Fortunately, Sister Liu only blushed slightly and didn't get angry. She quietly said to me, "Thank you!" Then she added, "Can you accompany me tomorrow?"
I felt incredibly awkward but still mustered the courage to agree as I got out of the car, watching Liu Ru Yan's vehicle slowly drive away, leaving behind a trail of exhaust and the sound of my heartbeat.
Back at the office, I felt quite confused.
Brother Biao said, "Xiao Lin, Sister Hong was looking for you just now."
Now, the third floor was no longer locked whether Sister Hong was there or not. I asked her why. She playfully scratched my nose and said, "With you as this superhero around, what do I have to fear!"
I agreed and went up to the third floor. I told Sister Hong, "Sister Liu was looking for me earlier!"
"Which Sister Liu?" she asked nervously.
"The big star! You forgot? I saved her last time at Xishan Villa," I replied.
Only then did Sister Hong relax. "What did she want?"
"Her asthma flared up again; she wanted to consult me..." I didn't elaborate further.
Sister Hong didn't press for more details. "Well, knowing someone like her is beneficial for both you and our company," she said, before reminding me, "Make sure to greet Uncle Ming when you're not around."
Was Liu Ru Yan's cervical erosion really due to unclean sexual behavior? I was filled with doubts about it.
That night, as I lay in bed tossing and turning, I pondered this question. If Liu Ru Yan truly had inappropriate sexual relations, who could her partner be? Was it the rumored deputy director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau?
If such news were to leak, it would deal a fatal blow to her image and career.
The next day, I waited at the hospital entrance as promised for Liu Ru Yan. She arrived driving that inconspicuous Bora all by herself. Upon seeing me, she got out of the car and smiled while nodding her head.
"Thank you for coming," she said softly.
She seemed a bit hesitant but still followed me into the hospital.
She handed me an ID card; when I looked at it, neither the photo nor the name belonged to her. I understood what she meant—she wanted me to wait while she went to register and get a check-up order.
This woman was very meticulous in her thoughts.
Inside the hospital, Liu Ru Yan underwent various gynecological examinations while I waited outside for her. After the check-up was over, we returned to the car together.
"What were the results?" I asked.
Liu Ru Yan's face was pale, but her voice remained calm: "The doctor said that once the results are out, an electronic report will be sent to my phone."
In the early afternoon, I received a call from Liu Ru Yan. Her voice trembled slightly, filled with fear. "Mr. Xiao Lin, can you come over? My test results are out!"
"Okay, I'll be there right away," I replied.
Soon after, I received a location on my phone. It was indeed the life of the wealthy; she lived in a standalone three-story house in the North Island Villa District, complete with its own yard. Each house was set far apart and surrounded by lush greenery.
She opened the door for me with a remote control. I found her sitting on the sofa, holding her phone. She gestured for me to sit down and handed me the report to look at. I noticed her hands were shaking.
Upon closer inspection, the report read: "Severe Cervical Erosion."
As if that wasn't enough, Sister Liu also had hyperplasia of the mammary glands, uterine fibroids, and thyroid nodules!
"How could this happen?" I asked in shock.
Liu Ru Yan's complexion was poor. "The doctor told me it might be due to my exhaustion during filming, both physically and mentally, which led to a decline in my immune system, resulting in Cervical Erosion..."
I nodded; that was indeed a possibility. But then another question crossed my mind. "Have you discussed your lifestyle or marital life with the doctor?"
A look of unease crossed Liu Ru Yan's face. "No, why would I talk to him about that?"
I was somewhat surprised. "Because it could be an important reason for your Cervical Erosion."
Liu Ru Yan shook her head. "No, the doctor said my Cervical Erosion is caused by a decline in immunity."
I felt a bit confused but decided to set that issue aside for now. However, the hyperplasia of the mammary glands, uterine fibroids, and thyroid nodules seemed less related to the previous concerns.
Uterine fibroids, thyroid nodules, and hyperplasia of the mammary glands are often associated with liver Qi stagnation. At my age, I really couldn't fathom what could be troubling Sister Liu—she had wealth and support wherever she went!
Right now, the priority was to help Liu Ru Yan treat her Cervical Erosion. The doctor's recommendation was a combination of medication and physical therapy to alleviate her symptoms.
Medication primarily involved oral and topical treatments to reduce inflammation and promote healing; physical therapy would use methods like laser or cryotherapy to remove affected tissue.
She looked at me pleadingly.
I understood; she didn't want her condition exposed to any potential scrutiny.
