Chapter 458: 130: Zheng Xianjing took the bait, making money to support our Mr. Mo!_2
As Zheng Lingling ascended the stairs, she turned to Doctor Jiang and said, âDr. Jiang, my motherâs cough has gotten worse recently. As a daughter, it breaks my heart to see this. Can we do anything to relieve her cough and speed up her recovery?â
Doctor Jiang replied, âYour motherâs chronic cough, compounded by her old age and deteriorating health, wonât improve overnight. It requires gradual treatment.â
Zheng Lingling nodded her agreement. As they climbed up the stairs, she took the initiative to steady Dr. Jiangâs arm.
âMom, Dr. Jiang is here.â Zheng Lingling knocked on the door.
âCome in,â came Mrs. Zhengâs voice from inside.
Zheng Lingling entered the room with Doctor Jiang.
âXiaoyan.â Mrs. Zheng rose to meet them.
Zheng Xianjing followed suit and greeted her.
Doctor Jiang nodded in acknowledgement, then turned to Mrs. Zheng with concern, âAqing, I heard from Lingling that your cough has worsened.â
Laughing, Mrs. Zheng said, âItâs not as bad as Lingling has made out.â
Zheng Lingling looked at Xianjing and suggested, âXianjing, letâs take your great-aunt out so that Dr. Jiang and grandma can talk.â
âAlright.â Xianjing squatted down gently, âGreat-aunt Suyu, shall we go out?â
âYou are a devil! You want to hurt me!â Suyu burst into tears, terrified.
Zheng Lingling squatted down, coaxing, âAunt Suyu, shall we take you out for some candy?â
âYes!â Suyu brightened up, âCandy! Candy!â
Mother and daughter cajoled Aunt Suyu and managed to lead her out.
Mrs. Zheng heaved a helpless sigh.
Doctor Jiang inquired, âDidnât a self-proclaimed âDivine Doctorâ who could cure Suyu come a while ago? From my observation, Suyuâs condition hasnât improved at all.â
Recalling something, Mrs. Zheng burst out, âDivine Doctor my foot! He was nothing but a fraudster!â
Upon hearing this, Doctor Jiang patted Mrs. Zhengâs hand reassuringly, âSuyu has her own fate. She will surely recover.â
âI hope so!â Mrs. Zheng sighed again.
Doctor Jiang continued, âBy the way, Aqing, have you heard anything about Tingting lately?â
âNo,â Mrs. Zheng shook her head, âIt has been over thirty years. It wouldnât be that easy to find her. Iâll be frank, Iâve given up hope.â
Doctor Jiang glanced at Mrs. Zheng, a hint of knowing sparkle in her eyes.
No hope?
Then why did she secretly send hair for DNA testing?
What old friends! What lifelong sisterhood!
Itâs all a façade.
If Mrs. Zheng considered her as a dear friend, she wouldnât keep secrets from her.
Doctor Jiang narrowed her eyes subtly, âAlthough you say that, you should still continue your search. After all, Tingting is your biological daughter. Lingling, despite being raised by you, isnât your flesh and blood.â
âThe proverb âOur own children are our precious jewelsâ holds truer than ever.â Doctor Jiang glanced at Mrs. Zheng, changing her tone, âBut speaking from my heart, Lingling is an exemplary and filial daughter, who cares deeply about your health every time I visit.â
Mrs. Zheng nodded, âIndeed, Lingling is a good daughter.â
Doctor Jiang extracted a stethoscope from her medical bag and began to examine Mrs. Zheng, changing the topic, âAqing, have you been taking your medicine on time recently?â
âYes, always on time.â
Doctor Jiang continued, âHas your toilet routine been normal?â
âYes, normal.â
After asking a few more questions, Doctor Jiangâs smile faded; a look of concern clouded her face.
âIs my condition bad?â Mrs. Zheng looked at Doctor Jiang.
âNo.â Doctor Jiang shook her head, âDonât worry too much, youâre in good health!â
Mrs. Zheng wasnât a fool; she had already perceived the answer from Doctor Jiangâs expression.
âXiaoyan, Iâm now in my sixties and have weathered many storms. You can tell me straight, thereâs no need to tiptoe around it.â
âReally, itâs nothing.â Doctor Jiang smilingly responded, âAqing, you worry too much. I remember when you were younger, you would always fight and make a fuss with Zheng Jun because of this.â
Upon mentioning youth, Mrs. Zhengâs face lit up with a faint smile. She appeared lost in old memories, as if back in those days.
Back then, Tingting was still here. Suyu hadnât gone mad yet. Their family was so happy.
