“Then let’s get up now. My mom must have prepared a lot of delicious food. We better eat them before they get cold.”
Saying this, Yaffe Qin sits up with Wiphy in her arms and runs joyfully into the bathroom.
Because of her sudden action, Wiphy has to round her neck with his short arms.
Yaffe Qin has already placed Wiphy’s private toiletries on the shower shelf last night.
She takes down the small cup, toothbrush and toothpaste for children in Wiphy’s hands.
Then, she turns to take hers.
Judging from Wiphy’s usual behavior, Yaffe Qin believes that Wiphy is kind of premature compared with other children of the same age.
The most distinguished feature of this little guy is that he doesn’t like to be treated as a child.
Yaffe Qin doesn’t intend to draw his attention by doing everything for him.
Sure enough, taking his cup, he consciously squeezes toothpaste and brushes his teeth.
After getting washed up, Yaffe Qin takes Wiphy back to the bed and asks,” Can you get yourself dressed?”
Wiphy nods.
Yaffe Qin kisses his little cheek, and then goes to check his two small suitcases.
Wiphy’s face is flushed, feeling a little ill at ease.
Yaffe Qin searches for a while until she sees a suit of hoodies with Winnie the Pooh on it. She takes it out and says to Wiphy, “It is a fine day. How about wearing this suit?”
Glancing at the silly and childish clothes, Wiphy gives a nod reluctantly, and arduously puts them on.
When they go downstairs, Monismith Lo is busy in the kitchen and Yannick Qin is watering the flowers on the balcony.
“Good morning, mom, dad.”
“You got up already?” Monismith Lo smiles while setting the table.
Wiphy turns the mini-pad to Monismith Lo, which reads “Grandpa and Grandma, good morning.”
Looking at those words and then Wiphy’s cute face, Monismith Lo’s eyes blurs as she thinks of his situation. “Good morning, darling. Come on. Breakfast is ready. Comrade Yannick Qin, your little grandson said hello to you. And you better get yourself in the dining room right now. Don’t you dare to keep my dear grandson waiting any longer.”
“Coming.” Yannick Qin says as he walks towards table and smiles at Wiphy,” Did you sleep well?”
Wiphy writes on the pad:” Yes, very well.”
“That’s good. And feel free to come over again if you want to at any time.”
“Thanks. Grandpa.”
In a harmonious atmosphere, they finish their breakfast and Yaffe Qin is going to work.
Seeing that, Wiphy insists to go with Yaffe Qin to the hospital.
Yaffe Qin doesn’t refuse for his insistence.
But she worries that Wiphy’s weak immunity would get himself be easily infected in the hospital. So she texts Quinn He to ask his opinion through Wechat.
Yaffe Qin: Mr. He, Wiphy wants to go to the hospital with me. What do you say?
It takes a while before Quinn He replies,” Let him be with you.”
Looking at the irresponsible words, Yaffe Qin rolls her eyes at him in her mind and drives to the hospital.

As soon as she arrives at her office, Anne gazes at Wiphy with great interest.
Yaffe Qin puts Wiphy in her place and says,” Anne, can you please keep an eye on him for me today?”
“No problem, Qin. You can totally trust me with this.”
Yaffe Qin worriedly looks at her curious assistant and tells her in a low voice, “He is different. Don’t touch him. Got it?”
Anne appears confused but still nodded blankly.
Seeing this, Yaffe Qin thinks there is no way that she could work normally.
Until noon, Yaffe Qin sees her patients as usual. Wiphy doesn’t affect her work too much and spends most of the time on sitting quietly on the small bed next to her with his mini-pad.
Except occasionally asking for water or going to restroom, Wiphy is more like an invisible person and incredibly well-behaved.
After having lunch, Yaffe Qin takes Wiphy to the staff dormitory of the hospital.
According to her qualifications, she couldn’t have a separate small apartment. But due to a small number of doctors with postgraduate degree in Youndgon Hospital, the welfare for these doctors in Youndgon is better than in other hospitals of the same level.
Yaffe Qin takes Wiphy’s soft little hand and gets inside her small apartment,” I have to work this afternoon. So we can only have a rest here. Is that okay for you?”
Looking around those simple pieces of furniture in this apartment, Wiphy nods his head.
Then, yawning sleepily, he takes off shoes and turns in.
Yaffe Qin touches the quilt and feels that the quilt is a bit cold. So she turns on the electric blanket until the bed gets warm. Then she turns it off and also goes to bed.

In a daze, Yaffe Qin is awakened by the phone ringing.
“Hello.” She answers the phone at once.
“Qin, the families of a yesterday’s emergency patient are making troubles now.” Anne is about to cry, so the problem is obviously sort of tricky.
“Calm down, and speak slowly.” Yaffe Qin says while putting on clothes with one hand.
“They said that our wrong treatment and ‘malicious’ delay have caused irreparable trauma to that patient. Now that the director is not in the hospital, so we have to deal with this problem.
“Don’t worry. I will be right there.” Hanging up the phone, Yaffe Qin looks at Wiphy’s face. Then she takes his mini-pad, and types a line on it to tell him that gives her a call when he wakes up. After setting the pad to always mode, she rushes out the door.

Yaffe Qin runs to the in-patient building only to find all elevators are occupied. Therefore she turns directly to the exit passageway.
As approaching to the floor where her office is located, she already hears noise from there.
Just from that noise, she could tell what a mess there is.
“You quacks, look what you have done to my son! Can you only see money in your eyes? Where is your damn conscience? How could a 15-year-old child live on like this? How could my whole family take this?” from the hall comes a heart-breaking female voice.
Along with this voice is the sound of chaos.
After taking a deep breath, Yaffe Qin opens the door of the exit passageway. She queries coldly:” What are you doing here? If you have anything to say, then tell me. Please don’t affect other patients!”
Anne suddenly breathes a sigh of relief when she hears Yaffe Qin’s voice.
The appearance of Yaffe Qin gives the hall a moment of quiet.
The middle-aged woman who tore with several nurses before turns to pounce on Yaffe Qin .
“It’s you, you with no medical ethic. It’s you that destroyed my son. This isn’t over!”
Yaffe Qin calmly looks at the woman who rushes towards her.
Amidst the exclamation of others, she firmly holds the woman’s hands which are about to grab her clothes.
The woman’s hands are held by Yaffe Qin, unable to move.
With a twisted face, she glares at Yaffe Qin with hatred and spits in her face all of a sudden.
Yaffe Qin tilts her head to avoid it, but it still gets into her hair.
Yaffe Qin says coldly:” If you think it’s our doctors that harmed your son, please prove it instead of doing such useless actions. Meanwhile, we medical staff are not here for you to spit on!”
