Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Ask Someone for a Favor
The child before her was also very clueless.
After thinking for a good while, he finally shook his head.
Then, lifting his hand to cover his head, he spoke out.
"It hurts so much, my head hurts so bad!"
Seeing him like this, the middle-aged woman was very anxious.
"How could this happen? What exactly is going on?"
"Mom, I kind of can’t remember what happened last night, and my head hurts so much, it’s really, really painful."
How could she not worry when her child was in such a state?
She quickly turned her gaze to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng immediately stepped forward, wanting to see what was wrong with the child.
After checking for a while, he finally spoke.
"It seems that the shock from yesterday was too great, causing him to temporarily forget last night’s events. There might be some aftereffects, but he should be better in a couple of days."
After hearing this, the person in front of him indeed felt very helpless, never having imagined that her son could encounter such a thing.
For her, how could this not be considered a very painful situation?
At this moment, she sighed deeply and shook her head repeatedly.
"Oh dear, it’s such a misfortune, it’s truly too much of a misfortune!"
But soon, Liu Zheng prescribed medicine for her child.
"Let him rest at home for the next few days and don’t send him to school. Wait until he feels a bit better, then he can go back to class."
"Not only that, but you must also take the medicine I’ve prescribed on time, and you can’t miss any doses."
After hearing this, how could the person in front not know what to do?
She nodded without hesitation and agreed.
"Alright, alright, thank you so much, Doctor Liu."
"It’s no problem, no problem at all."
Before long, the middle-aged woman finally left with her child.
After they had gone, Liu Jiaxin immediately returned to Liu Zheng’s side.
"It seems that the scream we heard yesterday must have been from this child. It’s just that he can’t remember anything now, so it might be very difficult for us to ask him anything."
When she said this,
Liu Zheng next to her nodded gently.
He certainly hadn’t expected it to be like this.
But now that the incident had happened, there was nothing much he could do; the only option was to entrust Old Chen to inquire thoroughly and see what the matter was.
Before long, Liu Jiaxin also left, as she had her own matters to attend to and couldn’t stay there all the time.
Before leaving, she quickly said,
"I’ve given you Old Chen’s contact information. If there’s anything you need, just ask him directly."
Liu Zheng nodded at once.
He had initially planned to go to Old Chen next and ask him thoroughly.
But to his complete surprise, more patients arrived at that moment.
He couldn’t just ignore them, could he?
So he began to diligently examine them.
But as everyone’s condition was almost the same, it didn’t take much effort.
Everyone was in the same state.
But nobody knew how long this wave of influenza would last, nor could they tell how many problems it would bring them.
For each person, this was a very complicated situation.
They were extremely afraid of possibly infecting their families.
And indeed, their work and studies were being disrupted.
Everyone felt terrible inside.
But they could only endure it in silence.
Now, things had progressed to this extent.
Everyone was indeed a bit panicked.
They had never imagined that such an illness would suddenly emerge out of nowhere.
Especially with the recent events.
They were frightened.
Naturally, they were worried—what if something happened to them too? What would they do?
However, Liu Zheng had been settling them down well and prescribing medication carefully.
Though only a couple of days had passed.
Some patients with milder symptoms had already recovered.
But there was still a steady stream of new patients.
Waiting until he finally had a moment to himself, he immediately took out his phone.
Now it seemed impossible to proactively reach out to Old Chen, given the relentless influx of patients on his end.
So all he could do was try to send a message to ask.
"Old Chen, are you there? I need to ask you for a favor."
Surprisingly, the response came quickly.
"I’m here, just tell me what you need."
"It’s like this, I was wondering if you have any contacts inside the hospital. I need to ask them some questions."
"Preferably someone of a higher rank, the sort who knows a lot."
"No problem, I’ll see what I can do."
The reply came back swiftly.
Seeing Old Chen agree without hesitation, Liu Zheng felt much more at ease.
When it all began,
he was indeed filled with numerous worries.
Fearing that inevitably some unwanted situation might arise.
And as the number of patients kept increasing.
He also feared that the hospital might conceal the true nature of the situation.
But if Old Chen could find an insider for him to consult thoroughly, he would be able to understand the situation much better.
Indeed, there were a lot of patients that day.
Some were getting worse.
While others were showing signs of improvement.
Those who had recovered didn’t dare to wander off anymore.
Having barely made it through,
what would they do if they fell ill again?
They were acutely aware of the gravity of the situation.
So no matter what, they wouldn’t act impulsively at such a time.
Just as the afternoon approached,
Old Chen immediately arrived at Liu Zheng’s door with someone.
Liu Zheng had not anticipated that Old Chen could act so swiftly; he had only informed him of the matter that morning, and yet here he was, all prepared.
"Why did you come yourself? I was planning to look for you after my shift."
Liu Zheng was very pleased.
But he knew it was all because of Liu Jiaxin; otherwise, Old Chen wouldn’t have been so compliant with his request.
Old Chen simply gave a mild smile and spoke.
"It’s no trouble at all, really, it’s nothing."
After saying that, he glanced into the clinic and saw it crowded with patients.
He realized something was amiss.
"Why are there so many patients? Has something happened?"
Liu Zheng nodded solemnly.
