020: Nieces and Nephew?

Since hospital costs are the most expensive item to incur when one is ill, Yue Xuexia could see by the looks on her Uncle Kin's and Aunt Lin's faces that they were worried about money. She then recalled the hospital that she had received from one of the intermediate gift bags.

"Don't worry about it, Uncle Lin. I will arrange everything. Though you might not be able to go home when you get there, Uncle Lin, you know about the Island Hospital 'Sanctuary Gardens'?" asked Yue Xuexia.

Since hospital costs are the most expensive item to incur when one is ill, Yue Xuexia could see by the looks on her Uncle Kin's and Aunt Lin's faces that they were worried about money. She then recalled the hospital that she had received from one of the intermediate gift bags.

Aunt Lin spoke, "Xue'er not that place. The fees in that hospital are too expensive, and patients need to ride a plane to get there. I heard that a jet charter from that place costs millions. We cannot afford it."

"Don't worry, Aunt Lin. The expenses I would pay for everything. That place had the most skilled doctors and surgeons. They would be able to treat you to the best they can. Please leave it to me. Within this week I will schedule your check-up with them," said Yue Xuexia.

While her thoughts are, 'That's right. I need to check on Aunt Lin''s former doctor. If it's a normal misdiagnosis, then a light punishment must be given, but... If it was an intentional murder, then... No matter who it was, they needed to pay for it.'

Yue Xuexia said, smiling at the old couple before her.

"Aunt Lin, stop drinking that medicine. I will ask your doctor about it first if he had prescribed it wrongly. For now, I will give you acupuncture. This would at least remove your pain for a week. After this acupuncture session, Aunt Lin should be able to stand and walk around the house without pain. But foods and drinks that aren't allowed to be taken should still be avoided. I will make a list later with regards to it," said Yue Xuexia.

Aunt Lin smiled and openly trusted her niece.

"Then, Xue'er, I will leave my body to you. Aunt believes you," said Aunt Lin.

Yue Xuexia smiled. "Uncle Lin, please help Aunt Lin lay down on the bed properly. I will begin my acupuncture."

"Okay. Is there something else you need, Xue'er?" asked Uncle Lin.

Yue Xuexia said, "Then a clean towel and a basin of warm water. Aunt Lin would definitely sweat a lot. Uncle Lin can help me wipe her sweat."

"Sure. Leave that to me," said Uncle Lin.

Taking her Golden Dragon Acupuncture Needles from her system storage, Yue Xuexia pretended to take them out of her car and began acupuncture on Aunt Lin. The entire session lasted an hour, during which Aunt Lin felt so relaxed that she dozed off, but Uncle Lin knew that her condition had improved; her cheeks were more flushed than they had been previously, and even her slightly purple lips had returned to a healthy color.

After being sick for so long, Aunt Lin felt hungry again when she woke up, and Uncle Lin continued to support her while she perspired.

Grumbles~

Aunt Lin murmured, "Honey, I'm hungry."

"Let me wipe you up first, then I will cook some porridge for you," said Uncle Lin.

Yue Xuexia just finished taking back her needles and said, "Uncle Lin, please continue to wipe Aunt's sweat. I will cook the porridge for you. Since I forbid you to drink the medicine, I should make some medicinal meal for you tonight."

"Are the ingredients in the kitchen enough?" asked Aunt Lin.

Yue Xuexia answered, "It should be. I will make something delicious for you to eat, Aunt Lin. Please let me borrow the kitchen."

"Go ahead, Xue'er. If you need help, there's a maid who will ask her anything," said Uncle Lin.

The ancient Lin couple exchanged glances and had a brief conversation before Yue Xuexia nodded her head and left the room, making her way to the kitchen.

Aunt Lin said, "I didn't know that Xue'er had such medical skill. The pain in my stomach that lasted for half a month suddenly disappeared with one acupuncture session from her."

"Um~ her skill is indeed the best. You look at the mirror; you look healthier than before," said Uncle Lin as he passed his wife a compact mirror.

Aunt Lin remarked that, yes, as her husband had stated, she looked healthy when she looked in the mirror and noticed her rubicund skin.

"This is amazing. Not only do I feel full of energy as if I've gotten younger, but I also look healthy as if I'm not sick. Does acupuncture have these kinds of effects?" asked Aunt Lin in disbelief.

Uncle Lin commented, "Xue'er must not be an ordinary doctor. I heard this kind of miraculous event happened only when a Divine Doctor took action. Is she a divine doctor?"

"If she is, then my brother has given birth to a Divine Doctor. This is good; the family would not need to worry about sickness," said Aunt Lin with a proud smile on her face. "I knew Xue'er wasn't an ordinary child from birth. She had always been an intelligent girl since she was young."

Uncle Lin nodded his head and said, "Okay, since you can move on your own and change your clothes, but be careful. Don't accidentally hit your stomach area. Xue'er said your stomach injuries are a bit bad."

"I know I will be careful," said Aunt Lin.

When the maid finally summoned the Old Lin Couple for dinner after several hours, they could even see her saliva, which she immediately wiped away upon noticing their curious looks.

The maid said, "Madam, Sir, Lady Xuexia had told this servant to call you two to eat dinner."

"I just saw you drool just now. Isn't Xue'er making a medicinal feast for us? Does it look delicious?" asked Aunt Lin.

The maid honestly responded, "Madam, I had watched Lady Xuexia cook the whole time. Though the ingredients she used were those from the kitchen and fridge, she even ordered a few more groceries using an app. Most of her ingredients are veggies, but... Her dishes smell so delicious and appetizing. It does not look like it's a medical food at all."

