After eating five biscuits, Chen Lina finally slowed down her eating speed. She wiped away the debris from her lips and asked hoarsely, "What do you want me to do?"
Seeing her defensive tone, the doctor smiled and said, "Comrade Chen, I’m here to help you, not to get anything from you."
Chen Lina narrowed her eyes and said, "I don’t need any help."
"Well, in that case, let’s go through the formalities. I will ask some questions and I hope you can answer them truthfully," the doctor said with a smile.
Opening the folder, the doctor asked, "Comrade, can you tell me your name?"
After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "Chen Lina."
"How old are you this year?" the doctor asked again.
Although Chen Lina didn’t know why the doctor asked, she still said, "I’m 29 years old this year."
For ten minutes, the doctor asked simple and unimportant questions. Unconsciously, Chen Lina let down her guard and became relaxed. She answered questions while eating cookies as if she was in her own house.
After filling out the form, the doctor looked at her and said, "Sister Chen, I heard from the guard that you have a son and a daughter. Is it true?"
Chen Lina frowned and asked her, "What does it have to do with you?"
The doctor smiled and said, "I can’t believe someone as young and beautiful as you has a 12-year-old daughter. You look to be in your early twenties."
Chen Lina was stunned by her words. Although the doctor is already middle-aged, she is still beautiful and elegant. So, being praised by someone like the doctor made her happy.
She raised her chin, with obvious disdain in her eyes and tone, "That bitch is not my daughter. My daughter died before she was born."
The doctor looked shocked and embarrassed when she said, "Sister Chen, I’m sorry to ask this question. You must have been very sad at that time."
Chen Lina waved her hand and said, "It doesn’t matter. She’s just a girl, there’s nothing to be sad about. If she’s dead then she’s dead."
"Sister Chen, if you don’t feel sad about losing your daughter, why do you want to exchange your baby with other people’s?" the doctor asked doubtfully.
At this time, Chen Lina felt that this doctor was just as curious as those gossipers in Xie Village. She never expected that the doctor would learn about her mental health through these simple chats.
After experiencing a day of hunger, she already regarded the doctor as someone close to her when she gave her delicious biscuits and water. What’s more, the doctor kept calling her Sister Chen which made her happy.
