"So, our son and Mengyao are already together?"
Lin Hai looked at Chen Mei, disbelief written all over his face.
Chen Mei shook her head. "I don't know for sure. But the fact that Mengyao came here means their relationship has improved significantly. There's a good chance they'll end up together."
Lin Hai nodded.
"That would be wonderful if they could be together. We don't care about the Xu family's money; it would be good for Xiaoxi if they were together."
"Honey, help me up and let's try."
Chen Mei helped Lin Hai. He tried to get up and slowly straightened his back, but he felt a sharp pain in his back before he could fully stand.
"No… Help me lie back down."
Lin Hai lay back down again, feeling somewhat more comfortable after a while.
"Sigh."
Lin Hai sighed, "With me like this, I won't be a burden to my son, will I? If I end up disabled..."
Chen Mei quickly said, "Don't think like that. Our son can earn money now, and Xu Mengyao's family is also well-off. Even if we need to get you treatment, it shouldn't be too much of an issue."
"Mmm."
Lin Hai nodded slightly.
It was fortunate that the family's circumstances were better now.
If they were an ordinary family, his situation would have a huge impact. A girl might run away overnight if she saw him like this.
"Honey, Mengyao is coming over. What about the gift?"
Chen Mei asked.
Lin Hai thought for a moment, "Let's see how things go. Privately, ask our son how far along he and Mengyao are. We can give it to her when she leaves."
"You, go to the bank and make an appointment to withdraw a hundred thousand yuan."
The going rate in the village was already good at ten thousand, but giving Xu Mengyao that seemed a bit stingy. Lin Chen had sent them money before, so they could afford to give a hundred thousand.
"Okay."
Chen Mei nodded.
They had to make an appointment in advance to withdraw a hundred thousand yuan.
Lin Chen and the others arrived at the hospital entrance about an hour later.
Lin Chen got out of the car, carrying Lin Xiaoxi.
Xu Mengyao got out and opened the trunk. Lin Chen saw that it was filled with all sorts of things.
"Mengyao, are these all the gifts you prepared?"
Lin Chen asked.
Xu Mengyao nodded. "Yes, Xixi, you get out and walk yourself. Mom and Dad need to take things up."
Lin Chen quickly said, "Don't take the things up yet. I'll go up and see how Dad is doing first. Maybe I can cure him, and then there's no need for Dad to stay in the hospital."
"We'd have to bring them back down if we take them up."
Xu Mengyao hesitated slightly, "But—"
"Don't 'but' me. You and Xiaoxi coming over is the best gift for my parents."
"It's just that my dad has a bad back now, otherwise he'd be jumping for joy."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
She rolled her eyes at Lin Chen, "Is that how you talk about your dad?"
Lin Chen chuckled, "I'm exaggerating a bit."
Just then, someone walked quickly towards them.
"Grandma!"
Lin Xiaoxi was the first to see her and called out happily.
Lin Chen and the others turned around, and Xu Mengyao's heart tightened. There were many conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law on television, both in the dramas and in real life.
"Mom!"
Lin Chen called out.
"Aunt Chen."
Xu Mengyao also called out quickly.
She felt her heart beating much faster than usual.
Chen Mei said happily, "Mengyao, Xiaoxi, you must be tired after coming so far? Son, what were you doing? Why did you make Mengyao and the others make this trip?"
"Xiaoxi, Grandma will hold you."
Chen Mei took Lin Xiaoxi from Lin Chen's arms.
Xu Mengyao said, "Aunt Chen, it's only right that we come to visit since Uncle Lin is sick. Aunt Chen, these are gifts for you. Lin Chen said not to take them up yet."
Chen Mei looked at the trunk.
The car's trunk was quite large, and it was almost full!
"Mengyao, you've spent too much money."
Chen Mei said, "Let's not take them up for now. There's no space upstairs."
Lin Xiaoxi said in a milky voice, "Grandma, what's wrong with Grandpa? Does Grandpa need a shot because he's sick?"
"I'm not afraid of injections anymore, you know."
