Chapter 574: Chapter 572 What’s Wrong_1 Chapter 574: Chapter 572 What’s Wrong_1 “Lu!” Xia Ningxing, knowing he was concerned about her, couldn’t help but glare at him.
Lu Tingli, eyes on his nose, nose on his heart, picked out a piece of crispy bone for her, “Eat up!”
At this mont, the old master also spoke, “Ningxing, you should eat your fill first, then worry about the child.”
“Exactly, if this woman doesn’t eat enough, where will the milk co from later, right!” Nanny Wu echoed imdiately.
“Indeed.” Xia Ningxing replied with a smile, and to ensure the little guy could drink more milk, she ate her fill.
“All done eating?” Lu Tingli asked with concern once she put down her chopsticks.
“Yes.” Xia Ningxing answered, while taking the milk bottle from the little one’s hand, “Good boy, let’s not drink this, let’s go for sothing tastier!”
She winked at him, full of implication.
The little one seed to know what she ant, and imdiately grinned with joy.
Back in the room, Xia Ningxing provided the little one with his sustenance.
The little one hadn’t had breast milk in many days and was craving it terribly, eagerly gulping it down “gurgle gurgle”.
The little one had a habit of guarding his food, fearing that soone might snatch the goodies from the other side, and always needed to cover it with his little hand.
But as soon as Lu Tingli ca over, the little one would sensibly let go of his hand, and he even often invited him to join in the feast with baby talk.
Of course, every ti he would be taphorically rolled his eyes by Lu Tingli.
He’s not one year old!
Seeing that he wasn’t joining in, the little one was clearly happier, and the speed of his feeding slowed down quite a bit. Before, he was afraid that Lu Tingli would eat too, and then it would all be gone, so he ate very quickly.
Now, there was naturally no need for that.
After feeding, the little one let out several satisfied burps.
“No backbone!” Lu Tingli gave him another disdainful eye-roll, couldn’t be more contemptuous.
Xia Ningxing couldn’t help speaking up for her son, “Burping is a very normal thing, what are you complaining about!”
Scolded by his own darling wife, Lu Tingli didn’t dare to talk back, but he had already blad the little one for it.
If it wasn’t for him, he wouldn’t have been scolded.
Little one: “…”
It was you who despised first!
Deserved it!
After the burping stopped, the little one began to yawn, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
“Chuanchuan tired?” Xia Ningxing’s gaze was tender as if sprinkled with starlight, her voice soft as she coaxed him to sleep.
She humd a tune, one note following another.
The little one, listening, began to fight off sleep, but it didn’t take long before he dozed off.
Xia Ningxing carefully laid him down in the crib.
Lu Tingli couldn’t resist making a comnt again, “Eat till full and then sleep, just like a piglet!”
Hearing this, Xia Ningxing was full of black lines, turning to stare at him, “Who talks about their own child like that? Besides, if he’s a piglet what does that make you, a boar?”
Xia Ningxing’s retort was rciless.
Lu Tingli: “…”
Foot, et rock!
“Just kidding,” Lu Tingli coughed lightly, attempting to save face.
Xia Ningxing snorted softly, not deigning to pay him any attention.
After tucking Chuanchuan in with a blanket, Xia Ningxing gestured for Lu Tingli to follow her out.
It just so happened that the old patriarch was also sitting in the living room.
“What is it?” Lu Tingli asked.
Xia Ningxing pursed her lips and shared her thoughts with them, “Lu, Grandpa, I want to go to the hospital to help and closely observe the patients to see if I can find a way to treat them.”
Only by getting close to the source of infection could she find the truth!
That’s why Xia Ningxing wanted to go to the front lines!
“No way!”
As soon as they heard this, Lu Tingli and the old patriarch imdiately opposed.
Indeed, in tis of danger, everyone should sacrifice personal interests for the greater good, but when it cos down to it, who could bear to let their own family mbers take such a risk.
Please forgive their selfishness.
“Xingxing, your thoughts and spirit are comndable, but it’s too dangerous, and I absolutely cannot agree to it!” The old patriarch’s stance was exceptionally firm.
Lu Tingli felt even more strongly.
“Chuanchuan is still so young; he needs you. Can you bear to let him lose you?” Lu Tingli clenched his fingers, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, his voice angry, choked, and panicked.
Xia Ningxing had anticipated their reaction and couldn’t help but sigh, “Actually, although the hospital has a high risk of infection, if I wear protective gear and treat correctly, there won’t be too much danger. Moreover, if all the doctors are preoccupied with this and that, who will take care of the patients?”
“I really don’t want to do nothing. If I didn’t have the ability or had never learned dical ethics, I would just stand by and do nothing, but now, I feel that I would be dishonoring the white coat.”
Xia Ningxing sighed, rubbing her temples, and earnestly discussed the situation with the two of them.
The old patriarch struggled visibly.
He was one of the higher-ups; publicly, he should strongly support dical personnel like Xia Ningxing who possessed such a precious spirit.
But privately, she was his granddaughter-in-law, akin to his own flesh and blood; how could he bear to let her take the risk?
“If that’s the case, then if you go, I will accompany you,” Lu Tingli declared firmly.
Xia Ningxing was shocked and instinctively objected, “Lu! You don’t know dicine; you shouldn’t just ss around!”
“I absolutely won’t let you be in danger!” Lu Tingli asserted with determination, reminiscent of how he had insisted on being quarantined with her before.
Xia Ningxing replied in kind, “But I also don’t want you to be in danger.”
Just as they were about to argue further, the phone at the old mansion started ringing.
Xia Ningxing glanced at the incessantly ringing phone, “Let’s answer the call first.”
As she spoke, she picked up the phone, “May I ask who’s speaking?”
“Hello, may I speak with Miss Xia Ningxing?” a male voice ca through from the other end.
“This is she,” Xia Ningxing replied with a slight hesitation, completely unaware of the caller’s intentions.
However, she quickly understood as the caller swiftly got to the point, “Hello Miss Xia Ningxing, I’m with the Capital Health Departnt. A few days ago, we wanted to invite you to participate in the S virus research, but since you were quarantined, we had to give up the idea. Now that we’ve heard you’re not infected and have returned ho, I wonder if you’d be willing to join the research?”
While Xia Ningxing was a special consultant at Lu Hospital, she had saved many lives and solved nurous complicated dical cases.
Although she always kept a low profile and didn’t publicize her work, the dical community kept records, so the Health Departnt was aware of her.
And there was also Dean Lu’s strong recomndation.
Xia Ningxing was taken aback, clearly not expecting an organization like the Health Departnt to recognize her, especially since, aside from one reclusive Traditional dicine Family, the status of individual practitioners of traditional dicine was quite low.
There was no helping it, for the simple reason that, in most cases, Western dicine and pharmaceuticals worked much faster than their traditional Chinese counterparts.
