97 MY FAVOURITE PATIEN (1/2)
Doctor Shui had only worked in the Zhong family hospital for three years. However, he had not seen the legendary heir coming in for treatment or annual check-ups. Still, they knew each other outside of the hospital. In fact, Zhong Feng had been the one to bring him into his current prestigious position.
”Did the young master decide to have a check-up after my pestering?” Doctor Shui asked in good humour when Zhong Feng unceremoniously opened his office door.
Zhong Feng looked at him flatly before stepping in like he owned the place. With this, Hu Lei who was behind him was revealed. Doctor Shui looked on with interest. The cold man was holding the girl's hand in his with obvious possessiveness. Unfortunately, the girl was not familiar in any way. Doctor Shui felt invigorated. It seemed that things were about to get a little more exciting in the Zhong clan.
”Actually, I am the patient.” The girl spoke up with a smile.
Doctor Shui was surprised by the response. He had expected her to be shy and quiet, overwhelmed and suppressed by Zhong Feng's aura.
”Then, I am glad. A beautiful patient is better than the ice block.” The doctor laughed sneaking a look at the young master.
Zhong Feng looked at him with a scathing eye, causing him to regret his audacious words.
”It seems that you are quite comfortable here. It might be time to lend your free services in the countryside.” Zhong Feng spoke casually.
Doctor Shui felt a cold shiver run through his body. If there was anything that this genius doctor hated, it was giving anything, especially his medical services, for free. Simply speaking, he was a true money grubber. It was too ironic that a profiteer like him had gone into the noble path of medicine.
The truth was quite simple. But most people would probably slap him if they found out that the lauded genius doctor had only chosen the career path because of job security. Basically, there would always be sick people. So, his future would always be secure; disease was going nowhere.
”I am just joking. You are naturally my favourite patient.” He flattered with an uncomfortable look on his face.
Zhong Feng did not pay attention to him. Instead, he looked at Hu Lei in telepathic inquiry. He wanted to know whether she was alright with this doctor. Though Doctor Shui was a profiteer, he was the only doctor that he trusted completely, especially in this hospital. However, if Hu Lei did not feel comfortable, he would have to think of someone else.
Hu Lei nodded at him sensing his concern. This doctor seemed quite reliable. Moreover, she did not sense any kind of unpleasantness from him.
”Would you like for me to stay?” He then asked out loud, even though he knew her response.
She shook her head and squeezed his hand lightly with her small fingers. He frowned a little, but he did not insist. With one cold and warning look at Doctor Shui, he left the office.
”I am Shui Mu. What's your name?” Doctor Shui asked in a friendly but professional tone.
Hu Lei sat down on the patient consultation chair and responded calmly.
”Is there any specific health issue bothering you?”
The question did not startle Hu Lei, but she did not feel that there was need to give a clear answer, even though there was something bothering her. It was best not to trigger a death flag by talking carelessly and drawing bad karma. If there was a medical problem, it would be discovered naturally.
