Chapter 53—Caring for Her Grandparents (2)
"Do you mean to say that my father will not be treated here, doctor? But he is already here. How can we move to another hospital? Uncle She Hao? he asked desperately.
For now, he could only hope that his father would have the proper care and didn't want to think about the price it would cost. His father's life is more important, after all.
He is well aware of his family's financial incapability to pay for his father's hospitalization; however, considering the situation they were in, he is worried that it might be more dangerous for his father to move to a different hospital at the moment.
Besides, he might be able to request his father's brother to lend them some money. All he needed is time.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, Like what I said. We can't treat your father unless you can prove that you are able to afford to pay for the treatment."
"As you know, Jia Medical Center is a private hospital. We can't' really do many things if you are not covered. Otherwise, you will need to pay for the full payment of our service." Dr. Jin stated.
He is getting tired of explaining to the man the main reason to move their patient. He could not fathom why they don't understand their situation more than others. They have no money, for goodness sake!
Also, he is wasting his precious time with them. He had many patients to take care of today. Patients who can afford to pay for his service!
In the side corner of the room, Vera is quietly cracking her knuckles; the sound is so subtle that no one notices her action. She had been holding herself through the conversation. However, every time the doctor denied them, her irritation got bigger.
It's just a matter of time before she loses her patience. With every word he utters, her temper keeps heating to its boiling point and is ready to erupt.
Sick to hear more words from the man, Vera rises from the seat and excuses herself out of the room. She understands the doctor's point of view, for she was a businessperson as well, and it is always essential for any private sector to earn through their service.
However, what she despises the most is how the man treated and looked down on them. A sudden headache made her more annoyed. Lately, she had been experiencing an unfortunate encounter with wealthy people's arrogant behavior. She wonders how many she will have to deal with in the future.
Not letting the situation get out of hand, she dialed Fang Wubin's number. Since she moved to the mansion, the doctor transferred back to Jia Medical Hospital, but instead of returning as a regular physician, he was promoted to department head.
Xu Long Wei was satisfied with the man and allowed him to manage Jia Garden's medical building at the same time. He still sleeps in the estate every day so he could be close to Vera when she needed him.
After a few rings, Fang Wubin answered the call, and Vera relayed their circumstances. After a while, she hung up the phone and texted Xu Long Wei.
When all was finished, she returned to the room where her uncle was still wasting his time to get the doctor's sympathy.
"Uncle, I don't think we should spend more time here." Vera said to stop him from lowering himself more to the man.
"We will manage to have Grandfather treated. Trust me." Vera stared at his uncle's eyes directly to convey her honest thought.
Uncle She Hao wanted to argue, but seeing her sincerity, he agreed that there is not much they can do to persuade the doctor. He can only trust her niece now. Anyway, he is left with no option.
The family left Dr. Jin behind, who is now relieved that the family is gone. Without knowing the chance he had missed.
