"But why didn't my grandma tell anyone else, just like my grandpa?" Zhang Shuping raised his doubts.
"Your grandpa didn't keep it from others. He just didn't plan to see a doctor and wanted to treat himself, that was his mistake. A healer should not heal themselves." Cao Yong corrected him.
Looking at it this way, was grandma actually in a better situation than grandpa? As a medical student, Zhang Shuping also knew that diseases needed to be discovered and treated early.
"Why did you become a doctor? Because you admire your grandparents?" Cao Yong asked him.
"Yes." Zhang Shuping nodded.
"If you admire your grandparents, you should know that when their teachers were sick, when their parents were sick, they might have been asked to treat them," Cao Yong said, "If you want to be a doctor, there will certainly come a day when you're like me."
Zhang Shuping clenched the chopsticks in his hand tightly, swallowing saliva in his throat gulp by gulp, his heartbeat seemed to jump out.
