"Yes, yes... I thought this neck pain would stay with me until I retire." Nanxing's mother said to Xiaobai with surprise, "Little boy, your massage technique just now... was amazing! You cured my neck in such a short time! You'd be a massage master in our hospital!"

"Hehe, it's alright." Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly. "Actually, my massage skills aren't that great."

"Wow, that's amazing!" At this moment, Nanxing's mother no longer wanted to resist. Looking at Xiaobai's cute and humble appearance, she really wanted to hug Xiaobai tightly and love her dearly.

wrong.

Why even think about it?

Nanxing's mother pulled Xiaobai into her arms, rubbing her head gently with a smile.

"Little friend, you've really helped me out! My neck feels so much better now, and I'm sure I'll live a few more years!"

"Thank you, Auntie... but my massage probably isn't that effective..." Xiaobai enjoyed Nanxing's mother's affection, "but I'm satisfied as long as Auntie feels comfortable!"

Nanxing's mother smiled and released Xiaobai, looking at Xiaobai with a happy expression.

Nanxing's mother is finding Xiaobai more and more pleasing to the eye these days.

She suddenly found Xiaobai increasingly adorable—her smooth, fair, and delicate face, her bright, sparkling eyes, her small, nimble hands and fingers, her light and graceful body, and her polite yet shy demeanor…

Oh my god.

I feel like I want to treat her like my own daughter.

"Did you give my daughter the massage just now?" Nanxing's mother suddenly asked.

"Huh? Is that Sister Nanxing? No..." Xiaobai shook her head and replied.

"I see..." Nanxing's mother breathed a sigh of relief and said with a complicated look, "You two will be spending a lot of time together in the future, so listen to me, in the future... unless it's absolutely necessary, or she has some kind of chronic illness, it's best not to use it on her."

"Eh?"

"May I?"

“Yes, yes…” Xiaobai nodded.

Chapter 3370 Let her out!!

"Thank you so much, Auntie."

Nanxing's mother hugged Xiaobai again, patted her back, and said with a smile.

Xiaobai felt a little strange feeling as Nanxing's mother hugged her. After thinking for a while, she reached out and hugged Nanxing's mother's back.

Ok……

Although I don't understand why the aunt wanted me not to massage Sister Nanxing...

But judging from the current atmosphere, the aunt's affection for her should have increased quite a bit, right?

Ah!

In that case, everything goes smoothly!

Xiao Bai thought about it and nodded confidently.

Xiaobai and Nanxing's mother had tea and chatted for a while in the office. About half an hour later, Nanxing's mother glanced at her watch and spoke to Xiaobai.

"Little friend, it's almost time. We can go to your uncle's place now."

"Has Uncle finished seeing all his patients?" Xiaobai asked.

“I don’t know, but it’s rest time now.” Nanxing’s mother stood up and said to Xiaobai, “When he’s so busy that there seems to be no end in sight, he chooses to rest for half an hour every six hours.”

"Oh...okay..." Xiaobai nodded quickly.

Nanxing's mother took Xiaobai and left the office, returning to the Deep Sea Infectious Diseases Department, to the door of the outpatient room where Nanxing's father was.

Just as the two returned, Xiaobai finally saw that the door to the consultation room had been opened.

The two arrived at the consultation room, only to find no patients, but a middle-aged man in a white coat. The man was lying on the table, as quiet as a high school student taking every opportunity to sleep during a break.

Perhaps because the two footsteps were approaching, the man moved and slowly raised his head.

What appeared in Xiaobai's eyes was Nanxing's father's face, which looked much more haggard than yesterday, and his bloodshot eyes hidden behind his glasses.

"You...? This isn't..."

Nanxing's father looked at Xiaobai, then at Nanxing's mother, his expression somewhat surprised.

"Dr. Nan, she's here to see you," Nan Xing's mother said to Nan Xing's father as she led Xiao Bai in.

Xiao Bai met Nan Xing's father's eyes, quickly bowed, and explained his purpose in a fast and respectful manner.

After hearing Xiaobai's words, Nanxing's father finally managed a forced smile.

"Haha, I see. You're so thoughtful," Nanxing's father said with a smile. "Actually, you could have just made a phone call, or at least had Nanxing pass on a message. But it was still very polite. Not bad, not bad."

Xiao Bai nodded quickly upon hearing Nanxing's father's voice.

"Then Uncle... I... I won't disturb your rest anymore," Xiaobai said.

"Okay, I'll lie down for a while," Nanxing's father nodded in agreement.

Nanxing once told Xiaobai that doctors' work is very tiring, so when Xiaobai goes to say hello, it's best not to take up too much of her rest time.

After Xiaobai finished speaking, he made a move to back away.

Nanxing's mother smiled and pulled Xiaobai back.

“Little friend, your uncle is too tired and wants to rest a little longer. Don’t blame him for being cold. If you want to stay a little longer, go to the office we were in before and wait for me. We’ll have dinner together tonight when we’re free,” Nanxing’s mother said. “If you’re busy, don’t worry about us. Go back to Nanxing’s place first. We’ll call you when we’re done here.”

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Auntie." Xiaobai nodded repeatedly.

Nanxing's mother smiled and patted Xiaobai on the shoulder.

Xiaobai left the room.

Nanxing's mother didn't come out; she stayed in the room. She went up to Nanxing's mother, stretched her shoulders, and massaged her temples.

Quiet discussions arose.

"finished?"

"not yet."

"Is this case a bit difficult?"

"Hmm... the situation is very serious, but we haven't been able to find the source of the pollution after searching for a long time... we can't delay any longer."

