Chapter 318: Chapter 230: The Person Best Suited to Stand by His Side

The mother was somewhat anxious, pleading as she spoke, "Doctor, you just tell us what tests need to be done and we’ll do them. Please help me, my son still needs to go to school. With his condition, he’s completely unable to review his lessons, and he can’t sleep well either."

Tang Xi deeply understood the mother’s feelings. She gently pursed her lips and said seriously, "You should visit an ENT specialist, try to get an appointment with Director Zhang, he should be available today. Tell him you suspect it might be BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) and ask him to take a look."

The mother exclaimed in shock, "BPPV? What kind of illness is that?"

Tang Xi’s voice was gentle and soothing, calming the other’s emotions, "From the reports you gave me, the scans have been comprehensive and rule out many causes. It’s neither a spinal nor a head issue, so it’s likely BPPV. It’s not a serious problem. Rest well, pay attention to nutrition, and you should slowly recover in a week or two. You can do some gentle exercise afterwards. BPPV can also be treated with repositioning. You can ask Director Zhang for specific advice, as he is an expert in ENT."

"Thank you, thank you so much, doctor."

The mother then left with her son.

Fu Tingzhou had been watching her, observing how she comforted the patient’s emotions and diagnosed the illness.

Her expression was very serious and focused.

He suddenly felt that this woman was different from what he had thought.

He did not know how he used to interact with Tang Xi, but it surely wasn’t this woman’s fault.

Perhaps once upon a time, the fault was his own.

This woman, she gave him a very strange feeling.

-

Tang Xi tidied up her desk, glanced at the computer, and saw there were no more patients registered. It seemed like she’d have a free afternoon.

Tang Xi’s seat was next to a window, but it was in a shaded spot.

The window let in a breeze.

The breeze blew over a succulent pot on the windowsill.

The small pot, the size of a palm, fell to the ground and shattered, looking quite pitiful.

Tang Xi stood up and was about to go over.

A dark figure moved there before her.

The man bent down, picking up the succulent from the ground, his brow slightly furrowed. Fu Tingzhou did not know what it was, only that it was a decorative plant, Tang Xi’s bear paw succulent, which was quite cute.

Tang Xi had grown many, but only this bear paw survived and even propagated several pots.

This one was brought from her home.

The woman stood up, "Is there anything else you need?"

"What time do you get off work?" Fu Tingzhou asked while glancing around, picking cleaning tools from the corner to tidy up the broken porcelain and dirt, wrapping the bear paw succulent in a clean tissue.

Tang Xi slightly raised an eyebrow, lifting her arm to check her watch, "If there’s nothing else, I can prescribe you some medication, and then you can leave. This is a clinic, you are free to go once treated."

The man spoke in a calm, cold tone, "Since this afternoon, you’ve only seen two patients."

Tang Xi, "....."

She knew this man had memory loss, still as sharp-tongued as ever.

Since her transfer to this community hospital, apart from her basic salary, her performance bonuses were very poor.

With just a few patients registered today, it seemed like she’d be earning meagerly this month.

Suddenly, Tang Xi looked up with a smile, "Then how about I prescribe some medicine for you? It can help you sleep if you find yourself unable to sleep tonight."

Fu Tingzhou tilted his chin, signaling her to prescribe the medicine, his treatment card was on the table.

Tang Xi picked up the card and swiped it.

As usual, she inquired again about the condition.

As she prescribed the medicines, she glanced at Fu Tingzhou, bit her lip, and prescribed some expensive and effective medications—mainly expensive ones.

Just to add a bit to her performance.

She briskly prescribed ten treatment courses of medication for the man.

Fu Tingzhou took the card and left the clinic.

Minutes later, Tang Xi saw through the computer back end that Fu Tingzhou had collected the medicine. Her pupils slightly dilated—did he just take the medicine like that? So many expensive treatments, and yet he took them.

Not even a glance?

Not even coming back to ask if there was a mistake with the prescription?

But such an amount of money was negligible for Fu Tingzhou.

