" Hanyu exclaimed.
"Muge, how is little nana?" Father Ji asked worriedly.
"She's fine now and resting." Said muge.
Father locked his gaze on Hansu's face" Did your Mother beat you?"
The three of them went silent and said nothing.
Father Ji walks up to Hansu and stands in front of him, examining his son's face. "How dare she hit you! I never raised a hand to any of you, and now that I'm gone for awhile she beat you? I'll speak with your mother. This abusive behavior will not be tolerated! "
"Dad, I'm okay it's not really serious," Hansu assured father Ji.
"No, I'll talk to her. if she did this to you once, she can do it again." Father Ji said furiously and left looking for mother Su.
The three brothers watch their father's back disappear down the corridor.
Muge shakes his head. "Let's return to the room, Hanyu go to the market and buy some fruits."
inside the ward.
The two brothers sat in the corner, staring at Jina, who is sleeping in the bed.
Father Ji knocked on the door with Mother Su and entered the room.
"Mom, Dad" called muge
Dad Ji nodded to muge. "How is she?"
Muge hesitated for a moment, his eyes shifting between his parents. He could sense the tension in the air, a mixture of concern and anger. "She's stable for now, but the doctor said she needs rest and some time to recover," he replied cautiously.
Mother Su's face softened as she looked at her daughter lying on the hospital bed. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she let out a shaky sigh. "I' don't want to lose another child, it's his fault...my child" she murmured, her voice filled with remorse.
Father Ji's expression remained stern. "Don't blame Hansu for your mistake," he said firmly.
"This is not the way to deal with things, Su mian,"
Tears began to stream down Mother Su's face. "I know, I know. I messed up," she admitted, her voice cracking. "I've been under so much stress lately, and I let it get into me. I'm so sorry."
Father Ji's anger seemed to soften a bit as he looked at his wife, his gaze no longer as fiery as before. He took a deep breath and sighed. "We need to find a healthier way to communicate, especially in front of our children. We can't let our problems affect them like this."
Meanwhile, Hanyu returned from the market with a bag of fresh fruits. He entered the room and observed the scene, sensing the heavy atmosphere. "I got the fruits," he said softly, trying to break the tension.
Muge gave him a grateful smile and gestured for him to join them. As Hanyu put the fruits on the bedside table, he glanced at his parents, his eyes questioning.
Father Ji turned to his sons. "We'll figure things out, but right now, we need to focus on Jina's recovery. The three of you need to rest first your mom and I will take care of your sister."
