After Bai Jiang left, a man and a woman went to the town to inquire about the doctor who had offered free consultations at the market a few days ago.
Someone said, “The doctor is from Ancient Wind Village. They said that she will open a clinic there in a few days. If you want to find her, you can visit Ancient Wind Village.”
“Thank you, thank you,” the man expressed gratitude and they left.
Bai Jiang walked back home and found two unfamiliar individuals, a man and a woman, inside her house. Xu Hua was hosting them.
As Bai Jiang entered, the man became visibly excited. “Doctor, do you remember me? You saved my father at the market,” he exclaimed.
Bai Jiang nodded, recalling the incident.
“Has the old man been taken to the hospital? What did the doctor say?” Bai Jiang inquired, purely out of professional habit, without any ulterior motive.
However, the man and woman misinterpreted her question. They believed this female doctor was not only beautiful but also kind-hearted.
Previously, when she saved a life at the market, she quietly left after the rescue, hiding her achievements and reputation.
“Doctor, we genuinely appreciate your help that day,” the woman said.
“What brings you here today?” Bai Jiang asked.
Suddenly, the man and woman were unsure of what to say. They came to express gratitude, but shouldn’t they engage in small talk before doing so?
The direct question from the female doctor left them at a loss for words.
“What’s the matter?” Bai Jiang furrowed her brow upon seeing their confusion and asked again.
The man snapped out of his daze. “Hello, let me introduce myself first. My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Qiang. This is my wife, Wang Mei.”
“Hello, Mr. Wang and Ms. Wang,” Bai Jiang courteously replied.
“Well, we came here today with two purposes. Firstly, we wanted to apologize to you, and secondly, we hoped to trouble you,” Wang Qiang scratched his head sheepishly.
At this moment, Bai Jiang suddenly remembered that when she was treating the old man in the market, Wang Qiang said that his father did not want to go to the hospital.
He said that if Wang Qiang sent him to the hospital, he would jump off the building when he came back to his senses.
“Do you want me to visit your home and provide medical care?” Bai Jiang asked.
Wang Qiang nodded. “Yes, my dad is quite stubborn. If possible, I would like to invite you to come to our home and check on him. Due to his condition, I’m hesitant to take him outside.”
“Alright, lead the way,” Bai Jiang agreed.
“Huh?” Wang Qiang was taken aback, his face filled with confusion.
“Weren’t you asking me to come to your home for a medical visit? Show me the way,” Bai Jiang furrowed her brow.
“Now?” Wang Qiang asked uncertainly.
Originally, he had thought it would take some effort to bring the doctor to their house. They would have to wait until the next day at least.
But to his surprise, the female doctor agreed immediately and was even willing to come over right away.
“Of course, your father’s condition is serious. The sooner I come, the sooner I can provide treatment,” Bai Jiang said.
As Bai Jiang spoke, her expression seemed natural, but Wang Qiang felt somewhat embarrassed.
He had misunderstood her intentions.
“Oh, Wang Qiang, what are you still doing there? Doctor Bai has already said she will come over. Let’s take her home first,” Wang Mei said, patting Wang Qiang, who was lost in thought.
So, they brought Bai Jiang back to their home.
At this moment, the old man Wang was watching TV at home.
After dinner, his son mentioned that they would invite the doctor from the market to take a look at him.
He didn’t have much hope because although the female doctor had saved him from the brink of death, it didn’t mean she could cure his illness.
After all, his condition was already very severe, and even the hospitals couldn’t treat him.
As he watched TV, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.
He was about to ask his son when the doctor would arrive when he saw an unfamiliar but beautiful face.
It was a woman.
Could it be the female doctor?
She visited their home so quickly!
What request had his son agreed to?
In just a few seconds, the old man had numerous thoughts running through his mind.
If Bai Jiang knew what he was thinking, she would surely burst into laughter.
“Hello, Sir. My surname is Bai. I’m here to treat you. Please extend your hand so I can examine it,” Bai Jiang said as soon as she sat down.
In fact, when she treated the old man at the market, she had already checked his pulse. However, due to the urgency of the situation, she couldn’t examine him thoroughly.
Now that the situation was not as critical, she could take her time to observe his pulse.
