Madam Jiang nodded and sat down on the chair brought by the little maid with First Young Madam Ren. Xiqiu and Tong Xiyang also took their seats.
The room fell into an awkward silence.
Madam Jiang wiped her eyes and said, "What did the doctor say? How could it suddenly turn out like this..."
Tong Xiyang's eyes reddened, and she turned her face away. The maid beside her, wearing a green overcoat, responded, "The doctor said she needs careful care... it might take two years..." As she spoke, she began to cry softly.
Madam Jiang's expression changed as she furrowed her brows, saying, "How did it become so severe? Which doctor did the examination? My uncle from my maternal family mentioned there's a gynecologist in Yingtian who's coming to the Capital soon. A noble in the Capital has invited him, and when he arrives, we can also have him come to take a look at you."
