The Zeng family could hardly believe the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
“Impossible. The old master has a check-up every three months; the most recent was just over a month ago.”
A look of shock and anger crossed the face of the eldest Zeng daughter-in-law, “Moreover, every month we invite Dr. Jin to take the old master’s pulse. The old master has such a serious illness, it is impossible for both the hospital and Doctor Jin to fail to detect it. Who said that the old master has this serious illness?”
“Don’t talk too much, let’s hurry to the hospital. Xiao Zhou said he took the old master to the hospital for a check-up!” said Eldest Zeng.
The Zeng household’s glory now stands thanks to the old master.
As long as the old master is alive, like a stabilizing sea anchor, he shields the entire Zeng family.
Most of the time, the old master stays in the nursing home and only returns home for New Year’s or other major family events.
With professional caregivers looking after the old master’s health, the family members don’t have to worry much.
But now, who could have expected that the old master’s condition, like a bomb, would explode without warning.
The couple rushed to the hospital where the old master had already been taken by the doctors and nurses for examination in various departments.
“Xiao Zhou, how is the old master now?” Zeng Limin asked Xiao Zhou.
Xiao Zhou shook his head, “The old master has been sent for a check-up, but the results have not yet come out.”
Tian Xiuli quickly asked, “Xiao Zhou, who diagnosed that the old master had late-stage pancreatic cancer? Was it Dr. Jin?”
“No.” Xiao Zhou shook his head, “It was Doctor Xiao who was treating Old Master Yuan’s disease.”
“Doctor Xiao?” Tian Xiuli asked in confusion, “Which Doctor Xiao? Why have I never heard of him? Isn’t it Doctor Jin? Oh, yes, what did Doctor Jin say?”
Xiao Zhou said, “Doctor Xiao is treating Old Master Yuan. Old Master Yuan had early-stage brain cancer, and now he is recovering.”
“Isn’t Doctor Jin treating Old Master Yuan?” Elder Zeng asked with a puzzled wrinkle in his brow.
“Yes. It is said that Old Master Yuan was unwilling to go to the hospital, so Doctor Jin treated him.” Tian Xiuli asked in confusion, “How come they changed the doctor?”
Living in the nursing home, Xiao Zhou naturally knew more about the situation.
He said, “Doctor Jin can only provide conservative treatment for Old Master Yuan’s disease. But Dr. Xiao is able to cure it. During the treatment of Old Master Yuan, Doctor Jin acted as his assistant.”
“Is there a better doctor than Dr. Jin in the national medical field?” Tian Xiuli asked in confusion, “Even Doctor Jin is his assistant, how old is this person? Eighty to ninety years old? However,normally, a doctor of such age would be quite famous, right? But we have never heard of this Doctor Xiao, who is supposedly eighty or ninety years old?”
She believed that those who practice traditional Chinese medicine must be better when they are older.
Xiao Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth, with a slightly complicated expression, he said, “Madam, you are wrong. Doctor Xiao is not eighty or ninety years old, on the contrary, she is a child of more than ten years old.”
“What?” Tian Xiuli was shocked, “A child of over ten years old? Xiao Zhou, what kind of joke are you making here? A child of over ten years old, better than Doctor Jin? Who would believe that?”
Xiao Zhou said, “Madam, I am not joking. This is true. The person who is treating Old Master Yuan is indeed a child of over ten years old.”
“Is it possible that she is Doctor Jin’s disciple?” Zeng Limin frowned slightly and said, “To promote his apprentice’s reputation, does Doctor Jin falsely claim that he is the assistant?”
Xiao Zhou shook his head, “Young Master, I am not so sure about that!”
