“I am not from any organization or agency, I just want to know the information personally,” I said while shaking my head.
“That is impossible! The dical records are a secret so I cannot help you with anything!” Zhou Zhiping shook his head.
“How about this?” I took out the 50,000 Yuan that I had prepared beforehand, putting it on the table.
“What is the aning of this?” Zhou Zhiping looked at the money and his complexion turned bad as he said, “Put these back imdiately, we don’t welco you here!”
“Director Zhou, if you think this is too little then there isn’t an issue, you just have to say the number! I will give you an empty cheque!” I smiled and pulled out a cheque-book from my pocket.
“Young man, you have found the wrong person for this!” Saying that Zhou Zhiping cald down a bit and said, “I, Zhou Zhiping, have a bottom line and morals that I always follow! If I am going to take patients, I am never going to sell them out! Don’t even think of bribing !”
“This...” I looked at Zhou Zhiping’s angry look and was at a loss of what to do. Could it be that I really misunderstood him? Was he really not that sort of person? But just now, the leader of the Finance Departnt had said...... Suddenly, it dawned upon and I understood the aning of the leader from the Finance Departnt. It turned out that he ant that Zhou Zhiping will never accept the bribe, it was I who had misunderstood it as a lack of money!
“Director Zhou, I am sorry to have misunderstood you!” I quickly took the money and the cheque-book back from the table and put them back, “Director Zhou, I could only turn to the best way I knew when in my situation. I just want you to tell about the patient to whom this receipt belongs to. I have gone up and down and found many people for help, giving out a lot of bribes, therefore, I naturally mistook you as the sa as them. But it seems that I was mistaken!”
Listening to my explanation, Zhou Zhiping could only shake his head helplessly, but soon, the expression on his face returned to normal! He also knew how the officials in the hospital were, there was no one that could put a leash on them!
As I saw that Director Zhou wasn’t trying to expel anymore, I decided in my heart to now convince him, “Director Zhou, I am also having a hard ti and don’t have any other choice. You see, I am the relative of this patient but she isn’t willing to tell the result of her dical inspection. I was very worried, so I ca here to see you. Telling the patients family their results shouldn’t be a violation of the rules, right?”
“So that’s how it was!” Listening to my words, Zhou Zhiping breathed out a sigh of relief, “You could have just said that from the start, why turn the matter into sothing this big? I thought that you wanted to kill soone!”
“Hehe, you don’t have to worry, I will never do sothing like that! Also, I can understand that asking for a dical record isn’t a big deal so long as there isn’t anything shady involved in the matter!” I smiled.
“Yes. I am a cardiologist, not a surgeon. There are only patients that have gunshots and involved in so cri that we need to keep fully confidential. As for other patients, there isn’t much that needs to be kept a secret!” Zhou Zhiping also said with a nod. {TL: This is ssed up.}
“Then, Director Zhou, can you help with this matter now?” I quickly asked.
“First, you should tell the na of the patient. Only when the I know who the patient is can I try sothing. Even then, if the patient has asked to keep the matter confidential, even if you are a relative, we can’t reveal anything to you!” Zhou Zhiping said.
The patient’s na? I don’t know if Yang i was getting herself treated or soone else, but I still said, “She is called Yang i and she’s almost the sa age as !” In fact, Yang i was older than .
“Yang i? Oh, it turned out to be her!” Zhou Zhiping looked at and said, “Young man, you wouldn’t be lying to , right? What is your relationship with Yang i? A middle-aged woman had also co here to learn of her situation. Since you are also her relative, then have you not heard anything from her?”
“Woman? Are you talking about Li Xiaohong?” I thought about it and the probability of it being Yang i’s mother was high.
“Li Xiaohong? Yes, that woman was surnad Li. I don’t know what her full na is but since you know her, why co to ? Young man, it isn’t good to be lying to others!” Zhou Zhiping looked at and said seriously.
“This...” Zhou Zhiping’s words made sowhat not know what to reply with. People like him could only be persuaded and not coerced, so I thought about it and decided to exaggerate my relationship with Yang i!
“Director Zhou, I didn’t want to say it but Yang i is my girlfriend. I had been on a trip for the last few days but when I returned, Yang i had disappeared completely. There was no one at her ho either. I went to her office and found this registration receipt when looking for clues!” I made myself appear to be depressed.
“Do you have any evidence to prove what you just said?” Zhou Zhiping wasn’t a stubborn old man. As he saw my appearance, he thought that I might have so truth in my words. After all, it was no use for any bad person to co here and ask for Yang i’s records!
“Oh, right! Here, I have a letter that she left for through soone else!” I took out Yang i’s letter and showed him. Actually, I didn’t bring it along on purpose, it was just with at the ti. Before my mood wasn’t very good, so I conveniently kept the letter on .
I deliberately placed the end of the letter in front of Zhou Zhiping.
Zhou Zhiping was a man in his sixties, so it was natural that he wasn’t very good at reading the love letters written by the younger generation. He just hurriedly saw the words Yang i at the end of the letter and believed what I said.
“Alright, I will believe your words! You can put the letter away!” Zhou Zhiping stood up and said to , “Follow downstairs, the records are kept downstairs!”
“I will have to trouble you then. Director Zhou, can you tell about Yang i’s condition first?” I followed Director Zhou out of the doctor’s duty room and got on the elevator.
“You really don’t know anything at all?” Director Zhou looked at and said in a soft voice.
“Director Zhou, I just guessed that my girlfriend might have gotten sick, I really don’t know anything else,” I shook my head.
“Then you have to be ntally prepared,” Zhou Zhiping said with a sigh.
“Director Zhou, you can rest assured that since I know she ca to the Cardiology Departnt, I had already prepared myself,” I nodded.
“The situation is like this, Yang i is suffering from a congenital (from birth) heart disease. With her sickness, a person can’t be stimulated or excited, they won’t be able to live like a normal person and their lifespan isn’t very long either. Theoretically, for the patients to live the longest, the patients are prohibited from exercising, getting angry, and even falling in love. Even certain small matters in love can affect the patient’s mood, causes the aggravation of the disease!” Director Zhou said, “What I am saying might not be very pleasant to hear. I don’t know what happened among the two of you, whether you quarrelled or sothing else, but Yang i’s condition had been getting very serious during this year.”
Congenital heart disease? Why had Yang i never told that! Can’t fall in love, can’t get excited? Could it be because of that Yang i’s condition got so serious?
Although I wasn’t willing to think like that, listening to Zhou Zhiping’s words I could tell that I certainly had sothing to do with her condition! Especially since it had nearly been a year that I have known Yang i!
“Did she know already that she had that heart disease?” I couldn’t feel good. If Li Xiaohong already knew about Yang i’s condition yet still wanted her to be with , then that was really a bad thing to do. Which mother would do sothing like that!
“No, she didn’t know about it beforehand. Actually, unless the sickness flares up too much, the patient can go on living as a normal person without any distinguishing signs!” Zhou Zhiping shook his head, “You also know that majority of the normal people don’t even get their heart’s condition checked even once in their entire life! There’s nothing too strange about it!”
