The call machine displayed Chen Ningxi’s na, and simultaneously, the broadcast was calling her to Room No. 3.
Chen Ningxi took a deep breath, stood up, and walked toward the consultation room. Ye Yujun glanced back at the hall but didn’t see Cheng Qiaobei.
"Not waiting for Cheng?"
Chen Ningxi said, "He’ll co over after finishing his call."
The mother and daughter walked towards Room No. 3. Ye Yujun said, "My classmate went to a eting out of town. Without soone around, it feels a bit uncertain."
Chen Ningxi said, "There’s nothing to be uncertain about. Whether he’s here or not, the doctor follows the normal procedure to see the patient. He can’t produce magic results for ."
Ye Yujun said, "I’m just nervous, thinking it’s more reassuring to know soone."
Cheng Qiaobei hurried back. "Is it Ningxi’s turn?"
Ye Yujun said, "They just called her."
Chen Ningxi knocked on the door. The consultation room was air-conditioned, enveloping her in a chill that made her shiver upon entering.
"Doctor Zhang, hello. I am a forr classmate of Xiao Baoquan, Dean Xiao. He recomnded you to examine my daughter. You’re authoritative in this field, and having you look at her gives us peace of mind. Thank you for today. This is my daughter, Ning Xi, co over and greet Doctor Zhang."
Honestly, she hesitated to say it.
But receiving a cue from Ye Yujun, she greeted, "Hello, Doctor Zhang."
Cheng Qiaobei followed suit, "Hello, Doctor Zhang."
Doctor Zhang was amiable and spoke in a gentle tone, exemplifying the typical restraint of an Eastern woman.
"Oh... I recall, Dean Xiao ntioned your daughter. Please sit." She asked a few simple questions and then began disinfecting her hands, putting on disposable dical gloves and gesturing, "Lie on the bed, family, co and help."
Chen Ningxi felt sowhat resistant to the physical examination, but since she had to see the doctor, she followed the doctor’s instructions.
"Mom, let ." Cheng Qiaobei noticed Chen Ningxi’s nervousness and assisted her, saying, "Don’t worry, it’s okay."
Chen Ningxi lay flat on the examination bed, turning her head toward the wall as the doctor’s hands started the examination. Her face showed a shy, restrained expression due to the discomfort.
"Alright, you can co down now." Doctor Zhang stepped out from behind the curtain as Cheng Qiaobei went in to help straighten her clothes.
When Chen Ningxi got off the bed, Cheng Qiaobei squatted down to help her put on her shoes.
Doctor Zhang glanced, a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, "I’ve seen many patients, but there aren’t many who get their shoes put on for them."
Ye Yujun said, "My son-in-law here is good-tempered, caring, and filial."
Doctor Zhang nodded and asked Ye Yujun, "What tests were done at your hotown hospital?"
Ye Yujun said, "I brought them all. These are all the tests done."
Doctor Zhang took out the hysterosalpingography report, "Given her condition, she should have a hysterosalpingography, but considering the interval is too short, it can’t be done. Let see the last results."
She took out other test reports one after another. Cheng Qiaobei kept watching the doctor behind the desk, observing her expression.
After reviewing the various examination data of Chen Ningxi, she instructed the intern in charge of printing sothing. The intern then began operating on the computer.
Doctor Zhang took the printed checklist, "Get these tests done, and co back to find once you’re done."
Ye Yujun hurriedly accepted it with both hands, smiling, "Alright, we’ll go now. Doctor Zhang, with so many tests, we probably can’t finish them all in a day. I see there are quite a few patients in the hospital."
Doctor Zhang said, "So basic ones can be scheduled, but the ultrasound might have a queue."
Cheng Qiaobei warmly asked, "Doctor Zhang, if we can’t finish the tests today, will you be available tomorrow?"
He checked the consultation schedule on his phone, knowing that Doctor Zhang wasn’t on duty every day.
Doctor Zhang said, "My next duty is next Wednesday."
Cheng Qiaobei quickly said, "Doctor Zhang, could we add each other on WeChat? If our results co out, can we send them to you for a look?"
Doctor Zhang hesitated, and Ye Yujun quickly chid in, "Doctor Zhang, we ca all the way from Danjiang, it’s really far. The child has to work on Monday. Don’t worry, we won’t disturb you."
Doctor Zhang took out her phone, and Cheng Qiaobei directly scanned her to add as a friend.
Ye Yujun thanked, "Thank you, Doctor Zhang."
This was one of the rare monts Chen Ningxi saw her mother lower her stance when speaking, and it was always for her.
So, a mother’s love is selfless, even if it makes her humble down to the dust.
The three of them left the consultation room. Ye Yujun said, "Cheng’s quick thinking really helps. Without her WeChat, we’d have to wait until next Wednesday to co back after completing the tests."
Cheng Qiaobei said, "Mom, if it weren’t for your support, she might not have added as a friend."
Ye Yujun said, "If my classmate hadn’t gone to an out-of-town eting, it would have been even easier to talk."
Cheng Qiaobei said, "Luckily, we know soone, otherwise Ningxi really couldn’t get her appointnt."
Ye Yujun asked, "Did you ask the guide?"
Cheng Qiaobei said, "No, I just checked the hospital’s appointnt registration on my phone. For an expert like her, next month’s appointnts are all full."
"See, I told you she’s authoritative." Ye Yujun felt more reassured, as if Doctor Zhang could cure Chen Ningxi’s condition.
Chen Ningxi quietly followed behind them. The previous generation always liked to rely on connections to get things done. Having a layer of acquaintance seed to provide assurance.
Chen Ningxi didn’t care much about these. Doctor Zhang managed to beco an expert at a top hospital in Shanghai, surely she is capable of extraordinary things.
The subsequent tests went fairly smoothly, and they received the results in the afternoon.
They returned to Room No. 3, where others were still consulting inside.
Precisely because she saw so many patients, Chen Ningxi realized that she was not alone in her struggles.
The door of Room No. 3 opened, and as people inside left, they hurried to enter.
Ye Yujun said, "Doctor Zhang, lucky us, we managed to complete all the tests."
Cheng Qiaobei placed the report on the table. Doctor Zhang, looking at the diagnostic conclusion, frowned more and more.
The results were not more optimistic than before, and with Chen Ningxi’s current physical condition, natural conception was almost impossible. The couple was advised to consider artificial insemination.
Chen Ningxi tried to remain calm, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Back at the hotel, Cheng Qiaobei saw she was not energetic. This result was not what Chen Ningxi wanted to hear.
She said she was tired and lay on the bed with her eyes closed.
Cheng Qiaobei knew she couldn’t sleep; she just needed ti to process the results.
Back in the room, Ye Yujun was also heavy-hearted and called to inform Chen Weichuan of the results.
Chen Weichuan was silent for a mont and said, "Tell Ningxi not to stress. Isn’t there still a way? Artificial insemination is also a treatnt thod. Since the doctor has given advice, there’s still hope for Ningxi, and we’ll follow the doctor’s treatnt."
Ye Yujun sighed and said, "You don’t know how Ningxi feels."
"You don’t have to say, I also know how she feels." Chen Weichuan’s tone was solemn, "Let’s treat the child’s illness first. If it’s cured, their little family will be happy. If the end result is unsatisfactory, and if Qiao Bei suggests parting, we’ll respect that. If Ningxi doesn’t want to burden Qiao Bei, I’ll respect her too."
Ye Yujun nodded, sniffing, and said, "Alright, Old Chen, I think the sa as you."
