"You too, so many classes every day, alright, I’m hanging up, got to get busy again."
Long Fengxi set the phone on the table, lying there limply, her eyes dim and lifeless.
She absent-mindedly looked up and saw a young male doctor in a white coat calling her name.
"Hello, your application for a private doctor has been approved by the hospital, and from now on I will be your private doctor, my name is Lu Youyuan."
Long Fengxi extended her hand and shook his, "Hello Doctor Lu, I’ll be in your care from now on." Content orıginally comes from novel✶fire.net
"No need for formalities, it’s what I should do." He was holding her new medical record and said, "This is a brand-new file, your diagnosis will be accurately recorded. Now you have two options, one is to live at home, the other is to stay in the hospital."
"What would you recommend, Doctor?"
"My suggestion is that you live at home. Staying in the hospital for a long time won’t help your mood, and how could being depressed all day help your condition improve? If you stay at home, when you’re not here for chemotherapy, you can go out and about, life goes on as usual."
"I don’t have a house in Country M, I came from Country S and went straight to the hospital, so I still need to find a place first. Do you live alone, Doctor Lu?"
"How many bedrooms are in your apartment?"
Long Fengxi proposed, "If there’s a spare room, could you rent it to me? Since you are my private doctor, living together would save the back and forth, and I can get your help timely when I’m not well. If you agree, I’ll pay you double the rent."
Lu Youyuan hesitated, "I have two spare bedrooms. I can rent one to you, but don’t you have any family?"
"I’m alone," Long Fengxi added, "If my condition worsens, I will move out immediately, so it won’t affect you. I will sign an agreement with you, don’t worry."
Lu Youyuan hmm’ed in response, "If that’s the case, then I’ll arrange your discharge procedures."
When he came back, Long Fengxi had changed into her clothes and was waiting for him with her suitcase.
"Let’s go then." Lu Youyuan took the suitcase from her hand, and while walking, asked, "Do your family members know about your illness?"
"They don’t know, I don’t want them to know."
He glanced at her, "It’s hard to keep such a thing secret, especially from your boyfriend or husband..."
"I’m single." She replied, "So as long as I don’t tell and the hospital helps keep it a secret, they won’t know. I’ve already signed a confidentiality agreement with your hospital, only the doctors in your hospital can see my medical records, others cannot. If any information is leaked from your hospital, you will have to compensate me five million."
Lu Youyuan looked at the frail woman in front of him with a soft voice, but her words carried weight.
"Don’t worry, protecting patient privacy is something our hospital has always done well, as long as you do not wish, it’s impossible for it to leak from our hospital."
"What is your occupation?"
"I used to work in an office." A single sentence could cover a lot, from corporate executives to cleaners, they all work in offices, but being able to afford a private doctor suggests a high income.
"Now that I’m your private doctor, I am only responsible for you, but living close is also good, I will remind you of what you can and cannot eat, living with a doctor, you’ll have to be ready to be instructed any time."
