Jamie had been caring for Mrs. Lucas in the hospital for several days.

Mrs. Lucas watched Jamie closely and couldn't help but sigh. "I never realized before..."

Sensing another trip down memory lane, Jamie interrupted with a warm smile. "Mom, let's not dwell on the past, okay? What's important is that you're getting better now." "Alright, alright, I won't bring it up," Mrs. Lucas said with a nod, her eyes glistening as she sipped her warm soup. She couldn't deny how much brighter life had become. Around noon, Ben stopped by. Seeing his wife and mother enjoying each other's company brought a sense of relief to him.

"Well, of course," Mrs. Lucas said with a proud grin. "My daughter-in-law is like a second daughter to me."

Jamie glanced at Ben and smiled. "Don't worry, Mom's recovering well. Just give her a few more days, and she'll be good as new. I've got everything under control." "I know you do." Ben's gaze softened with concern. "Just don't overwork yourself."

Before Jamie could respond, a familiar voice echoed from the doorway. "How's Mrs. Lucas doing today?"
