“Can we buy something from the supermarket first?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

“Okay,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

He drove to a supermarket nearby.

“Since you know medicine, what do you think your uncle’s wife should eat now?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

“She’s still in the hospital now, and she just had an operation. She should eat food that’s easy to digest, like pureed food. Then she can start to eat a bit of meat. I don’t think you need to buy any health supplements for her now, just go and visit her,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“How about gelatin?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

She pointed at a well-packed gelatin.

“She can’t eat it now, she has to wait until she’s out of the hospital and resting at home,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Okay, I’ll leave it for now,” said Zhang Xiuying.

w.a.n.g Yao’s uncle looked worried when w.a.n.g Yao and Zhang Xiuying arrived at the hospital.

“What’s going on?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

“We took the baby to have a hearing test. She didn’t pa.s.s,” said w.a.n.g Yao’s uncle.

“Didn’t pa.s.s?” Zhang Xiuying frowned.

w.a.n.g Yao came to see the baby lying in the ba.s.sinet. The baby looked much cuter now. She was in deep sleep. A newborn baby normally spent most of her time sleeping.

Human beings would sleep less and less as they got older.

w.a.n.g Yao had a close look at the baby.

Actually, babies were different from adults in many aspects, because some of their organs and body functions hadn’t fully developed. It took time for those organs and body functions to develop. At this stage, w.a.n.g Yao wasn’t sure if the baby would be normal and healthy in the future.

“She should be fine,” said w.a.n.g Yao softly. He gently covered the baby with blanket.

“Sorry, what did you say?” asked w.a.n.g Yao’s uncle.

“I said she should be fine. Aren’t the doctors going to review her hearing in a month? Let’s see how she is then,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“You’re right, there is nothing else we can do,” said his uncle.

“Yao, can you take a look at your uncle’s wife?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

“Okay,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

He took a good look at his uncle’s wife.

“She’s recovering well. The only thing is that she still has blood in her uterus,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Is there a lot?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

“Yes,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“The nurses have pressed my belly several times,” said Zhang Xiuying’s sister-in-law.

“You have to speak to the doctor about it. The lingered blood will affect the contraction and recovery of uterus. It could become blood clots if it isn’t cleared,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Okay,” said Zhang Xiuying’s sister-in-law.

As a member of the younger generation of the family, w.a.n.g Yao didn’t stay long in his uncle’s wife’s room. He had to go to a different building in the hospital to visit Li Maoshuang’s uncle.

“Hey, is that young man your nephew?” asked the patient in the same room with Zhang Xiuying’s sister-in-law. She overheard w.a.n.g Yao’s conversation with Zhang Xiuying and her sister-in-law.

“Yes,” said w.a.n.g Yao’s uncle.

“He knows medicine?” asked the patient.

“Yes, he’s a doctor,” said w.a.n.g Yao’s uncle.

“Does he work in this hospital?” asked the patient.

“No, he has his own clinic,” said w.a.n.g Yao’s uncle.

“Oh, I see. My baby also didn’t pa.s.s her first hearing test. Can he take a look?” asked the patient.

“I can ask for you,” said w.a.n.g Yao’s uncle.

“Great, thank you,” said the patient.

w.a.n.g Yao soon arrived at Li Maoshuang’s uncle’s room after he had entered the building.

“h.e.l.lo, Dr. w.a.n.g,” greeted Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin as soon as he saw w.a.n.g Yao.

“h.e.l.lo, how is your dad?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“He’s been doing well the last few days,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin.

Hmmm?

w.a.n.g Yao suddenly noticed that one more patient had been admitted to the hospital. There were three beds in the room, but only one bed was occupied. Now two beds were occupied. w.a.n.g Yao had a glance at the new patient, who was in his 70’s. The patient was very skinny. His face was sallow. His eyes were darkened. He looked at the ceiling like a zombie. His children sat in the chairs next to the bed. They all looked sad.

They took a glance at w.a.n.g Yao as w.a.n.g Yao walked into the room, then continued to look at the patient lying on the bed.

“Please take a seat,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin.

All of the family members stood up when w.a.n.g Yao came into the room.

“I’m fine. Let me take a look at your dad,” said w.a.n.g Yao softly.

He had a good look at Li Maoshuang’s uncle. The old man’s condition was stable and improving.

The decoction he brewed for the old man and the formula he gave to Li Maoshuang worked better than he had expected. His decoction effectively stopped the expansion of tumors and killed part of cancer cells. The alternative version of Regather Soup also consolidated the old man’s corporeity. It fixed the fragile and damaged body tissues, which helped to maintain body function.

