Chapter 817: Chapter 837: Fully Armed for a Doctor’s Visit (Part 2)
Brandon Potter: ...
...
Mandalina’s Nawlang Hospital.
In such hot weather, Adrian Desmond was wearing long sleeves and pants, with a black baseball cap and oversized sunglasses, revealing only half of his face. Even acquaintances might not recognize him at first glance.
He stood across the street, hesitating whether to go in. Discussing such matters was always a bit difficult to bring up.
Adrian never thought he would get this kind of illness in his lifetime.
"Uncle, are you going to cross the street or not? You’ve been standing here for half an hour now."
At the newspaper stand, a dark-skinned little boy was sitting on a small stool, looking at Adrian with a curious expression.
"Sigh..." Adrian sighed and walked across, forcing himself to do so.
If he was really sick, he needed to treat it early; early treatment was the key to early recovery.
He definitely didn’t want to be unable to man up for the rest of his life.
Reproductive Urology Department,
The doctor’s hair was gray with age, and Adrian felt satisfied with him, thinking he must be experienced as an attending physician.
"Can you take off your hat and glasses?"
Adrian couldn’t possibly take them off; although this wasn’t Abyanabad, who knew if he might run into someone he knew? If people found out about his hidden problem, Adrian felt he’d have no reputation left.
"I have an injury on my face that’s quite terrifying; I’m afraid I’d scare you."
"Are you experiencing erectile dysfunction?" The doctor didn’t believe Adrian’s words and suddenly asked.
Adrian looked at the old doctor in shock, asking, "How did you know?"
"Men who have erectile dysfunction often behave like you, fearing to encounter acquaintances. One even came wearing a mask." The old doctor bluntly revealed the truth, making Adrian feel embarrassed.
"Name?"
"Sabrina Conner!"
"Age?"
"33 years old."
The old doctor looked at Adrian through thick lenses, "You’re not that old; you appear vigorous and energetic, not like someone with erectile dysfunction?"
"I wasn’t like this originally. I recently got shot in the heart, underwent surgery, and ended up like this..." Adrian leaned forward cautiously and asked,
"Doctor, does heart surgery affect that aspect?"
"Hard to say; some medications can lead to erectile dysfunction..."
"What medications?"
"For example, hormone medications: estradiol, diethylstilbestrol tablets, etc. Overconsumption can weaken libido, cause ejaculation dysfunction, and lower fertility."
Adrian decided to check when he returned, whether he took such medications during his surgery.
"Are you completely unable to achieve an erection, or is the hardness insufficient?"
"Completely can’t..." Adrian said, feeling defeated.
"..."
"Doctor, can I recover? My wife is too beautiful; if I can’t satisfy her, what if she has an affair?"
For an Abyanabad man, failing to satisfy his wife is as severe as having an affair.
His wife could even cite this as a reason to file for divorce, and the Court would agree.
With Abyanabad’s low population and fertility rate, the Government wouldn’t allow a "useless" man to occupy a woman of childbearing age.
"For this kind of situation, you must not be tense. Relax, the more nervous you are, the worse it gets. You must trust medicine, and with your physique, you don’t resemble a patient with erectile dysfunction.
I suspect you took the wrong medication."
"..."
"Go for a blood test! Check for trace elements in your body."
"Okay."
Adrian took the form from the doctor and obediently went for the blood test.
Abyanabad’s medical standard is much more advanced than here, but his condition is hard to discuss, so it’s best to get treated for such hidden illnesses in a relatively unfamiliar place.
"What, the results won’t be ready for a week?" Adrian didn’t expect a simple blood test to take this long, "In Abyanabad, blood test results come out on the same day; you guys are too slow."
"That’s just how our hospital works. If you’re in a hurry, you can return to Abyanabad for treatment."
Adrian Desmond: ...
Adrian left the hospital, wishing he could confront the doctor he saw just now. He did know a few influential friends in Mandanila, but he had no intention of letting them know about his "condition."
He must even keep Sienna Johnson completely in the dark.
Otherwise, he’d never be able to raise his head in front of Sienna Johnson for the rest of his life.
But how would he explain to Sienna Johnson that he needed to stay here for a week?
...
To stay hidden, Adrian opted for taxis as transportation.
Upon entering the Friendship Hotel’s lobby, he was about to take the elevator upstairs when Sienna Johnson called out,
"Adrian!"
Adrian turned around and saw the woman smiling at him by the window, wondering how she recognized him despite his disguise.
"Come here!" Sienna Johnson waved at him.
Adrian walked over and sat opposite her. Behind his sunglasses, he looked at her, "How did you recognize me?"
"Is it strange to recognize you?"
"But dressed like this, you can only see half my face."
Since Sienna Johnson could easily recognize him, what about others?
Adrian thought that having his condition treated in Mandanila would not reveal his secrets, but now it seemed even here wasn’t safe.
"I only looked at your back, not your face, to recognize you."
Adrian picked up Sienna Johnson’s half-finished juice, removed the straw, and gulped it down.
This crazy weather was too hot.
"Today’s temperature is 38 degrees Celsius. Aren’t you afraid of getting heatstroke dressed like this?"
"I grew up in an environment like this, I’m not afraid of the heat."
"Really?"
Adrian raised his eyes to look at Sienna Johnson, feeling like this woman knew something, considering that she wasn’t one to be easily deceived.
"Why are you out instead of resting in your room?"
"It’s boring being alone in the room."
