“Is Chang Yue going back?” Zheng Ren asked.
“Su Yun, do you want to drink tonight? You still have to work in the afternoon.” Chang Yue rarely spoke to Su Yun with a tone of discussion.
Su Yun turned his head and thought for a moment before sighing. Seeing that everyone had lost their appet.i.te, he stood up to pay the bill.
Although this matter had nothing to do with him, he was definitely dispirited facing such a situation.
The four of them walked back in silence. Zheng Ren was reflecting on his recent rash progress in his work. Although the fundamental goal was to treat patients and save people, in the current medical environment of Imperial Capital, there was a fundamental difference compared to earthquake relief at the front line.
When they walked through the door, not only did the troublemakers not disperse, they were even tormenting them like a raging fire.
Zheng Ren looked at the crowd of onlookers and sighed. There was no one in the Pediatrics Department now. Many hospitals had closed their Pediatric Emergency Department. Did they have to close all the hospitals in order to do that?
At that moment, a woman hurriedly brushed past Zheng Ren and accidentally b.u.mped into him.
Zheng Ren was strong, so it was nothing. The woman staggered and almost fell.
“Are you okay?” Zheng Ren asked quickly.
“I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m sorry,” The woman apologized anxiously and ran forward.
She looked to be in her forties with white hair at the temples and crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes. She wore very ordinary clothes. Although there were no patches, it was obvious that she was wearing old clothes, even though they were very clean.
“Why are you in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to watch the show?” Su Yun nagged in a low voice.
At the entrance of the 912 Emergency Department, a woman in her thirties stood there with an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, as if they were waiting for someone. The woman held the boy’s hand and looked in the direction of the Pediatrics Emergency Department.
The woman who b.u.mped into Zheng Ren came in front of the two of them and kept bowing and apologizing.
“Huh?” Zheng Ren was a little surprised. He watched the woman grab the boy’s hand, spank his b.u.t.t twice, and drag him out of the hospital.
Zheng Ren felt that something was wrong, so he walked over.
“If you don’t study hard, you only know how to pretend to be sick every day!” The woman who b.u.mped into Zheng Ren said angrily. “Now you’re torturing the teacher again. What do you want? If you can’t do it, then you’ll quit school. If you don’t want to go, then you won’t go!”
“w.a.n.g Dong’s mother, don’t be like this. The child still needs to be educated.” The woman who started to take care of the child seemed to be a teacher, or perhaps a form teacher. She was taking the child to see the doctor.
“Sorry to trouble you, Teacher Zhu.” w.a.n.g Dong’s mother apologized repeatedly.
“Then I’ll be leaving first. I still have cla.s.ses in the afternoon.” Teacher Zhu jogged away.
w.a.n.g Dong’s mother pinched w.a.n.g Dong’s ear fiercely. The little boy winced and almost cried.
“Cry! You still have the face to cry!” w.a.n.g Dong’s mother pretended to scold him fiercely, but the tears in her eyes flickered.
She pulled w.a.n.g Dong’s hand hard, pulling him away
Zheng Ren looked over and roughly understood what had happened. He immediately walked over.
“Boss, where are you going?” Su Yun asked in surprise.
“I’m going to take a look.”
“She’s lecturing a child. Why are you meddling in her business?” Su Yun did not understand.
“There’s something wrong with that child. He’s not pretending to be sick.”
“…” Su Yun was stunned.
“Look at the red hemangiokeratoma on his ear,” Zheng Ren said as he walked.
“When did your eyesight become so good? Besides, isn’t hemangiokeratoma very normal? Hmm? Could it be hemangiokeratoma syndrome?” Su Yun asked.
“No.” As he spoke, Zheng Ren had already walked in front of the woman and said politely, “Excuse me, do you want to take the child back?”
“Ah?” w.a.n.g Dong’s mother was stunned. Seeing that it was Zheng Ren, she was a little afraid and asked softly, “Did I hurt you? Do you want me to take you to see a doctor? I don’t have money…”
Zheng Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“No, I’m fine. What’s wrong with your child?” Zheng Ren asked.
“He doesn’t want to go to school every day. He keeps saying that his entire body hurts and he keeps insisting on coming to the hospital. I’ve taken him to other hospitals for a look and took radiographic films. They all said that he’s fine. I also took the radiographic films to have someone take a look and said that he’s fine.” w.a.n.g Dong’s mother said. As she spoke, sorrow rose from her heart and she touched her eyes.
The little boy named w.a.n.g Dong raised his head and looked at his mother. Suddenly, he frowned and covered his leg. “It hurts here. It really hurts.”
“Did you take a look at him at the 912?” Zheng Ren asked.
“Teacher Zhu brought him here. There are many patients here, so Teacher Zhu called me. Pretend to be ill. When we get home, I’ll make you pretend to be ill!” w.a.n.g Dong’s mother had an angry but heart-aching expression, which made people feel a little bitter.
“Little Brother, What’s your name?” Zheng Ren looked at the little boy and bent down to ask.
“w.a.n.g Dong.”
w.a.n.g Dong’s mother had a vigilant look on her face. She pulled the child behind her, held w.a.n.g Dong with both hands, and slowly moved him away.
It seemed that Zheng Ren was a bad person.
“I’m a doctor from 912…” Zheng Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry as he explained. “I saw that there was something wrong with his ears, so I wanted to ask.”
“Huh?” w.a.n.g Dong’s mother saw that Su Yun, Xie Yiren, and Chang Yue had come over. They did not look like bad people, so she was slightly relieved.
“Ears? What’s wrong with his ears?” She took a look, but did not notice the small keratoma on his ears.
The keratoma was very small, protruding only a few millimeters from the surface of his body. It was red, and if one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see it at all. Even if one looked carefully, they would not think that there was something wrong with it.
Zheng Ren tried his best to squeeze out a smile. Not far away, there was a commotion at the hospital. His smile looked so forced.
“w.a.n.g Dong, when do you feel pain?” Zheng Ren tried his best to ask gently to avoid provoking w.a.n.g Dong and his mother.
If they really called the police and said that he was trying to abduct and sell children, it would become a joke.
“Uncle, my arms and legs often hurt, especially after running. I just had PE cla.s.s, and the pain was unbearable,” w.a.n.g Dong said timidly. “I’m not pretending to be sick. I really am not pretending to be sick. I want to have PE cla.s.s…”
“Have you been in pain since you were young?” Zheng Ren asked again.
“It was fine when I was young, but it’s getting more and more painful. Now I don’t even dare to exercise, but I envy them for being able to play football.” w.a.n.g Dong finally found a person who did not say that he was pretending to be sick, and he tried his best to vent his grievances.
“Can I take a look at the child?” Zheng Ren looked at w.a.n.g Dong’s mother and tried his best to smile gently. However, he immediately thought that it was better to let Su Yun do this kind of thing. The bruise on his face had not completely healed, so his smile probably made him look more like a bad person.
“Are you a doctor from 912?” w.a.n.g Dong’s mother asked, looking at Zheng Ren vigilantly, then looked at the crowd of people who were causing trouble at the Pediatric Emergency Department.
“Boss, if you want to talk about your habit of causing trouble for no reason, this is really beneath my notice.” Su Yun stood behind w.a.n.g Dong and looked at him carefully. He did not see any problems, and it was obvious that w.a.n.g Dong’s mother did not trust Zheng Ren, and so rebuked him.
“Fabry Disease is very rare. If you don’t believe me, I suggest that you go in and find a doctor from 912 to have a look, and then do a check-up to find out.” Zheng Ren was not angry. He continued to explain, “The earlier the diagnosis, the earlier the treatment. It’s no big deal.”
