Ch20 - Give Money

The cold wind blew. A car hurriedly cut through the darkness of the night and stopped in front of a villa.

“Dr Zhou, this way.” The housekeeper in a suit hurriedly ushered the man in the car through the gate. “Around midnight, Sir’s temperature became abnormal. In a short time, it rose to 39.3 degrees.” 

“How can it be so serious?” Dr Zhou walked upstairs while putting on medical gloves. “Did he not eat a lot during this period of time?”

The housekeeper looked a bit strange. “Sir has been going out a lot lately. He also asked people to clean up the house next door.”

Dr Zhou, who was hurrying upstairs, turned to look at the housekeeper. “You mean, Sir took the initiative to contact someone?”

“You know that Sir is usually very quiet, let alone talk about his life with us.” The housekeeper sighed. “However, Assistant Qin mentioned to me privately that Sir’s mental state is very bad this year…” 

The two men were silent at the same time. Over the years, their boss had become more silent and less active. Now he found it hard to sleep and eat. Nutrients were carefully prepared but his body still gradually weakened.

Dr Zhou went to the room door and gently knocked on it before opening it. The scene behind the door wasn’t the darkness he imagined. There were bright lights. Yan Ting was sitting on the bed in a thin sweater, a book in his hands. He had an unusual flush on his cheeks and turned to look when the doctor came in.

“Sir, how are you feeling now?” Dr Zhou put down the medicine box and took out the thermometer to take Yan Ting’s temperature. “39.5 degrees Celsius. You need to take some cooling medicine.”

“I need to go out before dawn.” Yan Ting put aside the book and held out his arm. “Give me an infusion.”

“Sir, an infusion is more harmful to your body..” Doctor Zhou wanted to persuade him but knew it was useless when he saw Yan Ting’s calm eyes. “Even if you receive an infusion, you should give priority to resting.”

Yan Ting didn’t speak. He looked down as Dr Zhou inserted the needle into his blood vessel. His blood couldn’t wait to rush into the infusion tube and seemed infinitely happy. The dirty blood that came out of his body was also bright red. Then cold liquid slipped and pushed the red blood back to where it was supposed to be.

“Sir.” Dr Zhou noticed that Yan Ting’s eyes were right and gave a reminder as he fixed the needle to the back of Yan Ting’s hand with adhesive tape. “Please don’t forget that you have an appointment with Dr Sun tomorrow.”

“There will be no time tomorrow.” Yan Ting took his eyes off the infusion tube. “Help me schedule it for the day after.” 

“Okay.” Dr Zhou was relived. He wasn’t afraid that Yan Ting would be one day later, he was afraid that Yan Ting wouldn’t go. Previously, he had exhausted himself persuading Yan Ting to go see Dr Sun. Today, it was so easy that he was surprised. “I will let Dr Sun arrange the schedule.”

Yan Ting stopped speaking. He raised his other wrist to look at the time. It was currently 1 a.m. and it was five hours before dawn.

Before dawn, Zhang Xiaoyuan and Da Ke came to help Li Zhao pack his bags.
