The Ruanlin Family matriarch sat by the bed, watching without wanting to take her eyes off Ruan Jiaojiao until the sound of footsteps approached. It was Du Qing, standing at the doorway with a low cough that finally prompted her to tiptoe out.
"Mom, there's nothing much happening with Jiaojiao here, so we're planning to head back to town now. If anything comes up, just send someone with a message."
"Right, we can rush back anytime," Wu Le added.
"Alright, you all must be tired too, go back and have a good rest."
"What are you saying, Mom? We're family; there's no such thing as tired. Alright, we won't linger, we're heading back now, okay? Take good care of yourself too," Du Qing said.
