Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Liu Ergou peered in and saw a single-person, luxury hospital room. The room was fully furnished and even had a private bathroom.

Lying on the hospital bed was an old lady, with several maids standing by her side. Qian Xiaoling stood before her.

Liu Ergou raised an eyebrow. If I'm not mistaken, the old lady must have been the one scolding Qian Xiaoling just now.

At that moment, Qian Xiaoling looked terribly uncomfortable. She stared down at her toes, not daring to say another word.

Seeing Qian Xiaoling's silence, the old lady continued, "If you ask me, you doctors are each more useless than the last! When you run into trouble, all you know how to do is call your professors. Can't you function without them? What exactly did you learn in school? If that's the case, you might as well resign! Just get out of the hospital now!"

Berated by the old woman, Qian Xiaoling said with an aggrieved tone, "This isn't my fault. Your illness is just extremely rare! There are no effective treatments for it anywhere in the world. We can only manage the symptoms for now! And we don't even know how long that will be effective!"

The moment the old lady heard this, she exploded.

"What do you mean you can only manage it?! If someone is sick, you cure them! It's that simple! Don't you understand?! And now you're trying to tell me you're in the right for failing to cure me?!"

At this, the old lady shot a look at one of her maids. The maid immediately understood and pulled a phone from her pocket.

Seeing this, Qian Xiaoling knew exactly what the old lady was about to do. This old woman is no ordinary person. I've heard her son holds a high-ranking position in the city—someone I absolutely cannot afford to offend! She was supposed to have been treated at a city hospital, but she refused to make the trip, so she ended up at this town hospital instead. And now, she's undoubtedly about to call her son. If that happens, I'm going to lose my job for sure.

At the thought, Qian Xiaoling couldn't hold back her tears. They streamed down her face like rain, falling without end.

Liu Ergou, standing at the door, had seen everything unfold. He also knew exactly what illness the old lady had. Qian Xiaoling was right. The old lady's disease, whether in Chinese or Western medicine, was considered incurable. It could only be managed.

Liu Ergou, however, was an exception. He could, of course, cure this disease.

He was extremely displeased with the old lady's attitude. Qian Xiaoling had explained it clearly: the disease was incurable and could only be managed. Yet this old lady was being completely unreasonable and refused to let it go.

How much further does she plan on taking this bullying?

Thinking this, Liu Ergou let out a cold laugh and spoke to the old lady in the room. "I say, old lady, you're being far too unreasonable! I heard the nurse tell you that your disease can only be managed. A cure is impossible. It's a worldwide medical problem! Didn't you hear any of that?"

As soon as Liu Ergou began to speak, all eyes in the room focused on him.

Hearing Liu Ergou speak up for her didn't make Qian Xiaoling happy; she just kept crying. My job is definitely lost; it's a foregone conclusion. There's no other way out. Of course, there is one other possibility, but it's absolutely impossible—to cure the old lady completely. If she could be cured, the treatment would have started long ago instead of being delayed until now. At this realization, Qian Xiaoling's heart sank into despair.

The old lady on the bed froze for a moment, then glared at Liu Ergou and snapped, "And just who are you? Did you get my permission before speaking?!"

As she spoke, the old lady glared at Liu Ergou with angry disapproval and waved a hand at the bodyguards in black suits. The bodyguards immediately understood her intent. Instantly, one flanked each side of Liu Ergou, grabbing his arms to drag him away.

As the bodyguards seized his arms, Liu Ergou remained completely unfazed. He said calmly, "Tsk, old lady, a word of advice. You should think thrice before you act. I can tell you that I'm the only person in the world who can cure your disease! Furthermore, if your disease goes untreated, in just half a month, you'll be six feet under!"

Upon hearing this, the two bodyguards holding Liu Ergou grew even angrier and were about to use more force to throw him out. Before they could act, however, the old lady suddenly called out to them.

"You two, stop right there! Let this man go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the bodyguards released Liu Ergou.

The old lady looked at Liu Ergou standing before her and couldn't help but sigh silently to herself. In truth, she knew her own condition better than anyone. She was only alive today because her son had spent a fortune just to keep her going. A complete cure was out of the question.

As for why she was tormenting Qian Xiaoling, the reason was simple: the old lady was a petty and abrasive person. It would have been out of character for her not to make things difficult for others.

Even as she considered this, her gaze never left Liu Ergou, sizing him up from head to toe. After scrutinizing him, her suspicion only grew. Now, she seriously suspected that Liu Ergou had come to mock her, not to treat her. Liu Ergou didn't look like a doctor at all; he looked more like a bodybuilder.

It was no exaggeration to say he was built like an ox. How could someone like that possibly be a doctor?

While the old lady was lost in her doubts, Liu Ergou slowly walked over to her bedside. He studied her carefully for a moment before finally speaking.

"Tsk, I had no idea you were so gravely ill, old lady!"

"I couldn't see clearly from a distance, but now that I'm up close, I'd say it's a miracle you're still alive!"

"By all normal accounts, you should have died years ago!"