"Let's go. It seems that Xue'er's cooking skills are also good. Just the fragrance alone is making me hungry," said Uncle Lin.

Aunt Lin nodded toward her husband, who was escorting her, and said to the maid, "You may get a portion and eat in the kitchen."

"Thank you, Madam Lin!" said the delighted maid.

She could finish what Yue Xuexia had given her and go sample her cuisine now that she was permitted to eat in the kitchen. She had only a few mouthfuls before she was told to call the Madam and Sir, so she dutifully took her to leave as instructed and hurriedly made her way to the kitchen.

When the elderly Lin couple arrived at the dining room, they were greeted with plain-looking dishes that, despite their appearance and scent, were too excellent to eat. There were two sets of meals, one for the heart and the other for the stomach.

Yue Xuexia smiled when she saw her aunt and uncle.

"This one is for Aunt Lin. I made you some blueberries and banana oatmeal, steamed mint chicken breast, white toasted bread with yogurt, and a cup of ginger and chamomile tea."

Aunt Lin made the sound of swallowing saliva as she sat in the chair with the next dinner that her niece had prepared for her. The maid had commented that the aroma was really quite delicious, almost as if it was not as easy to make as it looked.

Yue Xuexia turned to face her Uncle Lin, but she had already seen him sit down next to his wife and stare fixedly at the food in front of him.

"For Uncle Lin, I made heart-healthy food as I've noticed you've gotten heart surgery before. This is grilled salmon and tuna. Please don't overeat with rice. It's not good for Uncle. Instead, eat these stirred olive oil vegetables and fried tofu. For dessert, I made a low-fat yogurt fruit bowl for both my uncle and aunt. Please don't exchange bowls. I cut fruits each of you can eat but the other can't. Go ahead and eat now."

When the children finally came home, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin were eating, and Yue Xuexia watched as the chopsticks and spoons of the Old Lin Couple moved quickly as they ate. Their meals smelled so good that it was almost impossible for them to have made them themselves. The house was filled with the lively voices of young men and women.

"Grandpa, Grandma, we're home!" said the children.

The children had gathered in the Lin family house, where they were shocked to see a fairy-like lady in their home and stared at her shyly, especially the only young man in the group. The children loved to eat and play, so after they got home, these little ones decided to play in the Lin family house.

Lin Tianyu is the eldest son of Lin Xiyu, the only son of Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin. The Old Lin Couple had two children, one female and one male. The eldest is a female named Lin Shiyu, but she wasn't in the country as she had been married for years and lives in Canada. As the second child and only male child of the old couple, Lin Xiyu was also married but lived in the same house as his parents.

Lin Xiyu had one son and one daughter. They are called Lin Tianyu and Lin Shira. Both were in grade school. The son was in sixth grade, while the little lady was in fourth grade.

The two other young ladies who came home with them were the daughters of Fu-dage next door. The Old Fu couple had two male children: the eldest, Fu Ruan, is a computer engineer and is married to Qu Wenxi, his childhood sweetheart, whom Yue Xuexia knew from when she was still in elementary school. Fu Ruan and Qu Wenxi had two daughters, Fu Wenya and Fu Ruya, the eldest of whom is in the fifth grade and is close to Lin Tianyu, and the youngest is a Lin Shira classmate.

After school, these four would play together all the time. Today, however, they were not prepared to meet Yue Xuexia. Yue Xuexia's beauty has been amplified to the maximum, and to the children, she appears to be a goddess or a fairy. When she notices a few pairs of eyes on her, she smiles, but beneath those eyes, she is so nervous that her body tenses up.

Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin noticed Yue Xuexia's awkwardness. This was the first time she had to meet her little nieces and nephews.

Uncle Lin said, "Welcome back. Did Wenya and Ruya drop by next door before coming here?"

"Y-Yes, Uncle Lin," said Fu Wenya and Fu Ruya as they stared at Yue Xuexia, dazed.

"So pretty~ like a fairy. Elder sister, are you a fairy?" asked Fu Ruya as she approached Yue Xuexia fearlessly.

Seeing this, Lin Shira followed after Fu Ruya and also approached Yue Xuexia. They were holding on to her clothes with glowing eyes.

Aunt Lin introduced Yue Xuexia to the children.

"Hahaha~ What an elder sister! This is your eldest aunt from Grandpa Yue Yuya's side. You've met Grandpa Yuya, right? This is his eldest daughter."

"Hello, children! No, I'm not a fairy. I'm your Aunt Yue Xuexia. You can call me Aunt Xue. Nice to meet you, Shira, Ruya, Tianyu, and Wenya," said Yue Xuexia with a smile.

"Nice to meet you, Aunt Xue!" said Lin Tian Yu and Fu Wenya. They greeted her politely.

Meanwhile, the two youngest were bold and jumped on Yue Xuexia's embrace.

Fu Ruya said, "Fairy Aunt Xue, hug Ruya!"

"Me too. Fairy Aunt Xue hugs Shira~" said Lin Shira.

Yue Xuexia grinned and did not know how to reply. She could hold one of them at a time in her arms, but it would be impossible to hold two at once; even though they would appear small, each one would undoubtedly weigh more than five kilograms.

Aunt Lin said, "Okay, stop that, Shira, Ruya. Your aunt can't carry you both at the same time. Look on the table. Your aunt brought some mini cakes for you brats."

"Yey! Cakes!!" said Ruya and Shira.

Lin Tianyu and Fu Wenya were also delighted to see the mini cakes. It looks beautiful, like jewels in a box.

Uncle Lin said, "Okay, eat only one slice now. You can eat the rest after dinner."

"Okay~"
