Chapter 61: Chapter 2: Parents and Younger Brother

"I know, I’ll get her a CT scan and see..."

"Remember, a CT scan, not an ultrasound."

Standard ultrasound wasn’t so easy to use to determine the benign or malignant nature of liver tumors, so Dai Lin insisted that Mrs. Li have a CT scan.

"Are you sure the patient is sick? I know you, Dai Lin, and when you say this, you must be confident."

"Senior Brother, I can’t tell you the specifics, just arrange it, please."

"Alright, but do you really have to resign? Who resigns right after being promoted to associate chief physician? And the patients from your last operation haven’t even been discharged yet!"

"I can’t come back anymore," Dai Lin walked to the elevator, pressed the button, and said, "I’m now a surgeon at another private hospital."

"How much did they offer you to poach you over?"

"I can’t tell you that."

He certainly couldn’t say it was because of the Spiritual Therapy Points.

"It seems they really did offer a lot. Just up and leaving like that, isn’t that a bit irresponsible? What about the handover of your department’s work?"

"I’m sorry... I will come to the hospital to complete the handover later."

"Fine..."

Listened to his Senior Brother’s slightly disappointed voice, Dai Lin also felt some regret.

But there was no other way; he could only do this now.

When the elevator reached the fifth floor, a person walked in. This person was looking at his phone and didn’t seem to notice that the elevator was going up, pressing the button for the first floor.

He appeared to be a young man in his twenties.

Dai Lin slightly widened his left eye, and then he found that, if he wished, he could do a brief x-ray scan of a person.

Skin, muscles, bones, organs—all could be revealed in an instant.

If he was close enough, he could even see minute changes inside the body.

If a fatal disease had developed within this person, a mere glance would reveal it, even without his actively trying to see.

To be fair, if he continued as a doctor, these eyes would allow him to make diagnoses with great ease.

At the same time... determining whether a patient was possessed by spirits or afflicted by curses would probably also be much easier than before.

Dai Lin was now somewhat looking forward to starting work at Hospital 444 tomorrow.

"Ding—"

The elevator arrived at the tenth floor.

Dai Lin stepped out and came to the front door of his home, where he rang the doorbell.

The door was quickly opened by his brother Dai Wei, who just started his senior year of high school.

"Bro! You’re here!"

"Hmm," Dai Lin looked at his parents who were busy in the room and said, "Dad, Mom, I’m here!"

His mother quickly came over, asking, "Why did you buy so much stuff if you’re coming to your own home?"

"Because I just switched to a new work environment, and I might have to do a lot of shifts, which means I’ll hardly be able to come home for meals except on weekends, and I might also have shifts on weekends."

As an intern, he had to be on call 24/7.

Moreover, whether he could still be alive in half a year was also a big question.

"Dai Wei, why don’t you act sensibly and help your brother carry some things."

"Oh, okay, okay... Brother!"

After taking the large and small bags from Dai Lin, he turned to his father.

"Dad, I’m back."

At that moment, his father was copying calligraphy at a table. After retiring, calligraphy had become one of Dai Lin’s father’s major hobbies, and every time he started writing, he would be completely absorbed, not even lifting his head to glance at Dai Lin.

"You’ve become quite capable, changing jobs without even telling us." Dai Lin’s father lifted his head slightly, then dipped his brush in the ink and continued his strokes.

Dai Lin approached his father with a gift box, saying, "Dad, it’s just a change of the workplace, I’m still a doctor."

"Hmm, which hospital?"

"It’s called... Si, Si Kang Hospital."

The name was fabricated on the spot, but it didn’t matter; under the influence of the hospital director, no one would verify it anyway. Even if Dai Lin said he was going to Johns Hopkins Hospital, they would believe it.

"A private hospital, right?" Dai Wei picked up his phone, subconsciously wanting to check, but somehow, just as he lifted his phone, he dismissed the idea.

"Yes, a private hospital." Dai Lin nodded, "I’m still a surgeon, there is no difference from before."

Then, his mother said, "Let it be, changing jobs is changing jobs. Come sit down. Let me see, how do you seem a bit thinner?"

"It’s nothing, Mom..."

Dai Lin glanced with his left eye at his father and mother, directly viewing their bones and organs through the muscles.

Thankfully, his parents were healthy.

However, it seemed that this only allowed him to detect diseases that led to morphological changes in the body, such as tumors. He wouldn’t be able to see something like diabetes or hepatitis.

"I’m fine, where have I gotten thinner." Dai Lin laughed and said, "Mom, you, on the other hand, seem just like before, getting healthier and more vigorous."

Dai Lin had already decided that as soon as he got the Spiritual Therapy Points, he would extend his parents’ life spans, allowing them to live healthily to a ripe old age.

"You’re back, just in time. Wait a second."

Taking up her phone, his mother said to Dai Lin, "Let me show you, your Aunt Shen, she’s so eager to help, playing matchmaker and pairing up quite a few couples. Look, this is who she’s introduced on my behalf."

Before Dai Lin could react, his mother brought the phone up in front of him.

"Look, aren’t these girls nice? Look at this one, an overseas-returnee with a master’s degree, and this one, a graduate student, this one works for a German company, and this one, she works for a government agency..."

Dai Lin quickly interjected, "Mom, I’ve said, I’m really busy with work now, I truly don’t have the mindset to date."

"What are you talking about? Back when you were studying for your master’s, taking exams for deputy chief physician, you were busy, which was fine, but now you’re not planning on getting married yet? Do you intend to wait until you’re over thirty? I asked you before if there were any female colleagues in your department, and you said there weren’t any female doctors in your surgical department... Ah, last time I was on the phone, didn’t I hear a female doctor’s voice, is she a colleague from your new workplace?"

"Yes, right, a new colleague..."

"I felt from her voice that she must be a quiet girl. It’s okay if you find a doctor to marry, I hear that nowadays doctors often marry each other, that way you can understand each other’s busy schedules."

All this was utterly confusing, Dai Lin couldn’t help but be amused and frustrated. How had his mother even thought to set him up with Gao Heyann?

"Mom, she and I don’t have that kind of relationship; we are just colleagues in the department now."

Dai Wei quickly grabbed Dai Lin’s hand, saying, "Brother, that... how about this, can you help me with homework?"

"That’s good, go help your brother," their mother hastily said, "Your brother just started his senior year, he’s been struggling to keep up with his studies lately."

After Dai Lin and Dai Wei entered the room, Dai Wei chuckled and said, "Brother, you should thank me, right? Otherwise, Mom would keep pestering you to introduce someone to you."

Yet Dai Lin replied, "Mom said you can’t keep up with your studies? How have your recent exams been? Let me help you."

"No way, brother, you can’t repay kindness with ingratitude, can you?"

"Senior year is very important! Come on, show me the exam papers?"
