Chapter 320: Chapter 317: Exchange Contact Information
After a series of checks, it was confirmed that the old man’s health was not in any great danger for the time being.
Nevertheless, Zhang Hao still took out his needle pack and gave the old man two injections.
Hearing the old man cough, Wu Zhirou’s heart clenched from outside the door.
She was worried about her grandfather’s condition.
"Director, is the doctor who came today reliable?"
Actually, the director was also unsure; she had met this doctor for the first time.
She didn’t know whether his medical skills were good or not.
"Grandfather’s heart and lungs have always been not so great; those are old issues from the past."
Wu Zhirou couldn’t stop worrying in her heart, but she was powerless to do anything.
Before long, Zhang Hao came out.
Wu Zhirou quickly approached to ask about her grandfather’s condition.
"Doctor Zhang, how is my grandfather’s health?"
Zhang Hao, with a calm expression, said, "After my examination, his condition seems to be manageable for now."
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhirou began to doubt Zhang Hao’s medical skills.
She wondered if this person was not reliable, as he might have failed to diagnose her grandfather’s heart and lung problems.
"The old gentleman’s heart and lungs aren’t very good, probably chronic issues from his younger days."
As it turned out, Wu Zhirou nodded repeatedly, the situation taking an unexpected turn.
"I’ll write up a prescription in a moment, and I’ll trouble the director to arrange for it to be boiled daily and consumed like water."
Instantly, Wu Zhirou became greatly interested in Zhang Hao.
"You practice traditional Chinese medicine, which is rare these days, especially someone as young as you."
"That’s alright; I’m going to write the prescription now."
Upon reaching the sun-sheltered gazebo in the courtyard, Zhang Hao wrote out the prescription he had already formulated in his mind.
Wu Zhirou watched from the side and suddenly realized that Doctor Zhang was quite handsome.
After the prescription was written, Zhang Hao handed it over to the director.
"I’ll go to the pharmacy tomorrow and buy everything according to your list, so Mr. Wu won’t have to cough so much every night."
Wu Zhirou moved closer to Zhang Hao, with a hint of the shyness that a girl should have.
"Doctor Zhang, could you leave me your contact information?"
"There’s no need for that; I just came by suddenly, and there should be other doctors taking care of your grandfather."
Rejected, Wu Zhirou was not upset.
"Previous doctors couldn’t even get close to my grandfather; you’re the first one."
Zhang Hao was surprised and felt that Wu Zhirou’s statement was somewhat exaggerated.
"Just now in the courtyard, I heard your grandfather saying he had fought in wars, so he must be an old soldier."
"Soldiers must obey orders, so I said I can’t defy them."
At first, Wu Zhirou thought Zhang Hao had some sort of magic that made her grandfather more obedient.
Now, hearing his explanation, she realized he had struck the right chord.
"Being a doctor, you really pay attention to details. Why not have you come and examine my grandfather from now on?"
That decision was one that Zhang Hao did not dare make lightly.
He really needed to ask for guidance from his superiors.
Apart from Wu Zhirou, even the director of the nursing home felt that Zhang Hao’s medical skills were indeed much better than the previous doctor’s.
In fact, she took the matter seriously enough to bring it up in a detailed discussion in her office and even asked for the phone number of Tong’an Hospital.
"Doctor Zhang, I will take the initiative and have a detailed talk with your hospital. If we can agree,"
"to have you come here once a week to check on the elderly, do you see any problem with that?"
If the hospital’s leaders agree to cooperate with the nursing home,
then they would certainly reserve that time specially.
"As long as it’s arranged by our leaders, that wouldn’t be a problem."
No sooner had Zhang Hao stepped out of the nursing home’s main gate than Wu Zhirou was chasing after him.
"Doctor Zhang, Doctor Zhang, please wait."
Upon hearing Wu Zhirou’s voice, Zhang Hao turned around.
"Miss Wu, why aren’t you in the room keeping Old Mr. Wu company?"
Wu Zhirou replied with a smile, "I have other things to do. I came today on behalf of my parents to check on Grandpa’s health."
"He’s doing better than we thought, and I have no reason to stay any longer."
"It’s hard to get a taxi here, could I trouble you, Doctor Zhang, for a ride? Just to the city center would be fine."
Zhang Hao felt that driving a beautiful woman was not a bad thing.
Once Wu Zhirou got in the car, she looked at Zhang Hao’s vehicle and whispered, "Is this car new?"
Zhang Hao nodded, "I just got it a few days ago, how did you know?"
Wu Zhirou said, "Because this model has only been on the market for a short while, even if you got it early, it couldn’t have been more than two or three months."
"I wanted to buy one too, but my parents thought the driver’s license I passed had some loopholes."
"They won’t allow me to drive, otherwise, I would have definitely bought one."
As they entered the city center, Wu Zhirou asked Zhang Hao to drop her off by the roadside.
She said she could take a taxi for the rest of the way.
However, Zhang Hao insisted on seeing her to her destination.
They had already come this far, and it didn’t make a difference to cover the last little bit.
After Wu Zhirou asked three times whether it was okay, and got a firm answer from Zhang Hao, she buckled her seatbelt again.
"You’re really kind, Doctor Zhang. If it were someone else, they would be too lazy to drop me off," she said.
"How come there are others?" Zhang Hao asked.
"Yes, previously when I visited Grandpa, sometimes I went with my friends," she said.
"They always left me by the roadside and didn’t care. It’s rare to find someone as caring as you, Doctor Zhang."
"You really won’t consider exchanging contact details with me?"
After having chatted all the way there, they had become quite acquainted.
Zhang Hao didn’t have that many reservations anymore.
The two exchanged WeChat contacts.
"From now on, you can call me Zhirou. My Grandpa’s health is all in your hands, I hope he can live to a hundred," she said.
When they reached the city center, Zhang Hao finally let Wu Zhirou out.
"Miss Wu, I’ll head back to the hospital now. You can contact me anytime you need anything," he said.
Upon returning to the hospital, Zhang Hao saw Li Lan sitting outside the department on a chair.
Her husband had passed away despite the rescue attempts. Logically, she should be at home making funeral arrangements at this time.
Why would she be here?
Out of curiosity, Zhang Hao approached to ask about her situation.
Li Lan said that her divorce had been finalized and she was now divorced.
Zhang Hao didn’t want to pry into her marital status, he was just wondering why she wasn’t at home making funeral arrangements and had shown up here instead.
Seeing Zhang Hao not reacting, Li Lan explained further.
"My ex-husband’s family has many relatives, and it’s not really my place to handle these matters."
"Moreover, I am now his ex-wife, and my presence there would be rather inconvenient," she said.
"Additionally, I wanted to ask Doctor Zhang for a check-up, to see if I am physically weak."
As Li Lan mentioned this, Zhang Hao suddenly remembered seeing her in the hospital corridor that day.
Her makeup was not elaborate then, and it was apparent that she indeed had poor vital energy.
Now that she brought up having a check-up, Zhang Hao couldn’t refuse.
"Alright, follow me in," he said.
Li Lan followed Zhang Hao into his office and sat down, placing her hands on the examination table immediately.
After a thorough process of inspection, Zhang Hao confirmed that Li Lan was indeed physically weak.
"Have you and your ex-husband been trying to have a child for a long time?" he asked.
"No, he wanted to, but I just couldn’t get pregnant. I had gone to the hospital before and undergone some treatments, but none were effective," she replied.
