Chapter 17

After buying everything, Sui Jingxing tied the bicycle and fan together in the trunk.

“Lu Anning, Dad will teach you how to ride a bike tomorrow.”

“Does she need you to teach her? Don’t you know that she hasn’t fully recovered yet?”

“What if the wind blows and I catch a cold while riding my bike?”

Mother Lu glared at Father Lu unhappily.

Just when Lu Anning and Jing Xing needed to spend time getting along with each other, this old man always wanted to butt in.

“Um… I don’t need to take medicine anymore. The same applies to Jingxing Sect.”

Lu’s father’s fantasy of teaching his daughter to ride a bike was shattered by his wife’s rising anger.

Alas, it’s a pity that I should have taught Lu Anning when she was young.

“Dad, when we get home, you can take me around on your bike.”

Unable to bear seeing Father Lu disappointed, she quickly wrote down her thoughts on paper for him to see.

“Okay, Dad will take you around the family compound on his bike then.”

Mr. Lu’s regret just now disappeared in an instant. His daughter is so thoughtful.

At half past three, they returned to Dr. Fan’s office on time. He was already waiting inside.

“Come with me, the teacher is back.”

Fan Zhengqing led them to the innermost office and knocked on the door. A deep voice, “Come in,” came from inside.

When I opened the door, an old doctor with a serious expression was sitting inside.

“Teacher, this little girl is the one who is seeing the doctor.”

“Only the patient came in, and the others are waiting outside the door.”

Hearing his words, Lu’s mother, who was about to follow in, paused.

She is a doctor herself and knows that some doctors do not like to interact with patients’ families, and she understands this.

“Lu Anning, go in by yourself. Don’t be afraid, okay?”

“Um.”

She sat down in front of the old doctor and stretched out her hand for him to feel her pulse.

This time, the old doctor took the patient’s pulse a little longer than Doctor Fan did in the morning. He had no expression on his face during the process and frowned after he moved his hand away.

“Are you of age?”

“Um.”

The doctor frowned even more tightly.

“I’ll write a few words, and you read them to me first.”

She did not do so immediately, but took up a pen and wrote on a piece of paper: “I want the door to be closed.”

Feng Changyue was stunned for a moment, then realized her intention.

“Zhengqing, go and close the door.”

Lu Anning didn’t want her parents to hear her struggling to speak, as her mother would definitely be very sad and blame herself if she heard it.

After making sure the door was closed, Lu Anning began to slowly read the words on the paper.

“Piduo, Qifan, Xiuji…”

There were seven words in total, and she only pronounced two or three words correctly, and that was because she deliberately slowed down her pace.

Not only were the words not pronounced correctly, but breathing difficulties also occurred.

Lu Anning clenched her hands into fists under the table, and her eyes unconsciously turned slightly red.

She felt very uncomfortable, but she was not defeated.

When she had the disease before, the pain was at least a hundred times more severe than this. Such a small difficulty would definitely not defeat Lu Anning!

Looking at her, Feng Changyue just kept frowning, while Fan Zhengqing beside him was actually worried for her.

Life is so unpredictable and it’s not easy for the little girl.

After Lu Anning adjusted her state, Feng Changyue said, “Should I tell you directly or tell your parents?”

Lu Anning pointed at himself.

“I’m sorry for your situation. You’ve missed the best period for treatment.”

“If the child is four to six years old, with the combination of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, the child’s recovery should be about 80% of that of an average person.”

Although her pronunciation is still somewhat inaccurate, as long as she speaks slowly and slows down, she shouldn’t have any problems communicating normally with others.

“At your current age, I can only make you slightly better than before, but it’s only a slight improvement. The recovery degree is at most 50%, or even only 30%.”

“In addition to treatment, you also need to constantly train your voice and practice corrections. This will be a long and painful process.”

“You feel it too. Just a few extra words can make it hard for you to breathe. If it’s a long sentence, it will be even more painful.”

Given her condition, it would be best if she could have surgery.

Feng Changyue said it very directly. Judging from his first impression of the girl in front of him, she should have a strong psychological endurance. It is better for her to speak directly than to be disappointed later.

She nodded to show that she understood.

“Would you choose treatment or?”

She wrote the word “treatment” on the paper.

Not to mention recovering to 50%, even if it was only 10%, she would be willing to try.

Before the original owner died, she had always longed to be able to speak normally. As a person who could communicate normally before, she wanted to speak even more!

After telling her some precautions for the treatment, Lu Anning said there was no problem. Yue Changqing then let Lu’s mother and others in.

“Doctor, how is my daughter?”

“Not very good.”

“Is there no way?”

“The most optimistic scenario is that it will recover to 50%, but it could also be 30%.”

“Great! We’ll cure it! We’ll cure it!”

This was the first time that Lu’s mother had heard good news since she took Lu Anning to the hospital. In the past, doctors would simply shake their heads and tell them that they were powerless.

As long as there is a possibility of recovery, no matter how small, we must try. The worst case scenario is that we will still be unable to speak.

They are already in the worst situation, do they still care so much?

“I’ll prescribe a dose for you. After you finish taking the one Dr. Fan prescribed this morning, you can start taking this one. After you finish, come over for acupuncture treatment.”

“Okay, no problem, thank you doctor.”

Lu’s father and mother were extremely happy about the news, and they wanted to grab Feng Changyue’s hand to thank him.

“If you have nothing else to do, go get some medicine.”

After coming out of Doctor Feng’s office, Lu’s mother held Lu Anning’s hand tightly without letting go.

After eighteen years, they finally got the first good news.
