She had always been the apple of their eye, cared for in every possible way.

Now that she was finally getting better, they no longer had to worry.
Mai Xiaomai's mother hugged her excitedly, "Xiaomai, you're finally better, you've finally recovered!"
"Yeah, I'm better. I can walk now. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
"Xiaomai, does your husband Qiao know that you can walk now?"
Mai Xiaomai's mother asked, beaming with joy.
"He doesn't know yet. I'll give him a surprise when he comes back tonight."
"Xiaomai, Qiao treats you so well; you must cherish him. Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook!"
"Yeah, I will."