“Good,” said w.a.n.g Yao. “Continue to take the decoctions.”

“Okay,” said Li Maoshuang’s cousins.

w.a.n.g Yao gave them more of the decoctions he had brewed.

“Thank you.” Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin took over the decoction with both hands. After he had witnessed the amazing effect of the decoction, he knew how precious it was.

The room was not big and was very quiet. Therefore, the conversation between Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin and w.a.n.g Yao was overheard by the family members of the new patient.

“Is he a doctor? What decoction?” murmured one of the family members.

They looked at the young man who seemed to come to review the patient staying in the same room.

Is he one of the doctors here? How come we’ve never seen him? wondered the family members of the new patient.

“I think that’s all for today,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

w.a.n.g Yao transferred some Qi into Li Maoshuang’s uncle’s body before he left, and hoped it would make the old man feel better.

“Okay, thank you,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin.

Li Maoshuang’s cousins walked w.a.n.g Yao to the door.

“Wait a second, Dr. w.a.n.g.” Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin stopped w.a.n.g Yao.

“Yes?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Are you available at lunch time?” asked Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin.

“No need to invite me for lunch.” w.a.n.g Yao immediately knew what Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin tried to say.

“Just a simple lunch. We just want to thank you,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin.

“You really don’t need to. Maoshuang is my friend,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“We really want to…” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin.

Om! w.a.n.g Yao’s phone vibrated. It vibrated several times while w.a.n.g Yao was in the room. He set his phone on silent before entering the room.

“Sorry, I have to answer this call,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“h.e.l.lo? Uncle…What? No, I’m still here in the hospital. I came to see my friend’s uncle…Okay…I’ll come now,” said w.a.n.g Yao. “Sorry, I have to go now.”

“Okay, and lunch…” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin.

w.a.n.g Yao shook his hand with a smile.

He went back to the Maternity Ward after leaving the Oncology Ward.

“What’s going on?” asked w.a.n.g Yao as soon as he saw his uncle.

“Well, the baby of the woman staying next door also failed the hearing test in the morning. She heard what you said to me. Can you take a look at her baby?” said w.a.n.g Yao’s uncle.

“Where is the baby now?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Next door,” said his uncle.

“I can take a look, but they might not take my words seriously,” said w.a.n.g Yao ask he walked into the room next door.

“Dr. w.a.n.g!?” As soon as w.a.n.g Yao entered the room, a middle-aged woman greeted him warmly.

“Yes, you are?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

Looking at this woman who gave w.a.n.g Yao a warm welcome, w.a.n.g Yao couldn’t recall if he had met her before.

“I’ve seen you before, in Renhe Clinic,” said the woman.

“Oh, h.e.l.lo.” w.a.n.g Yao did work in Pan Mei’s clinic for a while, and he had good reputation there.

“Are you better?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Yes. I was fine 20 days after I had taken the herbs you prescribed. I no longer have headache. I was going to say thank you to you, but never b.u.mped into you again in the clinic,” said the middle-aged woman. “Are you here to visit a patient?”

“Yes,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Dr. w.a.n.g, thank you for coming here. Can you take a look at my baby?” asked a man in his 30’s.

His child didn’t pa.s.s the hearing test in the morning. Everyone in the family was worried.

“I can take a look at your baby, but I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to see anything abnormal,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

The baby was only born less than one week ago. Some of his organs hadn’t fully developed.

He had a good look at the baby lying in the ba.s.sinet.

“Well, I don’t have a definitive answer at this stage. I think he’s fine, but you have to wait for a month until he is reviewed,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Okay, thank you,” said the father.,

“Hey, Dr. w.a.n.g, are you also a pediatrician?” asked the middle-aged woman.

“No, I just know a tiny bit of pediatrics,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Can you take a look at my grandson?” asked the middle-aged woman.

“Mom, Xiaobei’s hearing hasn’t been tested yet,” said the middle-aged woman’ daughter lying on the bed.

“Never mind, just take a look,” said the middle-aged woman.

w.a.n.g Yao couldn’t turn down the over-friendly middle-aged woman, so he had a look at her grandson.

“I think he should be fine,” said w.a.n.g Yao, smiling.

Honestly, he was not 100 percent sure.

After he had seen the two babies, he went back to his uncle’s wife’s room to say goodbye to her and his uncle. Then he left the hospital, with a plan to return to the hospital in the afternoon. His mother continued to stay in the hospital. His uncle’s wife was going to be discharged from the hospital that afternoon.

“Don’t forget to come back in the afternoon,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“I won’t. Call me if you need me,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Hey, is that young man a doctor?” The family members in the room next door were all talking about w.a.n.g Yao.
