Ling Yiran was at the hospital visiting Lil Yan. This time, Lil Yan was awake and interacting with Zhuo Qianyun who was also in the room. Zhuo Qianyun was pointing at various objects and telling Lil Yan what they were.
Lil Yan was listening attentively, literally listening. He would occasionally point at the item that Zhuo Qianyun mentioned earlier and she would repeat it for him.
Ling Yiran called out, “Lil Yan.”
At that moment, the boy turned around to look in her direction.
This had never happened before. That meant that Lil Yan could hear her voice! Ling Yiran was elated for the boy.
Since Lil Yan could hear now, it meant that there was a chance he could learn to speak in the future. As long as he wore a hearing aid, he could then function like a normal person.
Although three years old was a little late as doctors usually recommend that treatment begin as early as possible, the opportunity was not completely over as most children are not fully developed yet and would still absorb new sounds and languages like a sponge.
Ling Yiran went forward and ruffled the boy’s head. “Lil Yan, you can now hear sounds. It won’t be long before you start talking.”
The boy was very excited to hear Ling Yiran’s voice. He waved both hands. Then, he pointed all over the room while making some audible sounds as if trying to express himself.
Ling Yiran smiled and responded to each item that the boy pointed at.
“You and him...” Zhuo Qianyun hesitated for a moment. “You don’t need to make yourself so tired by working as a delivery person at my shop. Mr. Yi can find you plenty of suitable jobs.”
Who would have thought that Yi Jinli’s girlfriend would be working as a delivery person in her small restaurant? Even Zhuo Qianyun herself could hardly believe that.
Ling Yiran pursed her lips and said, “Perhaps... But probably out of dignity, I wish that I can be independent to a certain degree. I don’t wish to become a parasite who relies fully on him.”
Perhaps the lesson she obtained from her relationship with Xiao Ziqi was so great that she was insistent on this matter up till now.
