Chapter 529: Ten Months of Peace in Exchange for a Night

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“You’re already in your thirties. Aren’t they just menstrual cramps? Just say it openly.”

“Lin Yi, I’ll strangle you to death!” Liang Ruoxu pinched Lin Yi’s arm. “Lower your voice.”

“It’s not a sensitive question,” Lin Yi said.

“If you say that you’re 18 years old and thin-skinned, I can understand. But at your age, you’re already a grandmother in the countryside. What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

“What do you mean at my age? I’m only 30!”

“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Lin Yi said, “Those who claim they can treat it are all liars. At most, they can help alleviate the symptoms.”

“Is there no cure?”

“Others don’t have a cure, but I do.”

“What is it? Tell me quickly.”

“Give me one night and I’ll help you achieve ten months of peace.”

“One night?”

Liang Ruoxu’s face turned red as she understood what Lin Yi was talking about.

“I’m being serious. Be decent.”

“I didn’t take off my pants while chatting with you. How am I being indecent?” Lin Yi said.

“If you don’t believe me, think about it yourself. Which of the women around you who have given birth have such symptoms?”

“Um…”

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Liang Ruoxu thought for a moment, “That seems to be the case.”

“So, just give me one night. If it doesn’t work, I’ll pay you 500 yuan.”

Liang Ruoxu put her hands on her waist. “So you’re saying that a night with me is only worth 500 yuan?”

“Don’t say that.” Lin Yi said.

“500 yuan is just a basic service. For every additional action, there’s an additional fee. Each position will cost a separate sum. Moreover, with my physique, I’ll definitely add an unlimited number of hours in the end. I won’t be able to leave without spending tens of thousands of yuan in that night.”

“Lin Yi, stop talking nonsense with me!” Liang Ruoxu said.

“I’m not fooling around with you. What’s the solution?”

“Drink more hot water.”

“I don’t want to hear that!” Liang Ruoxu said, “If a scumbag gives me the same advice as a normal man, I’d rather not listen to it at all.”

“Don’t drink cold water.”

“You!”

“Sir, we want to ask you for directions. We want to register for the pediatrics department. Where should we go?”

Just as they were talking, a young couple ran in from outside.

Lin Yi looked at the person who spoke. The couple should only be a little older than him, but they looked much older than him.

Moreover, their dark skin and simple clothes made them look like they came from the countryside.

In addition, there was a baby in the woman’s arms.

Lin Yi could tell that it had just been born not long ago.

“The doctors are all off work at this time. They usually clock in the morning. Just come early tomorrow,” Lin Yi said.

“Huh? There’s no one available?”

The woman stomped her feet anxiously. “What should we do now? Do all hospitals only open for registration in the morning? Will we not be able to see a doctor now?”

“All the hospitals only open their registrations in the morning. No one is registered in the afternoon.”

Lin Yi looked at the woman and said, “Is the child sick? I’m the director of cardiology at Huashan Hospital. I can do a simple checkup for the child. If it’s not serious, you can come back tomorrow.”

Young people nowadays doted on their children far more than before.

When the child felt a little uncomfortable, they would become so anxious that it was as if the sky had collapsed.

This kind of thing happened almost every day when Lin Yi was on duty in the emergency department.

Therefore, he wanted to give the young couple a heads-up and reassure them.

After learning of Lin Yi’s identity, the couple seemed to have seen their savior. The woman’s tears fell at this moment.

“We both came from the other county. After giving birth and going through confinement, I handed the child over to my mother-in-law in my hometown to take care of him. Then, I went to Zhonghai with my husband to work and earn money.”

“But this morning, my mother-in-law called me and said that our child couldn’t move his hands and feet. The neighbor, Wang Laoer’s, child was just a month old but could already move his hands and feet. So, the two of us rushed back and realized that that was really the case, so we drove here.”

“Doctor, please do us a favor and help us perform a check up. Is it serious? Is he lacking nutrition?”

Hearing the woman’s description, Lin Yi’s expression turned serious.

Liang Ruoxu also noticed this. It was rare for Lin Yi to look so serious.

“Come, you carry the child. I’ll perform a simple check-up first.”

Because Lin Yi had clinical experience in all subjects, pediatrics was nothing to him.

“Okay, okay, okay…”

The woman responded as she opened the swaddling cloth, revealing the child’s arms and legs.

Lin Yi grabbed one of the arms and gently raised it. After letting go, the arm fell back down.

Lin Yi repeated this action again, but the result was the same.

Then, Lin Yi did the same experiment on his legs and other arm. The results were the same.

“Don’t be anxious. I’ll take you to the emergency department for a detailed checkup.”

Seeing Lin Yi’s serious expression, the couple became even more nervous.

“Doctor, what kind of illness is this? Don’t scare us.”

“Don’t be anxious. The environment here isn’t proper. My examination might be inaccurate. I’ll get a professional pediatrician to examine him again.”

Because he had the most clinical experience in the entire Huashan Hospital, no one was more authoritative than Lin Yi.

The reason why he said this was because he wanted to further confirm his guess with the help of proper medical equipment.

“Okay, okay, okay. Thank you.”

“It’s okay.”

Lin Yi looked at Liang Ruoxu. “I’ll deal with the matter at hand. You can go back first.”

“Let’s go together. I have nothing to do tonight anyway.”

“That works too.”

Lin Yi took out his phone and called the head of pediatrics.

“Brother Wang, who’s on duty in your pediatrics department tonight?”

“I’m on duty. I just came back from a ward round.”

“I met a patient at the door. The situation is a little urgent. I’ll bring them to you.”

“Come on, I’m in the office.”

After hanging up, Lin Yi brought the couple and Liang Ruoxu to inpatient department three and knocked on the office door.

In the office sat a middle-aged man in his forties. His hair was greasy and he had a big belly. He looked like a typical greasy middle-aged man.

The man’s name was Wang Dawei, and he was the director of the pediatrics department.

A few days ago, Lin Yi was the one who operated on his father’s heart stent, so the two of them were very close.

Seeing Lin Yi bring people in, Wang Dawei buttoned his white coat.

“What are the baby’s symptoms?”

“He’s two months old, but his limbs are too weak to move.”

Hearing Lin Yi’s simple description, Wang Dawei’s expression changed, as if he had realized something.

“Take the child to the cot. I’ll examine him.”

The child’s mother placed the child on the small bed. Although he kept crying, she could not care about anything else now.

A few minutes later, Wang Dawei did a preliminary checkup and found that the situation was exactly as Lin Yi had said.

“Director Lin, wait here for a while. I’ll arrange a basic checkup for the child to see what’s going on.”

“Okay.”

Wang Dawei walked out of the office with the child’s parents.

Lin Yi sat on the sofa with a dark expression. Unconsciously, he picked up the cigarette on the desk and silently lit one.

Liang Ruoxu looked surprised. This was the first time she had seen Lin Yi smoke.

“Is the baby not well?”

“He hasn’t been officially diagnosed, but I think we know what it is. It’s probably SMA, also known as spinal muscular atrophy.”
