Chapter 170 To Promote Dutiful Piety
At this moment, Old Man Gong, who was lying on the operating table, could no longer be seen. Thirty to forty percent of Old Man Gong’s skin had begun to rot, and pus flowed out of the wound. His skin and flesh trembled as he breathed.
What was even more gruesome was the wite maggots squirming around Old Man Gong’s wound.
Big Gong unknowingly walked up to the two doctors and began to explain, “Two days ago, maggots started appearing on my father’s body. I tried to clean his wound with disinfectant, but he started screaming in pain. My father immediately told me to stop.” Indeed, splashing disinfectant on such a rotten wound would hurt the patient.
Fatty Gong scratched his head and said, “I had no choice but to… Hey, if this lady doctor can’t stand to look at my father, she should probably stop.” Big Gong was amazed when he saw Fang Liu. He didn’t expect to see such a young and beautiful doctor in this hospital. Big Gong didn’t know if Fang Liu was married or not, so he immediately asked his lackeys to investigate.
In just a short while, his lackeys returned with some information. Big Gong found out that the beautiful Fang Liu was married to Mo Yu, the CEO of the Mo Corporation.
Big Gong was frightened when he heard this. Big Gong thought that it was fortunate that he resisted the urge to approach and flirt with the young and beautiful Fang Liu. Otherwise, Big Bong would have suffered a worse fate than his father, considering Mo Yu’s ruthlessness.
At that moment, Big Gong decided to put on a polite smile and hand Fang Liu a handkerchief. Fang Liu didn’t want to be rude and brush him off, so she took the handkerchief and asked, “Do you know what caused Old Man Gong’s condition?”
Big Gong shook his head and replied, “I have no idea what caused it. No other doctor wants to treat my father. In the beginning, there were a few, but they refused to treat him when they got a whiff of his odor.”
Fang Liu turned her head and looked at the older gentleman lying on the bed.
The rest of the older gentleman’s skin, which did not have ulcers, was not much better either. Dark purple cloud-like marks spread across Old Man Gong’s wrinkled skin, making him look terrifying
Fang Liu sighed and turned to Big Gong. “Your father must be in so much pain right now. I don’t want to offend you, but perhaps he isn’t willing to live anymore.”
There was no point in Old Man Gong continuing to live. He could only endure the excruciating pain and watch his body rot day by day as maggots eat away at his flesh.
Big Gong was stunned, and a dark flash appeared in his eyes when he heard Fang Liu’s words. After pausing, Big Gong pretended to be in disbelief and exclaimed, “I can’t let him suffer. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I refuse to give up on my father!”
Fang Liu remained silent when she heard this. Fang Liu turned to leave when she saw two reporters holding cameras not too far away. The reporters had already recorded the conversation between Big Gong and Fang Liu.
Fang Liu thought it would be inappropriate if her words were broadcast on live television. After all, very few doctors would advise their patients to give up. Fang Liu had been exposed on the internet before, and she was afraid that the netizens would misunderstand her.
Just as Fang Liu was in deep thought, the two reporters suddenly approached her. One of the reporters in her twenties smiled at Fang Liu and asked, “You’re Doctor Fang, right?”
Fang Liu was stunned and nodded. “Y-You know who I am?”
“I’m a reporter from the city’s television station, investigating current affairs. Didn’t you participate in our station’s rare disease program before? The film was submitted for approval just a few days ago, and if nothing goes wrong, it will be broadcast on live television very soon.”
“My colleagues and I watched the film in advance. Our higher-up said that the program was done exceptionally well and that we should study its contents attentively. That’s why I have such a deep impression of you, Doctor Fang. Thanks to you, the television station can broadcast such an educational program.”
Fang Liu was embarrassed by the girl’s praise. After saying a few humble words, Fang Liu asked, “Are you here to make a report on Big Gong this time?”
The girl nodded, “Yes, Mr. Gong is participating in the city’s kindest person of the year selection. He came to the television station and said that he wanted to collaborate with us to spread the importance of being dutiful so more younger people would support their parents and repay their kindness.”
Fang Liu thought that something was off when she heard the girl’s words. What the female reporter said wasn’t wrong, but it felt strange.
