Regarding not coming home the night before, Chen Zhi explained to her mother that she had caught a cold from the rain. As she passed by a friend's house, she went there to take shelter from the rain, only to develop a fever later. Feeling weak, she ended up staying the night at her friend's house.
Chen Zhi had always been obedient and sensible since she was a child. No matter what she said, her mother always believed her.
"Mm, I got it," Chen Zhi lay back down on the bed, closed her eyes, and breathed feebly.
Her mother touched her forehead, and seeing that she didn't have a fever, left the room with a peace of mind, closing the door behind her.
The illness came on fiercely, and after a day of rest, there was no improvement. Chen Zhi had no choice but to go to the hospital for an IV drip on her own.
Her mother initially wanted to accompany her, but Chen Zhi worried about her mother's health from all the running around and insisted on her not following.
