Taking into account Mr. Hou's expression at the moment, it was not difficult to surmise that there must be some issues with the health of him and his wife, namely infertility.
With Mr. Hou's resources, he had probably consulted many specialized infertility clinics over the years, but to little avail.
"Really?"
Mr. Hou's eyes lit up with eagerness, and he couldn't help but step closer.
"Of course. My main job is as a village doctor, and I have been one in Dahe Village for over a year now," replied Doctor Xiaolong with a calm nod, stating an undisputed fact.
