Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 606 Some Questions Should Not Be Asked (Please Subscribe)



The security guard at Xiangtai Apartment saw that Lin Jie was acquainted with him, so he no longer argued with him and stepped aside.

But Zhang Yuan, who no one stopped, was either deliberately holding his elder status or something else, and he just suddenly stood there quietly, seemingly waiting for Lin Jie to take the initiative to greet him.

Seeing this, Lin Jie had no choice but to take a few more steps forward, though he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "It'd be best if he just died; that way, Xiaoxiao would worry less, and everyone would too."

As he got closer, Zhang Yuan's face became clearer under the reflection of the light.

Lin Jie was slightly taken aback.

Zhang Yuan's face was somewhat puffy, especially his eyelids, which were quite obviously swollen, and his complexion was an unhealthy sallow color.

His somewhat long hair was very messy, and his upper body T-shirt, due to the earlier scuffle, had its collar pulled so long that half his shoulder was exposed.

His bottom half was covered by a pair of bulky shorts that reached his knees, and he wore flip-flops on his feet.

Lin Jie could even catch a faint whiff of alcohol, and the closer he got, the stronger it became.

He couldn't help but shake his head.

In his past impressions, although Zhang Yuan's character was not great, he always presented himself neatly and smartly dressed, looking quite like a successful person.

Yet now, Zhang Yuan's image was even worse than that of a construction worker just coming off a shift.

Lin Jie, who was very sensitive to the smell of alcohol, couldn't help but cover his nose, stopping two meters away from Zhang Yuan, he said, "Uncle Zhang, if you have anything to say, you can say it to me."

Zhang Yuan glanced at Lin Jie with disdain and mocked, "You, who used to be half-dead, suddenly became successful and now look down on your old neighbors. You're quite something!"

"Since you say I can talk to you, then I'll talk to you!"

He scrutinized Lin Jie again, snorted, and said, "Isn't it that dead girl is already with you without any title? In that case, I, her cheap father-in-law, should indeed look for you."

Lin Jie's face darkened, and he said angrily, "I treat Xiaoxiao like my own sister, yet you, as her biological father, ruin her reputation like this. You're really not fit to be a father."

"If you have something to say, say it quickly; otherwise, just get out of my sight."

Lin Jie's sudden change of expression made Zhang Yuan furious.

He hadn't expected that the once feeble and timid young man would dare treat him this way and intended to step forward to teach Lin Jie a lesson.

However, a few security guards, who had been observing from the side all along, wouldn't allow it.

Not to mention that Lin Jie was one of the residents of this building, but now Lin Jie's status was remarkable, extraordinary. If they were present and Lin Jie got beaten, they could expect to all pack up and get kicked out together.

Earlier, they merely argued and pushed with Zhang Yuan, not daring to make a move, but now they had a reason to act; their demeanor changed immediately, rushing over like a hungry tiger descending the mountain.

Zhang Yuan was scared by them right away, hurriedly waving his hands, saying, "Don't do anything, don't do anything, I just want to say a few words to Lin Jie, really just a few words."

Under such circumstances, the security guards didn't make a move, but collectively turned to look at Lin Jie.

Lin Jie motioned them to step aside first, and coldly said, "Get on with whatever you have to say. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for not showing sympathy. Actually, I've long wanted to stand up for Xiaoxiao."

This Zhang Yuan lived in the small apartment in Huayuan One Village that Zhang Xiaoxiao owned.

Furthermore, in the entire community, anyone he could speak a few words with had lent him money at some point.

Lin Jie once lamented to Lin Miao privately that when a person gives up dignity and face, he becomes truly invincible in shamelessness.

Recently, Zhang Xiaoxiao paid off all the money he borrowed and notified all her neighbors solemnly that she wouldn't handle any more of Zhang Yuan's debts in the future.

To prevent Zhang Yuan from starving, Zhang Xiaoxiao even struck a deal with a small restaurant near the community.

Zhang Yuan could eat there as much as he wanted, as long as he didn't waste or take anything away, and she would settle the bill once a month.

Zhang Yuan, having seen Lin Jie's imposing presence, knew he had truly changed, spoke politely, "Lin Jie, let me be honest with you. I'm really close to dying."

"I know you've become a doctor now, a very skilled doctor."

"Look at my face..."

He pointed to his facial and eyelid swelling, saying, "It's all swollen, right? I went to the hospital, and the results showed my kidneys are failing. The doctor said I need dialysis, need a kidney transplant..."

Hearing him say this, Lin Jie once again closely inspected his face.

Upon seeing it, Lin Jie did indeed notice something unusual, immediately interrupted him, saying, "You don't need to say any more, I'll take you to the hospital right now..."

"Dad, what are you causing a scene about again?"

With this, Zhang Xiaoxiao walked over, accompanied by Lin Miao and Qin Gang.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoxiao come out, Zhang Yuan's expression changed at once, straightening his back, and he shouted angrily, "You unfilial daughter, you left me behind and paid no attention."

"I'm about to die now, are you happy? Are you satisfied?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao was angry, shouting in shame and indignation, "You're shouting louder than I am, is there any sign you're about to die? What exactly do you want this time?"

Zhang Yuan pulled a medical record from the pocket of his shorts and threw it to Zhang Xiaoxiao, shouting, "My kidneys are bad, I need a transplant. You are my daughter, you can't ignore this father."

"But, considering our father-daughter relationship, I give you two choices."

"One is to give me one of your kidneys, cover all my surgery expenses, follow-up costs, and support me until I die."

"The other option is to transfer that apartment to me."

"Afterwards, I will sever all father-daughter ties with you."

