Healing Doctor

Chapter 753 I've saved up my luck for half my life to meet you

"Brother Zhao, I used to think you were a really nice guy."

"I am indeed a nice guy." Zhao Zhe said, smoking a cigarette, looking a little more relaxed than before. "But my ex-wife and her family are all such bastards. When it came to getting a kidney transplant for our child, neither of them would go, and they insisted that our child go instead."

"Xiao Ji, tell me, what the hell is going on? I've seen messed up things, but I've never seen anything this messed up."

"That's really unfair," Ji Xiang nodded.

Zhao Zhe had just been very emotional and explained his conflict with his ex-wife in detail, so Ji Xiang roughly understood what had happened in the past.

Zhao Zhe's first half of life was indeed not very pleasant.

"Right? At a time like this, if I hesitate even slightly, there will definitely be more trouble ahead. And besides, do you think I'd believe you if you said you'd support my son for the rest of his life?"

Ji Xiang smiled slightly.

Even if what they're saying now is true, there's no guarantee they'll think the same way in the future. Humans, let's not talk about whether they're fickle or not; their current mindset only represents the present and absolutely not the future.

"A kidney can certainly keep a person alive, but that's the most basic state of being. I don't want my son to just exist in the future. As for my brother-in-law's child, he has his parents."

"Brother Zhao, I've never asked you about your past before, but now it seems that your decision not to remarry after your divorce makes sense," Ji Xiang said with a smile, looking at Zhao Zhe.

"When I first started working, I was a fresh-faced young man, incredibly handsome. I even signed up for the New Silk Road Fashion Show. But I didn't make it onto the runway because my height wasn't suitable."

Ji Xiang gave Zhao Zhe a thumbs up.

An elderly attending physician, his face full of wrinkles, turned out to be quite a character in his youth.

"But who doesn't get old?"

"That's true," Ji Xiang said. "After you move there, sell this house, change your contact information, and cut all ties with your ex-wife's family."

"Yeah, that's what I think too. I didn't think much of it before, but what happened today was terrifying. Luckily, they didn't just take my son away. I guess they're just scared and afraid something might happen in the future."

Seeing Zhao Zhe's still-shaken expression, Ji Xiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zhao, why don't you find a nurse you like in the department and marry her? That way you'll have a home."

"One of the three things you shouldn't marry is a nurse. It's not that nurses are bad people, but the job itself is bad. Night shifts, they're incredibly busy, their endocrine system is disrupted, and if that happens when they go through menopause..."

Zhao Zhe chuckled and shook his head.

"So, are you happy living alone now?"

My surname is Zhao.

When Zhao Zhe suddenly brought up this old joke, Ji Xiang was slightly taken aback.

"Okay, Brother Zhao, do you agree?"

This time, Zhao Zhe was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"I give up, I give up," Zhao Zhe said. "I gave up a long time ago, but this world really doesn't give good people a way out."

"It's alright, there's always a way. By the way, rent a place when you get there; I'll arrange it. As for where you'll live, ask someone in the department and choose a good school district. If you encounter any other minor issues, I'll contact Director Bai."

Zhao Zhe took a deep breath and exhaled after a long while.

He looked up at Ji Xiang.

"Xiao Ji, my first half of life was really unlucky. I used to be resentful, thinking that murderers and arsonists would live high positions while those who built bridges and repaired roads would be left with nothing. Now I see that I was just accumulating luck until I met you."

"Rest for a while, I won't take you to the hotel. Stay home and watch over things. If anything happens, call the police first, then call me. Don't act impulsively."

"I understand. We can't take action, we can't let things change. After all, if things get complicated, the child's biological mother might want to kick him in the back, which would be a real problem. Judging these kinds of things right now is a real pain in the ass," Zhao Zhe replied solemnly.

"Okay, I'll be going now. Please, please don't act impulsively if anything happens."

Ji Xiang repeatedly gave instructions.

Zhao Zhe laughed, "Xiao Ji, your old-fashioned attitude is nothing like that of a young person."

"Hehe." Ji Xiang laughed, "There's a lawyer in the capital's legal circle whose strength lies in making the opposing party furious in court. He has this face that makes him look like he deserves a beating. One time, the opposing party couldn't hold back and slapped him. On the way to the hospital for a medical examination, he knocked out seven of his teeth."

"!!!" Zhao Zhe was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap!"

He knocked out seven of his own teeth.

This is no ordinary ruthlessness.

"Seven teeth are considered serious injuries. After the medical examination, the other party was completely stunned. Unexpected changes occurred, and it seems that the other party lost the case in the end. They had to pay nearly one million in damages for assault and were also imprisoned for three years."

"Really?"

"I don't know, just think of it as me telling a story," Ji Xiang said with a smile. "Brother Zhao, you're the senior doctor, you know more about this than I do."

"Yeah, yeah, I've seen it a lot. Basically, one bottle of furosemide is enough to solve it. I definitely won't lay a hand on them. I'd rather be beaten than lay a hand on them. It's a society governed by law, right?"

When the topic turned to a society governed by the rule of law, Zhao Zhe couldn't help but laugh.

"It's definitely a society governed by the rule of law. If you get beaten up, and you're really ruthless, you can knock out seven of your teeth too. I'll find you a lawyer."

Zhao Zhe shivered.

A person who can knock out seven of their own teeth is truly ruthless; Zhao Zhe knows he can't do that.

"Then I'm leaving. Stay calm. Pack your things first thing tomorrow morning, get rid of anything you don't need, and buy new ones when you get there."

Seeing Zhao Zhe's pained expression, Ji Xiang smiled and said, "Now that you're not the chief attending physician anymore, I don't want our medical team's income, and neither does Dr. Lin's. It's all yours. By the way, Brother Zhao, haven't you been earning more than Director Liu lately?"

"No way..." Zhao Zhe said somewhat embarrassedly, "I offered you money monthly a while ago, but you refused. I haven't dared to spend a single penny of it; I've saved it all."

"You've spent it all. You work day and night, can't you even afford to eat some grass?" Ji Xiang said in a condescending tone.

Looking at Ji Xiang's youthful face, Zhao Zhe felt somewhat confused.

He couldn't help but feel that Ji Xiang's young body contained the soul of a retired old director.

I encountered this during my internship...

Emmm, okay, I believe you.

"Get some rest. Remember what I said. You really don't need to bring too much stuff. If you need anything, you can buy it in the provincial capital later."

After Ji Xiang finished speaking, he turned and left.

Zhao Zhe finally relaxed after seeing Ji Xiang off, his back covered in cold sweat.

This is something you can't think about too much. The more you think about it, the faster Zhao Zhe's heart races, and he feels anxious and short of breath, as if he's having a heart attack.

Well, thankfully I got back early.

……

"Isn't this ridiculous?! A kidney transplant doesn't affect a person's future life; they're considered healthy! This is utterly inhumane!!"

Zhao Zhe's brother-in-law was holding a phone, and a cursing voice could be heard coming from the other end.
