After helping her niece lie down and covering her with a thin quilt, Han Yuluo and the doctor walk out of the ward.
Standing outside the ward, he asked, "Doctor, I want to take my niece to the city for treatment. Can I ask for a letter of recommendation?"
Doctor Yu nodded and said, "Of course. Comrade, the government has a donation project to help patients’ families pay for treatment. I can ask my teacher to write a letter of recommendation to you. You can use this letter to get government donations."
Hearing this, Han Yuluo was extremely grateful and said, "Thank you doctor for your help."
"I’m happy to be able to help Liling. Although the government can subsidize the expenses, the treatment will be very difficult. So, I hope you can stay with Liling, give her moral support, and encourage her to continue with the treatment. Will she be able to fully recover or not will depend on treatment," Doctor Yu said.
"I will pay more attention to this matter." Han Yuluo nodded.
"As for her mental condition, you may need to see a pediatric psychiatrist to help her overcome the trauma. I have contacted my friend and told him about Liling’s situation before but I haven’t gotten any response yet. I will give you his contact information so you can contact him directly," Doctor Yu added.
After hearing his words this time, Han Yuluo was silent for a while and then said, "I understand. Thank you, Doctor Yu."
After explaining in more detail regarding Han Liling’s condition, Doctor Yu left to check on other patients.
Back in the ward, Han Yuluo saw his niece chewing something, her cheeks bulging like a squirrel and she looked cute. After not seeing her for a month, she seemed to have lost weight.
He sat on the chair next to the bed and asked, "Liling, are you eating?"
Han Liling pointed to the bamboo basket on the bedside table, "Ah...ah."
Han Yuluo took the bamboo basket and opened the lid. Seeing fruit slices, puff pastry cakes, and steamed buns. These foods looked familiar to him and he asked in surprise, "Liling, is this made by Jueyu?"
Han Liling nodded, took another piece of pastry and ate it.
Han Yuluo looked at her with a smile and said nothing. He recalled the food Lu Jueyu gave him back then, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he no longer felt sad or regretful about missing her. On the contrary, when he thought of food, what came to his mind was Huan Yuanfeng’s simple home cooking.
After hesitating for a while, he said, "Liling, uncle is coming back to take you to the city. You can get better treatment in the city. Do you want to come with me?"
Han Liling was stunned when she heard what he said. She wanted to run away from home, but when she had the chance, she couldn’t help but think of her brother. Would he be okay if she left?
Han Yuluo noticed her hesitation and asked, "What’s wrong, Liling? Don’t you want to come with me?"
Han Liling shook her head and fell silent. She knew she was sick because she couldn’t speak even if she wanted to. Therefore, she must go with her uncle to get better. But with only a weak mother, can she protect her younger brother?
She was worried.
