Youre like a quail. Youve been twisting around for half a day just because of this?

What else could it be doing?

Youre already in your thirties. Arent they just menstrual cramps? Just say it openly.

Lin Yi, Ill strangle you to death! Liang Ruoxu pinched Lin Yis arm. Lower your voice.

Its not a sensitive question, Lin Yi said.

If you say that youre 18 years old and thin-skinned, I can understand. But at your age, youre already a grandmother in the countryside. Whats there to be embarra.s.sed about?

What do you mean at my age? Im only 30!

Theres nothing we can do about it, Lin Yi said, Those who claim they can treat it are all liars. At most, they can help alleviate the symptoms.

Is there no cure?

Others dont have a cure, but I do.

What is it? Tell me quickly.

Give me one night and Ill help you achieve ten months of peace.

One night?

Liang Ruoxus face turned red as she understood what Lin Yi was talking about.

Im being serious. Be decent.

I didnt take off my pants while chatting with you. How am I being indecent? Lin Yi said.

If you dont believe me, think about it yourself. Which of the women around you who have given birth have such symptoms?

Um

Hearing Lin Yis words, Liang Ruoxu thought for a moment, That seems to be the case.

So, just give me one night. If it doesnt work, Ill pay you 500 yuan.

Liang Ruoxu put her hands on her waist. So youre saying that a night with me is only worth 500 yuan?

Dont say that. Lin Yi said.

500 yuan is just a basic service. For every additional action, theres an additional fee. Each position will cost a separate sum. Moreover, with my physique, Ill definitely add an unlimited number of hours in the end. I wont be able to leave without spending tens of thousands of yuan in that night.

Lin Yi, stop talking nonsense with me! Liang Ruoxu said.

Im not fooling around with you. Whats the solution?

Drink more hot water.

I dont want to hear that! Liang Ruoxu said, If a sc.u.mbag gives me the same advice as a normal man, Id rather not listen to it at all.

Dont drink cold water.

You!

Sir, we want to ask you for directions. We want to register for the pediatrics department. Where should we go?

Just as they were talking, a young couple ran in from outside.

Lin Yi looked at the person who spoke. The couple should only be a little older than him, but they looked much older than him.

Moreover, their dark skin and simple clothes made them look like they came from the countryside.

In addition, there was a baby in the womans arms.

Lin Yi could tell that it had just been born not long ago.

The doctors are all off work at this time. They usually clock in the morning. Just come early tomorrow, Lin Yi said.

Huh? Theres no one available?

The woman stomped her feet anxiously. What should we do now? Do all hospitals only open for registration in the morning? Will we not be able to see a doctor now?

All the hospitals only open their registrations in the morning. No one is registered in the afternoon.

Lin Yi looked at the woman and said, Is the child sick? Im the director of cardiology at Huashan Hospital. I can do a simple checkup for the child. If its not serious, you can come back tomorrow.

Young people nowadays doted on their children far more than before.

When the child felt a little uncomfortable, they would become so anxious that it was as if the sky had collapsed.

This kind of thing happened almost every day when Lin Yi was on duty in the emergency department.

Therefore, he wanted to give the young couple a heads-up and rea.s.sure them.

After learning of Lin Yis ident.i.ty, the couple seemed to have seen their savior. The womans tears fell at this moment.

We both came from the other county. After giving birth and going through confinement, I handed the child over to my mother-in-law in my hometown to take care of him. Then, I went to Zhonghai with my husband to work and earn money.

But this morning, my mother-in-law called me and said that our child couldnt move his hands and feet. The neighbor, w.a.n.g Laoers, child was just a month old but could already move his hands and feet. So, the two of us rushed back and realized that that was really the case, so we drove here.

Doctor, please do us a favor and help us perform a check up. Is it serious? Is he lacking nutrition?

Hearing the womans description, Lin Yis expression turned serious.

Liang Ruoxu also noticed this. It was rare for Lin Yi to look so serious.

Come, you carry the child. Ill perform a simple check-up first.

Because Lin Yi had clinical experience in all subjects, pediatrics was nothing to him.

Okay, okay, okay

The woman responded as she opened the swaddling cloth, revealing the childs arms and legs.

Lin Yi grabbed one of the arms and gently raised it. After letting go, the arm fell back down.

Lin Yi repeated this action again, but the result was the same.

Then, Lin Yi did the same experiment on his legs and other arm. The results were the same.

Dont be anxious. Ill take you to the emergency department for a detailed checkup.

Seeing Lin Yis serious expression, the couple became even more nervous.

Doctor, what kind of illness is this? Dont scare us.

Dont be anxious. The environment here isnt proper. My examination might be inaccurate. Ill get a professional pediatrician to examine him again.

Because he had the most clinical experience in the entire Huashan Hospital, no one was more authoritative than Lin Yi.

The reason why he said this was because he wanted to further confirm his guess with the help of proper medical equipment.

Okay, okay, okay. Thank you.

Its okay.

Lin Yi looked at Liang Ruoxu. Ill deal with the matter at hand. You can go back first.

Lets go together. I have nothing to do tonight anyway.

That works too.

Lin Yi took out his phone and called the head of pediatrics.

Brother w.a.n.g, whos on duty in your pediatrics department tonight?

Im on duty. I just came back from a ward round.

I met a patient at the door. The situation is a little urgent. Ill bring them to you.

Come on, Im in the office.

After hanging up, Lin Yi brought the couple and Liang Ruoxu to inpatient department three and knocked on the office door.

In the office sat a middle-aged man in his forties. His hair was greasy and he had a big belly. He looked like a typical greasy middle-aged man.

The mans name was w.a.n.g Dawei, and he was the director of the pediatrics department.

A few days ago, Lin Yi was the one who operated on his fathers heart stent, so the two of them were very close.

Seeing Lin Yi bring people in, w.a.n.g Dawei b.u.t.toned his white coat.

What are the babys symptoms?

Hes two months old, but his limbs are too weak to move.

Hearing Lin Yis simple description, w.a.n.g Daweis expression changed, as if he had realized something.

Take the child to the cot. Ill examine him.

The childs mother placed the child on the small bed. Although he kept crying, she could not care about anything else now.

A few minutes later, w.a.n.g Dawei did a preliminary checkup and found that the situation was exactly as Lin Yi had said.

Director Lin, wait here for a while. Ill arrange a basic checkup for the child to see whats going on.

Okay.

w.a.n.g Dawei walked out of the office with the childs parents.

Lin Yi sat on the sofa with a dark expression. Unconsciously, he picked up the cigarette on the desk and silently lit one.

Liang Ruoxu looked surprised. This was the first time she had seen Lin Yi smoke.

Is the baby not well?

He hasnt been officially diagnosed, but I think we know what it is. Its probably SMA, also known as spinal muscular atrophy.
