Back in the neighborhood, I saw an elderly woman who had fallen outside the clinic and was struggling to get up.
Su Li quickly stepped forward to help her up, "Grandma, are you alright?"
Grandma looked at her kindly, patted her hand and said, "I'm fine. I just wanted to go in and get some medicine, and I accidentally fell."
"Then let me help you inside."
Su Li helped the old lady to a chair and looked up.
The clinic looks small from the outside, but the interior is quite spacious, with a neat and orderly rest area, waiting area, payment area, etc., much like a hospital, where everyone is queuing in an orderly manner.
Xiao Yu is quite young, yet she owns such a clinic, which shows she has some ability.
"Ms. Su, you're back from the interview so soon?"
Just as she was about to leave, Xiao Yu came out from inside and saw her.
"Yes, Dr. Xiao, there are quite a lot of people here."
"People from the neighborhood like to come here because it's close and convenient."
"You're being modest. It must be because your medical skills are superb that everyone trusts you."
Xiao Yu, dressed in a white lab coat, was exceptionally handsome, and many girls around him were secretly glancing at him.
"Dr. Xiao." A young girl in a pink nurse's uniform walked over and handed him a bill. "Yaya has finished all her medication. We need to prescribe the third dose today, but her grandmother won't let us. She insists that we can prescribe it after we've made some money."
"It's okay, just register them and prescribe the medicine for them."
"But the old lady doesn't want to. She's already bought on credit the last few times, and she'd feel bad if she bought on credit again."
Su Li didn't understand what they were talking about, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a little girl sitting on a bench nearby.
She looked about the same age as Su Chen, wearing a simple long-sleeved shirt and pants. Her body underneath was extremely thin, as if it were about to break at any moment.
His expression was somewhat blank, staring blankly ahead.
Her hands remained clenched into fists, a gesture most people wouldn't maintain unless they experienced something stimulating.
After Xiao Yu finished speaking with the nurse, he noticed Su Li's focus and said, "The girl the nurse just told me about is this one. She went through some things before, and she became mentally unstable and suffered severe physical damage. She has been taking medication for treatment, but her family is not well-off."
"For a perfectly healthy child to turn into this, she must have gone through a lot of painful experiences."
Xiao Yuyan's eyes showed a complicated expression as he said softly, "She was locked in a dark room by her stepfather for almost three years, never seeing the light of day, which is why she became like this. Later, her biological grandmother discovered her and quickly called the police to rescue her, but the child's psychological trauma is very serious, and she won't be able to get over it for a while."
Su Li's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and her gaze towards the girl was filled with sympathy.
"I've already paid for her medical expenses. Dr. Xiao, please make sure she gets better."
"Miss Su, you..." Xiao Yu was full of surprise.
“This child is pitiful. She deserves a better future and cannot be given up on. I am just doing what I can to help a child who is on the verge of collapse.”
After Su Li finished speaking, she turned and walked away.
The child's grandmother came in from outside and just passed by her.
An octogenarian woman, leaning on a cane, came to her granddaughter and gently stroked her granddaughter's hair with her calloused hands.
Xiao Yu felt a pang of sadness watching this scene, and then glanced at Su Li's departing figure.
"Dr. Xiao, Grandma Ya Ya said she's taking her home," the nurse said.
"No need, let her stay for treatment."
