Chapter 1364: Recovery
"Mr. Chen, thank you for saving Lingling! She's much better now, her face has regained some color!" Jiang Miaoyan's voice was extremely excited.
Originally, she had some doubts about Chen Yang's treatment methods.
But after the herbal bath, seeing that Lingling had miraculously recovered some color gave her immense confidence!
It also gave her great hope!
Lingling finally has a chance of being saved.
"Lingling, quickly thank this kind man for saving your life." After expressing her gratitude excitedly, Jiang Miaoyan immediately urged Lingling to show her appreciation.
Though Lingling was only about six or seven, her tragic experiences made her very sensible.
"Thank you, sir... thank you for saving Lingling." Lingling's voice was a little choked up, and Chen Yang could tell through her voice that the little girl had certainly regained her confidence and was sincerely grateful to him.
"What are you doing, this is just temporary care for the body, it hasn't been completely cured yet. It's not too late to thank me after it's cured." Chen Yang quickly went up to assist the two sisters after a brief pause.
Chen Yang was about the same age as Jiang Miaoyan. When they suddenly knelt, it made him quite embarrassed.
"Mr. Chen, thank you so much. I was almost about to give up on Lingling's illness. If it weren't for meeting you, I really wouldn't know what to do next." Jiang Miaoyan's eyes were red, her words sincere.
Even though she didn't say much, Chen Yang could still hear some of her despair and helplessness from her tone.
It was precisely because of these reasons that Chen Yang took the initiative to treat Lingling.
After all, a doctor should have a benevolent heart.
"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. We'll discuss everything once she's cured." Chen Yang interrupted her again, then smiled as he picked Lingling up, gently asking, "Are you hungry?"
The little girl didn't answer Chen Yang directly. Instead, she turned to look at Jiang Miaoyan, as if seeking her opinion.
After getting no response for a while, she finally answered according to her own desire.
"Hungry..."
Chen Yang smiled slightly, "Well, it's perfect timing, I made dinner. Let's eat together."
"Ah? How can we impose... Mr. Chen, let me treat you to a meal!" Jiang Miaoyan hurriedly said upon hearing this.
Jiang Miaoyan was already extremely grateful that Chen Yang agreed to treat Lingling.
How could she feel comfortable getting a free meal?
Although she didn't have much money, she understood basic etiquette, so she thought of taking Chen Yang out for a meal.
It's a kind gesture, isn't it?
Chen Yang naturally understood what Jiang Miaoyan meant.
If she had money, Chen Yang certainly wouldn't refuse.
But Chen Yang knew she was penniless, so how could he agree?
"Maybe next time, I've already prepared the meal for today, let's just have something simple for now." Chen Yang said casually and then directly carried Lingling into the inner room.
Leaving Jiang Miaoyan standing alone in the clinic.
At this moment, Jiang Miaoyan was deeply moved.
These years, she and her sister relied on each other and sought medical help everywhere.
Naturally, they had seen many cold faces and endured much embarrassment.
Pushed to a dead end, she even considered sacrificing her own body.
In such desperate circumstances, how could she not be moved meeting Chen Yang? How could she not be grateful?
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
But she soon wiped them away, controlled her emotions, and followed into the inner room.
Since she wasn't too familiar with Chen Yang, she and Lingling were a bit restrained while eating.
But as the conversation opened up, it became less tense between them.
"Where are you from, do you have any relatives at home, or a place to stay?" Chen Yang asked these questions casually while eating.
Chen Yang knew a little about Jiang Miaoyan's situation.
They chatted last time.
However, his knowledge was not comprehensive.
Now that Jiang Miaoyan came to seek treatment, Chen Yang naturally needed to ask for more details.
And mentioning family matters naturally touched on Jiang Miaoyan and Lingling's heartaches.
"My home is in the neighboring city, we have relatives, but after my sister fell ill, we lost touch with them, and for now... we don't have a place to stay." Jiang Miaoyan's expression was somber, gently stroking Lingling beside her.
Even though Lingling was small, she had experienced many things following Jiang Miaoyan, and understood a lot.
Their moods were very low, with Lingling silently lowering her head without speaking.
Although Chen Yang hadn't personally witnessed or felt their cold and warm experiences, he could still imagine them through Jiang Miaoyan's descriptions.
When they said they lost touch, they basically meant they almost severed all connections.
"Do you have any plans going forward?" Chen Yang paused for a moment and then asked.
"Plan to cure my sister's illness first, then find a city to work and live well." Jiang Miaoyan said.
Chen Yang nodded slightly after hearing this, without saying anything further.
When they were almost finished with their meal, Chen Yang finally said, "Well, during the treatment period, you can stay at my place temporarily. I happen to have a spare room, and it will make it easier to treat Lingling."
Originally, Jiang Miaoyan didn't want to bother him, but after thinking it through, it seemed like the only option.
If she went out to find a place, she would stay in the town anyway.
It'd be somewhat inconvenient to come back and forth for treatment, staying at Chen Yang's was indeed the most suitable.
"Mr. Chen, let me pay you for the room. I've already very grateful that you're not charging for my sister's treatment, I insist on paying for the accommodation." Jiang Miaoyan said.
"Hmm... alright then, fifty dollars a day, pay when you leave." Chen Yang didn't really plan to charge her.
But seeing her insist, he had to agree.
"Alright! It's settled then." Jiang Miaoyan smiled when she saw Chen Yang agree.
"Okay, I'll help you tidy up, you can stay in the large room." Jiang Miaoyan and Lingling were two people, and the hospital bed was small.
So Chen Yang planned to tidy up his own room and temporarily give it up to them.
But hearing it was a big bed, Jiang Miaoyan quickly shook her head, "Mr. Chen, we can sleep on the hospital bed, we don't want to trouble you!"
Chen Yang paused, thought about it, and agreed.
"Alright then, you can stay one night for now. If it's cramped, I'll find you another place in the village tomorrow." Chen Yang thought it still wasn't convenient at home.
So he planned to let them stay the night and find another place for them in the village tomorrow.
After saying this, Chen Yang returned to his room and brought out a blanket, placing it on the hospital bed.
Upon returning after finishing this, Chen Yang found the dining table already cleaned up.
Jiang Miaoyan was nowhere to be seen, and only Lingling was still sitting by the table.
Chen Yang glanced towards the backyard and knew Jiang Miaoyan went to do the dishes.
"Lingling, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?" Chen Yang asked Lingling.
Lingling, being obedient, had familiarized herself with Chen Yang during dinner, so their conversation wasn't as constrained as before.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen." Lingling hopped off the stool and said.
Chen Yang smiled, rubbed her head, "I'm about the same age as your sister, just call me Brother Chen Yang from now on. It's awkward to call me boss."
Lingling could clearly feel the kindness from Chen Yang.
So she wasn't restrained and agreed with a smile, nodding her head.
