Chapter 66: Loving a Wild Horse

Mr. Zheng asked them to stay for dinner. Zhou Ze rejected him, and so did Wang Ke. Zhou Ze did not expose him. He knew that his childhood friend needed an investor, so he let him be.

When he went back, Zhou Ze did not see the young butler. However, Zhou Ze knew that when he ‘accidentally’ let it slip, Mr. Zheng signaled his two sidekicks to say a few words before the butler disappeared.

It was still Wang Ke’s wife who was driving. She was a little distracted and would occasionally look at her phone.

On the other hand, Wang Ke was immersed in the fluctuations of the mental state of ‘surviving a calamity ‘. Miss Zheng’s condition was improving swiftly, so the pressure on him was relieved.

Zhou Ze did not tell Steward Wang Ke and himself that he had deliberately used eye drops in front of Mr. Zheng. That was just a casual action in his boredom, and he would not ask for any credit.

The key problem was that Zhou Ze didn’t know which side Wang Ke was leaning towards. Even though they were childhood friends, both of them had their own experiences after so many years, so they naturally had their own changes.

Wang Ke thought:

“I treat you like a brother, but you want to remove the green hat from my head!”

Damn it.

Impudent!

Unbearable!

What should I do then?

Looking at Wang Ke’s wife, who was also his sister-in-law, Zhou Ze curled his lips slightly.

Really…

His wife’s heart was like a knife.

His phone rang. Zhou Ze picked it up. It was his sister-in-law.

“Hello.”

“Hello, Xu Le, my sister is starting work,” her sister-in-law said.

“Oh,” Zhou Ze replied calmly.

“She hasn’t been feeling well recently, so you should go visit her. Don’t tire her out,” the sister-in-law added.

“Oh.”

“I say, why are you like this? I sent you a message, but not only did you not thank me, you didn’t even show any signs of agitation.

Oh oh oh your head!

Let me tell you, your Maserati matter has not been explained clearly! ”

Zhou Ze shook his head. His sister-in-law was really planning to help him. The reason was simple. She had been wandering outside recently, and the excuse she gave was to study in her own bookstore.

His sister was busy with work and had no time. Even though his brother-in-law was a good-for-nothing, this good-for-nothing was at least a university student who could help him with his homework.

It was a good reason and a good excuse.

Even the parents of the Lin family, who had always disliked Xu Le, silently agreed that their youngest daughter would go to the bookstore for tuition.

Sometimes, Zhou Ze really could not help but visit the Lin family and point at their parents’ noses, telling them not to mention a person who had graduated from university.

Even if you let the second and third-year students tutor the high school students, how many of them can do that?

However, her sister-in-law still had some conscience. Based on the recent events, other than being a little silly, this silly girl was still alright.

Look, he even sent a message to me.

“Alright, thank you,” Zhou Ze said half-heartedly.

“Hmph, right, I’m still going to your place to read tonight,” her sister-in-law added.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ze stretched his back. To his surprise, the car passed by the West Gate of the People’s Hospital.

What a coincidence.

He had no intention of going.

Of course, Zhou Ze didn’t ask Wang Ke’s wife to stop the car either. He acted as if he hadn’t seen it and didn’t want to make up this coincidence.

Doctor Lin had started work, which meant that Doctor Lin had gotten through a little. However, Zhou Ze had just obtained his identification documents and was preparing to go all out to become a full-time employee. He did not have the energy to think about anything else for now.

However, Wang Ke’s wife took the initiative to turn the car into the hospital.

“My father-in-law has been hospitalized recently. I came by to take a look, so I can leave soon,” Wang Ke said apologetically to Zhou Ze.

“Forget it, I’ll leave first.”

Zhou Ze pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Wang Ke got out of the car as well. Wang Ke’s wife drove the car into the hospital’s underground parking lot.

“Do you want to take a taxi back?” Wang Ke asked.

Zhou Ze nodded.

“That’s good. Take care, brother.” Wang Ke patted Zhou Ze’s shoulder. “I won’t take the initiative to look for you anymore, but if you need anything, you can look for me.”

“You’re welcome,” Zhou Ze said.

After he finished speaking, Wang Ke took another serious glance at Zhou Ze before he turned around and walked towards the Inpatient Department building.

Zhou Ze lit a cigarette silently. People did change.

Wang Ke was a few years older than him and had graduated and entered society earlier than him. His former Brother Wang and Brother Erdan seemed a little unfamiliar to Zhou Ze now.

He had no choice but to ask the Demon Gods.

Sigh.

Zhou Ze exhaled a puff of smoke. After some thought, he walked into the emergency building.

If he did not hear the news from his sister-in-law, he could choose not to come.

When the car passed by the hospital, they could pretend that they did not see it.

Now that he was in the hospital, it would be weird if he did not visit his wife.

In the past, there was an obsession, but she did not sleep with me.

Isn’t that obsession gone now?

That was not right. After losing that obsession, something weird happened.

A woman’s cold voice came from behind Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze took a deep breath and turned around. His fingernails felt like they were about to grow out.

“Sigh, Honey, the doctor said that I’m fine.”

“Get lost. I’m not willing to serve you. Are you still a man?”

The woman and the man had probably just come out of the men’s urology department and were arguing.

Zhou Ze looked a little bitter.

At this moment…

It was as if the diligent crow had appeared again, flying over his head.

