Chapter 767: Not Sure If It’s Good News Or Bad News

The doctor ordered an X-ray for Gu Shaoting and then studied the films repeatedly.

“Doctor, how is his leg?” Shu Pan asked nervously.

The doctor put down the films and said, “The joints are healing well. There’s no big problem.”

“But why is my leg so painful sometimes? It also feels numb sometimes. And sometimes I can’t feel my leg.” Gu Shaoting shared his doubts.

“That’s caused by pinched nerves. It will take time to recover. We can’t rush it. You might suddenly wake up one day fully recovered. Besides, you are probably suffering from psychological barriers when you feel you can’t walk because of the pain. You’ve probably heard the same advice – continue with physical therapy, physiotherapy, and follow-ups.”

“Okay, thank you, doctor. We’ll be diligent with the physical and physiotherapies.” Shu Pan said gratefully.

Was this good news or bad news?

The doctor’s words were a little too diplomatic, which made Gu Shaoting even more frustrated. When would he recover?

He could only walk a little now with the help of a walking stick. He still couldn’t carry anything heavy, not even Joy.

He was very anxious.

Shu Pan seemed to have noticed his frustration when they left after thanking the doctor.

She comforted him on their way home. “Don’t rush it. The doctor also said that everything looks good. Let’s rehabilitate slowly.”

“Sigh, I just don’t know what to do. I’m so disappointing.” Gu Shaoting felt a little defeated.

Shu Pan saw it but there was only so much she could do.

…

More than a month had passed since they came back to China. Winter vacation had arrived and the end of the year was approaching. Everyone got started with their new year shopping, hoping to ring in a prosperous new year.

Shu Pan’s pregnancy bump had also grown. She was about six months pregnant now and her movements were not as agile as before.

So, it was mostly Auntie Li who was busy with the new year preparations. Shu Pan only played second fiddle. She also sent Auntie Li to do the necessary new year shopping.

Shu Pan suddenly thought of something. It would be new year soon. Should they invite Song Can over? After all, she was Shaoting’s mother and should be invited over for reunion dinner.

Hence, she asked Gu Shaoting over dinner that night, “Do you want to call Mom and invite her over to celebrate new year together? It’ll feel more festive.”

Gu Shaoting was eating when he heard Shu Pan’s words. His hands paused before he scooped a mouthful of rice into his mouth and chewed slowly. After swallowing, he said, “I’ll ask her later.”

Gu Shaoting still respected his mother, so he called her after dinner.

“Mom, it’ll be new year soon. Let’s celebrate together. It’ll be more festive that way.” Gu Shaoting said sincerely. After all, she was his mother and he didn’t want her to be alone on festive occasions.

“Let me think about it.” Song Can felt uncomfortable at the thought of seeing Shu Pan.

“Mom, Joy misses you. Just come over.” Gu Shaoting played his trump card. He knew that his mother loved Joy. He had heard from Auntie Li that Song Can came over to see Joy twice when they were in France.

“Alright then, for the sake of my dearest granddaughter.” Song Can agreed reluctantly.

On New Year’s Eve, Song Can came over with a gift. Of course, the gift was for Joy.

Shu Pan greeted her politely when she saw her.

Song Can snorted arrogantly.

Shu Pan pursed her lips helplessly but did not take her mother-in-law’s coldness to heart.

She just needed to do her part. She didn’t need to care about anything except that Song Can was an elder who must be given due respect.

“Joy, Grandma is here. Where are you?” Song Can walked straight to Joy’s room and saw that Joy was playing house alone.

“Grandma, you haven’t visited for a long time.” Joy did not reject Song Can. She even loved her grandmother a little. Children’s minds were very simple. They would like anyone who liked them.

Song Can had always been fond of Joy.
