Ding Yuanchao was a doctor in his seventies, but despite his age and thin frame, he was alert and full of vitality.

After checking Erbao's pulse and tongue, he asked about her latest condition and finally made his diagnosis.

“This child was poisoned before, and even though the toxins are gone, her health has already been affected,” Dr. Ding explained. “If we don't treat it in time, she might not grow beyond one hundred and thirty centimeters.”

Upon hearing that, Erbao burst into tears. “I don't want to be short! I want to grow big and tall...”

“Oh, don't cry! There will only be dire consequences if it's left untreated. If we treat it now, everything will be fine. So long as you take your medicine regularly, you'll be healthy and tall!” Ding Yuanchao explained before looking at Cheng Xiangyun with a sheepish smile. “Sorry to have frightened your daughter. I should've made myself clearer.”

“She's not my daughter. I'm just a friend of her mother's,” Cheng Xiangyun hastily explained.

“Oh, that must mean she's your daughter,” Ding Yuanchao said as he turned to Lu Jingyuan. “I thought you only had two daughters, though. When did you have another? Then again, I must say I can see the resemblance.”

Lu Jingyuan, too, broke into a smile. “No, she's not my child. The kid's mother's not here, so we're just helping out. Is she all right?”

“Of course. She'll be back to normal once she's taken the first dose of my medicine, and after the second, she'll be fully cured and healthier than ever!” Ding Yuanchao said confidently.

“Thank you, Dr. Ding!”

“Thank you Dr. Great-Grandpa!” Erbao chimed in happily.

Ding Yuanchao instantly burst out laughing. “Hahaha. Did you just call me Dr. Great-Grandpa? What an interesting title.”

“Yes, because you look a lot like my Great-Grandpa. That's why you're Dr. Great-Grandpa!”

“Hahaha. Good, I like the sound of that,” Ding Yuanchao remarked. “I'll prescribe the medicine for you now. Once it's brewed, you'll have to drink it three times a day. It's a little bitter, but I want you to finish it, okay? That way, you'll grow into a tall and beautiful young lady. Are we clear?”

“Understood!” Erbao answered obediently. “I'll be good and finish my medicine.”

With that, the doctor once again turned to Cheng Xiangyun. “She's such an adorable kid. Where are her parents, though? Why haven't they brought her here themselves when they know she's feeling unwell?”
