634 The Test Results (1/2)

The doctor looked between Xiu and Xin Zimen making Xiu impatient. She was already very impatient, the doctor was just making it worse.

”Doctor, is something wrong with Ah-Xin?” her voice came out very softly as if she was scared to hear the answer to this particular question.

”No, his reports are normal.”

”Really?” Xiu was in disbelief but was also genuinely happy to hear that.

”However...” her smile vanished when the doctor continued, ”I believe Mr. Xin has been disregarding his health lately. Overwork and stress can do serious damage to his mental health in the long run. This is also dangerous for his heart muscles.” The doctor spent ten minutes briefing them about Xin Zimen's health and Xiu listened attentively.

Xiu straightened up to ask, ”Then? What can we do?”

”Proper rest and diet is the basic priority right now.”

Xiu patted her chest saying, ”You don't worry doctor. I'll keep an eye on him.”

While Xin Zimen pursed his lips, the doctor said, ”Right now, someone needs more attention than him.”

”Huh?”

”And that's you Mrs. Salvay.”

Xiu frowned at him, ”Me? What's wrong with me?”

”Let me call your doctor.”

Xiu looked over at Xin Zimen and found him staring at her with worry. Xiu patted his hand in reassurance, ”The doctor knows nothing. You don't worry about it at all.”

”That's not very convincing, little lass,” replied Xin Zimen feeling fidgety. He hadn't felt this anxious in a long time.

Soon a female doctor walked in and greeted both of them. She placed Xiu's reports before them she detailed them about her condition. While Xin Zimen's brows quirked up, Xiu's face was impassive. There was not a single crack in her expressions. One look and one might think the person they were talking about had nothing to do with her.

”We can leave now, right?” that was the first sentence that Xin Zimen heard from her in the last thirty minutes.

The female doctor nodded her head saying, ”Yes, you can. But you'll have to come back for regular checkups. You have to take your condition seriously.”

”Oh, don't worry at all. I'm taking it very seriously,” replied Xiu with a forced tug at her lips.

”Wait for me in the car, I'll be right back,” said Xin Zimen and she nodded in reply. While she went to change back into her clothes, he went back to the female doctor to discuss Xiu's condition.

Xiu was leaning against the car when Xin Zimen came out. She was looking particularly at nothing. She just seemed lost.

He came up to her side and hugged her tightly. Xiu was taken aback but didn't push him away. Instead, she let his warmth comfort her.

”How are you taking it?” he asked.
