Zhou Qiao now talks to Luo Ya on the phone almost every day, or videos for a while, to ask about her physical condition.

Luo Ya was a little jealous, and said resentfully: "I haven't seen you care so much about me before, sometimes there is no news for many days, and now that I am pregnant with a baby, I will be regarded as a treasure." ”

Zhou Qiao: "...... What this says, it matters where the baby has you. It took a lot of effort to appease Luo Ya to make her happy.

I have to say that Luo Ya, a strong woman, is rarely coquettish, and she is very cute whenever she is coquettish. Perhaps, it's because it's rare.

When revealing the posture and tone of the little daughter, it is completely different from the image in front of outsiders, which is heart-pounding.

Just imagine, the kind of existence in front of outsiders, high up, big boss, who says the same, curled up in his arms in private like a kitten, that kind of sense of achievement, how can an ordinary man bear it?

Although Zhou Qiao is not an ordinary man, he can't bear it.

Loya is still living in Christe Mills County for the time being, and she needs to work, so she is escorted by Jaggy or Lucina to Austin, the capital of Texas, or the big city of Houston to participate in some activities, which are relatively close anyway, and it will not take much time.

If it's work that can be done online, such as a meeting, it's often a video link at the wine estate.

She specially built a luxury command center in the wine estate, which has many large screens, as well as stereos, leather sofas, carpets, refrigerators, snacks, fruits, coffee, black tea, desserts, ......, various supporting equipment, and video conferencing is not too convenient.

That is, now that she is pregnant, it is inconvenient to drink, otherwise, the various aged wines in the manor do not know how delicious they are.

After all, Christ Mills has her own hospital, where it is more convenient for the medical staff to call, and if there is a need, the whole hospital will revolve around her.

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Sequoia Tree Hospital has reserved an ultra-luxurious suite for Loya's occasional needs.

If you go there to do a check-up, you can rest in that suite. Then the wine estate is also staffed with dedicated obstetrician and gynaecological medical staff, who live on the estate and are on call 24 hours a day.

Some minor examinations were done directly in the infirmary of the estate.

It's still a small month, it doesn't matter, when the month is older in the future, or it's almost the due date, Luo Ya plans to go directly to the Sequoia Tree Hospital.

And when the time comes, Zhou Qiao will definitely go over in advance. The hardware conditions of Sequoia Tree Hospital are okay, plus there are top celebrities like Zhou Qiao, and Luo Ya's own physique has always been excellent, so there will be no problems.

While Texas has hurricanes from June to November, Christer Mills County is a relatively in-back area that is not the hardest hit by hurricanes, and the annual damage is much smaller than that of the coastal city of Houston.

Moreover, the wine estate and the Sequoia Tree Hospital are equipped with independent power generation systems and water treatment systems, so they are not afraid of power and water cuts.

As for food reserves, it goes without saying. Just in the cellars of the wine estates, you don't know how many good things are stored.

Zhou Qiao was at the Iris Clinic and also stocked up on a lot of food and medicine.

Murphy, Stephanie, and Elena also stock up on food and bottled water in their new houses.

With food in hand and no panic in mind, the United States often has some unexpected situations. There are many people who are even keen to build safe houses, such as to prevent nuclear war, the end of the world, the virus raging, and so on.

It's also an element of many American blockbusters. Some people build safe houses, but there are also some people who are purely for fun, or use them to shoot short videos to get traffic.

Not to mention humans, even the little squirrels playing and chasing on the big oak tree in front of the iris clinic are keen to collect fruits. Sometimes there are so many places to hide that they forget about themselves.

Park so-joo brought a middle-aged couple over, and the other party's daughter was Park Yoona's classmate. Recently, I was found to have a strange disease, and I have seen it in the clinic or hospital nearby, and I have done a lot of tests, but it has not had much effect. No specific organic lesions were identified.

Then during an exchange, Park Xiuzhu talked about the achievements of the Iris Clinic, and the other party moved his mind and wanted to come over to Zhou Qiao to have a look.

The day before, Park Xiuzhu also mentioned this matter to Zhou Qiao, which is equivalent to making an appointment.

Zhou Qiao borrowed Stephanie's consultation room and asked the couple, along with their daughter, to sit down in the consultation room and inquire about the condition.