"I promise to never bother you again, and not only that, if I see you in the future, I'll go out of my way to avoid you."

"If you don't believe me, we can get it notarized in court."

"Ungrateful child, choose one of these two options now!"

Hearing this, Lin Jie's face turned terrifyingly dark.

Luo Pengyi broke up with Zhang Xiaoxiao and gave her a large breakup fee. Except for Zhang Xiaoxiao, Lin Jie, and Lin Miao, no one else knew about this.

The neighbors in Garden District Village only knew that Zhang Xiaoxiao's business failed, her boyfriend left, and on the surface, that apartment was Zhang Xiaoxiao's most important asset.

Now, listening to Zhang Yuan's tone, he couldn't wait for Zhang Xiaoxiao to sever the father-daughter relationship, wanting that apartment for himself.

Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't have time to respond to Zhang Yuan's words. She bent down to pick up the medical records, glanced through them twice, and then handed them to Lin Jie, "Ajie, take a look at these medical records. What exactly does it say?"

Lin Jie glanced through the medical records and then looked at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan felt a bit uneasy under the gaze and quietly took two steps back.

"Brother, is the condition really serious?" Miaomiao asked as she leaned in closer.

Lin Jie was silent for a moment before softly asking, "Xiaoxiao, you've said more than once that you envy me and Miaomiao."

"You said having a bastard of a father is worse than having nothing, that it would be easier and freer."

"Is that really what you think? Is it the truth?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao seemed to have a realization and asked softly, "Ajie, are you telling me to give up that apartment and make a clean break?"

Lin Jie didn't answer, but asked again, "Xiaoxiao, I'll ask one more time, do you still want this father?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao knitted her eyebrows into a large knot, glanced at Zhang Yuan standing to the side, and asked, "Ajie, tell me first, is his condition serious or not?"

Lin Jie shook the medical records in his hand dismissively and said, "According to the severity described in the records, even if the patient isn't completely swollen, he should have severe swelling in the lower limbs."

With these words, Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately understood.

Right now, Zhang Yuan was lively and active, with no signs of swelling in his lower limbs at all.

In an instant, she felt utterly heartbroken and stared blankly at Zhang Yuan!

After a while, Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed softly, and as she laughed, tears began to overflow from the corners of her eyes.

"Since you want that apartment so much, I'll let you have it then."

After saying this, Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't wait for Zhang Yuan to respond and turned to walk toward the apartment.

A worried Lin Miao also followed her back.

As Zhang Xiaoxiao left, Zhang Yuan got a bit anxious, took out a thick stack of papers from another pocket, and chased after her shouting, "Hey, don't go, sign the transfer agreement before you leave!"

Lin Jie stepped forward and blocked Zhang Yuan, angrily saying, "Get lost! We'll talk about this in a few days!"

"How could that be possible..."

An anxious Zhang Yuan was about to reach out to pull Lin Jie aside, but his wrist was firmly grasped by Qin Gang.

With his wrist clamped as if by an iron hoop and Lin Jie's angry expression, Zhang Yuan regained some clarity and said politely, "Fine! Fine! I'll go! You all heard clearly..."

Zhang Yuan shouted loudly, "My precious daughter chose to transfer the apartment to me, severing the father-daughter..."

Lin Jie roared again, "Get lost! Believe me, I'll beat you up right now!"

Zhang Yuan flinched, muttering quietly as he left...

Watching Zhang Yuan's figure gradually disappear, Lin Jie finally withdrew his gaze and exhaled a long breath as if venting...

The next morning, when Lin Jie got up, he found that, as usual, Zhang Xiaoxiao was still busy in the kitchen.

Lin Jie entered the kitchen and said, "Xiaoxiao, today I'll make breakfast. You shouldn't always be the one busy; today, you deserve to have something prepared for you."

Zhang Xiaoxiao added water to the soup pot and said softly, "Ajie, I know you're worried about me. Actually, I've thought it through. Having such a father is really not worth keeping."

"So now I'm at ease, more at ease than ever before. Really, I'm not lying to you!"

At this moment, Lin Miao, wearing pajamas, ran over with a phone, shouting, "Xiaoxiao, something happened to your dad. They couldn't reach you by phone, so they called mine."

"Something happened? What happened?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly took the phone from Lin Miao's hand and urgently shouted, "This is Zhang Xiaoxiao, what exactly happened?"

After listening for a moment, Zhang Xiaoxiao hung up the phone and urgently said, "Ajie, Miaomiao, the restaurant owner from this morning noticed he didn't show up for breakfast on time and checked in on him out of concern."

"When he knocked on the door, the restaurant owner found the door wasn't closed and went inside, only to find him collapsed headfirst on the dining table."

"He's now being taken to Limin Hospital by ambulance, life or death unknown..."

Lin Jie said in a serious tone, "Let's go, I'll drive you to Limin Hospital first..."

Although it was not even seven in the morning yet, the road was already getting jammed, with traffic moving at a snail's pace.

Anxiety-ridden Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a thought arise, "Ajie, last night..."

"What about last night?" Lin Jie responded!

"Last night..."

Zhang Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, and looking at Lin Jie's almost perfect profile, paused, then changed her words, "Nothing happened last night."

"Ajie, now that he's already been taken to Limin Hospital, there's no use in us being anxious. Be careful driving."

Lin Jie nodded.

Zhang Xiaoxiao turned her gaze outside the car, watching one electric scooter after another pass them.

In fact, what she wanted to ask just now was whether Lin Jie noticed any unusual physical conditions with him last night.

Just as she was about to speak, Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that this question was better left unasked. Given the situation, knowing the answer was no longer important.
