Huo Ankang was unwilling to say more, merely claiming he was tired and went back to his room to rest.
Lin Anning gazed at his tightly shut door and closed her eyes.
Before she had the opportunity to think it over, villagers came to call on her for medical treatment.
After the busy day, darkness had fallen, and she returned home too exhausted to even lift her fingers.
Zhang Fenglan felt terribly distressed for her and brought out the food she had saved for her, urging her to eat first.
"Ning Nini, how about you quit being the village doctor? I see how important your studies are, and I'm worried about your health. Besides, being a village doctor is prone to trouble."
Lin Anning picked up her bowl and began to eat slowly, smiling somewhat helplessly.
"Mom, I'll keep working for now, and I'll apply to Chief Wu to see if we can get another village doctor transferred here."
"Until someone takes over, I can't just drop everything."
