Watching Zheng Xianghong and Gao Guoqiang, Xia Xiao thought of her parents back in City S, her heart filled with a sour feeling—truly, one cannot defy the passage of time.
After cooking the porridge, Xia Xiao brought it to Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong. Since Zheng Xianghong was sick and unwilling to see a doctor, Xia Xiao had no choice but to give her medicine, measuring her body temperature every few hours.
Being elderly, even a minor cold could be serious. Zheng Xianghong had been taking medication for three days without improvement and still refused to see a doctor.
Gao Guoqiang's persuasion was futile, so Xia Xiao had to call Gao Jia on that side, hoping he could persuade her.
As soon as Gao Jia returned, he directly took Zheng Xianghong to the car and drove her to the hospital. Xia Xiao asked Shitou to stay with Gao Guoqiang at home while she went to the hospital herself.
In the car, Zheng Xianghong mumbled, saying she was fine and that a sleep would do.
