"Do you know which hospital has a better dermatology department? My granddaughter has a rash on her body. She's been to several hospitals, and it's still not better."
"Alas, I wonder what the reason is?"
"The doctor said it might be an allergy, but they tested for allergens, and there were no problems with shrimp, eggs, or fish. She's not allergic to pollen either."
"That's strange. If she's not allergic to anything, could it be an immunity issue?"
"I don't know. My daughter-in-law plans to take her to Washington to see a doctor."
...
Seeing that Rong Jingyang was not talkative, only responding with "Mm, mm, mm, it's fine, I don't know," and was as cold as an iceberg, the group of elderly women gradually lost interest in striking up a conversation and began to chat amongst themselves about their own families.
Listening to the elderly people whose every sentence revolved around their children, Rong Jingyang's thoughts drifted.
[Du Ruoxin...]
At this moment, he missed her a little, thinking of her involuntarily.
There were many questions he wanted to ask her, many things he wanted to say to her, many...
Rong Jingyang's actions were faster than his thoughts. He took out his phone and dialed the woman's number.
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service. Please check the number and try again."
No longer in service?
Didn't she just call him this morning?
The ruthless automated response made Rong Jingyang's expression grow colder.
Was he on her blacklist, unable to get through?
This realization made the man frown even deeper. It was truly...
[Didn't we agree to part on good terms?]
Did she mean she never intended to speak to him again in this life?
The man's heart grew heavier, but at that moment, a cry pulled his thoughts back.
"Waaah—"
It was Rong Doudou's voice!
Upon hearing his daughter wailing, Rong Jingyang's heart was instantly in turmoil. He instinctively stood up, but his footing was unstable, and he almost fell forward.
Lin Xuanyao held him steady and said as he took off his shoes, "Sir, I'll go take a look."
Soon, Lin Xuanyao ran out carrying Doudou, whose mouth was covered in blood.
The little girl was injured!
Her lips were bleeding continuously!
It looked so frightening!
Especially hearing her miserable cries, Rong Jingyang's heart felt like it was breaking.
He took his daughter from Lin Xuanyao's arms and, in his wheelchair, rushed straight to the elevator. "Doudou, don't be afraid. Daddy will take you to the hospital right away."
How could she be bleeding so much?
Where was she injured? Was it serious?
Rong Jingyang asked his daughter to open her mouth, but found it was full of blood, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
He panicked!
The man who had remained unfazed by scenes of dismembered limbs and rivers of blood in past wars was now terrified by the blood in his daughter's mouth, losing all composure.
How old was Doudou? She kept spitting out blood, mouthful after mouthful.
Rong Jingyang held his daughter. She felt as small as his palm, as if she could shatter with a squeeze or break with a touch.
So fragile, so delicate.
At this moment, Rong Doudou's cries tore at Rong Jingyang's heart.
For the first time, he understood what it meant to be at a loss, what it meant to be caught off guard.
He didn't know where his daughter was injured, nor how serious it was.
He was so flustered!
The Rolls-Royce sped towards the nearest hospital.
When the doctor examined Rong Doudou, stopped the bleeding, and said there was no serious issue, not even needing to prescribe medication.
Rong Jingyang: "—"
Doctor, are you sure you're not lying to me?
Doudou had spat out so much blood. Seeing her mouth bleeding profusely, he had almost lost his soul.
"Doctor, prescribe some medicine!" Rong Jingyang commanded with a dark expression.
He suspected this doctor was incompetent, lacking in professional ability. With so much bleeding, why wasn't he prescribing any medicine?
If anything happened to Doudou, who would compensate him for his daughter?!
The doctor, sensing Rong Jingyang's questioning gaze, was slightly displeased, but with the heart of a healer, he understood the family's anxiety.
He politely and professionally stated, "The child just scraped her skin. The injury is not serious and does not require medication."
"I understand your feelings, but using medication unnecessarily can be harmful to children."
"Take care of her when you get home. Let her eat bland food for the next few days, not too spicy, and try to eat softer foods."
In the end, Rong Jingyang heeded the doctor's professional advice and did not insist on a prescription.
Exiting the hospital.
Rong Jingyang looked at his daughter's lower lip, which had swollen considerably. His brows involuntarily furrowed into a deep frown, and his heart felt clenched, his entire body in a state of tension.
Everyone could feel the oppressive atmosphere.
Only Rong Doudou, the person involved, having cried and felt the pain, was now fine. Seeing the snack vendor at the entrance, she excitedly called out, "Daddy, I want cotton candy."
Rong Jingyang: ...Can she eat that?
He couldn't bear to refuse his daughter, but he was afraid that eating would cause her to bleed again.
He didn't want to go through that scene a second time.
His heart couldn't take it!
Lin Xuanyao, sensing his master's predicament, immediately said, "I'll go ask the doctor."
