Chapter 210:

The doctor later clarified, “I was too focused on the patient’s vital functions, forgetting that at over fifty, the recovery can’t be rushed. We need to take this slowly…”

Initially, they had been told Ruby might recover enough to care for herself within three to four months, but now the timeline had been extended to six months. Though Eileen and Bailee felt let down, they understood the situation and continued to support Ruby in her daily rehabilitation exercises.

After a short conversation with Ruby, Eileen headed to the kitchen, where Bailee was cooking dinner, the soup in the pot simmering. Bailee was distracted by her phone, a look of sadness on her face. The soup began to boil over, snuffing out the burner, but Bailee didn’t notice.

Eileen quickly moved to turn off the stove and began mopping up the spill with a kitchen towel.

“Oh no!” Bailee exclaimed, setting her phone aside and reaching for the towel, but Eileen avoided her attempt.

“I’ve got this.” Eileen meticulously cleaned the stove and asked, “Who were you so absorbed in texting?”

Bailee, using oven mitts, moved the pot aside to make cleaning easier. While doing so, she answered Eileen’s question without looking up. “I was messaging Huey. Sometimes we play games together. He’s complaining to me because his mom wants him to go on a blind date tomorrow, and he asked me whether he should go.”

Bailee chuckled and added, “I don’t have any right to decide for him. How would I know if he should go? But he’s definitely old enough for marriage and kids; no wonder his family is urging him.”

Eileen paused in her wiping. Turning to Bailee, she said, “You’re also old enough for that; you should start thinking about marriage now.”

“What?” Bailee looked surprised, shaking her head quickly. “I’m still young. I’ll think about that after Mom gets better.”

“It will probably take about a year for Mom to return to normal. You’ve been out of the social scene for nearly six months taking care of her. I’ll find a suitable caregiver for her soon,” Eileen said. She had been pondering this for a while.

Bailee instinctively asked, “How much would a caregiver cost? I couldn’t earn as much as hiring a high-level caregiver would cost. Let’s not waste the money.” Her thoughts were still constrained by financial concerns.

“We have the money. Even though you left the educational institution, your initial PR and marketing efforts greatly contributed to its success. We didn’t hire a caregiver previously because Mom’s condition was so delicate, and we were worried she might be mistreated without being able to tell us about it,” Eileen explained.

“Now she can talk, and with Phoebe around, she can keep an eye on Mom. We can also set up remote monitoring systems easily. The main thing is—there’s an important task that
