Chapter 909 - 914: Schizophrenia
Doctors are respected everywhere, which should be a universal rule.
In Iraq, in Baghdad, particularly in the Green Zone, doctors are revered even more. Here, no one knows when they might get shot, and once someone is hit, a doctor who can save a life becomes extremely important—especially a well-known surgeon, who is not just important but also precious.
So when a few people having their meal learned that a famous war zone doctor in the Green Zone needed a few tables for dining, most of them didn’t complain and chose to share tables, vacating three tables for Yang Yi and his companions.
"I really didn’t expect this, you have quite a status here."
In response to Yang Yi’s admiration, Woody humbly said, "It’s nothing. In a place like this, doctors always get some special treatment. Oh, everyone, this meal is on me."
Woody patted his chest, and then he told his companions, who were sitting at three separate tables, "This one’s on me."
Nowadays, no one lacks the money for a meal, but when someone offers to treat, it’s still proper to express gratitude.
However, only when the menu was brought did everyone realize why Woody seemed so proud when he said he would treat.
It was damn expensive. Kebabs that cost less than a US dollar outside the Green Zone were five dollars each here, and vegetables were more expensive, but a skewer of grilled tomatoes for twelve dollars was particularly shocking.
Regardless of the cost, of course, they would still eat. After all, Woody certainly wasn’t short on meal money now.
After ordering the food, several people who had just been through a long flight began to relax, but Yang Yi was constantly observing the only new face among the travelers in secret.
