Chapter 18: Beautiful Twin Sisters in Intensive Care Medicine

“…” Zheng Ren had not expected the young lady to misunderstand so completely. However, he was simply a doctor who frequented only two places—his rented house and the hospital—so it was not unexpected that he knew nothing of courts.h.i.+p and romance.

Survival was difficult and punis.h.i.+ng enough for Zheng Ren, and so it was impossible for him to spare time for trivialities.

He had absolutely no idea how much hara.s.sment beautiful young women encountered in public.

Whatever Zheng Ren had in his mind failed to leave his mouth.

“Sister, Doctor Zheng may lack in the looks department, but he is actually a good and skillful man.” Xie Yiren tried to lend Zheng Ren a helping hand.

Critical hit x10. 3

The young lady made no attempt to continue the conversation. Instead, she stared at Zheng Ren coldly with an icy smirk on her face, waiting patiently for him to continue his charade.

“Lady, your mother is sick.” Zheng Ren cut straight to the point after soothing his broken heart.

“Bang!” The young lady slammed the table in exasperation and yelled, “Your mother is the one who’s sick!”

Xie Yiren helplessly stole a glance at Zheng Ren. His courts.h.i.+p skills were atrocious… Why did he initiate a conversation with a verbal a.s.sault?

She was mortified; it was as if invasive tumor cells of shame were rampaging through her body. How she wished the earth would open up and swallow her whole so that she could escape this awkward situation.

Zheng Ren apologized quickly after realizing his mistake. “Sorry, I’m terribly sorry. What I’m trying to say is your mother is having a heart attack, so stop eating crayfish and please go to the hospital as quickly as you can.”

“Your mother has a heart attack!” shouted the vexed young lady, who seemed to have lost all sense of rationality.

The attention of every diner in the restaurant was drawn by her thunderous voice.

Zheng Ren waved his hands quickly and gestured for her to lower her voice. “No, please listen to me. Your mother recently suffered symptoms such as lower jaw pain, right?”

“Huh?” replied the young lady doubtfully. This hideous man was really a doctor? 2

“That is an atypical symptom of a heart attack, not just a toothache or random pain due to facial nerve damage. Spicy crayfish will stimulate and aggravate her condition quite a bit so it’s better if she stops taking it now,” Zheng Ren explained seriously.

His words convinced her to some extent. Her mother had recently visited the hospital for a consultation and, after ruling out periodontal diseases, the doctor suspected she might have neuralgia.

Still, she remained suspicious. Had a G.o.d of medicine descended to the mortal world to give her a definitive diagnosis of her mother’s condition while they were eating crayfish? What were the odds?

The mother wiped her mouth with tissue after hearing her daughter’s irritation and asked, “Yanran, what happened?”

“Auntie… No, older sister, can you please come over?” asked Zheng Ren.

“Yes?”

Zheng Ren explained himself once again and gave the mother a shock.

“That’s one symptom of a heart attack. The symptoms aren’t obvious yet due to your age and the severity of the disease, but you must go to the hospital and get yourself checked. If you experience a sudden major heart attack at home, your life will be in danger,” Zheng Ren concluded.

The mother was left in a difficult position. She was merely experiencing slight discomfort rather than intense pain, so the diagnosis of a heart attack seemed difficult to believe at best and unconvincing at worst. “Where can I get myself checked at this hour?”

“An electrocardiogram, serum myoglobin, troponins, and myocardial enzymes are some of the basic tests we can do to diagnose a heart attack. I’m a doctor in the emergency department at Sea City General Hospital. Please trust me,” replied Zheng Ren.

The mother was deeply perturbed after listening to his explanation.

However, the twin sisters were not entirely convinced. They both stared at Zheng Ren and said in unison:

“My name is Chu Yanran.”

“My name is Chu Yanzhi.”

“Oh… I’m Zheng Ren, a doctor in the emergency department at Sea City General Hospital.”

After the brief introduction, Chu Yanran said calmly, “We’re both postgraduate students in intensive care medicine at West China University. I have some questions that need clarification.”
