Upon getting home, Zhao Guoying told Meng Xiao to lie down and went to warm up the traditional medicine she was to take.
Meng Xiao did not wince while swallowing the bitter medicine. Her brow did not crease, not even once.
Zhao Guoying felt this girl needed more care as she had not complained about the medicine.
"I forgot to buy snacks to clear the bitter taste. I'll be working tomorrow, so you can go shopping. If there's anything you want to eat, don't hold back. You won't be able to spend all our money."
After she had finished the medicine, Zhao Guoying poured Meng Xiao a glass of hot water and then went to take a shower, asking her to rest.
The bed here was larger than hers, the mattress was softer, and the blanket they used was bigger. Unlike Meng Xiao's small and cramped one, now she could lie closer to the window and look at the strikingly magnificent patterns on the buildings outside.
Beautiful.
