The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

After completing the entire examination process, most of the day had passed. Fortunately, Dean Xiuyuan was there, and she managed to calm Xiaoming down whenever he became impatient.

A top-tier senior psychiatrist in China reviewed the report and remarked:

"The patient has a typical intellectual disability, caused by congenital brain malformation or brain damage. This condition is irreversible. The situation is very complicated, but it is possible to improve the patient's intelligence through education and training so that they can perform daily activities. Early detection is crucial. I recommend that the patient be hospitalized immediately for treatment, combining medication with psychological counseling, as well as training and education. The earlier the treatment, the better."

Upon hearing this, Dean Xiuyuan hurriedly asked, "Doctor, does this mean that Xiaoming has to be placed here? But he's used to life in the nursing home, and he can't get used to living here! He was just complaining that he wanted to go back to the nursing home!"

The doctor said with a serious expression, "His condition is very serious. If we continue to delay, he may suffer from intellectual decline, and things could get out of control. So he must receive proper treatment now. Returning to his familiar place may give him some peace of mind for a while, but... it will only make his condition worse and worse over time, and it will be difficult to reverse."

Upon hearing this, Dean Xiuyuan was in a state of confusion and lost her focus. She looked at Andy:

"Sister Xiaoming, what do you think?"

After all, Xiaoming is Andy's younger brother, so it's definitely up to Andy to make the decision on such an important matter.

Andy thought for a moment, then calmly said:

“Dean Xiuyuan, I know you feel sorry for Xiaoming, but as you just heard from the doctor, Xiaoming’s illness requires hospitalization and long-term intervention. I’m afraid he can’t come back to Daishan with you. Perhaps Xiaoming will be afraid and scared after leaving his familiar environment, but… it’s not that I’m heartless, but how can a phoenix be reborn without going through a rebirth?”

"This..." Dean Xiuyuan sighed and said, "Sister Xiaoming, you are right, but I'm a soft-hearted person. When I think of Xiaoming crying and making a fuss, I... I just can't bear it!"

"That's only natural," Bai Ye comforted her. "As the old saying goes, concern can cloud judgment!"

That's pretty much how things were decided.

Andy has always been a calm and composed person, and she is able to make a decision when faced with such a situation.

Inside the hospital, Xiaoming was taken away by medical staff, crying and shouting for Dean Xiuyuan.

However, Dean Xiuyuan, who had already been persuaded by the doctor and Andy, naturally couldn't step forward to stop them at this point and could only watch helplessly.

“Xiaoming’s sister, how about…” Dean Xiuyuan hesitated for a long time before saying, “I’ll stay here and stay with Xiaoming for two days to let him get used to the environment. If we suddenly leave this child in a completely unfamiliar place, I’m afraid he won’t be able to handle it.”

“Dean Xiuyuan, it’s wonderful that you did this,” Andy said. “Actually, that’s what I was thinking too, but I was too embarrassed to ask you, since Xiaoming has already troubled you so much.”

“It’s hardly a problem,” Dean Xiuyuan said. “I’ve been taking care of Xiaoming for over ten years, and I’ve always treated him like my own son.”

"Hmm." Andy nodded and said, "But won't this interfere with Dean Xiuyuan's work?"

Sword Comes

“There’s no rush,” Director Xiuyuan said. “The things at the nursing home are all institutionalized, and there’s not much for me to handle. I just do some odd jobs on weekdays.”

After a busy day, Bai Ye and Andy hadn't eaten much, so they decided to go buy some food first.

On the road.

Andy sighed:

“I owe Dean Xiuyuan too much. Over the years, if it weren’t for her taking good care of Xiaoming, I can’t believe what Xiaoming would be like now.”

Judging from Xiaoming's dependence on Dean Xiuyuan, many things are self-evident; she is someone who genuinely cares for Xiaoming.

Bai Ye nodded: "Dean Xiuyuan is indeed a good person!"

"How should I thank Dean Xiuyuan?" Andy pondered. "Give her money directly? Wouldn't that be too blunt?"

“Judging from Dean Xiuyuan’s appearance, although she may not be extremely wealthy, she is certainly not someone who is short of money,” Bai Ye said. “How about this, donate 500,000 to that nursing home and let Dean Xiuyuan use it to improve the facilities and other things. This is definitely much better than you giving her money directly.”

"is this okay?"

“Domestic matters should be handled in this way,” Bai Ye said. “As long as you include some restrictions in your donation agreement, Dean Xiuyuan will naturally be able to use this donation to achieve the desired effect.”

"Then I'll do as you say!"

Andy nodded.

Five hundred thousand is not a large sum for her.

As a business returnee, Tan Zongming invited her back with an annual salary of 300 million yuan, not including project commissions and stock options. She drove a Porsche 911, and her Armani suit cost 18000 yuan, while a Claene pajama set cost 4500 yuan.

She usually carries Hermès bags, each worth over 20 yuan.

Having worked on Wall Street for so many years, she has accumulated a considerable amount of overseas assets.

In general, Andy's total assets are around fifty million.

Five hundred thousand is the amount of money she would spend on two handbags.

Having resolved the issues between Xiaoming and Dean Xiuyuan, Andy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In an instant, she thought of something else.