"Okay, take some time to rest. Let me massage you."

"Okay... Call me in fifteen minutes. I need to pick up a film and have a meeting with the pollution department."

"I'll get it for you."

"..."

Xiao Bai overheard some of Nanxing's parents' conversation before leaving the room.

She paused for a moment, lost in thought.

Is the deep-sea infection that Nanxing's father encountered this time... really that serious?

As Xiao Bai pondered this, a thought suddenly struck her, and she began to move again.

In the corridor of the deep-sea infectious disease department, the deep-sea scent in the air is still faint.

To Xiaobai, this faint deep-sea scent was like a thin rope floating in mid-air. Following the rope, she found the innermost private room in the deep-sea infectious disease ward.

Standing outside the ward, Xiaobai listened intently. The ward was quiet, with only the occasional hoarse sob of a woman.

That voice... sounds familiar.

Xiaobai had heard this sound before outside Nanxing's father's clinic.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai tentatively placed her hand on the door and gently pushed it open.

The ward door wasn't locked, and Xiaobai pushed it open easily.

The scenery inside the ward came into Xiaobai's view.

This is a single hospital room. Lying on the bed in the room is a withered and thin man who looks like he has been through many hardships. An IV stand stands outside the window, with several transparent tubes connected to the man's arm through the IV drip.

The man in the hospital bed appeared to be in a daze.

Beside the hospital bed, a middle-aged woman who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old was sitting in a chair, covering her eyes and crying incessantly.

Seemingly hearing the sound of the ward door opening, the middle-aged woman turned around and looked towards the ward doorway.

The middle-aged woman's eyes were filled with hope amidst despair, but when she saw that the person who pushed open the door was just a petite girl who seemed to be young and had not yet entered society, the light in the middle-aged woman's eyes disappeared again. She didn't even ask who Xiaobai was, but turned around and covered her face to continue crying.

The air was filled with a heartbreaking atmosphere of parting.

Xiao Bai gently touched the door and walked into the ward to the bedside.

The man lying on the bed had dark skin—but this dark skin wasn't caused by the deep-sea atmosphere; rather, it was likely due to the sun and wind that had gradually tanned him.

The muscles on the man's exposed arms were sunken, and his skin seemed to have a honeycomb-like callus that shimmered faintly.

Xiao Bai withdrew her gaze from the man.

Those few brief glances were enough for Xiaobai to judge the man's condition.

Hmm... it is indeed quite serious.

If the patients we encountered here before were only at a superficial level of deep-sea aura infection... then the person we're meeting now has a deep-sea aura infection that's gone beyond mild and is slightly closer to moderate.

The level of infection from this deep-sea aura wasn't actually that high in Xiaobai's eyes.

Among the people Xiaobai had come into contact with, the Haoding Admiral who stayed beyond the time limit in Chapter 8, and the old father of the little girl Yu Gan, were both more influenced by the deep-sea aura than he was.

Is a deep-sea aura infection that's only close to moderate level... already a severity that human medicine can't solve?

Hey……

The more I learn about medicine, the more I realize how fragile life truly is.

Xiao Bai sighed inwardly, but her hands didn't stop. She walked directly to the table next to her, turned her back to the woman who was still crying softly, and secretly opened her ship equipment space, taking out a special brush and special ink.

Xiao Bai, holding a calligraphy brush in one hand and ink in the other, returned to the woman's side.

"Auntie..." Xiaobai called out.

To be honest, when Xiaobai called out the word "Auntie," she felt a little awkward.

Just a few minutes ago, she was still using that term to address Nanxing's mother.

Nanxing's mother was probably of the same generation as the middle-aged woman in front of her who had suffered hardship, but Nanxing's mother still looked young and beautiful, full of vigor and vitality, like a mature woman in her thirties, with no obvious signs of aging on her body.

The middle-aged woman by the hospital bed was different. Perhaps due to an unpleasant life, she aged earlier than her peers, giving her a poignant and frail appearance.

Hearing Xiaobai's call, the middle-aged woman slowly raised her head, looking at Xiaobai with tears streaming down her face.

Xiao Bai tried his best to show the woman a gentle expression.

"Auntie... I can cure your family."

"..."

"Auntie, could you hold this for me?" Xiaobai handed the ink bottle to the middle-aged woman.

Looking at Xiaobai's detached demeanor, her healthy complexion, and her soft, delicate hands that seemed untouched by suffering, the middle-aged woman's eyes were instantly filled with grief and indignation.

"Where are you from? Get out of here!" the middle-aged woman cried out in a hoarse voice, tears streaming down her face. "This isn't a place for you to play!!"

"Auntie, I'm here to help you," Xiaobai said gently.

"Doctor!! Doctor!! Where are the nurses?!" The middle-aged woman ignored Xiaobai and screamed at the ward door in a near-collapse, "How can just anyone come in? What's wrong with your hospital! Take her away!!!"

The middle-aged woman's cries were shrill and desperate.

Xiao Bai quickly reached out and gently stroked the middle-aged woman's hand.

"Auntie, please calm down, please calm down, I really came here to help you."

As Xiaobai spoke, the Admiral's network effect emanated, calming the woman's emotions.

To Xiaobai's slight surprise, her Admiral Network had absolutely no effect on the woman in front of her after it was released.

Xiaobai's network of admirals has limited effect on ordinary humans; all she can do is guide emotions. It seems that this middle-aged woman's emotions at this moment, at least, are in a state of complete and irreversible collapse.

Xiaobai was in a bit of a dilemma.

Just as Xiaobai was in a dilemma, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the ward, following the shrill screams of a woman.

Soon, several nurses rushed in.
