When Ding Qiunan arrived in a rage, only Li Chu, Li Wenxuan, and the other two were left in the consultation room.
Seeing his mother glare angrily at his father as soon as she entered the door, Li Wenxuan was bewildered. He didn't know what was going on, so he could only give his father a "good luck" look, and then winked at Duan Jianning and Liu Ziqiang, signaling them to leave.
"Mom and Dad, if you have something to say, please talk first. The three of us need to go out and take care of something."
Duan Jianing and Liu Ziqiang weren't blind; how could they not see the problem? They quickly said, "Master's wife, you and the teacher talk first. We'll go out with our senior brother for a bit."
After saying that, the three of them slipped away as fast as they could.
Li Chu didn't say anything in front of the students. After they all left, he stood up and walked over to his wife, asking, "What's wrong, honey? What happened?"
"What else happened? Don't you have any idea?"
? ? ?
So it was me who caused this? But how did I do it? His mind was completely blank; he had no idea what was going on.
"Still pretending? The whole hospital knows about it."
"No, honey, what's wrong? I've been wondering about it all day. I've been seeing patients at the clinic."
"You're already hugging someone and you're still pretending nothing's wrong with me. Your faces are practically touching and you're still pretending."
"What? I hugged someone? And with..."
As he was talking, he suddenly realized something.
"Why did you stop? Keep talking." Ding Qiunan's eyes were red, and her voice was trembling with tears.
Li Chu didn't bother to explain. He glanced at the closed door and quickly pulled her into his arms.
"Don't touch me, go hug that foreigner."
How could he not hug her? Ignoring his wife's struggles, he held her tightly before whispering in her ear, "Don't move. You can move after I finish speaking. Who told you I hugged that foreigner?"
She wanted to hug me as soon as she got off the bus, but I refused and just shook her hand. If you don't believe me, you can ask the nurses at the nursing station in the lobby later.
Or if you're still worried, you can ask the headquarters' external relations office; the translators and staff need to submit their work records after they return.
"Really?" Ding Qiunan asked, lifting her head from her man's chest.
Seeing his wife's slightly red eyes, Li Chu nodded heavily: "It's true, absolutely true. There were quite a few people in the hall at the time, so many people must have seen it. The foreigner's hug didn't mean anything by it; it was just a courtesy. But I didn't hug her; I'm not used to that."
Ding Qiunan sniffed: "Then why do people say you hugged and even pressed your cheeks together?"
"I suspect it's due to misinformation spreading. The story gets distorted after just three people pass it on..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw his wife suddenly lean over his chest and start sniffing him intensely.
Hmm, there were no other strange smells, just the smell of disinfectant and its own refreshing scent mixed with a hint of Chinese herbal medicine. I nodded in satisfaction.
"Are you really that worried about me?" Li Chu asked, somewhat amused and exasperated.
“It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s been on TV that they say those foreigners are very open-minded. I’m worried about them.”
"Haha," he laughed at his wife's words, cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her lips.
"Don't worry, darling, I won't hug any other woman but you."
"Hmph, you even hugged Huihui."
It's unbelievable that a mother would be jealous of her daughter.
Seeing her man's embarrassed expression, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's go, darling, let's go back to the back. I'm all set here."
Aren't you going to stay here and keep an eye on things?
"No need. They can handle common illnesses very well. My presence here would only make them feel like they have someone to rely on, which is not good."
Outside the consultation room, Li Wenxuan and the other two were sitting on a long bench in the hallway, discussing the patient's condition. They had carefully read what Li Chu had written for them.
Upon seeing their teacher and his wife come out, the three of them quickly stood up.
"Alright, you can go back in and continue seeing patients. Be sure to be careful, attentive, and keep good records."
"yes"
The scene of the master's wife's dark face just now was as if it had never happened.
...
Nine days, just nine days, Sarah and Angel looked at the translated medical report in front of them and seriously doubted whether they had been given the wrong report.
"Li, how could Angel's condition have improved so much in just nine days?"
"What do you think? But it's only getting better now. It will take a long time to return to normal. This is just the initial stage, so the effect is better now. Next, it will be a slow and gradual process."
"Phew~" After listening to the translation, tears began to fall from Angel's eyes. This was a huge surprise for her. When she first arrived in this country some time ago, she thought she was going to die when she saw the scene in front of her.
She didn't believe that anyone in such a backward country could cure her illness.
But putting aside the report, she could clearly feel her physical condition steadily improving.
"Thank you, Dr. Li." Angel wiped away the tears on her face, stood up, and bowed.
"Don't mention it, you've already paid the consultation fee, haven't you? You're my patient, so I'll definitely do my best."
"Li, how much longer do we need to stay here? You know, I want to take her back to China so they can see how effective the treatment has been."
Against the Gods
Li Chu understood her meaning perfectly well; she simply wanted the person in question to arrive sooner so that she could receive her share of the money as soon as possible.
He thought for a moment before saying, "The medicine prescribed this time is a week's supply, which means that Angel must come back within a week to receive the next round of treatment, otherwise all the previous efforts may be in vain."
"Li, one week is a bit too tight. Could we do it in two weeks?"
“Here’s what we’ll do, Sarah. You can stay here this week. Once I’ve seen the changes this week, you can go back again. The interval between the next one can be a little longer.”
Angel visibly breathed a sigh of relief; she had been quite worried that Sarah would forcefully take her back.
Although they came here with the intention of dying, now that they can clearly live and even live quite well, who would want to die?
After listening to Li Chu's suggestion, Sarah frowned and thought for a while before slowly nodding: "Okay, Li, I'll listen to you. I'll go back next time."
“A very wise choice! Jia Ning, go get her the medicine.”
