Xiao Min arranged the chair for the doctor close to Yuyan's bed so he could check and talk to her.
The doctor examined Jiang Yuyan as she let him do it like an obedient girl. The doctor sat in the chair, and Xiao Min handed over Jiang Yuyan's medical record file. The doctor wrote something into it.
Xiao Min again handed him over the big-size white envelope, which had a hospital logo on it. "These are the latest blood test results."
The doctor accepted it and opened to check the reports while hearing the blood test reports words; Jiang Yuyan just glared at Xiao Min.
"Cough!" Xiao Min looked away as he knew why she glared at him.
A few days back, Xiao Min literally had to drag her to get blood tests done when she was adamant about not doing it.
"Did you manage to get it easily this time?" the doctor asked, smiling lightly as he went through the reports.
Xiao Min didn't dare to look at Jiang Yuyan and replied, "Boss was obedient this time."
"Obedient? My ass," Jiang Yuyan mumbled while frowning.
The other three presents in the room heard it and suppressed laughing at it. They were the few fortunate people who could see this side of her and liked it.
The doctor didn't look pleased with the result and shook his head lightly in disappointment as he kept going through the reports. He looked at Jiang Yuyan worriedly, who looked outside of the window as if she was not interested in what was going on and didn't wish others to bother her.
The doctor looked at Xiao Min, and he asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"How is her daily routine? Still can't sleep?" the doctor asked.
"Entire day working and about sleep…" Xiao Min looked at Jiang Yuyan.
Jiang Yuyan sensed his gaze on her and looked at him coldly, "Now are you planning to sleep in my room to check if I sleep or not?"
"Then the boss should answer the doctor honestly," Xiao Min countered.
"I sleep," she replied and looked back at the window to see outside.
"Nightmares?" the doctor asked.
"None," she replied firmly, but the other two didn't believe her.
The doctor looked into the file and spoke, "When was the last time President Lu got her periods?"
"I don't remember," she replied.
The doctor looked at Xiao Min, and he replied, "More than two months passed by. I have mentioned the date there."
The doctor looked at where Xiao Min pointed and spoke, "President Lu, this is really not going well. It would be best if you took care of yourself. Not having periods for this long….."
"It's fine. Anyways they are troublesome and cause me pain," she countered.
"But….."
She looked at the doctor, her sight colder than usual, and interrupted him, "Does the doctor love to see me in pain?"
"No, president Lu. Even if it's painful, I have prescribed the medicines."
"Doesn't work on me," she replied, again turning to look at the window.
The doctor had nothing to say to her and looked at Xiao Min, "Is she taking medicines on time?"
Xiao Min nodded, "I personally give it to her."
"President Lu, is there still a pain in the chest?" he asked.
"No."
"What was the extent of pain?"
"It was nothing," she replied.
The doctor could only look at Xiao Min again to get the right answer.
"It doesn't look like always. She could bear it a bit. Maybe sixty percent from other times," Xiao Min replied and added, "She took four tablets at a time."
The doctor pressed his temples, "This way, medicines will stop working on you."
Jiang Yuyan didn't reply, and Xiao Min asked, "What can we do about it? It didn't happen for the last six months but suddenly happened twice in these two months."
"What did the other doctor say? He can advise you better than me," the doctor suggested.
"He is out of the city, but I have informed him about today. He will visit once he is back," Xiao Min replied.
The doctor nodded and suggested, "She is getting weaker day by day; if this continues, it will only cause great harm."
Jiang Yuyan didn't even pay attention while Xiao Min asked, "What should we do?"
"I'll suggest isolating her from work, only resting and focusing on the treatment," said the doctor.
"If you all are done, I would like to sleep," Jiang Yuyan interrupted them.
The doctor looked at the wristwatch and agreed, "It's late. President Lu should sleep," and stood up.
Xiao Min escorted them out of the room. As they reached downstairs, Xiao Min bowed to the doctor apologetically for his boss's behavior.
The doctor patted Xiao Min's shoulder, "No need. Being her doctor, I know better what she is going through, and we should not mind what she says. Her pain is more than what we can imagine."
Xiao Min agreed as he looked sad, "It's difficult to see her in pain and lifeless like this. I don't know when all this will end. For the past nine years, there is no change, and it's only getting worse. Is there really no solution?"
"We are trying, but it also depends on how she responds to the treatment. It's like she has already given up on herself and doesn't want to end it."
"What can we do then?"
"Wait for the miracle which would pour life into this lifeless flower," the doctor replied.
It was not a satisfying answer, but no one knows what to do for her.
"I doubt," said Xiao Min disappointingly.
"Just believe, don't doubt," said the doctor as he was ready to leave.
The doctor left, and Xiao Min sat on the sofa as he looked helpless.
The butler came to him, "She would be fine."
"I hope so," Xiao Min sat burying his face in his palm, and he leaned forward. "I don't know what I should do to make her feel better."
"You are already doing your best. No one can take care of her the way you do." said the butler.
Xiao Min didn't reply, and the butler asked again, "On Saturday, are you going there?"
Xiao Min nodded, "How can I not?"
"Greet him on my behalf too," said the butler.
Xiao Min nodded and informed, " I'll ask San Zemin to be here."
"Don't worry. We will take care of her," the butler assured.