Tang Xi purely thought that after his memory loss, his mind really had issues. From their initial few interactions, she wanted to stay away, intimidated. Now, having interacted more, she felt that although his demeanor was still cold, he seemed a bit more humane... not as cold-blooded and ruthless as before.

At least, they could communicate normally now.

But Tang Xi quickly shook her head.

She still wanted to keep her distance from this man, not letting him discover the existence of Tangtang.

She hid from him and gave birth to their daughter, fully aware of the price she paid.

She also knows that he has lost his memories now, making his cold demeanor slightly tempered with a trace of human warmth. However, inherently, he remains Fu Tingzhou. Once he regains his memory, he will revert to the cold and heartless person he was before.

Tang Xi will never forget how she escaped from North City.

Escaping from that prison that trapped her.

Escaping from the existence of that vortex.

Tang Xi doesn’t know what happened between Fu Tingzhou and Su Mengshu, nor does she know why Fu Tingzhou suddenly lost all his memory and changed the people close to him.

But Tang Xi knows that this man does not love her.

-

Outpatient hall.

Fu Tingzhou got his medicine, looking at the doctor across the medicine counter who frowned at him, "So many treatments, are you sure? Do you want to confirm with the attending doctor?"

The person looked at Fu Tingzhou, nodded, and urged him to hurry, surprise showing in the doctor’s eyes.

"Alright, follow the doctor’s orders, there is an instruction manual on top, you can confirm the details with the attending doctor."

Fu Tingzhou holding two big plastic bags of medicine, how much medicine did that woman, Tang Xi, prescribe to him?

He slightly frowned, noticing the astonished and sympathetic looks from the people around him, as if he was a drug dealer coming here to stock up... It was the first time Fu Tingzhou was faced with such gazes, and he suddenly felt a helpless mix of amusement and frustration.

Passing by the nurse’s station, Fu Tingzhou asked, "What time do the doctors here finish work in the afternoon?"

"Five-thirty."

-

This afternoon, Tang Xi only had two patients.

At five-thirty when she finished work, Tang Xi took the teddy bear wrapped in tissue paper from her desk, ready to take it home and place it properly; she carried her bag and left the hospital.

Right outside the hospital was a bus stop—Tang Xi’s means of transportation.

While waiting at the bus stop, a Maybach came instead of the bus.

A black Maybach stopped in front of her.

Two young girls standing nearby were discussing the car’s appearance and price.

The car window slowly rolled down, Fu Tingzhou glanced at her and gave her a ’get in’ look.

Tang Xi hesitated for a moment and didn’t move.

She wondered how Fu Tingzhou was still around.

Where he had popped up from.

At that moment, the bus arrived, stopping behind the Maybach honking its horn, urging it to move.

But Fu Tingzhou did not budge, continuing to look at her. This time the man spoke up, his tone cold, "Get in the car, don’t make me repeat myself."

Left with no choice, Tang Xi sat in the passenger seat. As soon as she settled in, the car sped off.

Tang Xi hadn’t fastened her seatbelt, her body lunged forward due to inertia, bumping her forehead slightly.

In the corner of her eye, she saw the man’s lips curve slightly.

She knew Fu Tingzhou did it on purpose.

Yet, he could also act so childishly.

Boring!

It was now rush hour, and the road was congested.

Tang Xi looked out the car window, "Where are you taking me?"

The road to her home wasn’t this one.

Fu Tingzhou didn’t answer her, just continued driving, intermittently stopping due to traffic and then continuing.

Tang Xi looked at him, "Where exactly are you taking me? I need to know."

This time the man spoke, still watching the road ahead, his voice a bit hoarse and casual, "Later, I have a cocktail party, just stand beside me."

"Then why are you looking for me? Isn’t Gao Youhan suitable, or that female assistant beside you?"

"You are my ex-wife." Fu Tingzhou paused for two seconds, "The most suitable person to stand by my side."

Tang Xi was stunned.

The most suitable person to stand by his side.

Hearing this sentence, Tang Xi looked at him, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but didn’t know how.

That statement suddenly made her feel sour in her heart.
