Song Ning reached out and patted Bai Yu’s head as she said gently, “Alright, stop crying and listen to me.”
Bai Yu tried to calm down and stopped her tears. After a moment, she looked at Song Ning with her red and swollen eyes and an eager and devout expression.
“Treatments using traditional Chinese medicine are relatively slow. I can’t tell you for sure how long it’ll take so you’ll have to persevere. If you’re able to persevere, you’ll definitely stand up and walk again. If you’re willing, we can start the treatment today. What do you think?”
“Alright!” Bai Yu replied without hesitation.
Song Ning said again, “I’m not a doctor in this hospital. I’m only here for the exchange program. In the future, I’ll come twice a day to perform acupuncture, and I’ll be bringing three or four interns to not only help me, but also to observe and learn. Are you okay with that?”
“Yes!” Bai Yu replied in a clear voice.
Song Ning sighed in relief inwardly upon hearing this. Then, she looked at the young doctors standing behind Director Wang before she said, “All of you can return for now. Later, you can accompany me as I perform acupuncture.” After a beat, she added, “What do you think, Director Wang?”
Song Ning was annoyed at herself. She was not very good at interpersonal relationships like Jiahui. She had almost forgotten about Director Wang.
In fact, Director Wang did not notice this at all. She was completely shocked by Song Ning’s superb performance. After hearing Song Ning’s question, she hurriedly said, “Of course, of course. It’s their good fortune being able to learn from you.”
Following that, Director Wang finally noticed the unsightly expression on Director Li’s face. She could not help but feel happy. She said, “Congratulations, Director Li. This time, your department has brought glory to our hospital again.”
Director Li only smiled unnaturally and did not say anything else. His heart was flooded with hatred for Song Ning at this moment.
As they were leaving the ward, Bai Yu’s father followed them out. He asked, “Dr. Song, can we have a chat? I want to explain Xiao Yu’s condition to you.”
Without waiting for Song Ning’s reply, Director Li said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Bai. We’ll hand over Bai Yu’s information to Dr. Song after this. We’ll do our best to treat her.”
Bai Yu’s father saw that Song Ning was standing silently at the side so he felt anxious. However, he did not know what else to say. After a moment, he said tearfully, “Dr. Song, I’m sorry to trouble you. Please save Xiao Yu. She’s still young. If she’s like this for the rest of her life…”
Song Ning said calmly, “Mr. Bai, I’ll definitely do my best. Please rest assured. In my opinion, compared to her legs, it’s more important that you take care of her emotions. Her personality now is very extreme. This will cause her to feel depressed very easily. Don’t just focus on the negative effects of her legs, and try to guide her. I’ll pay attention to this matter as well.”
Bai Yu’s father nodded. “Thank you! Thank you!”
The interns’ eyes were shining as they looked at Song Ning. They instinctively followed her, making Director Li’s expression turn even darker than before.
Song Ning did care about Director Li at all. She had intentionally angered and embarrassed him. She knew she could make use of him, and she would not go easy on him at all.
…
After the rounds, Song Ning asked Director Li for the medical records immediately.
Director Li really regretted his decision earlier. He did not expect things to turn out like this. However, things had already developed to this point so there was nothing he could do. He could only play along and wait for a chance to cause damage.
Song Ning’s brows were slightly furrowed as she read the medical records.
Upon seeing this, Director Li asked, “What’s wrong, Dr. Song? Is there anything I can help you with?”
Song Ning replied, “No. Thank you, Director Li.”
