Chapter 278: A Blurry Photo
Translator: _Min_ |
Zhang Li remarked, “You don’t seem like you’re lying, so I’ll sell you the photo. But remember, you must never leak my idol’s picture.”
Zhao Xuan suppressed his excitement and firmly responded, “Don’t worry, I understand the mystique of the Legendary Doctor. I won’t share the photo.” Nodding, Zhang Li immediately displayed his phone’s QR code for Zhao Xuan to make the payment.
“Doctor, can you send it to me now?” Zhao Xuan asked eagerly, transferring the money.
“Okay,” Zhang Li agreed.
The next moment, Zhao Xuan received the photo. His fingers trembled with excitement as he waited for the image to load.
He had been searching for any news of the Legendary Doctor to no avail. His unexpected visit to the hospital had finally yielded this valuable information.
Even though the Legendary Doctor was wearing a mask in the photo, Zhao Xuan believed he could glean a lot of information just from her eyes, thanks to the advancements in technology.
“You’ll be amazed by the Legendary Doctor’s charisma once you see the photo,” Zhang Li said with a smile.
Impatient, Zhao Xuan asked, “Doctor, can I take a quick look on your phone first?”
Zhang Li shook his head. “If you look now, you’ll lose the excitement of seeing it on your own phone later.”
Zhao Xuan didn’t understand the difference, but he restrained himself.
Finally, the photo loaded.
Expectantly, he looked at it, only for his smile to freeze.
Zhang Li, brimming with excitement, eagerly inquired, “How is it? Is the Legendary Doctor as stunning, as dazzling, and as charismatic as they say?” The woman in the photo was wearing in surgical attire, her entire form tightly wrapped, with only her back visible – a blurry and unclear back at that.
Zhao Xuan zoomed in as much as possible, but could only make out a small portion of her fair neck, nothing more.
Zhao Xuan grabbed Zhang Li and asked loudly, “What can you even see in such a blurry photo?”
Before Zhang Li could reply, Zhao Xuan spoke again, “You can’t see anything, absolutely nothing. It’s as if this photo wasn’t even taken!”
Lifting his eyes to Zhao Xuan, Zhang Li said with fervor, “Do you have any idea how difficult it is to capture a photo of the Legendary Doctor? The mere fact that we managed to get this shot is already an incredible feat.”
Zhang Li paused for a few seconds before speaking again, “Moreover, to truly appreciate a photo of the Legendary Doctor, one must feel it with the heart. If you look closely and earnestly, you’ll surely be able to discern her features.” Zhao Xuan opened his mouth, intending to scold Zhang Li, but the words died on his lips.
With a sigh, Zhao Xuan, holding a sliver of hope, asked, “Is the Legendary Doctor still at the hospital? Can you take me to see her if she is?”
Shaking his head, Zhang Li replied, “She left after performing surgery on a little girl. We don’t know where she went.”
Zhao Xuan felt a pang of disappointment, but having been through similar experiences, he quickly accepted the reality.
His primary concern now was how to explain to President Song that he had spent a million only to obtain a blurry photo of the Legendary Doctor’s back.
After being thrown out of the hospital, Wen Ye lay at the entrance for a long while before he regained enough strength to slink off to a nearby park. Sitting on a bench, he called Gu Si.
As soon as the call connected, Wen Ye blurted out, “Gu Dai is planning to take Gu Yin away, and she’s discovered our divorce!”
Gu Si demanded sharply, “What happened?”
Wen Ye stuttered through the explanation.
Gu Si got out of bed, pacing with one hand cradling her arm, and spoke angrily, “I’ve warned you repeatedly to be careful in your actions and not to get caught. But you never took my words seriously.”
Wen Ye wanted to argue, but before the fierce Gu Si, he couldn’t utter a word.
Breathing heavily with anger, Gu Si scolded, “You’re useless, creating problems that I have to solve!”
After, Gu Si hung up the phone and threw it onto the table.
Wang Fang brought tea to Gu Si’s table, speaking softly, “Madam, please have some tea to calm down.”
Gu Si nodded, her gaze drifting to the seascape outside the window. After a long silence, she asked, “Fang, why would someone suddenly want to care for a child that isn’t their own?”
After a moment of contemplation, Wang Fang replied, “I think it might be because that person is fond of children..”