That girl is about the same age as Yuna, but she is far taller and stronger than Yuna, Yuna is a typical Korean girl, the kind of bird, and this girl is a European and American fat girl type.

It's just that although the girl is chubby and tall, her complexion is not very good, and she looks sluggish and tired.

The girl's mother carefully described her daughter's abnormality to Zhou Qiao, that is, she had a quirk, always sneaking up at night, looking for raw meat and fish at home, and stealing these fishy things.

The girl's mother once heard the movement and found out, and was shocked when she saw it, but she tried to call her daughter, but the daughter refused, and after eating a piece of raw meat, she went back to sleep on her own.

The girl's father was also shocked when he found out, and then the couple decided to take their daughter to the family doctor after discussion. But the family doctor did not respond well, and then two more doctors were referred, but they were also unable to do so, and now they are coming here.

Iris Clinic is now in the top 5 of California's medical circles.

"Have you had diarrhea before?" Zhou Qiao asked.

The girl's mother shook her head and said, "No, it's just that you don't have a good appetite during the day." ”

Zhou Qiao couldn't help but sigh, worthy of being a foreigner, his body is so good, if the Chinese eat like this, he would have a stomach trouble and a mess.

"How long has this been a symptom?"

The girl's mother said: "When I found out, it was almost half a month ago, and before that, I didn't know. When I asked her, she said she didn't remember at all. ”

The girl's father added: "Whenever that happens, the next day, when we talk to her, she is full of horror and disbelief, screaming in denial, shouting that it is impossible. Then, I showed her the video I had secretly taken the night before, and she had to accept the cruel truth. Oh my sweet little darling, so pathetic. ”

Perhaps it was the father's words that brought back memories in the girl's mind, and she recalled her disgusting self in the video, and couldn't help but start to retch.

The girl's mother quickly took her in her arms and patted her on the back to comfort her.

The little girl hid in her mother's arms, her eyes blinked, and she suddenly asked Zhou Qiao: "Doctor, do you think I will be an atavistic phenomenon?" Or is it going to mutate into a zombie or a vampire? ”

Zhou Qiao shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't think about it. Zombies and vampires are just fictional things in movies or legends, and they don't necessarily exist in reality. And vampires only suck blood, and don't eat raw meat. As for atavism, based on my medical experience, it is unlikely. ”

"So what's going on?" The girl asked worriedly.

The girl's parents also looked at Zhou Qiao pitifully, how they hoped that this famous doctor Zhou could help solve their daughter's damn problem.

Ever since the news of the disease spread, some naughty children at school have laughed at their daughter, and she has had several fights with boys as a result. She even wanted to bring a gun to school and give the damn guys who laughed at her "Bu Tu Bu Bu".

Fortunately, the girl's mother dissuaded her in time, so that no tragedy occurred.

Stephanie blinked, and said in her heart, this should be sleepwalking, such a serious situation, but it needs psychological counseling. Well, I'm good at this, and Joe is especially good at it, you've come to the right place!

Sure enough, Zhou Qiao pondered for a moment and said: "In the case of a little girl, consider sleepwalking, which is what we often call sleepwalking." If I'm not mistaken, the little girl's problem must have occurred at a very young age. ”

"Sleepwalking? Very little? The girl's mother was suspicious, and then looked at her husband. The husband shrugged and said he didn't know.

As for the little girl, she was even more confused, how did she know.

"Think about it carefully, when she was a child, did she fall asleep and suddenly get up and go around?" Zhou Qiao was kind and seductive.

Not long after, suddenly, the girl's father slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Perhaps, there really is." ”

"Huh?" The girl's mother was surprised, turned her head and asked, "Why didn't I know?" ”

"Well, it was when my baby was five years old, and I took her to my mother's for a vacation, and you didn't go with her." The girl's father's look seemed to have returned to years ago.

"Well, it was a very happy afternoon, she was having a lot of fun, she was quite tired, she was sweating profusely, and then, she fell asleep on the sofa in the living room, and then, as Dr. Zhou described, fell asleep, and suddenly climbed down from the sofa and walked around the neighborhood."

Not only did the girl's mother listen to it with relish, but the little girl was also very curious about what happened back then. Zhou Qiao and Stephanie were also listening carefully.

