Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

"Let's reduce the swelling first, and then have the surgery in two or three days. Follow the orthopedic doctor's instructions then. Having the surgery now will not be as effective."

"Once you get to the inpatient department, you'll need to have a CT scan and blood tests, as well as an evaluation of your anesthesia tolerance."

"oh!"

Tan Yan came out.

"Mom, the initial X-ray shows nothing serious, just a fracture of the humerus in her right arm. It didn't compress any nerves or blood vessels."

"I'll contact the hospital for you now, and we'll go to another hospital."

"Sis, why change hospitals? This one is fine, isn't it?"

"Transfer to the orthopedics department, that'll definitely be a regular ward, with four or five patients, it'll be so noisy."

"I'll find another hospital for Mom, a special care ward with only one person. Anyway, surgery can't be done here right now."

"Sister, stay here for the night. It's so late. Let's contact her again tomorrow. Let's get Auntie's injection first to relieve her pain and reduce the swelling. Anyway, she hasn't had surgery yet."

"Auntie's face is turning pale from the pain, stop torturing her."

"Try contacting other hospitals tomorrow and find two more specialists to perform the surgery. You might not be able to get in touch with them this late at night."

"Okay, that works too!"

Ding Yang quickly completed the admission procedures.

Not long after, Tan's mother was admitted to the emergency room and put on an IV drip.

"Auntie, are you feeling better?"

"It doesn't hurt as much anymore."

"That's good. We'll give you two days of injections to reduce the swelling, and then we'll have the surgery."

"Xiao Yang, why don't you take Yan'er home? I'm worried about Old Tan being home alone."

"Sis, Auntie got her injection, she's fine now. I'll take you home, and I'll drive over later."

"I'll stay here tonight. You go back to sleep. You're pregnant; the baby is the most important thing."

"But I'm worried."

"It's alright, I'll stay here. What are you worried about? Auntie is like a mother to me too."

"Oh, sis, where's your nanny, Xiao Liu?"

"It's so late, you should have gone home a long time ago."

"Sis, call her and ask her to come to the hospital. She's usually not bothered at night, but if something happens, she'll definitely have to help."

"OK!"

"Auntie, I'll take Yan'er home. I'll come back later. You can continue with your injection. If anything happens, call the nurse. I'll be there in half an hour at most."

"Okay! It's dark outside, be careful."

"Um!"

Ding Yang took Tan Yan's hand, and the two walked out of the hospital. There were taxis right at the hospital entrance, so they got into one.

Ding Yang held her tightly.

"Sis, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's just a small accident, it'll be fine in a few days."

Tan Yan dialed Xiao Liu's number.

"Hey, Xiao Liu!"

"President Tan!"

"Xiao Liu, I shouldn't be bothering you at night, but my mom just fell and broke her leg. She's in the hospital."

"Ah... Mr. Tan, which hospital is it? I'm coming right away."

"I received the injection at the Fourth People's Hospital of the district, in the emergency room."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

We arrived at Xiangmihu Villa in just a few minutes.

Ding Yang helped Tan Yan out of the car.

Upon entering the hall, Old Tan was sitting in a wheelchair, still lost in thought in the living room.

"Dad, why are you still in the living room instead of sleeping?"

"Yan'er, how's your mother?"

"Oh, I just had an X-ray, and it showed a fracture in my arm. I'm getting an injection now to reduce the swelling. The doctor said I'll have surgery in two or three days."

"Dad, let Mom get injections at the hospital for two days to reduce the swelling. When it's time for surgery, I'll contact a major hospital and find two specialists to perform the operation."

"Oh, it's alright, it's nothing serious."

Ding Yang pushed Lao Tan,

"Uncle, please go back to your room and get some sleep. The nanny, Xiao Liu, has already gone to the hospital. I'll go there right away and stay with her tonight. Don't worry."

"Xiaoyang, thank you!"

Ding Yang carried Lao Tan to the bed and covered him with a blanket.

Leading Tan Yan to the second floor,

"Xiaoyang, how did my mom manage to roll off the bed? She wasn't even dressed!"

"Sis, are you really stupid or just pretending?"

"What's wrong?"

"Your father and mother were having marital relations, and that's when this happened."

"I guess your mom was upstairs and accidentally fell off the bed, and your dad couldn't catch her."

"Or maybe she got too excited and accidentally fell. Older people already lose calcium, and your mother hasn't done any physical labor, so I reckon the loss is even more severe. Her hand rubbed against the ground, and that could have resulted in a fracture."

"What nonsense are you talking about? My parents are so old. My dad has been paralyzed for so many years. How could they possibly have any marital life?"

"If I say it's there, it's there; today is different from usual."

"What do you mean?"

"Let me tell you, when I was helping your dad take a bath, he told me that he took sildenafil, which is Viagra, today."

"what……"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could that be?"

"You stupid woman, would I lie to you? Your father said it himself."

"If that weren't the case, how could your mother have fallen to the ground without any clothes on? Doesn't she usually sleep in pajamas? Only this explanation makes sense."

"Ugh, this is so embarrassing!"

"Sister, I can understand. The elderly are people too, they're just older, but psychologically they're no different from us, and they have their own needs."

"They might not have been prepared, or perhaps they got a little excited at the time."

"Stop talking, you're crazy. I haven't even bothered you yet."

"Sis, why are you causing me trouble?"

"My mom fell to the ground. Why didn't you close your eyes when you picked her up? Didn't you know she wasn't wearing any clothes?"

"Oh, sister, you're being dramatic. I didn't think that much at the time. I didn't know her condition or where she had broken her bone. I was worried that she had a lumbar fracture and was afraid of aggravating the injury."

"Besides, what's so interesting about a woman in her sixties? I treat her like my own mother, so please don't think of me in such a despicable way, okay?"

"snort!"

"Sis, you go to sleep. I'm going to the hospital to be with your mom. I'm a little worried about leaving the old lady alone at the hospital."

"Xiaoyang, the hospital is very close by. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning."

"No, no, your mom's injury is minor, it's nothing serious. I'll come back to get breakfast myself tomorrow morning, and the nanny, Xiao Zhang, will be coming over tomorrow too. You should rest at home, the baby is the priority, I need to come back to wash up tomorrow."

"Alright then!"

"Sis, you go to sleep, I'm leaving."

"Um!"

"Honey, thank you!"

Ding Yang kissed Tan Yan on the cheek.

"Sweetie, go to bed early."

"Um!"

Ding Yang went downstairs, drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and headed to the hospital.

When we arrived at the ward, Tan's mother was still receiving an IV drip.

"Aunt!"

"Xiaoyang, you can stay home and keep Yan'er company."

"Auntie, it's alright. You were injured, and I didn't even come to be with you. That would be improper. Yan'er is asleep, and Uncle is asleep too. Yan'er just called Xiao Liu, and I reckon he's on his way."

"oh!"
