113 YOU SHOULD BE MORE ATTENTIVE (1/2)

Doctor Shui looked anxiously at the middle-aged woman as she looked at his tablet through her designer prescription glasses. He felt a mixture of excitement and fear. The excitement came from the possibility of cracking the mystery which had been bothering him for a while. The fear could be traced to a certain cold handsome face.

”I thought at first that the patient was at risk of schizophrenia. But now, I am not too sure.” He spoke shifting on the couch.

The woman did not respond. Instead, she gave him a single librarian's glance, causing him to be silent. She scrolled and skimmed through the information. She frowned as she took in the general data, scans and charts. Like Doctor Shui, she felt fascinated.

”Can you tell me more about the patient?” She asked.

”Even if I want to tell you more, I can't. I hardly know anything myself, except what I have discovered through these tests. And if I knew, I wouldn't put my life at risk by talking about the patient.” He responded with an apologetic look.

Doctor Huo looked at the young man for a while before nodding. She understood professional restrictions, especially when working for powerful people like the Zhong family. However, she could not suppress her curiosity. She had not seen such an interesting case.

”So what can you tell me?” Doctor Shui was about to start hopping up and down on his seat.

Doctor Huo sighed and placed the tablet on the table.

”You know mental disorders cannot be diagnosed simply by looking at cold data. Interaction with the patient is crucial.” She said.

”But you are the best psychiatrist in the country. You must have some ideas.” Doctor Shui looked at her pitifully.

”You are too old to be acting spoiled.” She paused.

”The patient is not at risk of schizophrenia from what I can see. Though her brain is functioning at an abnormal rate, it is unlikely that she will develop the disorder. Basically, her mind is not typical, but the brain waves are stable. There is a possibility that she experiences some unusual issues due to the anomalies, but the likelihood of escalation is low.” She continued.

Doctor Shui smiled in relief and stood up.

”She will be so glad to hear about this. Thank you so much, Aunt Huo.”

”Sit down. You are always so impatient. I have not finished talking.” She rebuked him.

Doctor Shui looked embarrassed and sat down. He had been overjoyed and forgotten himself. Even though he accepted that he was a moneygrubbing person, he was Zhong Feng's friend. He did not want Hu Lei to suffer, and he wanted his friend to be happy.

That is why he had gone behind their backs and consulted Doctor Huo. He had gotten to know this lady when he was a medical student. He had not been very reliable, but she seemed to have a soft spot for him. If anyone could help Hu Lei, it was her.

He still remembered how helpless he felt after speaking to Hu Lei. It was good that he was wrong.

”Is there something else?” He asked.

”There is another troubling discovery I made when looking at the EEG charts and MRI scans. Have you noticed the difference between the initial and the most recent data?” She asked.

He had.

”Yeah, but the difference did not seem so significant considering the circumstances.” He responded.