The girl's father continued: "I asked her if she wanted to pee, but she ignored me, and after another turn, she climbed onto the sofa and fell into a deep sleep again. ”

"Alas, if you don't mention it Dr. Zhou, I can't even remember." The girl's father was very emotional and ashamed, if he had been more vigilant at that time, and took her to the hospital for examination earlier, or found a psychiatrist, perhaps, it would not have developed so seriously as it is now.

"Is there anything else that comes after?" The girl's mother asked.

"Of course not. Just that once. The girl's father shrugged.

The two of them regretted it a little. It should have been noticed and taken sooner rather than later.

However, in addition to regretting, I can't help but show a little joy, because I really gained from coming to Dr. Zhou, if the cause is really found, there must be a symptomatic treatment here?

looked at Zhou Qiao expectantly.

Zhou Qiao nodded and said: "This should be sleepwalking, but her condition is a bit serious, and it is not enough to use drugs alone, and it also needs to be combined with superb psychological counseling techniques." And this is something that both me and Dr. Stephanie at our clinic are particularly good at. ”

Stephanie was on the side, and couldn't help but shrug her shoulders slightly arrogantly. recalled that Zhou Qiao had given her dream guidance many times, and she couldn't help but have an endless aftertaste.

Sleepwalking is usually more common in children and adolescents, but the incidence decreases as the nervous system matures.

It is usually manifested in doing some mechanical movements, generally not answering other people's questions, and if answering, it can only say a few simple words.

The causes of this disease are complex, and generally appear in a state of high mental stress and fatigue. For example, when this little girl was five years old at her grandmother's house, she might just be too tired from playing.

As for the current cause, Zhou Qiao estimated that it was most likely mental, such as study pressure. Because the couple also belonged to the more affluent elite, the children attended the same school as Yuna.

Would a person like Park so-joo choose the kind of "happy education" school for his daughter? Apparently not.

There are two kinds of education in the United States, "happy education" mostly belongs to the children of poor families, and "elite education" belongs to the children of wealthy families.

The vast majority of elites will not let their children enjoy the so-called "happy education".

Happy education, to put it bluntly, is lying flat and rotten, and you can't go to college anyway. Because a good university needs a letter of recommendation, who do children from poor families go to write letters of recommendation?

Since you can't get on, isn't it good to have fun happily?

Of course, no matter what, there are exceptions, and there will always be some children who will be killed from the bottom, but this is a minority. It requires excellence, self-discipline and hard work. Perhaps, a little luck is needed, or the help of nobles.

Sure enough, next, after Stephanie's guidance, the girl opened her heart, and it was really too much academic pressure. Especially, he was swept up by Yuna.

When Park Xiuzhu heard about it, she simply: "......" I'll go, is my child to blame?

Girl's parents: "......"

Zhou Qiao comforted them that it is a good thing that there is competition among classmates, because when they grow up and enter society, competition is actually everywhere. The situation of their daughters is related to the lack of love and affection of their parents.

"Understand, understand, we must care more about the child in the future."

"In addition, don't put some sharp objects in the house in a place that is easy to touch, especially if there are firearms, you must lock them up." Zhou Qiao advised.

If the girl gets up in the middle of the night and suddenly touches the gun, and then accidentally gives herself a blow, it will really cause a tragedy. This kind of tragedy caused by guns is not too much in the United States.

For example, there was a news report of a policeman's child playing with a firearm brought home by his father, and then accidentally went off and died.

Some parents even give guns as gifts to their teenage children, which naturally leads to tragedy.

Guns are such things, once they are let go, they can't be contained at all.

"These drugs are used for sedation and hypnosis, taken before bedtime, and the other thing is, every other day, come to Dr. Stephanie for psychological counseling, and I believe that it will not be long before she will return to normal."

"Thank you, thank you." The girl's parents thanked her again and again and left with the girl.

This diagnosis and treatment is naturally effective, not to mention anything else, just talking about Stephanie's psychological counseling, when the girl opens her heart, confides in her heart, and is guided by Stephanie, the whole person's mental state is different, becoming cheerful and smiling, compared with the state of malaise and psychological pressure when she comes, it is completely different.

The girl's parents saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts. Sometimes, it's really important to find the right doctor.
