Ling Danian pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know the specifics, but I do know that the Ye family, who are very influential in Beijing, Dr. Shi, Chairman Yang... have all received her favors. That year, it was this group of people who pleaded for her and won her a chance to live."
"Okay, thanks."
Before leaving, Yan Lin called Wen Jin and told her about Ling Danian's serious illness.
"What? Are you serious?" Wen Jin asked.
She felt a tightness in her chest, secretly thinking that this was retribution, but then she remembered that Jiaojiao was, after all, his daughter, so she went to Ling Junye, wanting to bring Ling Danian home...
Ling Junye remained silent for a long time.
After a long pause, he finally said, "For my little sister's sake, I'll give him a chance."
Ling Jiaojiao was the happiest.
She didn't have many painful memories or past grudges; she only knew that her father could finally come home, so naturally she clung to Ling Danian every day.
Ling Danian felt quite guilty towards his youngest daughter, so he took her hand and guided her in practicing calligraphy and drawing. This gradually helped the little girl to understand and develop a love for learning.
Every midnight, Wen Jin would hear Ling Danian's painful groans and guess that it was cancer pain. Feeling sorry for him, she would go to the hospital, buy painkillers, and secretly put them in his water to give him.
At first, Ling Danian was unaware of the truth, thinking that his health had improved, and was even happy for a while, until he caught Wen Jin, who had "drugmed" him, on the spot.
Wen Jin jumped up in surprise and stammered, "I... I saw you were upset..."
Ling Danian felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
He walked to Wen Jin's side, looking directly at his wife. His silver hair was striking, and his eyes were full of guilt and sorrow as he said, "Xiao Jin, in the end, it was my fault... that I ruined you."
He didn't give her many happy days; she lived in constant fear with him.
He devoted himself to his work and didn't care much for his seriously ill son, assuming that his wife would understand and that his son would know his feelings when he grew up.
It wasn't until his death was imminent, until Wenjin filed for divorce, until he lived alone in the small courtyard, feeling the torment of illness and the weakness and powerlessness, that he understood his son's pain and the helplessness of his wife's tireless efforts day and night.
Unfortunately, the repentance came too late.
He even lost the chance to take care of his daughter.
Wen Jin reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him, "Don't think too much about it. Jiaojiao has made a lot of progress recently, all thanks to you. I've never seen her so motivated and ambitious before."
Hearing her words, Ling Danian found some solace.
Hospital.
Dai Chunying brought the newly developed nerve repair drug into the ward. She looked at the Ye family and said, "In principle, this drug should undergo rigorous testing and trials before it can be used. I'm not sure right now... whether or not to give it to Qiqi."
The Ye family members sat together at the table in the outer room.
They looked at the medicine on the table with serious expressions.
Ye Yuan'er picked up the medicine, smelled it, broke it open to examine it carefully, and even tasted it. This scene left Dai Chunying dumbfounded.
"It's alright. My Xiaoyuan has a talent for medicine. Don't underestimate her because of her young age. She can handle most common illnesses." Night Battle Man said proudly.
They also trusted Ye Yuan'er quite a bit.
This child was the only girl among the five. She was bold and sensible by nature and never caused any trouble for the Ye family. Instead, she gave a lot of pertinent advice.
Dai Chunying was both amused and exasperated.
She works in a hospital and has seen countless patients. When her family members are sick, she treats them and the whole family works together to take care of them. She has never encountered a case like this before.
The Ye family was the first.
“I’m willing to be a test subject for my mother,” Ye Lili suddenly said.
"Me too."
"And me—"
The men who fought at night all expressed their opinions.
"Including me, all the members of the Ye family can participate," Ye Ting said.
“…” Dai Chunying.
She was immediately filled with mixed feelings, both touched and curious about the patient, Ye Qiqi.
“I want to ask, how did Qiqi get sick? I also saw a lot of stretch marks on her stomach. Her belly should have been very big back then, not like a single pregnancy…” she asked.
Liu Zhaodi shook her head.
She said in a low voice, "We don't know. When we saw her, she was seriously injured and had become delirious. We've been trying to treat her for so many years, but it hasn't worked."
As the mistress of the Ye family, Liu Zhaodi, a woman from the countryside, had followed her husband through a life of glory and witnessed countless grand occasions. When Ye Ting brought back the dying Xu Manzhi, she was just as anxious.
This child is so pitiful.
Most people wouldn't have survived, but she managed to live on.
Although the entire Ye family mobilized, she didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.
“Alright, let’s try the drug first. Once we’ve confirmed its safety, we can begin treatment,” Dai Chunying said.
Once the nerves are repaired, Ye Qiqi's illness will be half cured.
Recently, psychiatric medications were introduced first, which had a slight effect on stabilizing the patient's mood. Now, there are no more panic attacks, and the patient's tolerance to light has improved.
Even with a crack in the dimly lit hospital room letting in some light, she never lost control.
Dai Chunying was quite pleased that the treatment was progressing.
She stood up and said to Ye Lili, "Take me inside to see her, and then go back and write a summary report for several departments to discuss together."
"good."
Ye Lili got up and led her into the house.
In the dimly lit room, the curtains were slightly ajar, and sunlight streamed in, casting slanted rays onto the walls. Ye Qiqi sat in a chair with her back to the door, her black hair cascading down the floor.
But she reached out her hand and cautiously touched the light, then recoiled as soon as she touched it. A moment later, she reached out to touch it again.
One after another, gently, tentatively.
Looking at this scene, Dai Chunying felt a strange and inexplicable sadness.
What happened to her that made her so averse to light?
"Mother--"
Ye Lili called out, and the woman sitting in the chair slowly turned her head. Her unfocused gaze fell on Dai Chunying for the first time, as if she were... pondering.
Dai Chunying was overjoyed.
This proves that the patient's condition is improving.
She can now make eye contact with people.
That's great, that's great.
She couldn't help but step forward, squat down in front of Ye Qiqi, look into her beautiful big eyes, and ask, "How are you? Are you feeling alright?"
Ye Qiqi remained motionless.
She looked tired, and her eyes seemed unfocused.
Dai Chunying reached out to feel her pulse and carefully examined her complexion. Sure enough, she found that Ye Qiqi was slowly getting better, and she couldn't help but feel excited.
Having treated many patients, this is the first time I've ever been so flustered.
As she stood up, Ye Qiqi suddenly reached out and touched Dai Chunying's wrist, gently hooking it, as if unintentionally, yet also as if in response to the doctor...
This scene shocked Ye Lili.
This was the first time he had ever seen his mother make unwanted advances towards anyone other than him.
The shock I felt was beyond words.
Dai Chunying smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will do my best to cure you."
Lowering her head again, Ye Qiqi closed her eyes to rest, as if the scene just now was an illusion.
