Shin and Huian (3)
Xiang Qingge asked while serving tea. "So, how is everything in the hospital, Shin?"
Shin nodded. "It's good, Aunt. All my patients are recovering under my treatment. Some have shown great progress, and there are two major surgeries planned, but I am confident that they will succeed. What else does a doctor want?"
Xiang Wei and Xiang Qingge nodded in appreciation. "That's a fine way of thinking. Wei and I are also truly grateful to you for helping Huian recover. If not for you, then she wouldn't have been standing before us like this," her eyes teared a bit.
Huian smiled.
"It was my job, Aunt Xiang, and I couldn't have done it without Huian's help. The patient's mental fortitude is just as important to recover, not just the treatment."
Xiang Wei smiled. "En. So, tell us. What brought you two here?"
Shin silently took a deep breath. "Uncle, Aunt. I have come here to ask Huian's hand in marriage."
