CHAPTER 157: CHAPTER 157 SHOWING OFF AND MAKING A FOOL OF ONESELF1 (EXTRA UPDATE)_1

With a CLICK, she hung up abruptly, not bothering to check if the person on the other side had heard her. After a round of furious cursing, she felt much better. Throwing her phone onto the couch, she resumed devouring her fruit yogurt. As she ate, she suddenly burst into laughter. It had been a while since she last enjoyed herself like this.

Unknown to her, the person on the other line was also laughing heartily.

This female con-artist had finally lost her cool.

It was his first time receiving such a phone call, and the first time he’d been berated so vehemently. Towards the end, it was pure roaring, like a lion’s roar, almost enough to deafen him.

It all happened so fast. He didn’t even get a chance to speak before she hung up. He never imagined this woman could be so bad-tempered, let alone use foul language!

This was the first time he’d heard her swear.

Hadn’t she always pretended to be so well-behaved and docile?

This female con-artist!

He found himself unable to stop laughing.

Doctor Xu, standing at the door, looked on in surprise. He couldn’t comprehend why Wan Donglin was laughing so uncontrollably, as if he’d encountered something utterly ridiculous. He clutched the report in his hand, hesitating. How could he deliver such a report when the man was in such a jovial mood?

However, Wan Donglin spoke first, "Doctor Xu, why are you standing at the door?"

Doctor Xu plucked up his courage and approached. "Mr. Third, you seem to be in a particularly good mood today. What’s the happy occasion?"

Wan Donglin continued to laugh, tears almost streaming down his face. "Nothing, nothing... I just saw something funny. Alright, is the medical report ready? Let me have a look."

Doctor Xu still hesitated. "Mr. Third, please don’t be anxious. Perhaps we should schedule a follow-up appointment in a while..."

"Let me see it now."

Doctor Xu had no choice but to hand over the report.

Wan Donglin finished reading it, then read it again. He looked up.

Doctor Xu grew anxious. "Mr. Third, please don’t be distressed. Really, this is just a preliminary diagnosis; it might not be accurate. A follow-up consultation after some time will be more conclusive..."

Wan Donglin’s gaze was inscrutable as he gave a faint smile. "Doctor Xu, aren’t you just trying to console me? How could something like this be inaccurate?"

Doctor Xu felt helpless. He knew that, ordinarily, such reports weren’t shown directly to patients. However, Mr. Third had come to the hospital alone and hadn’t notified any family members. He had also insisted on personally reviewing all reports. Besides, Mr. Third had already been generally aware of his examination results from the previous day.

Under normal circumstances, wouldn’t anyone learning of such an illness be devastated, on the verge of collapse? Why does Mr. Third look so unfazed, as if nothing is wrong?

Doctor Xu found this utterly perplexing.

Even if Mr. Third possessed exceptional mental fortitude, this reaction was completely illogical.

However, he knew Mr. Third’s temper: ask too many questions, and he’d get angry.

Nevertheless, having served the Wan family for many years, Doctor Xu felt he couldn’t shirk his duty. He pondered for a long time, wondering how to break this difficult news to Mr. Third’s mother and the Wan family.

"Mr. Third, perhaps we should consider transferring to another hospital? I know one in Switzerland that specializes in treating this kind of illness. I can contact them for you immediately..."

"There’s no need. It’s quite good here."

Doctor Xu could hardly believe his ears. ’Quite good’? What does he mean by ’quite good’?

"I’ll stay here. I’m familiar with the doctors and the environment here. I wouldn’t be used to it in a foreign country."

"Mr. Third, the facilities here really are much worse. I still strongly advise you to go to Switzerland..."

"Alright. Notify my mother and Zhou Ting."

Doctor Xu asked anxiously, "How... how should I tell them?"

"Just tell them the truth," Wan Donglin replied calmly.
