Chapter 37: Companionship

Zhou Miao glanced icily at Cheng Tai and Yu Ying, then turned to Cheng Heng. "We won't eat spicy food anymore. If we see that kind of food, we can't touch it, understand?" 

Cheng Heng nodded his head under her gaze.

The next day, the doctor came to the house early in the morning and did a series of tests on Cheng Heng.

Zhou Miao did not know much about these medical matters and only watched Cheng Heng obediently undergo the examination.

After the doctor finished the examination, he asked Mother Cheng and Zhou Miao to step out.

Mother Cheng asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is Little Heng? Has his condition improved?"

"Although he went berserk twice recently, according to the indicators, I think the patient's condition can be considered moderate," said the doctor.

As soon as he said this, Mother Cheng's tears fell, and her lips quivered. "Good, good…" 

"Although he has recovered some sensation of pain, it's still not stable," said the doctor.

"Can he recover completely?" Zhou Miao asked somewhat nervously. She had already completed several missions, and she hoped that Cheng Heng's illness could really get better.

"There are very few cases of complete recovery in the past, but looking at the current situation, there should be a chance of complete recovery. Miss Zhou, you have taken very good care of the patient."

Zhou Miao felt that the big burden in her heart had been lifted. Looking at Cheng Heng sitting in the room obediently with his head lowered, holding the little bear plush toy and an emoji with a yawning expression above his head, her eyes softened a little.

"He can stop taking the medicine for a while. Miss Zhou, please spend more time with the patient. This is beneficial to his emotional stability."

Hearing this, Mother Cheng looked at Zhou Miao gratefully, her tears falling non-stop.

The three of them walked to the living room. Father Cheng, Cheng Tai, and Yu Ying all stood up.

As there was a health check today, the three of them took leave to wait for the results at home.

Seeing the tears on Mother Cheng's face, a trace of gloating flashed through Yu Ying's heart. Cheng Heng's condition must have worsened again. She knew it. With Zhou Miao's paltry ability, how could she possibly help to alleviate Cheng Heng's condition?

Yu Ying put on a concerned expression and went forward to help Mother Cheng. "Mother, why are you crying? Although Little Brother is seriously ill, you should take care of your health too. Don't be too sad."

Cheng Tai also supported his mother, "Mom, don't worry. The Cheng family still has me. I'll do my part well."

Yu Ying saw that her mother was crying so hard that she couldn't speak, so she walked over to Zhou Miao and said, "Little Sister, if you need any help, you can come to me..." 

"There's nothing that needs help. The doctor said that Cheng Heng has recovered a little, so you don't have to worry about him."

Yu Ying's face froze for a moment, but she quickly adjusted her expression. "I see. You've worked hard, Little Sister. If you need any medicine or physiotherapy methods, you can let me know."

"Miss Yu, you don't have to worry too much. Cheng Heng can stop taking his medicine during this period. We'll prescribe other medicine again when he has recovered some more." The doctor at the side spoke, and his words felt like a hard slap on Yu Ying's face.

"Is that so…" Yu Ying's smile had almost vanished. "Will there be any risk of his condition getting worse?" 

Zhou Miao said, "Big Sister, you don't have to be so worried. Cheng Heng's condition will not worsen. You should hope for a better future. If Cheng Heng's illness were to worsen, what good would it do you?" 

She couldn't stand Yu Ying's hypocritical appearance of pretending to care about Cheng Heng even though she clearly wanted Cheng Heng to die of his illness.

"Sister-in-law, Little Ying is also concerned about Cheng Heng. It's just that the way she asked was not very appropriate. You don't have to make things difficult for her." Cheng Tai walked over and held Yu Ying in his arms. "Since Little Brother is fine, you can take care of Mom and Little Brother first. Little Ying and I will go back to the company first."

Zhou Miao gave a disdainful snort and ignored this pretentious couple.

"I know you care about your brother-in-law, but your sister is always like this. Please don't be angry with her."

Sitting in the car, Cheng Tai comforted Yu Ying. He took Yu Ying's hand with the hand that wasn't holding the steering wheel, and his fingers rubbed the back of her hand a few times.

Yu Ying held his hand. "I also hope that Little Brother can get better. That way, you'll have less burden."

Cheng Tai laughed. Why was his wife still so innocent? What good would it do him if Cheng Heng recovered? He might even be kicked out of the house after his authority was removed.

However, Cheng Tai liked Yu Ying's kind personality.

The car stopped at the traffic light. Cheng Tai turned to look at his wife. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but with this glance, he almost missed the green light.

The honking sounds behind them rose and fell. Cheng Tai looked at Yu Ying's face, his eyes darkening.
