Xiaoli hurriedly squeezed next to Bai Xiao, stuffing the tea cup and chocolate into Bai Xiao’s hands. Having witnessed how Bai Xiao operated last time, she had been close to Bai Xiao lately and obviously knew that Bai Xiao’s acupuncture required the use of Qigong True Qi to activate, and after depleting the True Qi, her limbs became icy cold, and she shivered from the cold.
Bai Xiao gratefully took the tea cup and gulped down the hot water, feeling as if her mouth and tongue, stiff from the cold, had come back to life.
Dean Zhang stood beside Bai Xiao and watched as Bai Xiao clumsily tried to tear open the chocolate wrapper. He reached out, took the chocolate, and swiftly tore off the wrapper, then placed the chocolate back in Bai Xiao’s hands.
“Thank you, Dean Zhang!”
“Eat it quickly, or else you should go back to your consulting room, turn on the air conditioner, and close the door.” Finally, Dean Zhang realized that the reason she had wanted this consulting room was for that feature.
Bai Xiao stuffed the chocolate into her mouth, and only then remembered that she indeed had an air conditioner in her consulting room.
She stood up, feeling stiffness in her legs.
However, clearly she did not wait before she walked.
A mother holding her child suddenly rushed up to Bai Xiao and knelt down in front of her.
The incident came suddenly; no one had anticipated it.
“Benefactor, oh benefactor, you saved my child, and from now on, you are a great benefactor to our family. I offer my kowtows to you, and when this child grows up, he will definitely be filial to you,” the woman spoke jumbled words, but her sincere intentions were clear.
Bai Xiao hurriedly tried to help her up, but her body was so stiff that even bending over felt difficult.
She urgently signaled to Xiaoli, shouting, “Quick, help her up!”
Dean Zhang and Xiaoli together barely managed to help the woman up.
“Sister, this is what we doctors are supposed to do. Please don’t say such things now, but rather have the doctors check on the child immediately. Whatever injections or medicine the child needs, let them administer. Let’s not delay any further,” Bai Xiao spoke the truth.
Having barely saved a life, she hoped earnestly that the child would live well.
The woman quickly handed her child over to the doctors, who took the child towards the emergency room. Although the child had recuperated somewhat, his body was still weak, and with underlying asthma, he needed further observation and treatment in the hospital.
The woman followed her child, then suddenly turned back to ask, “Doctor, what’s your name? We’ve got to let our child know the name of his lifesaver.”
Bai Xiao smiled, “Just call me Doctor Xiao.”
“Thank you, thank you so much!” the woman thanked her repeatedly as she left.
Only then did Bai Xiao feel a terrible chill over her body, beginning to shiver. She had already been limiting her use of her special ability, only treating the child partially to stabilize him. However, because of her special ability, her energy was still too weak, and such control actually placed a greater demand on herself. Thus, despite the child not being completely lively and bouncing around, she had expended even more of her special ability.
Upon seeing this, Dean Zhang promptly shouted, “Quick, help Bai Xiao to her consulting room, turn on the air conditioner, and close the doors and windows.”
Xiaoli, of course, stepped forward. Just now, this intern had pushed past others, risking being sent back to her original hospital, in order to support Bai Xiao.
Zhang Duo glanced at Bai Xiao, “Are you alright?” This young lady does not seem very robust.
Bai Xiao shook her head, “I’m fine. Please go check on that woman and the child.” She didn’t ask Zhang Duo what he was doing there; she was confident that she had already cured Zhang Duo’s lumbar problem—any disease not immediately apparent to the eye, she would heal for them.
Zhang Duo nodded. “I originally came to present you with a banner of honor, but it seems today is not appropriate. You should rest first, I’ll go check on the child, and in a couple of days, I will personally bring my comrades to present the banner.” This was indeed the truth.
Ever since Zhang Duo’s back healed last time, he had had no relapses up until now. From the bottom of his heart, he truly believed that Bai Xiao’s medical skills were absolutely trustworthy. He had specially made a banner inscribed with “Miraculous Hands Revitalize.” But now, he felt that these four words were not enough to express their gratitude.
Saving their family members, their children, elicited even greater gratitude than curing his back.
Xiaoli helped Bai Xiao to her clinic, and the others had already dispersed.
Wrapped in a blanket from the rest room, Xiaoli had closed all the doors and windows and turned on the heating. The warm air blew in, and soon the room temperature reached thirty-five degrees, causing Xiaoli to start sweating from her head.
Bai Xiao held a large tea mug, sipping hot water while nibbling on chocolate.
“Gosh, I really can’t take it anymore, I’m going to overheat, I need to get out, I need to get out! You stay here by yourself. I’ll close the door for you.” Xiaoli could no longer bear it, she opened the door and walked out, only to bump into someone right in front of her.
Promptly she closed the door behind her.
“Who are you looking for?” Xiaoli asked, noticing that the person was still poised to knock.
The person was dressed neatly, clearly someone of significance.
“I’m looking for Bai Xiao!” An Zhiyuan said to this youthful-looking doctor.
He had recently transferred to this provincial capital. He had inquired at the Aviation University, and found out that there was no Bai Xiao there. Eventually, after a great deal of effort, he learned from the university’s records that Bai Xiao’s files had been transferred to The Ninth Hospital for work-related reasons.
Initially, Bai Xiao had given him an address, but it had proved inadequate, leading to a brief disconnection between them.
If it weren’t for some connections An Zhiyuan still had in this area to help inquire about her situation, finding Bai Xiao would have been truly difficult.
He was off today and had specifically come to see Bai Xiao.
He had just figured out the route and found this place; the Traditional Chinese Medicine room indeed suited Bai Xiao, her exquisite acupuncture skills would be wasted if not practiced in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
He was just about to knock when someone came out.
“Are you here to see a doctor? Unfortunately, that won’t be possible today, Doctor Bai is occupied.” Xiaoli thought the visitor had come to seek treatment from Bai Xiao.
She believed that after Bai Xiao’s earth-shattering actions today, if no one sought her medical advice afterward, it would truly be inconceivable.
Bai Xiao had bravely confronted everyone today just to adhere to her medical ethics and skills, and in Xiaoli’s eyes, she was nothing short of a hero.
A proper doctor would be just like that.
Medical skills could be acquired gradually, but a person’s medical ethics represented their true heart.
If one doesn’t abandon their medical principles due to challenging circumstances, such individuals, with proficient medical skills, are truly great doctors.
If such people don’t receive others’ respect, do they even deserve to be called human?
