After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

Su Lang was awakened by the pain.

As the anesthesia wore off, the pain from the surgical incision overwhelmed him, abruptly waking him up.

Su Lang remained silent.

He looked at his wife, who was lying on the edge of the bed.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, her face was cold and beautiful yet couldn't hide her haggard appearance, making one's heart soften.

Su Lang felt a slight dryness in his throat. He raised his hand and gently stroked Lin Zhilan's eyebrows and eyes, smoothing out his slightly furrowed brows.

The simple action had already made him break out in a sweat.

Lin Zhilan seemed to sense something, her eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

"You're awake?"

Lin Zhilan's hoarse voice couldn't hide her surprise. She quickly got up and placed her hand on his forehead to make sure his temperature was normal before letting out a long breath.

Su Lang took her hand. "I'm sorry to have worried you."

"You did well, at least you came back alive," Lin Zhilan teased, but couldn't help feeling sorry for you. "Does your wound hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Su Lang's eyes couldn't leave her for a moment.

"Do you have any other discomfort? Do you have bloating?"

"No," Su Lang said with a slight smile, "As long as you're sitting here, I have no problem at all."

Lin Zhilan glanced at him, then took his hand and took his pulse.

A weak, slow, and thready pulse, lacking strength and rootlessness, is a typical pulse pattern indicating excessive blood loss and severe deficiency of qi and blood.

But Lin Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Lang has finally made it through.

As for his physical depletion, with her there, she will definitely help him make up for it.

It was only the second day after the surgery, and due to massive blood loss, Su Lang quickly fell into a deep sleep again.

Lin Zhilan pried his hands off and left the ward, where she was greeted by Director Zhu, who was making rounds.

"Dr. Lin."

"Director Zhu," Lin Zhilan nodded, "Su Lang woke up for a while, but has fallen asleep again now."

"That's good."

Judging from Lin Zhilan's condition, Director Zhu knew that Su Lang was in a safe position this time.

"I'll take someone to check on his incision. Dr. Lin, why don't you go to the next ward and rest for a while? I heard you were busy all night last night."

I only found out this morning from the doctor on duty that Director Zhu didn't work the night shift yesterday.

Lin Zhilan glanced at her watch. "No need, I have to go home."

I left in a hurry yesterday without saying anything, and I don't know how the children are doing.

Director Zhu sighed, "I've already spoken to Director Ye. You don't need to worry about the Traditional Chinese Medicine department these next few days. The dean of the school has also contacted them for you, and your classes will be postponed."

Lin Zhilan relaxed her shoulders and said gratefully, "Director Zhu, thank you so much."

"Don't mention it, it's what I should do." Director Zhu waved his hand, urging her to go back and rest.

It was already the height of summer, and Lin Zhilan hadn't had time to take care of herself yesterday.

She went home, washed up, and then rode her bicycle to the village.

The courtyard was quiet. Lin Zhilan pushed open the door and saw that the two children were being kept in a side room by Xu Yueyun to practice calligraphy.

Liu Feng was helping Aunt Yu start the fire, but her father-in-law, Su Bingcheng, was nowhere to be found.

Lin Zhilan didn't disturb them and went straight into her daughter's room.

She couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep after lying in bed for a short while.

When she woke up again, her daughter was sitting in front of her, looking at her with a smile.

Lin Zhilan smiled and stretched out her hands, "Come here, let Mom give you a hug."

Linlin rushed into her arms and tenderly touched her face, saying, "Mommy is tired."

"Mommy will feel less tired if she kisses you."

Linlin tilted her head back, quite generously, and said, "Let's kiss."

Lin Zhilan couldn't help but laugh and kissed her on the cheek several times.

Xu Yueyun was standing at the doorway at some point, watching the mother and daughter play on the bed. After watching for a while, she said, "Alright, stop playing and get up to eat."

"Mom's here."

Lin Zhilan picked up her daughter and went out of the room.

Su Bingcheng was carrying a pot out of the kitchen when he saw her and said with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't be back for another two days. I specially got a chicken from a fellow villager to stew for you to help you recover."

Following behind him, Aunt Yu wiped her hands on her apron. "I heard from Comrade Wang Rou that you like to eat chicken stewed in coconut. This is my first time making it, and I'm afraid my skills aren't as good as yours."

Lin Zhilan felt a warmth in her heart and smiled as she said to her, "I could smell the aroma from my room; it must be delicious."

Aunt Yu smiled, rubbed her apron, and then turned to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

The family sat around the dining table.

With elders around, Lin Zhilan not only didn't have to take care of the children, but Xu Yueyun's first bowl of soup was also given to her.

"Thank you, Mom."

Lin Zhilan accepted it without ceremony and thanked her with a smile.

In summer, it's easy to lose your appetite, but with coconut chicken served with a spicy and sour dipping sauce, Lin Zhilan ate a few extra pieces, which was quite unusual.

Seeing this, Xu Yueyun scooped a few more pieces of chicken into her bowl and casually asked, "You left in such a hurry yesterday, did something happen?"

Lin Zhilan paused with her chopsticks, then placed a piece of vegetable on her daughter's plate. In a natural tone, she said, "A soldier was injured during training, and it's quite serious. I'll go take a look."

"How is it now?" Xu Yueyun frowned slightly.

"It's nothing serious," Lin Zhilan smiled. "He's out of danger, but I'll probably have to stay at the hospital for the next few days, so the child will have to stay with you at night."

"You go ahead with your work, don't worry about the children," Xu Yueyun readily agreed, but couldn't help adding with concern, "You also need to take care of yourself; you look a bit dark under your eyes today."

Lin Zhilan came over today, didn't say anything, and just took a nap in the room.

Xu Yueyun knew she was exhausted.

Lin Zhilan obediently agreed and observed the two children's reactions.

She originally thought she would have to coax them a bit, but after listening to the two children, they acted as if nothing had happened.

"Baby, is it okay if you sleep at Grandma's house again tonight?"

Linlin nodded readily, then glanced at her brother and hesitated before asking, "When is Mom coming back?"

Her grandparents and brother had all spoken to her about it.

My mother is busy with work, so I can't spend too much time with her.

Although Linlin agreed, she was too young to think that far ahead and couldn't help but ask her mother when she would be back.

Lin Zhilan didn't give her a perfunctory answer. She told her seriously, "Mom is in the hospital. She'll come back to see you when she has time, just like today."

Linlin was finally satisfied and lowered her head to eat her meal attentively.

Lin Zhilan touched the top of her daughter's head, a part of her heart sinking.

Jiang Chengzhou stood up, scooped a chicken wing from the pot, and put it in Lin Zhilan's bowl. "Auntie, you can focus on your work. I'll take good care of my little sister, as well as Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Yu, and Brother Liu Feng."

Lin Zhilan straightened her back and said earnestly, "Then I'll trouble you, Comrade Jiang Chengzhou."

Jiang Chengzhou put down his chopsticks, tapped his heel against his shoulder, straightened his back, and raised his right hand to his eyebrows. "Mission accomplished!"

Everyone laughed.

After finishing her meal, Lin Zhilan rode her bicycle back to the hospital.
