Chapter 45: The Autistic Child

  But since I've taken their money, I have to help them out anyway. Now they're coming to me with more trouble.

  Within two days, Li Weidong suddenly called him and said that a friend's child also had autism. He heard that Xiaoyang's autism was completely cured, so he went to his place to ask for advice and asked where he was cured.

  Li Weidong had no choice but to tell him that he was cured here in Yenan and promised to bring him over to take a look, asking Ye Nan to get ready.

  Half an hour later, Li Weidong brought in a thirty-year-old young man with a lot of momentum and a child.

  Ye Nan quickly stood up to greet him, Li Weidong smiled and shook hands with him, then patted Ye Nan's shoulder and introduced the young man beside him: "Come on... Ye Nan, let me introduce you, this is Mayor Wang's assistant!"

  "Deputy Mayor?" Wang Weidong startled Ye Nan, this was a leadership-level figure. Although Ye Nan wasn't very clear about some of the ranks in officialdom, he still knew that a deputy mayor was a real power holder.

  Ye Nan hastily stretched out his hand and smiled: "Assistant Wang, hello!" Assistant Wang nodded kindly at Ye Nan, stretched out his hand, grasped Ye Nan's hand, looked at Ye Nan with a smile and said: "I didn't expect Dr. Ye to be so young, yet your medical skills are so exquisite, really can't judge a person by appearance!" He didn't seem surprised at all by Ye Nan's youth, apparently Li Weidong had already made things clear earlier.

  Ye Nan thought to herself: "You're also young, and now you're already the mayor's assistant, much more capable than me."

  However, he just muttered to himself and hastily smiled humbly: "Oh no, oh no, Assistant Wang is overpraising me!" After that, he quickly pulled over two chairs and invited Ye to sit down.

  Director Li of the department in front, who was sitting at the head, looked at the two people looking for Ye Nan, and had been listening with his ears perked up. Hearing that it was the mayor's assistant, he quickly ran out to fetch two cups of tea.

  Ye Nan whispered: "He's really a bootlicker..." But still didn't dare to be slow, smiling and introducing to Wang Assistant: "This is our department's Director Li!"

  Director Li hurriedly bowed and smiled, extending both hands: "Assistant Wang, hello!"

  Wang's assistant sat smiling and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Director Li: "Director Li is great, the doctors he has trained are all elites!"

  "Ah, ah..." Director Li fawned enthusiastically for a moment before asking cautiously: "Honorable Assistant Wang has arrived, I wonder if there's anything we can do for you?"

  Wang's assistant smiled and said, "Last time, Li's child was treated by Dr. Ye for a period of time and recovered well. My child is also similar to Li's child, so I brought him over specifically to let Dr. Ye take a look."

  Director Li looked at Ye Nan, who was specified by someone else, and could only smile awkwardly. He said to Ye Nan, "Ye Nan, Assistant Wang thinks highly of you, so you must take responsibility for checking on the young master." Ye Nan quickly nodded in agreement.

  Ye Nan didn't dare to say anything more and started asking about the medical history carefully. Assistant Wang then recounted the entire process of the illness from start to finish.

  It turned out that five or six years ago, when Wang's assistant was transferred to the city, he was very busy with work and his wife was still working outside. He handed over the child to his grandparents in the countryside to take care of him. Usually, due to busy work, there is little time to go back to the countryside to see the child, even if he went, it would only be a short stay for half a day before leaving again.

  Three years later, work stabilized, and my wife was transferred back to Dongjiang. We then brought our child back home. After bringing the child back, we found that he had an extremely introverted personality, fearing social interactions, and only slightly warming up in front of his parents, but still being very cold and rarely showing affection towards us.

  At that time, I thought it was because he had been in the countryside for too long and would be fine after a while. Who knew that after a year, the situation became more and more severe? Only then did I take him to see a doctor at the Provincial People's Hospital, where he was diagnosed with autism.

  At that time, the couple was stunned when they heard about it. Under the doctor's advice, they returned to their hometown to investigate the cause of the illness. It turned out that when the child was in the countryside, he was often bullied by local children. The child was timid and didn't dare tell his grandparents even after being bullied. He became afraid of strangers and gradually became more introverted. Eventually, he stopped responding to people altogether. At the time, his grandparents hadn't noticed anything unusual and thought it was just the child's personality, which led to the development of autism.

  After inquiring about the cause of the illness, I took my child to several large hospitals for treatment for over two years, but there was no significant improvement. Now they are almost ten years old and basically never leave the house or interact with outsiders.

  However, during hospital treatment, I met Li Weidong who was also treating his child in the hospital. At that time, the doctor's diagnosis of the two children was similar, saying it would be very difficult to cure them.

  I recently heard that Li Weidong's child has been cured of his illness, and with a glimmer of hope, I found Li Weidong and came here after listening to his introduction.

  After listening to Assistant Wang's introduction, Ye Nan had some confidence in his heart. He asked Assistant Wang to bring the child to the examination room and smiled at him: "I'll give him a check-up first, you wait outside for now!"

  Li Weidong understood Ye Nan's situation and knew he was about to use his special ability, so he smiled and nodded at Wang Assistant: "Let's go outside and wait first, don't disturb Ye Nan!" Only then did Wang Assistant feel relieved and leave!

  Only Ye Nan and the two children were left in the room, the child sat stupidly on the stool, lowering his head to play with his fingers, Ye Nan walked over and softly called out the child's name: Wang Jun!

  The child raised his head and looked at him coldly, then lowered his head again. Ye Nan paid: "At least this kid still has some reaction, it's easier to deal with."

  With this thought, she waved her hand and cast a calming spell, gradually the child was affected by the spell, quickly calmed down and stopped playing with his fingers, slowly falling asleep.

  Ye Nan held the child and put him on the examination table, stretched out his fingers to press on the Yintang acupoint, and transmitted his spiritual consciousness over. He found that he was in the same situation as Xiaoyang before, with the Zifu full of that gloomy and oppressive aura.

  Ye Nan tried to draw out a Clear Mind Mantra and infused it in, as the spiritual energy of the Clear Mind Mantra dispersed, that oppressive aura was driven away in part.

  Ye Nan felt a sense of relief, pushed open the door and walked out quietly. Wang's assistant, who was waiting outside, hurried over to ask: "Dr. Ye, how is Xiao Jun's condition? Is there any way?"

  Ye Nan was somewhat confident, but not entirely certain, so he smiled and said: "I've roughly checked Little Jun's situation, I can only say that there is hope, but I cannot guarantee it, so I suggest he be treated here for a period of time!"

  After hearing this, Assistant Wang's face clearly had a few points of joy, he knew that Ye Nan dared to let Xiao Jun stay in the hospital, which means he has some confidence, otherwise he would not dare to say such things! He quickly smiled and said: "Okay, as long as there is hope it's good, then Dr. Ye, how long do you think he will need to stay?"

  Ye Nan thought for a moment and said: "You should stay here for half a month. If there's no improvement after half a month, then I can only say sorry!"

  "Only half a month?" Wang's assistant heard this and his eyes widened, previously when he went to see the doctor, they all said that at least half a year of treatment was needed to have some effect, but this young doctor actually said only half a month? This made him feel somewhat incredulous.

  But Li Weidong, who was standing beside him, saw his surprised look and laughed: "Assistant Wang, just believe Ye Nan, he said half a month is half a month, my Xiaoyang has only been there for a week!"

  Wang's assistant felt relieved after hearing this, and tightly grasped Ye Nan's hand, saying: "Doctor Ye, everything is now in your hands, please take good care of it!"
