Chapter 114: Chapter 113: Husband, You’ve Arrived
"Doctor, doctor, I’m feeling uncomfortable here," the woman said, pointing at her chest, "I heard that you can help with a massage, is that true?"
The woman was pointing at her chest, and by the looks of it, she didn’t seem like someone who had been through marriage and childbirth.
Zhang Hao gave Zhao Qing a look, signaling her to take the patient to the treatment room next door.
Zhao Qing cooperated and led the patient to the treatment room next door.
Lying on the examination bed and staring blankly at the ceiling, the patient asked, "Is Doctor Zhang’s medical skill really that amazing?"
As Zhao Qing prepared the medical instruments, she answered the patient’s question.
"Doctor Zhao’s medical skills are quite formidable, everyone treated by him so far has been very healthy."
The female patient nodded seriously, "Then do I need to take off my clothes for the massage? I’m a bit shy."
Zhao Qing kept a gentle smile on her face, "It’s also possible that I’ll help you with it."
Hearing that Zhao Qing would be the one massaging her, the woman’s face showed a hint of disappointment.
However, that feeling vanished in an instant.
The subsequent patients were all there for Zhang Hao’s massages, and suddenly the traditional medicine department turned into a massage parlor.
Even if Zhao Qing was not very skilled, she had to do it anyway, like a duck being pushed onto a perch.
And Zhang Hao, needless to say, after several busy hours, both of them were too tired to catch their breath.
"There’s no one left, right?" Zhao Qing propped herself up on the examination bed.
With his head hanging low, Zhang Hao said, "No more, it’s time for us to get off work."
The two hurriedly changed clothes, leaving before the next patient could arrive.
Though such behavior may be somewhat irresponsible, whether doctor or nurse,
they’re also human, not machines that can operate 24 hours a day.
Even machines need to be powered down for maintenance before they can continue to be used.
Nowadays, whenever Zhao Qing had close contact with Zhang Hao, her heart would become restless.
When she found out that the hospital leadership pleaded for Zhang Hao to return and quickly resolve the patients’ issues,
she volunteered herself to pick him up from the airport and bring him back.
After their shift ended, Zhao Qing knew that Zhang Hao, who had been busy all day, surely had no time to spend with her,
but she still wanted to ask where he was heading next.
"Should I take you home, or should we grab a bite to eat first?"
Zhang Hao buckled his seatbelt and said, "Let’s go home. But thank you for picking me up today, it saved me quite a bit in taxi fares."
With her chin slightly raised, Zhao Qing’s hands rested on the steering wheel as she softly spoke.
"So you’re just going to say ’thank you’ without any tangible reward? That won’t do."
Zhang Hao glanced at Zhao Qing, and both burst out laughing.
After dropping Zhang Hao at his place, Zhao Qing drove back home.
Since Zhang Hao personally sent his cousin to the police station, the incident was causing quite the stir.
The most important thing was that he hadn’t explained to his parents what exactly had happened.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw visitors at home.
"How could he do something like this, sending his own cousin to the police station!"
"What was he thinking? Anyway, I don’t care, he has to bail him out within three days."
Upon hearing what the visitor said, Zhang Hao immediately felt displeased.
He walked straight up to the person, "He brought those photos to my workplace, damaging my reputation, has he ever thought about me?"
"What I did was to help him stop the loss in time, to prevent an even bigger scandal."
Zhang Hao’s mother, worried about her son being too impulsive, quickly stood up and pulled him back to his room.
"You don’t need to get involved in this, let your parents handle it."
Zhang Hao didn’t want to put his parents in a difficult position,
but he couldn’t go against his mother’s wishes, so he eventually stayed in his room obediently.
It wasn’t until he heard the door close outside that Zhang Hao came out of the bedroom.
He had expected a scolding for being impulsive and not considering the consequences,
but instead, they didn’t say a word and just showed concern for how he had been doing the past few days,
worried that the incident would affect their son’s job.
When they got off work and came home to find Zhang Hao’s suitcase missing, they guessed he probably went out to have some fun.
Especially Zhang Hao’s father, being a man himself, understood his son’s decision all too well,
and also trusted his child not to act without thinking.
Now, seeing his son was indeed unharmed, he didn’t bother asking for the details of the incident.
During dinner, Zhang Hao watched as his mother took out a lunch box.
She packed some stewed beef and several other dishes into it.
"Later, you take these to Xiaohui. She’s all alone out there and won’t eat or drink well."
"I know you don’t want to reveal her location, causing disruptions to her peaceful life."
"But after all, this matter is between your cousin and your sister-in-law, and it’s not appropriate for us outsiders to intervene too much."
Listening to his mother’s advice, Zhang Hao knew it was for his own good.
After dinner, Zhang Hao drove to He Qianhui’s residence.
He arrived upstairs and discovered no one was home.
Thinking she might be working late at the office, he decided to make a phone call.
To his surprise, no one answered the call.
This made Zhang Hao somewhat anxious, a beauty like his sister-in-law, even married with children, would still have many men willing to adore her.
He immediately decided to check her company to see if she was still busy.
If she was working late, he would deliver the food as a late-night snack.
