Chapter 1008 - Votive Master (2/2)

“It’s Wei Jiuqin who told me to find you.” Chen Ge dropped Doctor Wei’s name immediately.

“Who?”

“When you were studying at Jiujiang Medical University…”

“I’m asking who you are. My teacher passed many years ago. I was there to give him the send-off. You’d better not joke about something like this.” Doctor Fang was angered, but from this, it showed that he still had a great deal of respect for Wei Jiuqin.

“Actually, Doctor Wei was my relative. He admired you a lot and often mentioned you to me.” Chen Ge said something that only Doctor Wei and Fang Zhiming would know, and only then did the latter start to believe Chen Ge.

“I think I get what is going on already, but for now, I am unable to help the boy do the operation.” Fang Zhiming sounded increasingly tired. “Lately, I have been spacing out at work, and some time ago, there was a medical incident. Currently, I am in no position to conduct surgery. I still need some time to recuperate.”

“What happened to you?” Chen Ge could hear the lethargy in Fang Zhiming’s voice like it drained him even to speak.

“Actually, it was nothing serious. Previously, the hospital was renovating an old sector. I found a letter in the old storeroom. I opened it out of curiosity, and the letter told to go to some abandoned hospital in the middle of the night. If I refused, I would have hell to pay. Never mind, why am I telling you this?”

“It’s fine. Perhaps I can give you a good suggestion. Even if I can’t help you, it is better to share this with others than to have it cooped up inside you.” Chen Ge’s interest was piqued.

“The letter was probably some prank from a patient. I did not think too much of it, but later, I kept having this recurring nightmare. I dreamed about this smiling person.” Fang Zhiming sighed. “The man stood under my building every night at the same position, staring at my window.”

“A smiling person?” Instantly the term ‘non-smiler’ appeared in Chen Ge’s mind.

“Initially, I thought it was because of work pressure getting to me. But one night, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw the curtain fluttering. I climbed out of bed, attempting to close the window, and when I was by the window, I saw that there was this man with his giant grin standing under my building, just like the scenario from my dream!”

“Are you being followed by some strange admirer?”

“I have no clue, but that man only appeared once and never showed up after that. But my work and life have both been seriously affected. My mind keeps wander to this issue.” Fang Zhiming was in a bad spot. “You are my beloved teacher’s relative, but in my condition, I really cannot help you. However, I can recommend other good doctors to you. Bring the boy over as soon as you can. The earlier the cochlear implant surgery is done, the better.”

“Doctor Fang, I will bring the boy over as soon as I can, but other than that, I have run into the situation that you mentioned earlier.” Chen Ge lowered his voice. “Certain things cannot be explained so openly. Trust me this time. I will recommend a contact of mine. He is a good friend of Doctor Wei’s. If you feel like you have reached your breaking point, you need to contact him.”

“My teacher’s friend?”

“When you communicate with him, you have to remember one thing. Do not hide anything from him. Only by telling him everything you know will he be able to help you.” Chen Ge sent the man his other social account. “I do not know that man’s real name, but Doctor Wei called him the Votive Master.”
