97 MY FAVOURITE PATIEN (2/2)
”There is nothing special. I have had a couple of difficult years, so I just want to make sure that everything is alright.” Her voice had no unnatural inflection.
Doctor Shui could guess that there was more to the summarised story. If it was a random person, he would lecture them about being honest with the doctor. However, this was a person brought in by the mighty Zhong Feng. Moreover, it looked like he indulged her. Her unhappiness could mean charity work for him.
No, he would not allow that to happen.
”Which specific tests would you like done?” He asked.
”The basic tests will be fine.” She really did not have any preference.
Before he could respond, his phone vibrated. He checked the message and cursed lightly in his heart. It was Zhong Feng with a range of instructions and warnings. With a pained look on his face, he turned back to Hu Lei.
”It is better if we perform the full range of medical tests since you are already here.” He spoke, bowing to the one with power.
Hu Lei could guess what had transpired. But she still nodded. There was no harm in learning the truth about her true body's condition. Ignorance was not necessarily bliss. Plus, she did not like the constant look of worry in Zhong Feng's eyes. Her heart softened as she thought of him.
”I hope you understand that you will need to answer some difficult questions if we are to get to the bottom of any potential problem.” Doctor Shui warned sternly, committed to doing his job well.
She nodded once again.
”Let us begin with your eye colour. How did this happen?” He asked.
The unusual yellow irises had bothered him since she had come into the room. Though it was not impossible for a person to have yellowish hazel eyes, the hue of her eyes was not one found in humans.
Hu Lei felt surprised. She had thought that he would assume that she was wearing contact lens. The only reason she had not felt self-conscious about her strange eyes was because she knew that no one would assume that they were her real irises.
”A doctor changed my eye colour through various means. But I am not sure about the method.” This was the truth.
Doctor Shui became a little tense at the calm words. He knew that it was not his place to judge. However, as a person and a doctor, he was not a proponent of cosmetic procedures such as this, especially when they involved essential and functional body parts.
”Have you experienced any trouble since the change?” These types of processes almost always had adverse side effects.
”Apart from a little photophobia, there is nothing else unusual from my original eyes.” Her response was still calm.
The consultation continued with more questions. But Hu Lei could only give vague responses when faced with these queries. She could hardly explain anything about her body because she really did not know. More importantly, she did not want anything about her past to come to light.
