“So, should we bring the body to the morgue or the nearest forensic center?”
Mo Li turned to Xiao Rui. He wiped the sweat off his forehead. Then he arranged for Mo Li to go to the nearest hospital to wait. The body was sent to the mortuary’s lab.
Mo Li was surprised by the crowd at the hospital. He walked into a lab but no one was there. There were empty medical reports waiting to be filled in on the table.
A young nurse and a middle-aged woman walked past Mo Li. Mo Li heard the woman say, “My aunt’s sister’s brother’s cousin’s daughter has been married for a year already and her stomach is still empty. Her in-laws are bugging her daily, claiming that she is infertile. She came to me to ask if there is anything that she can do. Do you think…”
The other nurse sighed. “Mom, I do not work in the OBG department. Plus, I am not a doctor, I am just a young nurse. What can I do to help? If you ask me, the girl should go find her husband to help her.”
“Tsk, if that worked, I wouldn’t be asking you. I know this is too much to ask but you’ve helped me many times already. Can’t you help me one more time? You can ask your colleagues. I am sure they can help.”
Mo Li had heard that some families would demand free consultation from their family and friend who worked in the medical industry. Thankfully, Mo Li didn’t have that problem. In her original life, she had no family. Plus only the dead would come to her for help anyway. However, Mo Li was also confused by these people. Even though their friends and families might work at the hospital, it didn’t mean that they knew everyone at the hospital. These favors were not so easily acquired.
Mo Li and Qin Xuan waited awkwardly outside the lab. Suddenly a pair of mother and daughter walked past, pulling on each other.
Mo Li frowned when she saw this. Perhaps because Mo Li was wearing a doctor’s coat, the mother threw the medical records and exam report at Mo Li.
Mo Li was flustered and she started to scan through the documents. Since she was waiting anyway, she decided to help the pair for now. She focused on a few key points on the document and then turned to the girl. “Tell me honestly, do you have a boyfriend?”
It was the mother who answered Mo Li. She sounded angry. “What nonsense! Of course, my daughter doesn’t have a boyfriend! She is very obedient, she wouldn’t do such things!”
Hearing that, Mo Li frowned. She repeated herself, “Big sister, I was asking your daughter. Do you mind having her answer?”
The girl shook her head. Mo Li countered, “But your hormone levels are not normal. Normally, this means you either are pregnant or have a tumor. We should do a further examination. I think you know what I mean.”
This sounded like a normal diagnosis for Qin Xuan but in the mother’s ears, this was like an affront to her and her daughter. She shouted at Mo Li. “Doctor, what do you mean by that? How dare you insinuate such things about my daughter? Are you really a doctor?”
Qin Xuan was speechless. The woman sure knew how to twist one’s words. “Big sister, can you please calm down. No one is saying that your daughter is indecent. You should know your daughter best, and you should have noticed certain problems…” Qin Xuan tried his best to calm the mother down but the mother was already losing control. She was extremely anxious and sensitive. She was ready to tear down anyone who dared to say bad things about her daughter.
The mother growled, “I know exactly what you mean! I’m telling you, my daughter just has a normal stomachache. Just hurry up and prescribe us some painkillers!”
Something dawned on Mo Li. She glanced at the girl’s stomach. However, the girl wore a high-waisted black dress so Mo Li couldn’t see anything.
“Qin Xuan, we better go and focus on our job.” Mo Li said. Qin Xuan nodded and they walked back into the lab. Mo Li had had enough of this clownery.
The mother wanted to stop Mo Li but her daughter pull on her. “Mom, stop doing this! Don’t do this anymore.”
Mo Li and Qin Xuan escaped into the lab. Just as Mo Li closed the door, there was a shrill cry coming from outside the door.
Mo Li had no choice but to open the door again. She saw the mother dragging her daughter on the ground. The mother shouted, “You! Get into the consultation room and remove your clothes. Show the doctor that you are still a virgin!”
This statement shocked everyone present. This was such a big humiliation to the girl. Mo Li looked around and thankfully there were not that many people around.
However, before she could sigh in relief, the door of one of the consultation rooms opened. A man in a white coat walked out. He spotted Mo Li and narrowed his eyes on her.
The expression on the man’s face was very sharp. He stared at Mo Li with a serious and dangerous expression. His back was straight and his face was guarded. He looked like he was in his 30s but he was sharp and decisive. He walked out of his consultation room.
“Please don’t make such a fuss, this is the hospital.”
