Chapter 595 Awakening
Li Jiao immediately perked up and realized what she had done wrong.
Full of remorse, she apologized to Bai Xiao.
"Doctor Bai, I’m truly sorry about earlier. I don’t know what’s been wrong with me these past two days. I was like possessed, just wanting to die, feeling like I was a burden to them, father and daughter. If it hadn’t been for your words just now, like a smack to wake me up, who knows what mess I would have made of this household.
Poor old Zhang and the child have already been worn out because of my illness, and now they have to indulge and pamper me because of my actions. I was ungrateful." After all, Li Jiao was an adult with a certain level of education and could obviously understand the role Bai Xiao had played once she snapped out of it.
"It’s good that you understand. Actually, life is hard for everyone. You have it tough because you’re sick and have to endure, but it’s also hard for the father and daughter. It’s precisely because each person is considerate and makes allowances for the others that led to your outburst today.
Let’s not talk about anything else; as long as you take care of yourself, Director Zhang and the child will also have some peace of mind. I see that your illness should have a solution. If you trust me, find some time, and I’ll come back to give you a few acupuncture sessions. Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture are profound. Our family has passed down this knowledge for generations. I’ve cured someone who was bedridden for over a decade. Unless something unexpected happens, you should be able to recover too.
It’s just quite painful, and you have to persevere." Bai Xiao looked at Li Jiao, thinking of helping Zhang Han.
This child really was too sensible, having to run back and forth several times a day from school to check on her own mother. It’s lucky that the school was close, just a short run away, or else the child would have suffered even more. They say a long illness wears out filial piety, but this child has taken care of her mother for so long already.
I’m a doctor! When I see patients like this, I should reach out and help. It might be a simple effort for me, but for a family, it could mean a world of change.
