"Of course you can, but you can't watch for too long. Don't worry, with Mom here, I'll help you review together."
"Thanks, Mom!"
"Silly boy, why are you thanking your own mother?"
Kang Li rubbed her good son's head and said, "How are you feeling?"
Min Rui: "It hurts a bit."
"Two ribs are broken, and your left arm's got a comminuted fracture. How could it not hurt?"
Kang Li's eyes were full of pain: "Bear with it. It'll stop hurting soon. Remember not to move around, or else the bone might get displaced."
Min Rui: "It's fixed in place."
Kang Li: "Being careful is always better."

Making the excuse of helping other professors with a few classes, Kang Li only occasionally went back to the courtyard for the next week. Most of the time, she stayed in the hospital. To help Min Rui with nutrition and his recovery, she even squeezed in time at their little Waterwood University home to cook up bone broth, bringing it to the hospital for Min Rui to drink.
