Lu Xue Zhen’s villa was not large, but the environment was lovely, with flowers, plants, and trees everywhere, creating a serene atmosphere.
Lee Fong supported Qin An’s hand as they strolled around the villa’s backyard garden, "Alright, don’t walk too long, otherwise your leg won’t be able to take it."
"I’m fine, I just want to recover the use of my leg quickly, so I won’t be a constant bother to Xuezhen."
Qin An wanted to walk some more, but was forcibly pulled by Lee Fong to sit down on a nearby garden bench, where she sighed and looked at Qin An, "Don’t overthink it, Xuezhen will take good care of you, and you shouldn’t be afraid of bothering her."
How could Lee Fong not understand what Qin An was thinking? Even though Qin An already considered Lu Xue Zhen as his goddaughter, he still feared being a nuisance to her.
If it were Qin Qin here today, Qin An wouldn’t have worried about these matters at all; in reality, he was always thinking about Qin Qin.
Unfortunately, fate is cruel, and the heavens are blind, to let Qin Qin...
I mustn’t think about this any longer!
Lee Fong collected herself as footsteps approached. She and Qin An looked forward and saw Lu Xue Zhen and a young girl in her early twenties walk over.
Seeing Qin An and Lee Fong seated by the garden bench, Lu Xue Zhen hurried over, "Uncle Qin, why have you come out?"
"The weather is nice, so I came out. Xuezhen, why are you back?"
Qin An smiled affectionately, inquiring after Lu Xue Zhen.
Lu Xue Zhen glanced at the girl beside her and said to Qin An, "This is the doctor I found for Uncle Qin. Qin Qin is very good at medicine, let her have a look at you."
Qin An and Lee Fong looked at Lu Xue Zhen in surprise, and Lu Xue Zhen knew what Qin An was thinking, so she explained.
Qin An laughed with a touch of disappointment. What was he thinking, to have conjured up thoughts of his daughter?
From the moment Qin Qin entered the villa and laid eyes on Qin An, her gaze hadn’t left him, and even upon seeing the cast on Qin An’s leg, her nose suddenly felt inexplicably sour.
Lee Fong watched Qin Qin, only to see her gaze fixed on Qin An with complexity, her eyes seemingly moist, "Dr. Qin, what’s wrong? Why are your eyes red?"
Qin Qin came back to her senses, touching the corner of her eye with her finger. What was wrong with her? Why did seeing Qin An make her so uncomfortable?
Hiding her emotions, Qin Qin said with a lifted smile.
Standing to the side, Lu Xue Zhen looked at Qin Qin’s slightly reddened eyes, a stir in her heart. Maybe even if Qin Qin didn’t remember her own father, her heart still remembered Qin An, otherwise she wouldn’t have reacted this way.
"Dr. Qin is indeed young, and she quite resembles our family’s Qin Qin."
Lee Fong remarked sentimentally, the image of Qin Qin springing to mind when she saw the doctor—those eyes and figure really resembled her.
Qin An’s gaze also turned to Qin Qin, his expression faintly dazed and his eyes beginning to redden. Fearing that others might see, he turned his body away.
"Our family’s Qin Qin? You guys..."
"Uncle Qin is Qin Qin’s father, and this lady is Aunt Lee, Uncle Qin’s wife."
Lu Xue Zhen softly explained on the side. Qin Qin’s gaze once again fell on Qin An, her heart aching a bit. Could it be that she was really related to Qin Qin?
"Qin Qin, Uncle Qin had a fall and injured his leg the other day, could you take a look at him?"
Qin Qin nodded, and Lee Fong supported Qin An back toward the villa. As Qin Qin watched Qin An’s difficulty in walking, there was a moment she wanted to step forward to support him, but luckily, her rationality kept her steps in check.
The four of them walked toward the villa, with Qin An leaning against the bed while Qin Qin examined his leg.
After a while, she withdrew her hand, "Luckily, it’s just a fracture and ligament damage."
Qin Qin looked at Qin An’s injury, inexplicably relieved, and took out some medicine to hand to Lee Fong. She then wrote a prescription and gave it to Lee Fong.
Lee Fong, holding the medicine bottle and looking at the handwriting on the prescription, was shocked, rooted to the spot.
She wanted to speak up, but Lu Xue Zhen suddenly shook her head at her. The words Lee Fong had in mind were choked back, her grip tightening on the medicine bottle as her gaze locked on Qin Qin. That face might have been unfamiliar, but it felt so strange, like seeing Qin Qin herself, her way of treating injuries, and the familiarity of her silhouette, as well as those eyes.
Lu Xue Zhen escorted Qin Qin to the outside. Qin Qin told her there was no need to see her off since Heavenly Medicine Clinic wasn’t far, and that she should go back and look after Qin An.
After some thought, Lu Xue Zhen saw Qin Qin off to a taxi, and then re-entered the villa.
As soon as she stepped back into the villa, Lee Fong approached her impatiently, still holding the prescription and medicine bottle given by Qin Qin.
"Xuezhen, I want to ask you..."
Lu Xue Zhen grabbed Lee Fong’s hand, "Aunt Lee, don’t get worked up, let me explain slowly."
