As Bai Yu’s mother tried to suppress her tears, Song Ning reachedout and patted Bai Yu’s mother’s shoulder. She said, “I understand. My son is about two years old now. I also wish to give him all the good things in the world even if it means risking my life.”
Bai Yu’s mother looked at Song Ning, slightly surprised.
Song Ning pointed at the insulated lunch box and asked, “Is this for Xiao Yu?”
Bai Yu’s mother nodded.
Song Ning asked, “Can I bring this to her? I’ll plan to have a chat with her.”
Bai Yu’s mother was a little confused.
Seeing this, Song Ning said gently, “Bai Yu’s emotions are quite unstable. I need her emotions to be stable when I treat her. Otherwise, the treatment will be affected. If you ask me, her psychological problems are more serious than her physical problems.”
Bai Yu’s mother quickly handed Song Ning the lunch box and said repeatedly, “Thank you for your hard word, Dr. Song! Then, I won’t stay here. Otherwise, I might affect her mood.”
Bai Yu’s mother looked a little sad at the end of her words.
Song Ning said reassuringly, “It’s because you’re her mother that she dares to throw her tantrum without holding back. That’s because you give her a sense of security. She knows that no matter how she acts, you’ll still be by her side because you’re her mother.”
Bai Yu’s mother looked at Song Ning in surprise.
Song Ning said, “Just treat her like a normal child. Don’t pity her. All you need to do is stay by her side.”
Song Ning left Bai Yu’s mother to mull over her words.
…
When Song Ning returned to the room, Bai Yu’s eyes lit up. A stunned expression appeared on her face when she saw the lunch box in Song Ning’s hand.
Song Ning raised the head of the bed after she set the lunch box down. She raised her chin and gestured for Bai Yu to eat.
Bai Yu looked behind Song Ning and asked, “Where’s my mother?”
Song Ning turned slightly to block Bai Yu’s line of sight and said, “Your mother sent this meal to you. I sent her away and told her to bring you a few books. I’m sure you’ve not been studying at all ever since you’ve gotten injured.”
Bai Yu glared at Song Ning with a sullen expression on her face.
Song Ning turned a blind eye to it and said, “Eat.”
Bai Yu did not move.
Song Ning placed her hands in her pockets as he said, “What? Are you waiting for your mother to feed you? Your legs are injured, not your hands. You can still eat on your own. You’re not a child. My son is two years old, and he doesn’t need me to feed or dress him. Are you worse than a child?”
“You… have a son?”
Song Ning successfully diverted Bai Yu’s attention with those words.
Song Ning nodded. “What’s wrong? Don’t I look like I have a son?”
“You look like you’re in you’re in your early twenties,” Bai Yu said as she shook her head. It had been a while since she had spoken so calmly.
Song Ning opened up the lunch box and stuffed the chopsticks in Bai Yu’s hands before she gestured for Bai Yu to eat again. Then, she took a seat by the bedside and said casually, “There are some things that can’t be seen by just looking. Your legs are an example. It looks like you can’t use them anymore, but that’s not the case. It’s just that it’s not been used for a long time so it needs time for you to be able to use them again.”
Bai Yu was briefly stunned. She held the chopsticks but did not pick up any food. Then, she asked softly, “Dr. Song, can you really heal my legs?”
Bai Yu’s attitude and tone were normal.
Song Ning smiled. “Eat well. Your mother personally sent this over. After you’re done eating, you’ll have more energy. Then, you can ask your questions, and I’ll answer them. What do you think?”
Bai Yu stared at Song Ning intently, and Song Ning faced her gaze calmly.
After a moment, Bai Yu’s gaze grew determined before she ate the food heartily.
