Hao Xuejun realized the severity of the situation: "Dad."

Hao Yuanfang was still furious and didn’t spare even Hao Xuejun: "Don’t you know what kind of person your mother is? Why didn’t you persuade her? Now look, what should we do next?"

Pacing back and forth in the ward: "I made several trips just to get someone to agree to come and help you with the acupuncture once they were done with other matters, but now it seems there’s no hope at all."

Looking at his wife, he raised his hand but put it down again, gritting his teeth: "You really mess things up more than you help. Did you enjoy yourself, knowing you endangered your son? Are you happy now?"

Ding Xiulian was panicking, stuttering: "The person who picked her up just said she’s heading to a ward not far from here. How about we go over and talk to her properly?"

Hao Yuanfang stared at her, enunciating each word: "I warned you last time. What did you say back then? Why don’t you ever learn from your mistakes? Your son is so unlucky to have a mother like you."

Meanwhile, Xinyan had already met Grandpa Jiao.

There were quite a few people in the ward, all of Jiao Family’s children were there: "Grandpa Jiao, how are you feeling?"

Mr. Jiao smiled and waved at her: "It’s nothing serious, but it did make you come to the hospital."

Xinyan helped with an examination: "It’s really nothing serious, but as you get older, you might experience some osteoporosis. You’ll need to take more calcium regularly."

Mr. Jiao nodded: "The doctor just said the same thing."

At this moment, Jiao Family’s eldest daughter-in-law, Jiang Cuixu, approached: "I thought since we’re already at the hospital, we might as well give him a full check-up."

Xinyan agreed: "Aunt is right, once you’re older, regular check-ups are important." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Jiang Cuiyu turned to Xinyan: "Do you need me to prepare anything for the acupuncture?"

Mr. Jiao chimed in: "Yes, yes, hurry up and prepare. Xinyan is always busy, let’s not take up her time. Once she’s done with the acupuncture, she can get back to her own matters."

Xinyan quite liked the straightforward nature of the Jiao Family: "Grandpa Jiao, today I’ll do the acupuncture on your back and head, you just need to lie down."

The patient in the neighboring bed, seeing the acupuncture about to take place, stopped chatting and looked over.

Once Mr. Jiao was lying properly, Xinyan opened the silver needle kit she always carried with her. They were all sterilized, so she could start the acupuncture directly.

Xinyan was very quick with the needles, and before long, the back was covered with quite a few needles.

Then she moved to the head area.

Just as she was about to start, the elderly woman in the neighboring bed remarked: "Oh my, even on the head? This miss looks quite young; you children are really bold.

The head isn’t like other areas, a wrong needle could be a big problem."

Xinyan wasn’t upset by this, and calmly replied: "Ma’am, please don’t worry, I’m sure my acupuncture won’t go wrong."

The elderly woman, hearing this, covered her mouth and watched intently as Xinyan performed the acupuncture.

Once Xinyan was done, the elderly woman let out a long breath: "Is it done already?"

Just as she was about to say something else, a family member at the bedside pulled her back: "Mom, you should stop worrying; this young lady’s acupuncture skills are clearly advanced."

Grandpa Jiao had been wanting to speak; he gave a thumbs up to the person speaking: "You got that right. Her acupuncture skills have been truly acquired; don’t be fooled by her age, all her mentors are highly renowned."

Jiao Family’s eldest son, Jiao Ruixiang, approached: "Alright, don’t show off too much, Xinyan is still busy."

The meaning behind his words was obvious—if you continue bragging, you’ll just create more trouble for Xinyan. Didn’t you notice how the elderly woman is eagerly staring at Xinyan, full of excitement?

Just as he finished speaking, an even more excited voice came from the doorway: "Young lady."

Everyone in the room looked over.

Xinyan did not expect to encounter Mr. Ye, whom she had saved on the train, here: "Mr. Ye, why are you at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?"

Beside him, Xiao Liu escorted Mr. Ye into the room: "Nothing major, he came a few days ago for a check-up, and today he’s here to get the results."

Xiao Liu, somewhat excited, said: "Comrade, could we speak for a moment?"
