As the sun rose and darkness gave way to dawn.
Qiao Yin performed another acupuncture treatment on her grandmother, who regained consciousness for a few minutes before slipping back into unconsciousness.
However, this time she gently clasped Qiao Yin’s hand. Although she could not speak yet, it was clear that her consciousness was returning.
A weight was lifted from Qiao Yin’s heart. She skillfully administered her an IV drip, replenishing her with nutrients and electrolytes. Afterwards, she massaged her grandmother’s legs before washing up and preparing breakfast.
After breakfast, her cousin arrived with her child.
Qiao Yin really liked children, and her cousin’s son was very well-behaved, which made her fond of him. So, she took the child and played with him.
“How’s Grandma? Has her condition improved a bit?”
“I did acupuncture on her this morning, and she woke up again. She held my hand tightly and her consciousness is clearer than before. She managed to expel some clotted blood, her pulse is much stronger, she should be able to drink some water on her own tomorrow.”
The news moved Ye Wan to tears: “Yinyin, we are so lucky to have you. Without you, Grandma might never have woken up. When we were both learning medicine with Grandma, she said that you were very talented and, had you not promised not to help outsiders and stopped learning with all your heart, you would have certainly surpassed her.”
Hearing this, Qiao Yin lowered her eyes: “I was wrong, dear cousin. I will learn from Grandma and treat others. I have a lot of theoretical knowledge, but I lack practical experience. When faced with complex and rare cases, I feel at a loss. I need to start learning with her again as soon as Grandma wakes up. I need to be capable of saving the one I want to save.”
As for those she did not want to save, there was no need to save them.
The choice was hers, but the prerequisite to having the power of choice was that she had to be capable of saving people.
Ye Wan was very excited: “Yinyin, you have finally left your past behind! I am really happy for you!”
Qiao Yin smiled faintly: “I just suddenly realized that my refusal to save others has resulted in not being able to save our own. Cousin, would you like to learn with me? In the future, we can open a medical clinic together.”

Ye Wan couldn’t help but shake her head: “I am afraid I can’t. I still faint at the sight of blood and this problem is impossible to overcome. So, I have always admired you for overcoming it.”
“In that case, I’ll handle the patients with external injuries and you can diagnose and prescribe for the other patients. That way, you wouldn’t have to see blood.”
Ye Wan shook her head again: “I can’t, I don’t have time to learn. An is only two years old, I have to take care of him. Also, I doubt your brother-in-law would agree to let me go to work.”
“Cousin, you don’t need your brother-in-law’s permission to work, as long as you are willing, no one has the right to stop you. An will grow up, you can’t always stay at home, you will lose touch with society.”
“But, your brother-in-law doesn’t know how to do anything. I take care of everything at home, laundry, cooking, cleaning. His parents have not been well lately, and sometimes I have to look after them, I really don’t have any time.”
Hearing this, Qiao Yin couldn’t help but sigh.
Her cousin had truly lost her sense of self.
If this continued, and her husband remained dedicated to her, it would be fine, but what if he changed, like Lu Lingche did and found another woman, how would her cousin survive then?
If it really came to a divorce, her cousin, having no job or income, might not even be able to fight for custody of her child.
However, Qiao Yin couldn’t say this. Even the closest sister wouldn’t want to hear these words.
So she found another way to put her idea forward: “Cousin, don’t rush to reject my offer. I won’t be able to open the clinic anytime soon, so you can think about it some more.. After all, your husband has a lot of pressure to support the family on his own, don’t you want to share some of that burden? Wouldn’t life be better for An if you had an income too? Your husband would feel much more relaxed then, right?”
