Wang Fang had spent all her family's savings to treat Tongtong. Han Lang's appearance not only saved Tongtong's life but he also did not ask for a single cent.
Therefore, Wang Fang's gratitude towards Han Lang was truly from the depths of her heart. At the same time, she felt guilty for being unable to pay Han Lang for his consultation.
Now that it was time for Tongtong's follow-up appointment, the only thing she could do was to try her best not to inconvenience Han Lang. Thus, she brought Tongtong and waited at the entrance of the Tianyi Pavilion early.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Fang saw Han Lang and Luo Jiaying appear in the distance. She immediately pulled Tongtong to her feet, brushed off the dust from her clothes, and respectfully greeted Han Lang.
"Little divine doctor, you're here! Tongtong, come and meet your savior!"
As Han Lang approached, Wang Fang quickly greeted him while reminding Tongtong.
"Tongtong greets the benefactor, thank you for saving my life!"
Compared to her near-death state in the hospital previously, Tongtong looked exceptionally lively and cute at the moment. Her young, pure, and sweet voice made both Han Lang and Luo Jiaying feel an overwhelming fondness.
"Sister Wang Fang, is it? You're quite early, have you been waiting long?"
Wang Fang quickly replied.
"No, no, we just arrived. Little divine doctor, please don't be so formal, just call me Wang Fang!"
Han Lang saw through Wang Fang's lie at a glance, but he didn't expose it. He quickly took out the remote control for the rolling shutter door, opened the shop, and invited Wang Fang and her son inside.
Luo Jiaying also immediately poured a cup of water for Wang Fang and Tongtong respectively, while also playing with the adorable Tongtong again.
"Is this young lady the little divine doctor's girlfriend? She's so beautiful!"
Luo Jiaying and Han Lang had not expected Wang Fang to say such a thing at all, and both appeared somewhat flustered.
"No, Sister Wang Fang! He and I are just childhood playmates."
Luo Jiaying's face turned completely red.
"Oh, so you're childhood sweethearts!"
Wang Fang's expression seemed very serious. It was unclear whether she genuinely didn't understand or was deliberately saying this, but Luo Jiaying's ears were starting to feel hot from embarrassment.
Han Lang quickly explained.
"Sister Wang Fang, you've misunderstood! We're just childhood friends, not a couple yet."
Wang Fang then seemed to realize her mistake.
"Oh, I apologize! I misheard, I'm sorry, young lady! May I ask for your name?"
"Luo Jiaying, you can call me Xiao Ying."
"Oh, Miss Luo, I'm truly sorry! But you and the little divine doctor do look very well-matched."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Hearing this, Han Lang was choked by something and began to cough incessantly. At the same time, he quickly began the follow-up examination for Tongtong to change the subject.
"Cough, cough... Come, Tongtong, let brother take a look at you!"
As it concerned Tongtong, Wang Fang dared not delay and quickly led Tongtong to Han Lang.
Last time, Han Lang had used 'Nirvana' from the Shen Nong Eighteen Needles to treat Tongtong, aiming to restore vitality to her failing organs.
As the name suggests, 'Nirvana' referred to the phoenix's rebirth, symbolizing being reborn from the ashes!
However, the price of rebirth was weakness and immaturity.
Therefore, to restore Tongtong's various organs to normal levels, it was still necessary to use 'Long Hu Jian' to slowly promote organ growth.
However, before administering the needles, Han Lang deemed it necessary to check Tongtong's pulse to determine her physical condition.
"Hmm, the recovery is good! Then I'll start with the acupuncture now!"
'Long Hu Jian' was an auxiliary acupuncture technique. Its function was not to directly act on the organs like 'Nirvana'. Instead, it was like releasing floodwaters, opening up the body's various channels, allowing life to breathe freely, and maximizing the absorption of nutrients needed for growth.
Therefore, after completing the acupuncture, the herbs in the prescription Han Lang gave Tongtong, like those given to Xiang Hongyun, required a certain age.
Only in this way could Tongtong's body absorb more energy and nutrients, allowing her body to quickly recover to normal levels.
"Try to get this prescription from Zhongcao Tang. I'm afraid medicines from other places may not fully meet the requirements. Take it continuously as instructed for ten days, and then come for the next follow-up appointment!"
Upon hearing the words 'Zhongcao Tang', a subtle hint of difficulty appeared on Wang Fang's face, but she quickly concealed it.
"Okay, thank you, little divine doctor! May I ask about the consultation fee this time..."
Wang Fang was conflicted. She didn't have much money but wanted to pay some consultation fee to express her gratitude, yet she was worried that the fee might be too high for her to afford.
Han Lang, unaware of Wang Fang's predicament, simply pointed to the consultation fee box as he did with other patients.
"The consultation fee is by donation, please pay over there!"
Wang Fang walked to the consultation fee box, stunned. Looking at the remaining balance of 3,000 yuan on her phone, she thought for a moment, then unhesitatingly scanned the QR code with a 'beep' and paid 1,500 yuan.
After paying, she said to Han Lang with a smile.
"Little divine doctor, may I be so bold as to ask your working hours?"
Han Lang, without suspicion, directly replied.
"From ten in the morning to six in the evening!"
"Alright, then I'll be going now! I'll trouble you again next time!"
As Wang Fang spoke, she had Tongtong say goodbye to Han Lang and Luo Jiaying, which made Luo Jiaying's maternal instincts surge again.
After Wang Fang left, there were basically no other patients at the Tianyi Pavilion. The fundamental reason for this was the deliberate retaliatory actions from Qingtian Hospital.
Therefore, for Luo Jiaying, it was another extremely boring day.
It wasn't until dusk that Wang Fang's figure reappeared within her line of sight.
"Sister Wang Fang? Why are you back? Did something happen to Tongtong?"
Seeing Luo Jiaying's misunderstanding, Wang Fang quickly waved her hands and said with a smile.
"No, no! Tongtong is fine. I just happened to be passing by after work and wanted to contribute my humble efforts. The little divine doctor has been a benefactor to me, I feel I must do something for you, even if it's just helping with the cleaning."
After speaking, she directly rolled up her sleeves, found the mop and cloths in the bathroom, and started cleaning.
Han Lang also rushed over, saying with confusion.
"Sister Wang Fang, what are you doing? There's absolutely no need!"
"Little divine doctor, please don't be so polite! You saved Tongtong's life and didn't charge a penny. I truly feel uneasy about it. Please let me do something for you, it will make me feel better!"
After Wang Fang finished speaking, she continued to swing the mop, but Han Lang grabbed her hand.
"Sister Wang Fang, my treatment for Tongtong was purely out of a doctor's compassion. I remember telling you this at the time, right? Moreover, I also asked you for a delicate hairpin as a consultation fee, so we should be even, shouldn't we? Therefore, you don't need to do this."
Wang Fang looked at Han Lang, and suddenly her nose felt sore, and tears began to stream down her face.
