“It’s daddy’s fault for making you sick; I didn’t take good care of you.

-Actually, I always wanted to be a good kid… I really didn’t mean to vomit; I just couldn’t describe that awful feeling.”

-I’ve always wanted to be a good kid, and I know that if Tang Daye’s daughter has a mental illness, it would disgrace you. But I can’t control it, I’m sorry,

Dad…”

Tang Daye never imagined the inner struggle of his daughter, so he hugged her and patted her, “It’s okay, it’s okay. We’ll go see a doctor together, and Daddy will definitely cure you.”

“Admitting the illness, facing the illness, and willing to accompany is the best foundation for successful treatment. Congratulations, you both can now proceed to the next phase of treatment.”

Accompanied by a calm professional voice, Lily and Tang Daye looked to the side to see Xiao Qian standing at their booth, extending her hand to Tang Daye.

-Let me formally introduce myself; I am Psychologist Chen Xiaoqian. Are you willing to let me officially treat your daughter?”

-You’ve arranged all this in advance?” asked Tang Daye, with Lily still crying in

his arms.

-Yes, anorexia nervosa treatment must be accompanied by a parent. Are you

both ready?”

Lily and Tang Daye exchanged a glance. Lily nodded, and Tang Daye could only extend his hand.

“Please take care of my daughter, Dr. Chen.”

“Treatments will be held once a week, and both of you must attend. When not undergoing treatment, Director Tang must accompany Shuixian for her meals and not let her eat alone. I’ll prescribe appropriate medications to assist in her treatment, which may take some time. When her condition improves, we will reduce treatment to once a month until she’s fully recovered. Oh right, my consultation fee is 10,000 yuan per hour.”

Xiao Qian raised her eyebrow at Lily, who broke into a smile.

“You’re even more cunning than my dad.”

“No, I am a doctor, not a businessman.”

“Can we get a discount?”

-Are you sure you want a discount? I’m a very principled doctor. My patients are either filthy rich or my friends. Which are you?” Xiao Qian asked cunningly.

Lily realized that Xiao Qian was setting a trap for her.

“Friends, then.” But she was willing to jump into this trap.

“Alright, then no need for any fees. We’re friends, after all,” Xiao Qian winked, and Lily hugged her.

“Thank you, Xiao Qian.”

Xiao Qian patted her.

In a low voice, Lily whispered in Xiao Qians ear, “Ill text you whenever my dad’s investing or buying stocks.”

Great, Xiao Qian smiled even brighter, satisfied as she patted Lily’s back.

“Friends, we’re all friends. Nice doing business with you. You know my

number.”

This was much more valuable than any consultation fee. Friends, after all, have priceless access to information resources.

Tang Daye shook his head, “1 see it now; you’ve roped my daughter into this.” Xiao Qian looked up at him, “It seems you still owe me 80.5 yuan, Old Tang.”

“Haha, I see my mistake, you’ve roped both of us in.”

But, at least they were in good hands.

Not far away, Eldest Sister-in-law was wiping away her tears in the car. The scene was so touching that it moved her to tears.

Turning her head, she saw Eldest Brother pounding his chest.

The three kids in the back seat had fallen asleep, exhausted from playing.

“Big Fox, what are you doing?”

“Thank heavens! My deal and my money! Xiao Qian did a great job!” Realizing his wife’s disdainful gaze, Eldest Brother cleared his throat and returned to his normal state.

“Of course, money is not more important than family. I promised Xiao Qian I’d accompany you for a week. Tell me, madam, where do you want to go on vacation? I’m all ears.”

“Shameless! Cunning as a fox!”

Xiao Qian’s treatment was very effective.

Due to their excellent initial foundation, Lily only needed two psychotherapy sessions before she could eat a small amount of food and vomited less frequently.

From vomiting once a day to feeling nauseous once every three days, it only took a week for Lily to stop vomiting altogether.

Eldest Brother successfuUy closed his deal while Jia Xiufang started looking for a team to prepare for the demolition and recycling of construction materials after the holidays. Everyone was busy and excited in their roles.

However, Xiao Qian was becoming more and more suffocated and irritable. One reason was that her period was approaching, which always made her irritable.

Another reason was that there had been no news from Yu Minglang. To make matters worse, Xiao Qian caught a bad cold just as the treatment was starting to take effect.

She had been receiving intravenous infusions for three days but still felt groggy. When Lily came to find Xiao Qian, she was shocked to see a vigorous Xiao Qian turned into a listless panda.

-My dear doctor, what happened to you these three days since we last met? Have you also developed anorexia?” Lily pinched Xiao Qian’s thin face. With a cold, Xiao Qian had no appetite or energy, but she continued to treat Lily’s anorexia diligently while struggling with her own sleep-deprived brain. Xiao Qian took out a tissue and forcefully blew her nose, which astonished Lily.

“So, even you have your crude moments!

Lily had thought that Xiao Qian would always remain calm and elegant, possessing the mental strength to remain unfazed even in the face of great difficulties. Even when facing Old Tang, a wealthy tycoon, she was fearless and assertive. Now, Xiao Qian calls him ‘Old Tang’ without any fear. Old Tang doesn’t dare to get angry.

With a nasal voice, Xiao Qian said, “I’m not a deity. Try to blow your nose elegantly for me.”

She had a peculiar cold, where it produced an excessive amount of mucus just before she got better. Whenever she went through a roll of tissue, her cold would be almost over.

Naughty Chen Zilong gave Xiao Qian a nickname these days – ‘Little Snot Can,’ only to be chased under the bed by Xiao Qian with a feather duster.

“Alas, poor sweetheart, let me take you out for dinner?

“No way! I won’t go. As a patient recovering from anorexia, you definitely have an ulterior motive for inviting me!” Xiao Qian was still sharp-witted, despite her cold.

-Don’t be like that; we’re friends, after all. Come with me!” Lily clung to Xiao Qian’s hand.

Xiao Qian slapped her hand away, “Who are you to call me a friend? I am a doctor, and as a patient, our next therapy session is not yet due. Don’t get too close to me; it might affect your treatment. I’m going back to bed; my head feels so dizzy.”

Seeing she couldn’t fool Xiao Qian, Lily hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, “Xiao Qian, you have to help me. You are the only friend I have! How can I go by myself? Please just accompany me!”

“Lily Tang, do you know what a saying from the north is? ‘It’s hard for one to learn good, but easy to learn bad,’ and it perfectly describes you! Look at when I first met you; you were such a fresh-faced and righteous successor of Socialism.. But in just a few days, you’re trying to drag a sick person like me to a blind date? Where’s your conscience, where’s your integrity?”
