The Doctor Is Here
Ming Liuyi quickly adjusted her position, touching only her forehead to his palm. She then stretched her hands behind her. At some point, she could not help letting her attention wander to the place where their skin touched.
Their warmth pressed against each other. Ming Liuyi felt that her body temperature was higher than Yao Zizhou’s, and it made her forehead feel a little cold. His large hands were long and slender, and his palms were dry and comfortable.
Ming Liuyi could not help thinking that at least this vegetable was of some use.
The next morning, Yao Gui brought Miao Ruiming to see Yao Zizhou. This was the first time Yao Gui had come to the villa since he sent Yao Zizhou here to recuperate.
As soon as he entered, he thought that the place seemed different. Yao Gui’s brows furrowed slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Yao Ziyang say, “President Yao would like some privacy. You may all leave first.”
After the bodyguards left, Yao Gui felt a little better. However, he could not help but look at Yao Ziyang with an unreadable expression.
Ming Liuyi heard the voice and quickly went downstairs to greet them, but they had all welcomed themselves into the villa without waiting for her. When she arrived at the door, Yao Gui’s expression changed again.
It had only been a few weeks since they last met, but Ming Liuyi seemed to have become a completely different person. Her complexion exuded a healthy glow. This made Yao Gui’s heart sink. If Ming Liuyi’s complexion looked this radiant, then clearly she has not been taking proper care of Yao Zizhou. He had also heard terrible rumors about her recently. Yao Gui ignored Ming Liuyi and went straight upstairs.
However, when Yao Gui saw Yao Zizhou, he found that his son was in a much better state than before. His skin was flawless, and there was even a smile on his face, like someone who had just entered a sweet dream.
In an instant, Yao Gui’s prejudice against Ming Liuyi decreased. After all, if there was no matriarch of caliber here, the house would not have been able to handle everything with such detail.
Ming Liuyi did not have time to read Yao Gui’s mood because the first thing she noticed was the young man, Miao Ruiming, who came from the prominent family of Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. The man looked almost the same as his pictures. The only difference was that he seemed gentler than portrayed in the pictures, and his demeanor was not as cold either.
Ming Liuyi could not wait for Miao Ruiming to see Yao Zizhou, but because Yao Ziyang was also next to her, she lowered her eyes and quickly masked her emotions.
“Doctor Miao, can I trouble you to take a look at my son’s condition?”
Miao Ruiming took a step forward and looked at Ming Liuyi as if he was asking for her opinion.
Ming Liuyi felt his respect and instantly had a good impression of him. She quickly went up to Miao Ruiming and told him about Yao Zizhou’s situation.
Miao Ruiming listened and nodded in silent approval. Such details were definitely not recited casually, but obtained from meticulous care. He started to assess Yao Zizhou’s condition.
First, he noticed that Yao Zizhou’s face did not become loose from lack of muscle use, and he looked no different from an ordinary person.
Then, there was Yao Zizhou’s calves. They did not shrink as he had expected them to, probably because they were massaged every day.
If Miao Ruiming’s opinion of Ming Liuyi had simply been that she was thoughtful, he currently felt that she was actually quite conscientious.
After Miao Ruiming finished his examination, he muttered to himself, “I’m only sixty percent sure about Mr. Yao’s condition, but the next step might be a little complicated. He needs to apply a hot medicinal compress on his face and legs every day.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Ming Liuyi. “Actually, this is not the troublesome part. It’s just that someone needs to pay attention to his condition at all times. Because he is in a vegetative state, his senses are slow, and it’s easy for him to get scalded by the heat.”
Ming Liuyi nodded. “I understand.”
Miao Ruiming continued on, “I will also treat him with acupuncture. However, my schedule is fully booked, so I will list out the acupuncture points. When I am not around, you may seek other doctors to do the treatment. The treatment should be a two-week course. After that, if I still happen to be in A City, I will inform beforehand so that I may come over and have a look at his condition.”
Hearing that there was a sixty percent chance of success, Yao Gui was overjoyed. “Hurry up and bring me my checkbook.”
“We can talk about this after he wakes up,” Miao Ruiming said, waving his hand.
“Thank you so much, Doctor Miao!” Yao Gui said. “It’s still early, so I’m sure you haven’t had breakfast yet. Let’s have breakfast first, then you can perform the acupuncture on Zizhou.”
Miao Ruiming’s schedule was already full. He had squeezed in the time to come see Yao Zizhou, and he even sacrificed his sleep, so, naturally, he had not had his breakfast yet. “I would like to check on Mr. Yao’s breakfast first,” he said after some thought.
Ming Liuyi quickly motioned for Xiao Fan to bring Yao Zizhou’s breakfast.
Ming Liuyi took the Chinese yam congee that was prepared this morning, and got ready to feed it to Yao Zizhou under everyone’s gaze…
