The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 029: Ultimately, the Ties with the Ouyang Family Cannot Be Cut



"I'm Feifei Ouyang," the phone call connected and Feifei Ouyang introduced herself, "Huihui and you had another conflict?"

Upon hearing Feifei Ouyang mention this, Ziling Luo felt annoyed.

"Yes, we even fought. Feifei Ouyang, could you please tell your sister not to always come bothering me, okay?"

"I'm sorry!" Feifei Ouyang fell silent for a while before offering an apology, then added, "I've already scolded her."

"So she called you to complain about me," while Ziling Luo was angry, he was also a little guilty, not knowing whether Huihui Ouyang had mentioned that he had taken advantage of her several times.

Though it had been unintentional, he still felt embarrassed.

No matter how it's put, taking advantage of a girl is an immoral act.

In Ziling Luo's eyes, Feifei Ouyang, who had once been his "fiancée", held a completely different weight in his heart compared to the "crazy woman" Huihui Ouyang.

Without this relationship, based on the two months they had spent together as children, Feifei Ouyang's importance in his heart was far greater than Huihui Ouyang's.

Even though their engagement was broken, he didn't want Feifei Ouyang to look down on him, as it was a matter of male pride.

"She's still immature," Feifei Ouyang's tone remained as calm as the last time they met, "I hope you won't hold it against her."

Having Feifei Ouyang say this, the anger in Ziling Luo's heart vanished instantly, and with a bit of embarrassment, he said, "Actually, I also have a quick temper, I scolded her and even fought back when she started hitting people. Please convey to her on my behalf, I didn't mean it."

As he spoke these words, Ziling Luo had already stood up from the dinner table and moved away from those three roommates.

In fact, those three guys were already drunk, slurring their words, Ziling Luo and Feifei Ouyang's phone conversation was unclear to them.

"Grandfather asked when you will come over for a meal."

"What?!" Feifei Ouyang wasn't the least bit responsive to what he had just said, and went straight to another subject, which made Ziling Luo feel awkward, and unable to refuse, he hesitantly agreed, "If I have time, I'll definitely come over to dine with Sir Ouyang. My grandfather also asked me to check his health for him. Last time I visited, I left in a hurry and forgot about this."

There was silence on the other end of the call, and for a moment, Ziling Luo thought Feifei Ouyang had hung up.

Just as he hesitated whether to say something, Feifei Ouyang's voice came through again, "Your grandfather wrote in a letter that my childhood illness hasn't yet healed!"

"What?! Why didn't he tell me?" Ziling Luo was surprised.

When he left the small village, his grandfather had requested that he check Feifei Ouyang's health and treat her illness.

Feifei Ouyang had a severe allergic constitution as a child, which led to serious asthma.

This illness meant she couldn't come into contact with allergens like pollen, dust mites, and even high-protein foods like fish, meat, shrimp, and seafood were off-limits. Her allergies were congenital, and the asthma was secondary, caused by the allergies.

She had sought treatment at many hospitals, but they were unable to fully cure her; the allergic constitution couldn't be eradicated and was getting worse.

Every spring, Feifei Ouyang often suffered severe symptoms, with each episode feeling like a walk through Ghost Gate Pass.

Lingyun Ouyang later took Feifei Ouyang to the Northwest to find Liansheng Luo, Ziling Luo's grandfather.

After over two months of treatment, Feifei Ouyang's allergies miraculously disappeared, and even when eating fish, meat, or seafood, and coming into contact with pollen or dust didn't trigger allergies or cause asthma.

Ziling Luo knew that Feifei Ouyang's allergic constitution was also related to an abnormal immune system, at least according to modern medicine. From the perspective of traditional medicine, she had a severe yin deficiency, and a deficiency in qi and blood causing cold, which had led to a series of health problems, severely disrupting her bodily functions.

These underlying causes made her condition difficult to treat, and modern medicine had no cure. The Ouyang Family had exhausted their resources, consulting many experts to treat Feifei Ouyang, without success.

Ultimately, only Luo Liansheng, who had once saved Ouyang Lingyun's life, was able to use his miraculous medical skills to temporarily cure Ouyang Feifei's illness.

Luo Ziling believed that the cause of Ouyang Feifei's illness had been completely eradicated and that she would no longer have any issues in the future.

Because Ouyang Feifei had gone to the Northwest for treatment and returned after two months with a lot of medicine, Luo Liansheng continued to adjust the treatment plan according to her condition description for the next few years. It wasn't until Ouyang Feifei was around thirteen or fourteen years old that he stopped sending prescriptions to the Ouyang family.

Since Luo Liansheng no longer focused on Ouyang Feifei's treatment, Luo Ziling naturally assumed that her illness had been fully cured and that she was no different from a normal person.

Unexpectedly, she was not completely healed, and Luo Liansheng actually told the Ouyang family that he needed to continue helping with the treatment.

Luo Ziling couldn't figure out what was going on with his grandfather's arrangements, and he was also puzzled that his grandfather hadn't told him about this in person.

However, he also understood the reason why Ouyang Feifei temporarily stopped taking medication in her teens.

It must have been because her body was starting to develop, and she feared the medication would affect her growth, so the treatment was paused.

The next step, if treatment was to be restarted, speaking from a medical standpoint, should be to thoroughly treat her before she gets married and has children, eradicating the chronic illness once and for all. This way, it would not affect her marriage, childbearing, or her body's hormone levels.

As Luo Ziling was lost in thought, Ouyang Feifei did not speak or respond to his earlier exclamation, but she also did not hang up the phone.

"All right, then, I'll find an opportunity to come over and check on your condition," Luo Ziling had to say another sentence.

"Thank you for that," Ouyang Feifei finally spoke up, "This is my personal phone number, you can call me on this number if there's anything."

Then she didn't say anything more, said goodbye, and hung up the phone.

"Sigh, I just can't sever the connection with the Ouyang family," he sighed, and before him also appeared the image of Ouyang Feifei's frost-like demeanor, as well as her flawless beauty, her figure and temperament outstanding beyond anyone else's.

Such an outstanding woman, how could he bear to let her suffer from illness? Luo Ziling really found her hard to let go.

"Enough, enough, don't think about the marriage arrangement or individual feelings. Just regard her as an ordinary patient and treat Ouyang Lingyun as an old friend," he thought.

While Luo Ziling was contemplating, his phone rang again. It was Li Jing calling, and Luo Ziling quickly answered.

"Mrs. Li, what made you think to call me?" Answering Li Jing's phone call immediately improved Luo Ziling's mood.

"Hey, handsome guy, what are you up to? Why is it so noisy?" Li Jing ignored Luo Ziling's banter and went straight to the point, "I sent you a message, why didn't you reply?"

"Heh, I'm eating supper and drinking with some classmates, didn't check my phone."

"Oh, you're having supper?" Li Jing sounded relieved over the phone, "I was worried something had happened to you."

"Nothing happened," he denied and then felt he should tell Li Jing about the earlier fight, "I just had an argument with some classmates, but it's all good now. We're drinking, and they're nearly drunk; I'm still alright!"

"As long as you're fine," Li Jing didn't say much, just instructed Luo Ziling to drink less and go back early to rest.

After thanking Mrs. Li, Luo Ziling hung up the phone.

Receiving phone calls from these two women tonight made Luo Ziling feel it was strange!

He also saw the messages from Li Jing and that friend called "Yue" on his WeChat, asking almost the same thing, inquiring what he was doing and if he didn't reply because he was in some kind of trouble.

Luo Ziling felt even more puzzled.
