Chapter 93: A Strange Dream
Xie Ying looked at Cheng Ling’s thin but straight back and sighed.
This granddaughter was too thoughtful and she took on many things.
All Xie Ying could do was to trust her unconditionally.
After returning to her room, Cheng Ling washed up and lay on the bed.
The street lights outside had already gone out. The moon was round and bright tonight, and the moonlight was cold and clear.
Cheng Ling looked at the moonlight, and slowly her consciousness began to blur.
She had a dream.
In the dream, Cheng Ling was only 18 or 19 years old. She had two ponytails.
But she was not at the Cheng family home, and Xie Ying was not by her side.
In the dream, she lived in a place like a valley. There were many peach trees in the surroundings, and it was so beautiful.
She was playing there alone when suddenly, a couple came from afar and called her Ling Ling intimately.
In the dream, Cheng Ling called them Dad and Mom.
The mature and handsome man was holding Cheng Ling in his arms. The other hand of his was holding his wife’s hand. Three of them were very happy and comfortable walking under the peach trees.
Then, the scene in the dream changed rapidly. Cheng Ling saw the two whom she called Dad and Mom lying on the ground. Blood kept flowing out of their mouths, noses, and eyes.
At that moment, they kept calling Cheng Ling’s name, and their eyes were full of reluctance…
“Ling Ling, you have to live well. Stay away from…”
They then stopped moving. Although their eyes were still open, they were no longer breathing.
In the dream, Cheng Ling kept crying and calling Dad and Mom.
Suddenly, her phone rang, and her dream came to an abrupt end.
Cheng Ling opened her eyes wide and woke up.
It was still dark outside the window.
Cheng Ling raised her hand to touch her forehead and could feel cold sweat.
The scene in the dream was too real. She could still feel the breeze and fragrance of the peach blossom valley.
And the last horrible scene…
Cheng Ling heard her heart beating vigorously and still hadn’t recovered from the dream.
For a moment, Cheng Ling didn’t know who she was or where she was.
The familiar ringtone of her phone continued to ring, breaking the silence of the night.
She fumbled for her phone and looked at the time. She realized that she had only slept for half an hour.
Cheng Ling didn’t recognize the number that was calling. She noticed that this number had called several times today, but she didn’t pick up the calls.
She pressed the answer button, but her mind was still in the dream.
“You finally picked up. Are you Cheng Ling?”
Cheng Ling felt that this voice was a little familiar.
“Yes, I’m.”
“I’m Jin Wang, Your Grandpa Ding’s good friend. We met at the Ding family’s house.”
Cheng Ling sat up from the bed, took a sip of the water on the bedside table to moisten her throat.
“Oh, good evening.”
“I’m really sorry. I called you so late and hope I didn’t disturb you. I called you several times during the day, but no one answered. So I picked this time.”
“No, you did not disturb me. May I ask why you’re looking for me?”
Cheng Ling naturally knew what Jin Wang’s purpose was. Most of the people who came to look for her had the same purpose.
Old Master Jin suddenly didn’t know what to say.
After all, he was so sarcastic in the Ding family’s house yesterday. And now, he was rushing to ask this girl to treat his illness. He didn’t want to lose face.
He hesitated for a while and thought to himself. How could face be more important than good health? Right now, he only wanted to treat the pain in his waist. He didn’t care about anything else.
Jin Wang finally spoke.
During this time, Cheng Ling was very patient. She did not rush him, nor did she hang up the phone.
“Girl, yesterday, I might have said some things that made you unhappy. So I’m here to apologize to you. Old Ding gave me a dose of medicine yesterday and after I drank it today, I realized that this dose of medicine was really useful for my waist pain.”
“I wonder if you could treat my illness as well. I’m willing to pay no matter how much it costs.” Jin Wang laid out his conditions.”
Cheng Ling had come out of the dream just now. She was awake but she was not in a good mood.
Although Cheng Ling had the spirit of a doctor who helped the world, she did not treat everyone.
Moreover, what Old Master Jin said in the Ding family’s house yesterday really made her feel a little uncomfortable.
“Grandpa Jin, I can roughly deduce that your waist pain should be a nerve injury. It’s an old illness. If you want to treat it completely, it definitely can’t be cured. I can’t do anything about it. I’m really sorry.”
What Cheng Ling said was also the truth. It was indeed impossible to completely cure it, but it could still relieve the pain.
However, Cheng Ling was not a saint.
