Chapter 404 - It has to be taken slowly (2/2)

The surrounding passers-by were murmuring amongst themselves.

“What happened to this person?”

“Should we go take a look?”

“You go. I’m not going. This is too dangerous. If something happens, we might get dragged into the trouble.”

“Please, move aside…” A girl who looked like a student went forward and kneeled down. “Auntie, what’s wrong?”

This female student was quite helpless in this situation but at least she was better than those passers-by who were watching from the side.

“Don’t touch her,” Lin Fan went forward and said. Then, under the surprised gaze of the female student, he checked the condition of the middle-aged lady. But when he saw the middle-aged lady’s face, he felt that she looked familiar as if he had seen her somewhere before. However, at that moment, he couldn’t quite figure it out.

“Give me water,” said Lin Fan. The female student passed him a half-filled mineral water bottle. With Lin Fan’s help, the middle-aged lady regained consciousness.

When the middle-aged lady came to, she was still in a daze but as soon as she saw Lin Fan, she grabbed tightly onto his hand. “Little Boss…”

Lin Gan was slightly surprised. “You know me?” Suddenly, after seeing the middle-aged lady’s eyes, he figured it out. “You’re the mother of that anorexic girl.”

Madam Wang nodded. “That’s me, Little Boss. That’s me.”

It had been some time since that incident had happened. Lin Fan didn’t know if he had seen this person on Cloud Street during this period. There were too many people that queued up for his scallion pancakes and it was only natural for him not to notice such a thing.

Lin Fan noticed that there were quite a lot of people around, so he said, “If there’s something to say, say it later. Get up first.”

When the passersby saw that the lady was fine, they dispersed. The weather was too hot, no one was willing to idle under the Sun. Lin Fan faced the female student and said, “You’re very kind, young lady. What’s your name?”

The young lady looked to be eighteen or nineteen. She had a sweet and beautiful appearance. When she saw that the Auntie was fine, she let out a smile and said, “I’m a freshman from Shanghai University, Fang Yue.”

Lin Fan nodded and smiled. “Alright, she’s fine. Thank you very much.”

Fang Yue replied with a smile, “Just doing what I should.”

…

In the car.

Lin Fan switched the air conditioner to the highest setting. He had already remembered about this mother of the anorexic girl. In the past, she would always go to his shop to queue for scallion pancakes but he hadn’t seen her for a period of time. Today, he saw that Madam Wang was slightly more at ease than in the past but she seemed to have aged quite a bit.

“How is your daughter? Has her sickness gotten better?” asked Lin Fan.

This matter had nothing to do with him. Although it is said that a doctor is like a parent to his or her patients, Lin Fan was not a doctor. However, after seeing the girl, Lin Fan couldn’t help it.

As of then, his medical abilities were superb and he had gained a complete understanding of anorexia. This sickness has two extremities to it. One type is when the patient refuses to eat on his or her own accord, the other is when one feels a certain mental suppression or has taken a psychological blow. The latter involves one taking some mental damage, causing one to detest food and be resistant to consuming food.

Madam Wang shook her head. “Her sickness is getting more and more severe. She’s already so skinny that she doesn’t even look human.”

“And how did you faint on the road?” asked Lin Fan. Actually, he didn’t have to ask. He already knew. She was clearly malnourished and her body was fatigued, causing it to be in a weak state. With the hot weather on top of that, it had only been natural for her to feel dizzy. She had hypoglycemia.

Wang Mu shook her head as if she didn’t want to reply, then she looked at Lin Fan and said, “Little Boss, could you take pity on me and give me one scallion pancake?”

Lin Fan was startled. He hadn’t expected Madam Wang to talk to him with such a tone. She was basically begging him.

Sigh!

In the past, he hadn’t had the ability but he did now. This sickness was because of the patient herself but her parents had been dragged into it. It really made him frustrated.

“Let’s go to the hospital first to take a look at your daughter and see just what stage this sickness has developed to,” said Lin Fan. He had never thought that after going around and doing so many things, that he would be involved with anorexia once again.

However, this matter had to be taken slowly.
