Chapter 1385: Two appointments.
Li Xue stared at the little head at the door and then her lips curled up in a small smile. She doesn’t know why but the expressions of WeiWei always amused her. Especially the one she makes while pouting her lips out.Li Xue stared at the little one and then gestured to her to come closer.
WeiWei, always being obedient to her Mama’s words, nodded and walked inside the room. “Mama, you said that I need not to be sick. You will stay with me if I want to.”
Although the words were of complaint, the way Li Wei put it together with her sweet voice, it sounded very pleasing to Li Xue’s ears.
Getting on her knees, Li Xue paralleled herself to the height of the little girl. Then pulling her close, she held both of her hands in a convincing way and asked, “Do you think Mama lied?”
Little Li Wei stared at her mother and then pondering a bit, she shook her head.
“Then why do you think I am leaving?”
“Mama, WeiWei knows that it’s wrong to hear someone else’s conversation but mistakenly, I overheard yours. And you said you are going somewhere.”
Li Xue smiled and nodded. “Yes, sweetie. I am going somewhere but who said that I won’t come back to you?”
The little one furrowed her brows and Li Xue cupped her cheeks, gently patting it to say, “I am not going anywhere leaving you, dear. I am just visiting the doctor to get checked. Once I am done there, I will come back to you. Will you not wait for me until then?”
“Mama, are you feeling unwell?” Hearing her mother say something about visiting the doctor, a layer of worry covered her face. Blinking her eyes, she gazed at her minutely, checking her expressions to find if there was something wrong with her or not.
Li Xue noted her actions and smiled before shaking her head to say, “I am fine, baby. It’s just a regular checkup. Plus, I was feeling unwell in the morning. Since I will be staying with you, it would be better if I got myself checked. If there is some virus, I better not affect you.”
Little WeiWei nodded understandingly. Then putting a small smile on her lips, she leaned forward to wrap her arms around her neck. “Mama, WeiWei will stay at home and wait for you. Go, and get yourself checked. Don’t get scared in front of the doctors and also ask him to give you less bitter medicines.”
“Less bitter medicines?” Li Xue asked, wrinkling her brows with some confusion.
To which WeiWei nodded. “Yes, Mama. Bitter medicines can make you vomit again. And if you keep on vomiting, how will you get better?”
Li Xue couldn’t control her laughter. “Haha … Fine, fine, I will request the doctor to give me sweet medicines. Will that be okay?”
“How can that be okay, Mama?” WeiWei at once shook her head. “Don’t ask the doctor for too much. Sweet medicines don’t work well. To get better soon, one should depend on the bitter ones. So, don’t ask the doctors to get too liberal, okay?”
“Okay, my little grandma. I got it. I will take slightly extra bitter medicines and get better soon. Until then, you stay at home and study well. I will go and come back soon, okay?” Li Xue spoke, before getting back to her height.
WeiWei looked up at her mother and hummed before nodding. Finding her cute like that, Li Xue quickly leaned and then left.
On her way out, she received a call from Shen Bingling. “Hello, Bingling. Did you get it?” She received the call and asked.
“Yes, my dear. The reports are in my hand. It wasn’t as tough as I thought it to be. Don’t worry, you reach the hospital. I will get there soon as well.” From the other end of the call, Shen Bingling spoke.
Li Xue was about to ask her not to bother coming there on her own, but then remembering the stubborn princess character of the girl, she omitted her thoughts and hummed instead. “Okay. Then I will be waiting for you there. Drive slow and come fast.” She said and then disconnected the call.
Then getting into the car, she drove away. Soon, she reached the hospital and walked to the receptionist. “Hello. I received the call from here earlier. It’s regarding my scheduled appointment with the psychiatrist.”
The receptionist looked up and gaped with surprise. “Li Xue! Are you really Li Xue?” She asked, almost forgetting her professionalism.
Li Xue found it awkward but still nodded to her. Then looking around she sighed with relief. No one heard the receptionist, otherwise, the scandal full of speculations would have stirred. “I am in a bit of a hurry. Can you check the time of my appointment?”
She asked and coughing a bit, the receptionist nodded before looking at the computer to check. “I am sorry, Ma’am. I will just check.”
After a moment, her brows furrowed and staring up at Li Xue, she said, “Ma’am, you have got two appointments today. One with Dr. Kane and the other with Dr. Ning.”
Li Xue frowned. “Dr. Ning. I don’t remember setting an appointment with him. I think you have mistaken.”
The receptionist checked again and shook her head. “Nope, Ma’am. I searched your name in the list and there are two appointments. The other one is set by Ms. Feng.”
“Ms. Feng? Do you mean Feng Yi Lan?” Li Xue asked and the receptionist looked at the screen and nodded with a smile.
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Li Xue pursed her lips, understanding what would have happened. It was not that hard to get. It must be the work of Feng Shufen. Rushing out desperately earlier, he must have asked Feng Yi Lan to help him out.
Li Xue shook her head and then looking at the receptionist, she said, “I see. Thank you for letting me know. But right now, I am here for my appointment with Dr. Kane. Please cancel the appointment with Dr. Ning. I will visit her next time.”
The receptionist checked the screen and smiled. “But Ma’am, you can manage both of them today since you are here. Dr. Ning is waiting for you in her cabin while there is still time for Dr. Kane. He is busy with another patient at the moment and will require another half an hour.”
Hearing her, Li Xue checked the time on her watch. Shen Bingling was yet to arrive and since there was still time, she nodded thinking about it for a moment. “Fine then. I will go to Dr. Ning first. Can you tell me where her cabin is? I am not sure of the direction here.”
“Yes, Ma’am. You can go straight from her before taking a left.” The receptionist smiled and there was something odd in that curl of her lips. Li Xue could feel it but she couldn’t put a finger on it.
Giving a nod to her, she turned and walked in the direction. While walking, she texted Shen Bingling. ‘I am in the hospital. Let me know when you get here.’
