“Your father has other matters to attend to. He will join us later. Let’s go in,” Gu Zi said, leading the way into the hospital. Su Bing and Su Li followed closely, their steps quickening in anticipation. Their mother had brought the three siblings for a medical check-up, and for Su Li, this was his first time. He found the whole experience rather intriguing.
Before long, a sleek black sedan smoothly made its way into the city’s chemical institute. It came to a halt in front of a five-story building near the institute’s entrance, where a security guard promptly approached the vehicle.
Two passersby outside the institute cast envious glances at the car. They were not envious of the car itself, but rather the fact that it could enter the institute’s gates without any hindrance. After all, it was common practice for any vehicle or person to register before entering such a place, waiting for approval at the entrance. The fact that this car could enter directly sparked curiosity about the identity of the person inside.
The person in the car did not disembark. Instead, a hand reached out from the vehicle, passing a bottle of liquid to the security guard. The guard accepted it with a salute and promptly took the bottle into the building. It seemed that the person in the car had no intention of revealing themselves, leaving the onlookers to walk away in disappointment.
A little over two hours later, a woman dressed in a lab coat emerged from the building. She approached the black sedan and handed over a piece of paper with the test results. Su Shen accepted the paper, expressing his gratitude,
“Thank you, Aunt He. I know many people here, so I’d rather stay in the car.
Please don’t mention my visit.”
He Ting, hands in her pockets, laughed, “What are you thanking me for? I’m more than happy to help. I know you don’t like dealing with these social interactions, so I haven’t told anyone. You can go now, and please send my regards to Gu Zi and the children.”
Su Shen acknowledged her words. With the tests completed, he started the engine and drove out of the institute. As he arrived at the hospital, he saw Gu Zi leading the three children out. He stopped the car and got out, taking the things from Gu Zits hands and placing them in the trunk. Gu Zi asked, “How did it go?”
Su Shen helped her and the children into the car before returning to the driver’s seat. Sitting upright with a straight back, his handsome face exuded a masculine charm. He replied, “Everything is settled. We’ll head directly to the town.”
Gu Zi knew she could rely on this man. She began to discuss the children’s medical examination results, “The main issue with Lele is her delayed speech. The doctor has checked her and found that her brain development and hearing system are normal. The diagnosis is that early environmental factors have caused a delay in her sensory integration. She needs systematic language rehabilitation training, and we need to hire a speech therapist.”
A speech therapist is a professional who specializes in language rehabilitation training for young children. Gu Zi understood what the doctor meant professional matters should be left to professionals. Even a child-rearing expert familiar with children’s psychology could not carry out professional language rehabilitation training.
So, she paid the fees and hired a speech therapist, leaving her home address for the therapist to make regular visits to train Lele.
Su Shen’s eyes darkened, aware of his failure as a father. There were too many things he hadn’t considered. The truth was, money alone couldn’t provide proper care for a child. If it weren’t for Gu Zi’s intervention, he might never have realized Su Le’s predicament.
He said to Gu Zi, “If you need it, hire it. You make the decision. What about the eldest and the second child?” He could see through the rearview mirror that the two boys had fallen asleep in their seats after getting in the car.
Gu Zi glanced back and laughed, “The second one was energetic at first, especially cooperative during the doctor’s examination. But as it went on, he became more and more tired. I guess he won’t be so enthusiastic about medical check-ups in the future.
“The main issue with the two of them is malnutrition, and both their height and weight are below the normal range for their age. The doctor said they need to continue to be nourished, put more effort into diet and exercise, and prescribed them nutritional supplements. If taken regularly, they should be able to catch up.
“I’ll also adjust our daily meal plan when I get back. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and we’ll gradually help the children regain their health.”
Listening to her, Su Shen realized that medical examinations were indeed not fun, and the process was quite tedious. But even so, she would still bring the children for check-ups, spend money on them, and take care of them with all her heart. He felt truly blessed by the heavens to have met a woman like Gu Zi..