Andy and Bai Ye walked down the street, both looking preoccupied.

"what happened?"

Bai Ye noticed that something was wrong with Andy and asked him directly.

“You heard what the doctor said before, right? Xiaoming’s illness is hereditary,” Andy said worriedly. “Xiaoming and I are siblings, we inherited the same genes. Do you think one day I might…”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Bai Ye quickly interrupted Andy, saying:

"This kind of illness isn't so easy to get! I consulted a doctor for you privately earlier. If one of your parents has a mental illness, the risk of their children getting it increases to 15%; if both parents have schizophrenia, the risk increases to 40%. I don't think you're so unlucky that both your parents have mental problems, right? Xiaoming was just unlucky and encountered that 10% chance."

Actually, no. Andy and Xiaoming's mothers are mentally ill, but Andy and Xiaoming do not share the same father. Andy's father is a normal person, while Xiaoming's father is mentally ill. Therefore, Xiaoming's mental illness is more a direct result of his father's condition. Xiaoming simply encountered that 40% chance.

However, Andy was unaware of this matter for the time being, so Bai Ye didn't bring it up.

Overall, Andy's risk of developing the disease should be 15%, which is not a high probability.

"Moreover, this disease usually occurs in young adults, around 20-25 years old. And you... don't have any symptoms yet, which further reduces the likelihood of developing the disease."

"The doctor said that since the genetic part cannot be changed for the time being, we still have a lot of room for prevention for complex diseases like mental illness. For example, we can try to avoid some triggering factors, such as mental stress and long-term pressure."

"Finally, if you are still worried, you can get a genetic test done."

"The doctor also said that while the clinical significance of genetic testing is not so clear for complex diseases, it can be used to assess some risks. For example, there are currently more than 100 gene loci associated with schizophrenia that are being studied, and these loci can be tested to assess the risk of developing the disease."

"When you have time, I'll come with you to the hospital to do a whole genome sequencing, analyzing all the genes and loci related to mental illness, so you won't keep scaring yourself."

Andy was stunned:

"Is there really so much to it about these kinds of things?"

“I used to think that because of my family history and my genes, I was destined not to live like a normal person.”

"You're just being paranoid," Bai Ye said with a helpless smile. "Don't scare yourself. You know, people scaring each other can be deadly! Don't worry, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Eat and drink as usual, and try to be happy. Nothing will change."

Andy said, "But I can't help but think about what would happen to Xiaoming and me if I really turned into him."

"Definitely not! It's not good for you to keep overthinking like this. Why don't you find something else to do to distract yourself?"

"Other things?"

"for example……"

Andy is waiting for Bai Ye's answer.

Suddenly.

Bai Ye gave her a quick kiss on the lips, then laughed and ran off.

Andy was stunned for a moment.

By the time she realized what was happening, Bai Ye had already run quite a distance away.

This made Andy feel both annoyed and amused.

However, Bai Ye's interruption did indeed relax her a lot, and when she thought about those things again, she no longer felt as heavy as before.

For no apparent reason, she thought of Qi Dian, the online friend she had chatted with before. If it were that composed online friend, he would probably only offer her comfort in a composed manner, like an ordinary person, at a time like this.

Point Guard Here

The next day.

Bai Ye and Andy went to the hospital again to observe Xiao Ming's treatment with Dean Xiu Yuan.

how to say?

Xiao Ming was still unfamiliar with the new environment. Every move he made revealed his fear. He curled up like a newborn animal, afraid of this unknown world.

Treatment is a long-term process, and it's impossible to see any results in a short period of time.

"Xiaoming's sister, perhaps... Xiaoming should..."

Dean Xiuyuan's heart softened again when she saw Xiaoming's appearance.

"Dean!" Andy emphasized, "We must ensure that Xiaoming has the ability to survive independently in this world! Otherwise, to put it bluntly, when you and I are both gone... who will take care of Xiaoming then? Are we going to let him be bullied by others without even realizing it in the future? Letting him suffer for a while is to prevent him from suffering for a lifetime!"

"In this life, mountains may crumble, people may run away, it's better to rely on yourself than on others."

"Ah, right, right, right." Bai Ye chimed in, "There was this guy called a doctor who told me when I was very young that people must rely on themselves! I still remember it vividly!"

"These days, Xiaoming is like a child who's been sent to school! I remember one of my cousins ​​was sent to kindergarten, and he was coaxed and tricked into going. The first half of the day was fine; he played with the other children and found it all very novel. But what about the second half? He would get anxious, crying and screaming, and just wouldn't go to kindergarten. But after a week, he would give up and stop struggling."

After hearing what Bai Ye and Andy said, what else could Dean Xiuyuan do?

All they could do was watch Xiaoming's expression and sigh.

at the same time.

In an office in another office building.

"Secretary Li, please go and prepare that gift quickly."

Qu Xiaoxiao said as she tidied up the documents.

"it is good!"

Secretary Li nodded, walked out of the office, and went to get the gifts prepared for the foreign representatives.

"President Qu!"

Secretary Li happened to run into Qu Yongquan as he entered the office.

"Dad?" Qu Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at him. "Why are you here?"

"This is my company, why can't I even come to the meeting room?"
