The Lu Couple Departs

As Grandma Lu grew older, the ailments from her younger years began to resurface, bringing frequent pain. Lin Nannan had witnessed it before, but at the time, there was no Healing Solution left, leaving her helpless to do anything but watch.

Now, she had the Healing Solution, which could be mixed into medicinal pills for even greater effect.

So, she wanted her mother-in-law to take some back—just in case it might save a life.

Knowing Lin Nannan’s capabilities, neither mother nor son objected to this.

While Zhang Xiaofeng and her husband packed their belongings, Lin Nannan worked on preparing the pills, finishing just in time before their departure.

"Take one when you feel unwell, and two more if it’s severe..." Lin Nannan instructed, handing the bottle to Zhang Xiaofeng before lowering her voice. "Mom, these are for emergencies, understand?"

Zhang Xiaofeng looked momentarily stunned, then nodded firmly, clutching the bottle as if it were the most precious thing in the world.

"Take good care of yourself until I return!" Zhang Xiaofeng said reluctantly.

"Alright!"

Lin Nannan waved goodbye.

Given her pregnancy and the dangers outside, Lu Heng didn’t let her accompany them to the station, instead driving his parents there himself.

The commotion didn’t go unnoticed in the compound, and neighbors quickly asked what was happening.

"I wasn’t feeling well before, so my parents rushed over without settling things at home. They need to go back now, but they’ll return when I’m close to giving birth to help with the postpartum period and take care of the baby," she explained with a smile.

Everyone nodded in understanding.

"That makes sense! It did seem sudden."

They had assumed the Lu couple would stay, never expecting them to leave so soon.

"Nannan, what will you do then?" Lin Hong asked worriedly. "Commander Lu is often away on assignments. Will you be alright alone?"

Lin Nannan shook her head. "It’s fine. I can manage for now. If A Heng isn’t around, I can eat at the canteen. The rest isn’t urgent."

Her biggest problem was that she couldn’t cook!

At the thought, she pouted, resolving to try after the baby was born—maybe she had a hidden talent for it.

When she excitedly brought this up to Lu Heng after he returned, his expression shifted slightly before he tactfully replied, "Cooking is exhausting, especially in the summer when you’re drenched in sweat. Besides, you have me and the canteen. Just focus on resting—don’t worry about unnecessary things."

Lu Heng feared she might accidentally break the pots with her strength, so it was better not to risk it.

Lin Nannan, deflated, slumped. "I knew it! You’re just looking down on me because I can’t cook, boohoo..."

Lu Heng rubbed his forehead. His mother had gone back, but her lingering effects hadn't disappeared yet.

"Am I really looking down on you?" he asked, pinching her nose.

With her nose pinched, Lin Nannan’s voice changed, muffled and nasal. "You are! You are!"

Lu Heng took a deep breath, not arguing with her but changing the subject. "Do you want to call your family?"

"If you want to call, go ahead, hurry up!" This time, it was Lu Heng who was being looked down upon.

"Aren't you coming with me?" Lu Hang asked.

Lin Nannan shook her head: "You can say the same thing anyway. Just reassure them and tell them I'm doing fine, got it?"

Lu Hang understood, then sighed and said, "You didn't even ask about your brother after he went back!"

"Dr. Yu already said he's doing great and will be just fine!" Lin Nannan replied dismissively.

With the Healing Solution she secretly added, Lin Kangnian actually benefited from it—his health should be better than ever now.
