527 The Joy of Surprise (1/2)
”Is there something urgent?” Wang Yao's second aunt asked.
”I need to see a patient,” Wang Yao said. ”Where is my uncle?”
”He won't be coming at noon. He will just eat at work,” his aunt said. ”You don't have bring things every time. How are your parents doing?”
”They are good,” Wang Yao said. ”My grandmother and grandfather are also doing good. You don't have to worry.”
”Did you have lunch?” his aunt asked.
”Yes.” Wang Yao actually had not eaten, but he did not want to trouble his aunt. Besides, it was already too late to prepare a luncheon.
”When will you go back?” his aunt asked.
”Tomorrow,” Wang Yao replied.
”You are in a hurry,” his aunt said. ”There is a big travel rush because of the Spring Festival, so it is hard to buy a ticket. Will you take a plane?”
”I think so.” Wang Yao did not have to worry about how to go return home.
He chatted with the his second aunt for a while and then checked her over. Her body was not bad. Wang Yao then left.
”Let's find a place to have a meal,” he said to the driver.
The driver took Wang Yao to a five-star hotel. ”Here?” Wang Yao was shocked.
”You don't like it?” the driver hurriedly asked. It was a very high-end place, and it was nearby.
”We don't have to eat in such a fancy place,” Wang Yao said. ”Plus, it is a bit noisy. What about going to some old restaurants?”
The driver immediately drove Wang Yao to an old shop in an alley. The place looked a little devious, but there were many people who came there to eat.
”Here is Xiao Wu. What would you like to eat?” the waiter asked.
”Hey, Lin, how are you?” It seemed that this driver often ate there.
”The same as usual,” the waiter replied. ”Are you ready to order?
”No, we will look at the menu,” the driver said. He then handed the menu to Wang Yao.
”You don't have to be so polite,” Wang Yao said. ”I am not familiar with it here. You can order some dishes, as long as it is enough for the two of us to eat.”
”OK.” The driver ordered six dishes, plus two soups.
”That is so much,” Wang Yao said. ”We can't eat all of that.”
”The amount of each dish is only a little,” the driver said.
After a while, all the dishes were brought out. They were very delicate. The amount was not small.
”Have a taste. Do you like it?” the driver asked.
”Yes, it's very good.” Wang Yao smiled.
”As long as you are satisfied,” the driver said.
While Wang Yao was out eating, two guests visited the Wu family. It was Dr. Chen and Dr. Li, two famous and professional Chinese doctors.
”Has he taken some medicine?” Dr. Chen asked.
”Yes,” Dr. Li replied.
”Is there any left?” Dr. Chen asked.
”There is one dose left,” Dr. Li said.
”There is no need to doubt the medicines anymore,” Dr. Chen said with a smile.
”What did you discover by the analysis last time?” Dr. Li asked.
”Last time I failed, but I can try it again this time,” Dr. Chen said.
”Then, you should try again,” Dr. Li said.
Although the two kept bantering back and forth, the purpose for their visit was clear. They had come to see the elderly man, who was lying on bed sleeping from the treatment.
Dr. Chen checked old Mr. Wu first. ”Oh, I admire him.” He sighed after feeling the man's pulse.
He then turned to Dr. Li. ”It's strange and amazing!” His eyes were full of surprises
After getting up and checking the old man, Dr. Li was also shocked. ”How is this possible?”
”Let's go out to talk about it,” said Wu Tongrong, the eldest son. After all, his father was still asleep. These days, it was rare for his father to rest, so they did not want to disturb him.
They came to the living room and sat down.
”What about my father's illness?” Wu Tongrong asked.
”He is better. At least, his temporarily safe,” Dr. Chen said.
”Yes,” Dr. Li concurred.
”Really?” Wu Tongrong was surprised but happy. This was the best news he had heard in a long time.
”Of course it is true. Is it possible for both of us to lie to you in this matter?” Dr. Chen asked.
”However, although he is getting better, it does not reverse the fundamentals, which means it will continue to deteriorate,” Dr. Li said.
”If there is continued medication, is there any possibility of healing?” Wu Tongrong asked.
”It depends on the effects of the treatment,” Dr. Li said. ”The two of us have discussed it. I feel that if he continues to use the medicine, there is a possibility of recovery. The question is, will he continue to provide this medicine for you?”
