Chapter 18 - Lee Ai

After Bai Renxiang left Fu Bolin and his fiancee Han Yuri, she went to see her mother. Jiang Meilin was pale and her lips were cracked. She was not looking like the pretty woman who had a smile that could brighten one's day.

Seeing her mother in such condition made Bai Renxiang was determined to get what the Bai family had took from her mother. The shares of Jiang Enterprise which her martenal grandfather, Old master Jiang had given to Jiang Meilin as a wedding gift was taken from her by Bai Guiren all in the name of helping her save it for future use.

Bai Guiren also took the huge amount of four million dollars her grandpa Jiang had given her on her first birthday. Bai Guiren also gave a reason that Bai was not yet responsible to handle such amount.

Up till date, Bai Renxiang had not received a single penny from that money. But seeing as her mother was suffering, she vowed to take back what was taken from she and her mother and make sure Bai Ming pays for using her as a stepping stone.

But first, treating her mother comes first. With that thought in mind Bai Renxiang went to make payment for Jiang Meilin's surgery and then to look for doctor Ye.

Ye Chaoxiang was reading the test result of a patient when someone knocked on his door.

"Come in," he said without removing his eyes fry the reality he was holding.

"Doctor Ye, someone is here to see you," a lady informed.

"Does the person have an appointment?" He asked still reading the report in his hands.

"No, but she said I should inform you that she has the money for her mother's surgery," the lady replied.

"Send her in," came his order. After the lady left, Bai Renxiang came in.

"Good afternoon doctor," she greeted politely.

Now looking up from what he was doing, Ye Chaoxiang nodded in reply.

"Good afternoon. Please have a seat."

Walking towards the chair opposite him, she sat down.

"I paid for my mother's surgery and I wanted to know when the surgery will be carried out," she stated her purpose of coming to his cabin. She did not want to waste time on pleasantries as she could also see that he was busy.

"That is good news. I will inform the hospital so that arrangements can be made right away so that we could start immediately, if that is okay with you of course," he said.

"Yes, very okay," she agreed.

"Alright let me inform the director. You can wait in your mother-in-law ward until some nurses come to bring your mother to the theatre. It will not take time."

Standing up, Bai Renxiang bowed a little, "Thank you doctor," before she took her leave. Ye Chaoxiang immediately called the director to inform him of the surgery and asked for them to make the necessary arrangements for the surgery.

Pacing back and forth in the hospital room, Bai Renxiang was patiently waiting for the nurses as doctor Ye had told her to. She was getting nervous as every second ticked by. Will her mother be better after the surgery? How many years will she live?

Questions kept on plauging her mind and she was beginning to feel scared.

"Aunty are you not feeling dizzy walking like that? You are making me scared." A little sweet voice brought Bai Renxiang out of her thought. Turning towards the source, Bai Renxiang saw it was the child that they were sharing the room with. It was the first time she heard the little girls speak.

Smiling weakly, Bai Renxiang apologized, "I am sorry about that. I am just worried about my mother."

"Is your mummy not receiving treatment like me?" The little girl asked sweetly. She was curious. If the lady had been in this hospital for three days now, then was that not supposed to mean that she was receiving treatment and could not go home.

"Yes, she is but you see it is different," Bai Renxiang tried to explain to the child.

"How?" Another curious question was dropped by the kid.

"My mother will be undergoing a surgery in a few minutes and well, I am a bit scared," she said shakingly.

Looking at Bai Renxiang for a while, the girl patted a free space on her bed, inviting her to sit. Bai Guiren reluctantly took sat close to her.

Stretching her hands out, the girl said, "My name is Lee Ai. Do not worry your mummy will be fine as far as handsome doctor treats her," she Lee Ai assured.

Looking dumbfoundedly at Lee Ai, Bai Renxiang asked, "And who is this handsome doctor you are talking about?"

"The one that came to check on your mummy when she was admitted. He was also the one that treated little Ai and she is getting stronger," Lee Ai said.

"Oh you mean doctor Ye?" She asked to be sure she knew whom the kid was referring to.

"Yes, that one," Lee Ai said pointing towards the door. Ye Chaoxiang had just entered when he heard what they were talking about.. He was their topic of discussion.