Chen Mei kissed Lin Xiaoxi and said with a smile, "Xiaoxi is so good. Grandpa is sick, but seeing Xiaoxi come over, Grandpa's illness might get better soon."
Xu Mengyao: "Aunt Chen, let's go up first."
A few minutes later, Lin Chen and the others arrived outside the ward.
There was a doctor inside the ward.
"Mr. Lin, from the examination results, there's no problem with your spine, only a slight Lumbar disc herniation."
"This shouldn't have such a big impact."
"We need to further analyze the specific cause."
The doctor said to Lin Hai.
Lin Hai nodded, "Thank you, doctor."
"Then you should rest well first."
The doctor left. Lin Chen and the others entered the ward. It wasn't a single-person ward, but currently, only Lin Hai was a patient.
"Grandpa!"
"Uncle Lin."
Lin Xiaoxi and Xu Mengyao called out.
Lin Hai was overjoyed, "Mengyao, Xiaoxi, it's just a small problem, and I've made you come all this way."
"Grandpa, does it hurt?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked in a childish voice.
"Grandpa doesn't hurt."
Lin Hai said, trying to sit up a bit, but the pain made him grimace.
"Dad, don't move around."
"Lie down properly, let me take a look."
Lin Chen sat down by the side of the bed and reached out to feel Lin Hai's pulse. He was quite good at taking pulses now.
Half a minute later, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dad, this isn't a big problem. You fell and strained your back, and the meridians in your body are a little messed up. The originally straight meridians are now snagged on your bones."
"It's okay when you're bent over, but when you straighten up, your meridians aren't long enough, so it's naturally very painful to be stretched straight."
Lin Chen smiled slightly.
Lin Hai asked, "How do we solve this?"
Lin Chen said, "Your bones are normal now. We need to misalign your bones to relax your meridians."
"After the meridians relax, we'll put them back in place."
Xu Mengyao said with some worry, "Lin Chen, can you handle this? Don't make Uncle Lin's situation worse."
Lin Xiaoxi said, "Mom, Dad is the best."
"Dad, I believe in you."
Lin Chen said with a chuckle, "Dad, don't worry, leave it to me, no problem. Thirty years of professional bone-setting experience."
Xu Mengyao: "…"
Lin Chen was only in his twenties.
Soon, Lin Chen began.
His improvements were comprehensive, and bone-setting was no exception.
"Crack!"
Xu Mengyao and the others heard the sound of bones.
Lin Hai groaned in pain.
Lin Chen massaged and manipulated Lin Hai for a while, and after his meridians recovered, he quickly reset his bones.
"Dad, try sitting up straight slowly."
Lin Chen smiled gently.
Lin Hai slowly sat up straight, surprise in his eyes. It had hurt a moment ago, but now there was no pain at all.
Without anyone's help, he got up and walked around.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
"I told you Dad is the best."
Lin Xiaoxi said happily.
Chen Mei and Xu Mengyao were astonished. Lin Chen had acted, and in just about three minutes, Lin Hai had recovered.
"Dad, your back is fine. But your hand is fractured, and you'll need to rest for two to three months to heal."
Lin Chen said.
For a minor fracture, a child might recover in a month, but for Lin Hai's age, two months would be good.
"Son, isn't there a way to recover quickly?"
Lin Hai asked.
Lin Chen: "..."
"Dad, this is medical skill, not some kind of immortal technique. You're old enough to have a bone fracture and recover in three to five days?"
Lin Hai: "So, I don't need to be hospitalized, right?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "No need for hospitalization. It's just a minor fracture. You can recover at home."
"It's getting late. You should check out tomorrow."
"I'll find a hotel to settle Mengyao and Xiaoxi first."
Xu Mengyao: "Lin Chen, you don't need to worry about us. Liang Ye booked a hotel, and she'll come and pick us up."
"You should spend more time with your aunt and uncle."
"Aunt and uncle, we'll come and see you tomorrow."
Lin Xiaoxi hesitated.
Chen Mei asked, "Xiaoxi, what do you want to say?"
Lin Xiaoxi was puzzled. "Grandma, why does Mom call you Uncle and Aunt? She should call you Dad and Mom."
Xu Mengyao: "…"