Caw… Caw… Caw…

On the ground, another fallen leaf appeared. It was lifted by the wind and flipped over Zhou Ze’s feet.

Zhou Ze did not want to go to the emergency building again.

He felt like he should give Doctor Lin more time to think and get used to it, not provoke her at this time.

Yes.

He should think more for her and give her more time and space. He could not force her.

Zhou Ze nodded. He felt that he had convinced himself and prepared to leave.

However, at that moment, an ambulance drove into the hospital. Then, Zhou Ze saw a few doctors and nurses running out from the emergency building. Among them was a familiar figure.

Doctor Lin also saw Zhou Ze and was momentarily stunned. Zhou Ze smiled at her, walked over, and said gently,

“I was about to go up to see you.”

Doctor Lin suddenly covered her stomach and sat down on the stairs.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Zhou Ze asked.

Doctor Lin shook his head and said, “I’m fine.”

“What exactly happened to your body?” Zhou Ze asked carefully. He remembered that his sister-in-law had told him that Doctor Lin was not feeling well these few days.

“It’s about women,” Doctor Lin said with his head lowered.

The iceberg goddess also showed some embarrassment at this moment.

Her period came?

Zhou Ze was speechless. Perhaps to a silly girl like his sister-in-law, having her period was the most painful thing.

“Doctor Lin, the patient’s condition is quite serious. She’s pregnant.”

A young male doctor rushed over with a stretcher. He looked nervous. When he looked at Zhou Ze, his expression changed.

“You’re here too?”

The last time Zhou Ze went to the hospital for an emergency surgery, he confessed to Doctor Lin that this was the intern doctor who was out of his wits that day.

“Let’s go in first. I’ll take a look.”

Doctor Lin forced himself to stand up to check on the patient.

Zhou Ze could only follow.

After arriving at the Emergency Medicine building, the young girl who had accompanied the pregnant woman kept asking the intern doctor questions. The intern doctor could not take it anymore and started to panic.

“Do you know how to treat illnesses or not? Hurry up. Can’t you see that my sister is in so much pain? How is the child? My brother is already thirty. It’s not easy for him to have this child. Do you know how difficult it is?!”

“I… Wait… Let me take a look…” The intern doctor started to get nervous, and he dropped the notebook in his hand.

“What about you? Hey, don’t you have any other doctors here? You can’t treat human lives like grass!” The young woman continued to yell.

“I’ll go take a look.” Doctor Lin quickened his steps to get a better look, but after taking a few steps, he frowned from the pain.

“Your problem is a little serious,” Zhou Ze said. “Recently, your diet has been irregular, and your body has deteriorated.”

Doctor Lin did not say anything, but he still walked toward the patient.

“Forget it, I’ll go take a look.” Zhou Ze patted Doctor Lin’s waist.

“You…” Doctor Lin felt that this was inappropriate.

“You don’t trust my medical skills?” Zhou Ze smiled. “I brought you here.”

However, I didn’t expect you to become so beautiful. It’s my fault that I’m blind.

Zhou Ze took the initiative to walk over to the patient and prepared to examine him.

The young woman immediately shouted, “Who are you? Hey, what are you doing!”

Zhou Ze was not wearing a white coat.

“Doctor, come take a look.” The intern seemed to have met his savior.

Zhou Ze glanced at the young woman and said, “I’m getting off work. If you don’t want me to see you, I’ll go home.”

The young woman immediately smiled apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, I was wrong. Quickly take a look at my sister. It’s not time for her to give birth yet.”

Zhou Ze took the gloves from the intern doctor and checked them before asking,

“How long have you been pregnant?”

“28 weeks,” the young girl answered for her sister.

The intern doctor looked at Zhou Ze and helped him.

“The amniotic fluid broke early, and the uterus is fully opened. The amniotic fluid is severely contaminated,” Zhou Ze said as he removed the condom.

“This… this is… going…” The young girl was scared out of her wits.

“Premature delivery,” Zhou Ze said before turning to the intern doctor. “Inform the OB / GYN department to prepare for surgery.”

“Okay.” The intern immediately took out his phone to make a call.

Zhou Ze shook his head helplessly. This guy had good luck and was not assigned to intern under him. If not, based on his temper with Doctor Lin in the past, he would have directly scolded this guy for changing professions. He was really stupid.

“Premature?” The young girl was stunned when she heard that. Then, she grabbed Zhou Ze’s arm and said, “Doctor, please save my sister and the child in her stomach. It’s not easy for my brother to have this child. It’s really not easy.”

Zhou Ze was unmoved. As a doctor, he had seen this kind of thing many times. If he cried over it every time, the doctor would probably become a corpse.

“Then why don’t you go ask your brother what happened? It wasn’t easy for him to have a child, so how did things end up like this?”

“Doctor, what is going on?” The young woman was confused.

Zhou Ze looked at the woman on the bed and asked,

“When a man is raped, he is a beast. Why don’t you try to persuade him for your child?”

She was almost thirty weeks pregnant, and she could not even tolerate this?

The pregnant woman did not say anything. She seemed nervous and afraid.

But the young girl who accompanied her exploded and shouted,

“That’s impossible! My brother went to Beijing to work before the New Year for the baby formula. He hasn’t been back for the past six months!”

“Falling in love with a wild horse, but there is no grassland in my home…”

The intern doctor’s phone rang. He immediately picked up the call and said to Zhou Ze,

“The OB / GYN Department said the operating theater is ready.”
