The humanoid creature transformed from a dog looked at Lin Lin with a confused expression, tilting its head as if it didn't quite understand the meaning of the long string of words she had just said.
After a long while, he stammered, "I... I'm a patient now. I'm feeling unwell. You have to treat me."
Lin Lin sighed helplessly, turned to the nurse next to him and said, "Go get a hospital gown." The nurse hurried over and quickly brought the clothes.
After Lin Lin handed the clothes to the family of this special "patient", she said, "Why does your dog look not very smart?"
When the woman heard this, she immediately glared and said dissatisfiedly, "How can you say that! My cub is just innocent and kind, and it's very smart!"
Lin Lin shrugged and said no more, but just gestured to the woman to help the human-shaped dog put on the hospital gown.
While helping him get dressed, the woman muttered complaints about the hospital.
After they were dressed, Lin Lin led them to an empty clinic room and said as they walked, "Let's get a checkup first to see the specific situation."
"But you have to cooperate with us and don't make trouble."
After entering the treatment room, Lin Lin asked him to lie down on the examination bed, and the doctor and nurse began the routine examination process, taking body temperature, measuring blood pressure, etc.
Lin Lin watched carefully from the side, her heart full of doubts. She had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know whether this was some kind of supernatural phenomenon or some other special reason.
During the examination, the humanoid creature uttered a few low whimpers from time to time, as if the physical discomfort was unbearable for him.
The woman kept comforting him, "My dear, hold on a little longer, it will be fine in a while..."
And this woman seemed to have learned the traditional Chinese art of changing faces. When she spoke to her little boy, she was so gentle, her voice so soft that it seemed like water could drip out of it, and her eyes were full of pampering and heartache.
But when he turned to look at Lin Lin, his expression changed instantly.
Lin Lin, who was facing away from the woman, seemed to have a pair of eyes on his back: "If you still act like a scoundrel in this hospital, get out with your son.
When the woman heard Lin Lin's words, her face turned red with anger, but she didn't dare to really get angry.
He could only glare at Lin Lin's back, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, saying, "How can you be the dean? You have no sympathy at all. My child is suffering so much, and you are still so fierce!"
Lin Lin ignored her complaints and focused on examining the data and images on the instrument.
After a moment, Lin Lin turned to the woman and asked, "Do you usually treat your puppy like a cripple?"
When the woman heard this, she jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on and retorted loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I treat my pup very well. He eats premium dog food, sleeps in a premium dog bed, and I take him out for walks and play every day. How can I treat him like a cripple?"
Lin Lin looked at her excited expression and calmly pointed to the data on the instrument. "Then how do you explain its muscle atrophy? The test results show that its muscles are very weak and it has hardly received any normal exercise. This is not the state expected of a healthy pet."
"He also has severe gastroptosis. It's obvious that he's often starving, and then he keeps eating without restraint."
The woman said impatiently: "You are so annoying! Can it be cured? If it can't be cured, don't waste time here. I will take the baby somewhere else!" As she said that, she pretended to hug the humanoid creature lying on the examination bed.
Lin Lin's eyes turned cold, and he said seriously, "If you take it away now, its condition will only get worse, and it will be too late for you to regret it then."
"I'm a doctor. It's my duty to cure illnesses and save lives. I must fully understand the situation in order to develop the best treatment plan."
"You are playing with its life by blindly stopping it like this."
The woman was intimidated by Lin Lin's aura, her movements frozen in mid-air, but she still said stubbornly, "I just need you to cure its illness. The rest has nothing to do with you. Don't I know it's my own cub? There must be something wrong with the examination at your hospital."
Lin Lin took a deep breath and patiently explained, "Our examination results are accurate. Look at its current physical condition. Muscle atrophy and gastroptosis didn't develop over a short period of time. There must be long-term adverse factors behind this. If you really want to do this for its own good, you should cooperate with me."
The humanoid dog was whimpering weakly on the examination bed. The sound seemed to be begging the two to stop arguing, and it also seemed to be expressing the pain it was enduring.
The woman looked at her "baby", a hint of hesitation and heartache flashed in her eyes, and her hands trembled slightly unconsciously, as if she was experiencing a fierce struggle in her heart.
Lin Lin keenly sensed this wavering feeling and struck while the iron was hot, saying, "I understand your love for it, but sometimes overprotection can actually cause harm."
"Only if I delve deeper and we work together can we hope to truly make it better, don't you think?"
The woman was silent for a long time, then slowly lowered her raised hand and whispered, "What do you want to ask?"
Lin Lin was delighted and asked hurriedly, "Where does it usually move around? Has it come into contact with any unusual things or special environments?" Although the woman looked reluctant, she still answered one by one.
Lin Lin listened attentively, trying to unravel the information and find the key clues to solve the mystery of the humanoid dog's strange disease.
The woman stared at Lin Lin closely, her eyes still holding a hint of vigilance and distrust that was hard to dissipate, like a mother animal protecting her cubs, always on guard against possible threats.
Seeing the woman's stubbornness, Lin Lin frowned and said emphatically, "Do you think this is just a common ailment? Your 'zizi''s condition has already gone beyond the boundaries of ordinary pet illnesses."
“If we didn’t have the ability and rich experience to handle special situations here, it would have been impossible for it to receive effective treatment.
"If you insist on taking it away now, you will undoubtedly push it straight into a desperate situation. The consequences will be disastrous!"
The woman, however, disagreed and retorted loudly and emotionally, "I don't care. I just see my baby suffering here, and you keep asking questions, as if you are blaming me for not taking good care of it."
"It's my dog. I will find another place to treat it." As she said that, she forcibly picked up the human-shaped dog without saying a word, turned around and strode towards the door of the clinic.
There was a sense of determination in the back, and the steps were hurried, as if he didn't want to stay for a moment.
Lin Lin was unable to keep her and could only watch her back quietly as she disappeared from his sight.
Looking at the open door, Lin Lin sighed helplessly, his heart filled with regret and unwillingness.
