“Really?” There were stars in Jing Qian’s eyes.
“En.” Ling Qianchen nodded his head with pride.
“You’re really smart. What would you like to be when you grow up?”
“I want to be a doctor.”
When Ling Qianchen saw Jing Qian raise her eyebrows, he said, “I have been sick since I was young, and it has been a burden to mummy. I want to be like a smart doctor like you, pretty sister, so that we wouldn’t have to beg anyone else for help if mummy gets sick in the future.”
Although Ling Siqi had asked him the same question previously, this was the first time that her son has answered in this manner, and she was extremely touched to hear his response.
Jing Qian gently patted Ling Qianchen’s head and said, “You’re so cute. Your mum would never think of you as a burden. I feel extremely blessed with you just by my side. Xiao Chen, you are a child that brings happiness to others around you.”
Ling Siqi never thought that the infamous Sister Qian could say something so sweet to her son and then tears rolled down her cheeks.
Ling Qianchen noticed and quickly grabbed tissues for his mother.
Ling Siqi bent down and allowed him to wipe the tears off her cheeks.
When Ling Qianchen was done with helping his mother clean, he reached out to his mother with his chubby little hands and hugged his mother who was much taller than him as he said, “Don’t cry, mummy. Pretty sister is going to cure me, and I will recover from it!”
Jing Qian nodded her head as well. “That’s right. Xiao Chen, didn’t you say that you want to be a doctor? If you don’t mind, you can come over to my surgical procedures to observe and learn. You would definitely be an amazing doctor when you grow up by observing me since you’re young.”
Huh?!
Ling Siqi was completely caught off guard with what Jing Qian just said. She was speechless.
“Of course! Yes! I want to watch those procedures, and I will definitely become an amazing doctor when I grow up!”
“Alright, but before becoming one, you would first need a healthy body. Since we would have to stand for 10 hours sometimes during surgery while using our hands the entire time. It takes a lot of physical strength to do so. So, before you become an amazing doctor, I would have to treat you first!”
Ling Qianchen, who was nervous about undergoing a major surgery previously, nodded his head after hearing what Jing Qian said.
“En. I’ll listen to whatever you say, pretty sister.”
Jing Qian gently touched his handsome face and told him, “You should call me Auntie instead!”
“But you’re a pretty sister. Why should I call you Auntie instead?” The little fella didn’t want to give in to it.
Jing Qian scratched her head. It was true that her sister-in-law hadn’t married her brother yet. This little boy would definitely change it later on, which was why she said, “Fine. Whatever you like.”
After speaking to the little boy, she walked over to the couch and passed a few reports to Ling Siqi before saying, “Xiao Chen’s condition is an inherited condition, and I have seen a similar case before this.”
This sentence caused Ling Siqi’s expression to change completely.
“An inherited condition…”
Jing Qian even met the other party.
Does this mean that…..
She has met Xiao Chen’s father???
However, Jing Qian did not continue on the topic regarding Xiao Chen’s father. Instead, she said, “This sort of condition will become worse as he grows older. The nerves that are affected will increase, as well as the frequency of his episodes. It should be so frequent for Xiao Chen to have ten episodes in a year when he is still so young. Although these episodes aren’t severe, they will still greatly affect his daily living.”
