âItâs daddyâs fault for making you sick; I didnât take good care of you.
-Actually, I always wanted to be a good kid⦠I really didnât mean to vomit; I just couldnât describe that awful feeling.â
-Iâve always wanted to be a good kid, and I know that if Tang Dayeâs daughter has a mental illness, it would disgrace you. But I canât control it, Iâm sorry, n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Dadâ¦â
Tang Daye never imagined the inner struggle of his daughter, so he hugged her and patted her, âItâs okay, itâs okay. Weâll go see a doctor together, and Daddy will definitely cure you.â
âAdmitting the illness, facing the illness, and willing to accompany is the best foundation for successful treatment. Congratulations, you both can now proceed to the next phase of treatment.â
Accompanied by a calm professional voice, Lily and Tang Daye looked to the side to see Xiao Qian standing at their booth, extending her hand to Tang Daye.
-Let me formally introduce myself; I am Psychologist Chen Xiaoqian. Are you willing to let me officially treat your daughter?â
-Youâve arranged all this in advance?â asked Tang Daye, with Lily still crying in
his arms.
-Yes, anorexia nervosa treatment must be accompanied by a parent. Are you
both ready?â
Lily and Tang Daye exchanged a glance. Lily nodded, and Tang Daye could only extend his hand.
âPlease take care of my daughter, Dr. Chen.â
âTreatments will be held once a week, and both of you must attend. When not undergoing treatment, Director Tang must accompany Shuixian for her meals and not let her eat alone. Iâll prescribe appropriate medications to assist in her treatment, which may take some time. When her condition improves, we will reduce treatment to once a month until sheâs fully recovered. Oh right, my consultation fee is 10,000 yuan per hour.â
Xiao Qian raised her eyebrow at Lily, who broke into a smile.
âYouâre even more cunning than my dad.â
âNo, I am a doctor, not a businessman.â
âCan we get a discount?â
-Are you sure you want a discount? Iâm a very principled doctor. My patients are either filthy rich or my friends. Which are you?â Xiao Qian asked cunningly.
Lily realized that Xiao Qian was setting a trap for her.
âFriends, then.â But she was willing to jump into this trap.
âAlright, then no need for any fees. Weâre friends, after all,â Xiao Qian winked, and Lily hugged her.
âThank you, Xiao Qian.â
Xiao Qian patted her.
In a low voice, Lily whispered in Xiao Qians ear, âIll text you whenever my dadâs investing or buying stocks.â
Great, Xiao Qian smiled even brighter, satisfied as she patted Lilyâs back.
âFriends, weâre all friends. Nice doing business with you. You know my
number.â
This was much more valuable than any consultation fee. Friends, after all, have priceless access to information resources.
Tang Daye shook his head, â1 see it now; youâve roped my daughter into this.â Xiao Qian looked up at him, âIt seems you still owe me 80.5 yuan, Old Tang.â
âHaha, I see my mistake, youâve roped both of us in.â
But, at least they were in good hands.
Not far away, Eldest Sister-in-law was wiping away her tears in the car. The scene was so touching that it moved her to tears.
Turning her head, she saw Eldest Brother pounding his chest.
The three kids in the back seat had fallen asleep, exhausted from playing.
âBig Fox, what are you doing?â
âThank heavens! My deal and my money! Xiao Qian did a great job!â Realizing his wifeâs disdainful gaze, Eldest Brother cleared his throat and returned to his normal state.
âOf course, money is not more important than family. I promised Xiao Qian Iâd accompany you for a week. Tell me, madam, where do you want to go on vacation? Iâm all ears.â
âShameless! Cunning as a fox!â
Xiao Qianâs treatment was very effective.
Due to their excellent initial foundation, Lily only needed two psychotherapy sessions before she could eat a small amount of food and vomited less frequently.
From vomiting once a day to feeling nauseous once every three days, it only took a week for Lily to stop vomiting altogether.
Eldest Brother successfuUy closed his deal while Jia Xiufang started looking for a team to prepare for the demolition and recycling of construction materials after the holidays. Everyone was busy and excited in their roles.
However, Xiao Qian was becoming more and more suffocated and irritable. One reason was that her period was approaching, which always made her irritable.
Another reason was that there had been no news from Yu Minglang. To make matters worse, Xiao Qian caught a bad cold just as the treatment was starting to take effect.
She had been receiving intravenous infusions for three days but still felt groggy. When Lily came to find Xiao Qian, she was shocked to see a vigorous Xiao Qian turned into a listless panda.
-My dear doctor, what happened to you these three days since we last met? Have you also developed anorexia?â Lily pinched Xiao Qianâs thin face. With a cold, Xiao Qian had no appetite or energy, but she continued to treat Lilyâs anorexia diligently while struggling with her own sleep-deprived brain. Xiao Qian took out a tissue and forcefully blew her nose, which astonished Lily.
âSo, even you have your crude moments!
Lily had thought that Xiao Qian would always remain calm and elegant, possessing the mental strength to remain unfazed even in the face of great difficulties. Even when facing Old Tang, a wealthy tycoon, she was fearless and assertive. Now, Xiao Qian calls him âOld Tangâ without any fear. Old Tang doesnât dare to get angry.
With a nasal voice, Xiao Qian said, âIâm not a deity. Try to blow your nose elegantly for me.â
She had a peculiar cold, where it produced an excessive amount of mucus just before she got better. Whenever she went through a roll of tissue, her cold would be almost over.
Naughty Chen Zilong gave Xiao Qian a nickname these days â âLittle Snot Can,â only to be chased under the bed by Xiao Qian with a feather duster.
âAlas, poor sweetheart, let me take you out for dinner?
âNo way! I wonât go. As a patient recovering from anorexia, you definitely have an ulterior motive for inviting me!â Xiao Qian was still sharp-witted, despite her cold.
-Donât be like that; weâre friends, after all. Come with me!â Lily clung to Xiao Qianâs hand.
Xiao Qian slapped her hand away, âWho are you to call me a friend? I am a doctor, and as a patient, our next therapy session is not yet due. Donât get too close to me; it might affect your treatment. Iâm going back to bed; my head feels so dizzy.â
Seeing she couldnât fool Xiao Qian, Lily hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, âXiao Qian, you have to help me. You are the only friend I have! How can I go by myself? Please just accompany me!â
âLily Tang, do you know what a saying from the north is? âItâs hard for one to learn good, but easy to learn bad,â and it perfectly describes you! Look at when I first met you; you were such a fresh-faced and righteous successor of Socialism.. But in just a few days, youâre trying to drag a sick person like me to a blind date? Whereâs your conscience, whereâs your integrity?â
