The next day, Ye Zhen received a congratulatory text from Ye Qing at the hospital. The Chinese language was broad and profound. There were only a few lines, but Ye Qing's happiness almost overflowed from the screen. Ye Zhen could never imagine Ye Qing's ecstatic expression as she typed the text. This was probably the charm of language.
Ye Zhen replied to the text with two words, "Thank you", and then threw it aside.
"Zhen Zhen, this is the chicken soup that Auntie Sue made for you. Drink more."
During the few days she was hospitalized, her Mother Lu had been taking care of her. Every day, she would bring soup and carefully prepared meals from home to the hospital. Under her meticulous care, Ye Zhen could feel the warmth of family love that she had never felt before from her Mother Lu.
The Lu Clan was busy, and it had to be Lu Beichuan, so he couldn't stay by her bedside every day. He could only visit her after he got off work early every day. But today, Lu Beichuan didn't come alone. There was another person Ye Zhen was very familiar with.
William。
Ye Zhen put down the chicken soup beside her and smiled at William. "Doctor, I haven't seen you in a long time. Quick, take a seat. I'll get someone to pour you something to drink. What would you like to drink?"
William said politely, "Anything is fine."
"Then, how about milk?"
William's smile froze for a moment. He touched the tip of his nose guiltily and awkwardly and said in fluent Mandarin, "No, I'm not thirsty."
"Alright then, have a seat."
What a show of strength.
William glanced at Lu Beichuan, who was trying to stay out of this, and secretly scolded him for being ungrateful.
Lu Beichuan acted as if nothing had happened and asked, "Where's Mom?"
"She took the baby to get vaccinated." After saying that, she turned to look at William. "Doctor, don't just stand there. Have a seat. I haven't thanked you for doing your best to treat Beichuan last year."
Although he said this with a smile, William was terrified when he heard it.
He used the polite words he learned in China and said politely, "Just call me William. I'm a doctor, and that's what I should do."
He was used to living a leisurely life overseas. Being so careful with his words and smiles really made him feel uncomfortable.
"I've been with Beichuan for so long, but I've never seen any of his friends. Since you're here today, I presume you're not just Beichuan's attending physician, right?"
William coughed twice.
Lu Beichuan picked up Ye Zhen's unfinished chicken soup and fed her a spoonful. "We used to be classmates."
Ye Zhen glanced at Lu Beichuan, raised her eyebrows, and opened her mouth to drink the soup.
Spoonful by spoonful, Lu Beichuan finished feeding her a large bowl of chicken soup. William sat at the side and watched the two of them being lovey-dovey.
He knew that Lu Beichuan was difficult to get close to. Not only did others want to get close to him, but he also found it difficult to get close to others. He always had a cold face, and his thoughts were unpredictable. He seemed to be both good and evil. In the past, when he did things, he always wandered around the gray area where it was easy to cross the line. William was really worried that one day, Lu Beichuan would go astray.
Now, he was relieved. There was an old saying in China that went, "Everything has its vanquisher." Ye Zhen might be the one to vanquish Lu Beichuan.
With Ye Zhen around, Lu Beichuan would probably think carefully before crossing the line.
Mother Lu walked in with the child in her arms. She was very happy to see William.
When William was treating Lu Beichuan's illness, he was Lu Beichuan's mother's only hope. When Lu Beichuan woke up, before Lu Beichuan's mother could thank him properly, William returned to the country.
"Dr. William, it's been a long time. I haven't had the chance to thank you properly for treating Beichuan. This time, you can't not give Auntie a chance."
"Auntie, you're too serious. I'm a doctor. Treating patients and saving people is my duty."
Mother Lu looked at William, who was about the same age as her son, and her eyes were full of love.
"This is Beichuan's child, right?"
"Yes, his name is Zhifei. His nickname is Zhouzhou. Can you hug him?"
William carefully carried Zhouzhou over. The little ball was sleeping soundly, and from time to time, he would smack his lips. This warm and cute scene actually made Dr. William, who was a playboy, want to get married and have children.
He wanted to find a beautiful wife, have a cute child, and spend the rest of his life peacefully and happily.
