The next morning, Brucille drove his wife and his father-in-law to the hospital.
Tyrion asked him, “Brucille, it was already late when you came back last night so I didn’t ask. How’s it going with your mother?”
“Oh, she passed away half a year ago, and lived in the old folks home for a few years before that. I donated some money to the old folks home to thank them for taking care of my mother during the last few years of her life.” Brucille answered.
When Tyrion heard the news, he couldn’t help but shed tears.
“Don’t be sad, Brucille. We are all your family. Your mother must have suffered quite a bit during those years. I wish I could apologize to your father for not being able to locate her all these years. When I finally received news about her, she had already passed away…” Tyrion said grievously.
Monique’s heart sank when she heard the news. Sitting in the passenger seat, she wiped her tears away quietly.
She still remembered that nice lady, who was very kind to her when she was a child.
Looking at the man next to her, she realized that all the people in the world that were blood-related to him were gone.
His father had passed away, and now his mother was gone as well. Monique suddenly realized that she was the person closest to him in this world.
She sighed deeply and turned her head to look at Brucille, but she didn’t see the pain she had expected to see on his face.
Perhaps he had already regulated his emotions in the past few days.
To Brucille’s surprise, she offered, “I’ll go visit her grave with you to pay my respects in a few days.”
“That’s a good idea!” Brucille replied.
He looked at Monique with a smile and asked her, “What’s the condition of the patient in the hospital? Is he dying?”
Monique was still in a gloomy mood a minute ago. After hearing him say this, she lectured, “Can’t you say something nice? It’s the sequela of a blood clot in his brain. Although he already got surgery done for it, his limb coordination is terrible and he can barely move. Didn’t you say that you can treat difficult and complicated diseases?”
Because his father-in-law was present, Brucille did not dare say anything. Once Tyrion left, Brucille took Monique’s hand and said, “Monique, the sequela of a blood clot in the brain is not a disease. The blood clot has been removed, and the sequela is what’s left. It’ll be very difficult to cure. Besides, I am very busy.”
“Well, this patient is under my care. If you don’t want to help, you may leave now. His family is already getting an expert to take a look at him anyways.” She said.
Brucille was really about to turn around and go home, but when he heard that an expert was coming, his interest was piqued.
“Well, alright, I’d like to join in the fun. Let’s go.” He agreed.
Monique just wanted to give her patient a chance to recover and to be discharged from the hospital. Henric was on shift the night before, and he only sent her a text message two minutes ago, saying that the patient’s family had invited a famous expert over.
She didn’t know about it in advance, or she wouldn’t have invited Brucille.
It was already too late to take it back. The couple showed up side by side at the inpatient department with Brucille’s arm around her slim waist. Surprisingly, Monique did not object, she just let his hand rest on her waist.
The clever nurse appeared in front of them again and said, “Hey, Dr. Ching, Brucille, the two of you make such a sweet couple. Brucille, are you here to send Dr. Ching to work?”
“No, I’m here because I’ve missed you. I’ve come specially to see you. Look at you, you’ve lost weight recently…” Brucille teased.
The nurse blushed immediately. It was bold of Brucille to flirt with her in front of his wife. She retorted, “Brucille, I think you’re going to have to kneel on the washboard tonight.”
Monique gave him a murderous look. Brucille pressed his hand on her waist a little harder before pulling her into his arms.
The nurse cried shyly, “Hey, you’ve gone too far! Showing off your love in front of me. Dr. Ching, you have to teach him a lesson!”
Monique twisted her body to break free from his arms and said seriously, “Wait for me in the office, I’m going to get changed.”
“Don’t mind me. I’ll just keep you company.” Brucille said.
The head nurse, who was standing behind Brucille, reminded him in a low voice, “I have great news for you. Rosa is in the changing room. You can go and have a look.”
The head nurse’s timely reminder made Brucille change his mind immediately. Rosa was the ‘prettiest woman’ in the surgical department. She was 1. 6 meters tall and weighed 180 kilograms. According to Brucille’s analysis, her bust, waist, and hip measurements were around 160, 160, and 160, which was a wonderful number.
But when all these numbers appeared on the same woman, Brucille couldn’t stand it at all.
He said to the head nurse gratefully, “Thank you for reminding me in time, Flora. Otherwise, I would’ve spent the rest of my life in regret.”
Flora just flashed him a bright smile and didn’t say anything as she left to attend to her business.
Brucille waited in front of the changing room lawfully. After a while, he saw Rosa. Her nurse’s uniform was specially customized for her. It looked like two nurse’s uniforms combined. Perhaps even three…
“Brucille, you’re here again. I heard that you gave Dr. Ching a nice sports car. How nice.” Rosa said.
Brucille said awkwardly, “Don’t worry, Miss Ma. I think your future boyfriend will give you a helicopter.”
There was a reason why Brucille said this. She would probably find it difficult to fit into an ordinary car, so a helicopter would be more realistic.
Rosa didn’t sense the sarcasm in Brucille’s words, and took it as a compliment. As she walked, the whole building shook a little.
Every step Rosa took attracted Brucille’s attention, while Monique stood behind him silently and asked softly, “I’ve heard that men like curvy women. Is she what they mean?”
“Well, whoever told you this, I’m pretty sure that there’s something wrong with their conception of beauty. You are the only beauty in the human realm.” Brucille said sweetly.
“If you dare flirt with these nurses ever again, I will ban you from entering the house.” Monique warned.
“My dear wife, you have to be clear. If I can’t enter the doors of our house, many other doors will open for me.” Brucille joked.
Monique was so angry that she rolled her eyes. She knew that she would not be able to beat him in bickering.
“That’s enough, come with me. The patient is on bed number 19. After taking a look, heal him if you can, shut up if you can’t. Also, because you are in the hospital, no one would be paying you extra consultation fees. Just think of this as voluntary help.” Monique informed.
Brucille stopped in his tracks and asked with a baffled face, “Ms. Ching, are you telling me that I came all the way here for nothing?”
“Well, if you succeed in curing him, I will give you a little reward.” Monique offered.
Brucille immediately asked with a cheeky smile, “What kind of reward?”
Monique wrecked her brain for an answer. After thinking hard about it, she finally answered reluctantly, “I will take the initiative to wash your socks once.”
At that instant, Brucille felt his blood pressure rise vigorously, to at least 195.
