Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 441: Chapter 441 Inspection

Looking at the report on the left and the report on the right, the doctor’s eyebrows slightly raised, his expression looked particularly serious, making the three people’s hearts very uneasy, not knowing exactly what was wrong with Yu Xia and whether it would have any impact.

"Doctor, what’s exactly wrong with Yu Xia’s body? Please just say it directly. If there’s anything we need to cooperate with, we won’t refuse." Lin Mengyao looked at the elderly doctor, trying her best to remain calm.

"The situation is not very good. The patient’s body is severely depleted, somewhat malnourished, anemic, and the immune system is lower than that of ordinary people. This body can only be slowly nurtured; there’s nothing that needs curing, but there’s also no possibility of a cure." The doctor glanced up at the three people and said.

"What do you mean by there’s nothing that needs curing and no possibility of a cure, does that mean she’s sick or not?" Lin Mengyao was confused by the doctor’s words.

"It just means that with proper care, she can live for another twenty or thirty years; without care, it’s a matter of a few years." The old doctor adjusted his glasses and said.

Lin Mengyao and Xu Ke exchanged a glance, both seeing the hidden anger in each other’s eyes. They simply couldn’t imagine what Yu Xia, such a well-behaved child, had experienced in that family home. She’s so well-behaved and sensible, she should be the little princess cherished in everyone’s palms, so why is she being treated like this?

Lin Mengyao felt that Yu Xia’s fate was unfair, felt angry, and grew even more disgusted with that mother whom she already didn’t have a good impression of. After asking all the detailed questions about daily body care, she followed Xu Ke out of the door. As soon as they were outside, her expression changed to a seemingly happy one; she didn’t want Yu Xia to know that her health was actually even worse than she had overheard.

"Your test results are out. The doctor said although there’s some depletion, it’s not particularly serious. As long as you pay attention to your lifestyle in the future and take good care of yourself, it’s no problem to live to old age. It’s just that there might be frequent minor illnesses but no major ones. Your immune system isn’t very good, so you’ll get sick more easily than others. But as long as we pay attention, these can be avoided." Lin Mengyao patted Yu Xia’s head and said. noveldrama

Although Yu Xia knew that Lin Mengyao was probably trying to comfort her, hearing such a result still made her very happy, and it seemed like the large stone pressing on her heart had moved a bit, and her face also showed a bit of a smile, with satisfaction and happiness in her expression.

Seeing the smile on Yu Xia’s face, Lin Mengyao’s nose began to feel sore, almost letting tears fall, but she blinked quickly enough to blink them away.

Seeing Yu Xia like this, Xu Ke also felt a pang of sympathy in his heart.

"You’re not going to work today, why don’t the three of us go shopping? I see Yu Xia’s suitcase is quite small, let’s buy her some things." Xu Ke, standing beside the two women, suggested. He didn’t know how to make the two forget their worries and be happy, so he simply suggested buying things to distract them.

Xu Ke’s suggestion was indeed very effective. Lin Mengyao’s eyes lit up in agreement, "I don’t know what girls your age like, so why don’t we all go and take a look together."

Yu Xia felt a bit flustered and embarrassed, "I don’t have anything I need to buy, I’ve brought enough." Yu Xia waved her hand, trying to refuse.

Lin Mengyao quickly understood what Yu Xia was nervous about, probably because she hurriedly ran away from home and didn’t have much money, so she felt embarrassed to go shopping. Lin Mengyao smiled and said, "Then you don’t have to buy anything, I’ll buy. Just accompany me. I’ve been busy for so long and haven’t gone shopping for ages, I’ve almost forgotten what it’s like."

Hearing that it was Lin Mengyao who wanted to go shopping for herself, Yu Xia’s face turned red, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Three people arrived at the mall, and as soon as they entered a store, Lin Mengyao picked up a white sleeveless dress and compared it to Yu Xia, "Go in and see if this dress fits you. I think it suits you well," Lin Mengyao said.

Yu Xia suddenly felt nervous again and hurriedly waved her hand to refuse, "I really don’t need new clothes, I have enough already. You buy it yourself."

"Consider it a welcome gift from me. You’ve come to our house, and I’ve never given you anything," Lin Mengyao said with a smile. "Go try it on. I really think this dress is suitable for you. I’m sure you’ll look great in it."

Hearing Lin Mengyao say this, Yu Xia’s face showed some hesitation. After all, what girl doesn’t like beautiful dresses?

Yu Xia’s mother was more concerned about her being a vessel for her brother, so she made a lot of nutritious food for Yu Xia, regardless of whether she liked it or not, as long as she finished it. Other than that, she didn’t care about Yu Xia in other aspects, so the clothes on Yu Xia’s body were simply clean and tidy, not any brand, and not particularly nice-looking.

Standing in the fitting room and looking at the dress, Yu Xia’s eyes turned red, instinctively wanting to cry. But recalling Lin Mengyao’s "little crybaby" comment during dinner, Yu Xia sniffed and held back her tears, then carefully touched the dress.

The smooth feeling made Yu Xia feel a bit inferior, "Can I really wear such a beautiful dress?" Yu Xia whispered. But since it was Lin Mengyao’s kind intention, despite her unease, Yu Xia put it on, although after putting it on she didn’t even know how to place her arms. After lingering in the fitting room for a while, she finally walked out in embarrassment.

Seeing Yu Xia finally come out of the fitting room, Lin Mengyao felt relieved and after glancing at the frailer-looking Yu Xia in the white dress, couldn’t help but bemeaned by it.

Yu Xia’s features were attractive, especially her stunning eyes, which made a lasting impression. However, her skin was somewhat yellowed from prolonged malnutrition. Wearing a pure white dress, she resembled a delicate flower, prompting one to want to create a glasshouse for her care.

Yu Xia inherently exuded a pitiful charm, and the dress exponentially amplified this quality.

Seeing Lin Mengyao staring at her intently, and Xu Ke looking appreciatively, Yu Xia felt uneasy, "Do I not look good in this?" she asked softly, her fingers twisting nervously.

"No, you look great. Little Xia dressed like this would definitely be a school beauty. The dress is just a bit large, so we need to ask an attendant for a smaller size," Lin Mengyao said, smiling as she led Yu Xia in front of the mirror, urging her to look at her reflection.

"When we return, I’ll make sure you’re well-fed, and then we’ll come back to sweep through the store; by then you’ll look even better than now, because right now you’re too thin," Lin Mengyao said.
