Chapter 66 - Monica Came Again

It was a young couple who came in. They were dressed in very simple clothes. In New York, other than some homeless people, it was rare to see people dressed like that. The woman was holding a child in her arms. The two of them ran to Gardner.

“Doctor, please save my child!”

Gardner looked at their clothes. He had made a preliminary judgment in his heart. Then he asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t cry. Tell me slowly.”

“Look at my child. He seems to be dying.”

The child in the woman’s arms looked to be about one to two months old. He was in a coma, and his entire body was covered in a thick yellow color. He looked like an Oscar statuette.

Gardner took a look and tentatively said, “Judging from his condition, this is jaundice in children, but he still needs to be checked. You two go downstairs and hand in two thousand dollars for a comprehensive check-up first.”

When the husband and wife heard this, they stood there in a daze.

When Gardner saw their reaction, he said, “This illness is grave, and he needs to be hospitalized for blood exchange treatment. The treatment is more troublesome, and the follow-up costs are relatively large. It may reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. You’d better pay more money, but the survival rate of this illness is relatively low, and there may be sequelae. You have to be mentally prepared. But no matter what, I will do my best as a doctor, and as parents, you have to do your best to treat this illness for the sake of your child!”

Gardner’s words startled them. The woman’s tears flowed down, and the man’s expression was a little conflicted. He subconsciously took two steps back. This child was an accident to him.

Gardner glanced at the man and said, “What are you still doing here? Hurry up and pay for the check-up!”

“We don’t have so much money. Let’s not treat this illness for now.” The man lowered his head and pulled the woman away.

“What are you talking about? This child needs to be examined and treated as soon as possible. Contact your family and borrow some money. This is a life we’re talking about. The child is still so young. Don’t be like some parents. Some parents just leave their ill children at the hospital and run away. That’s too irresponsible. You are fortunate to have discovered this disease as early as now. Otherwise, your child wouldn’t be able to recover, and it would be hopeless.”

“Thank you, doctor. We’ll go back and collect the money now. We’ll bring the child here for treatment tomorrow!” The man nodded at Gardner and then pulled the woman out of the department.

As soon as the couple left, Gardner sneered. He lit a cigarette, stood in front of the window, and opened the blinds with his fingers to look down.

Soon, the couple walked out of the building and appeared in Gardner’s field of vision.

Then, they began to argue. Not long after, the man placed the child in the flower bed. The woman could not bear to keep looking back, while the man pulled the woman and walked away without looking back.

Seeing this, Gardner revealed a sinister smile.

“These two idiots. They don’t know that treating jaundice doesn’t cost much. I didn’t expect to get a decent child so easily. I’m really a genius!”
