The Devil’s love

Chapter 338  Lucky

[5:00pm, City life hospital]

As Ning had expected, she received a call from Yichan as soon as she arrived at the hospital.

"Babe, what are you doing?" Yichan asked. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"You know where I am, don't you?" When he did not say anything, Ning added, "Your men are subtle but not invisible."

"It's not like I don't trust you or I am spying on you—" he tried to explain his actions. With everything going on, he didn't dare to lose the end from his side and with him not around, he had doubled the security around her. When his men told him Ning was at the hospital, he was worried thinking she might be unwell.

"You don't have to explain, I know you trust me. I am here to visit mom."

"She is still at the hospital?" he inquired. "I thought she got discharged a couple of days ago."

"Umm yeah she was supposed to but she had to stay back for a few more days. The doctor wanted to take a few tests so—"

"Okay then, tell mom that I was asking about her and call me when you reach home, okay?"

"Sure."

After hanging up the call, Ning helplessly shook her head and sighed. She didn't tell Yichan about her unexpected doctor's visit because she didn't want him to add to his worries but lying to him made her feel miserable and it definitely sucked.

Promising to make it up to him for all the lying after he was back, she made her way to the doctors cabin for her scheduled appointment.

[Doctors cabin]

"Are you here all by yourself?"

Nodding, Ning answered, "Yes, my husband is out of town right now so—"

"Okay, that's alright." Taking her file from the nurse, the doctor asked, "Last time you came here with Dr. Yue. Are you related to him?"

"He is my husband's close friend."

"When we couldn't get in touch with you, I wanted to ask Dr. Yue about you but we couldn't get him to touch him either. Later I found out he is busy attending a medical conference on behalf of our hospital," the doctor remarked while examining the reports.

"Is something wrong with my reports?" Ning anxiously asked.

"Nothing so severe but it's also not something we should neglect or ignore." Keeping the file on the table, the doctor added, "Your blood reports show some variations. Your hemoglobin level is quite low, you are anaemic."

"As far as I remember, my hemoglobin level has always been low. But when I started taking some oral medications, it got better."

"Did you stop taking them?" When she shook her head, the doctor added, "Apart from that, your white blood cell count also shows an elevation. The WBC level usually increases when our body is fighting with any kind of infection. Did you fall sick recently?"

"No I didn't."

"I want to replace your current medication with another supplement. But apart from medications, you also have to change your diet. You have to add more iron rich food to your diet." Writing the prescription, the doctor asked, "What is the average difference between your two cycles?"

"My period is very irregular," she answered.

"Have you consulted any doctor for that?"

She nodded. "Yes."

"Well, one of the top gynecologists' in the US, Dr. Lee is here at our hospital right now. I can get you an appointment if you want." The doctor then instructed the nurse to check if Dr. Lee was still at the hospital.

Looking at Ning's anxious face, the doctor calmed her down. "Mrs. Yang, there is nothing to worry about. I know the hospital environment can increase the tension but trust me, you are in safe hands. I am just trying to cover all the bases and treat the potential cause which may later turn into something serious."

After some time the nurse came back and informed that Dr. Lee had agreed to see Ning.

"You are lucky." Giving Ning the file, the doctor added, "People from far and near come to see her everyday and It's very hard to get her appointment."

After thanking the nurse and doctor, Ning went to the 4th floor for her next appointment.

[4th floor]

While she was waiting outside the doctors cabin for her turn, Roger called her.

"Why did you lie to Yichan?"

"What?"

"I had called him to discuss something and he told me you are at the hospital to see your mother. But I distinctly remember when I was talking to Chen yesterday, he told me aunt Ziyi has already been discharged." Roger sighed, "Ning, what are you up to?"

"You didn't tell him, did you?" Ning asked.

"Not yet but I am gonna—" When Yichan had told him to take care of Ning in his absence because he was one of the people he trusted the most, Roger had felt very touched. After everything their friendship had been through, he had thought their bond and friendship would never be the same. But he was wrong. Yichan had trusted him the person he treasured the most and Roger would never let him down.

When he found out Ning was definitely lying, he didn't tell Yichan immediately. Instead, he called Ning to hear her out first. She was his sister after all, he had to listen to her as well. But that didn't mean he would help her in keeping it away from Yichan.

"You can't tell him—" Ning frowned. "I swear if you tell him, I will kill you."

"How can I keep this away from him? Forget that, first tell me what the hell are you doing at the hospital? Are you unwell?"

"I am fine, it was just a regular checkup."

"If it's just a regular checkup? Why did you lie to your husband?" he asked.

"Because you know how he is." Pinching the space between her brows, she sighed. "Though he is not telling me, I know things are not going well there and he is having a tough time. I don't want to add to his worries."

Keeping quiet for sometime, Roger said, "Alright, let me accompany you then. Which hospital are you in?"

"City hospital. I am almost done though."

"Then let me come and pick you up."

"Okay, I will take another 30 minutes."
