Chapter 224: Mister Zhou
Lucas had come for an exchange study program.
His first stop was his senior brother's Red Leaf Psychiatric Hospital.
In the following period, he would visit hospitals in other cities, and even hospitals in other provinces.
Lucas said: "I'll stay here for another week! Why? Senior brother, are you not welcoming me?"
Bai Xiaoliang shook his head: "No, I was just asking. Then, I want to introduce you to a potential partner. After all, you're not young anymore either."
Hearing this, Lucas immediately shook his head in refusal: "No thanks, I'm not interested in dating. It would interfere with my work."
Bai Xiaoliang said: "I used to think that way too, but didn't I still end up getting a girlfriend?"
"And if you never get a girlfriend, won't your parents pressure you to marry?"
Lucas suddenly gave a strange smile: "It's fine, they don't pressure me."
Bai Xiaoliang stared at Lucas's face, seeing that strange smile, and suddenly thought of something. His expression darkened as he asked: "Lucas, you didn't... hypnotize your parents because you didn't want to find a partner, did you?"
Bai Xiaoliang had grounds for this suspicion.
He had previously discovered that Lucas would use his proud hypnosis skills to do things that served his own interests.
The most serious incident was:
A long time ago, a female doctor was deeply in love with Lucas, but Lucas had no interest in her and found her very annoying.
Therefore, he used hypnosis on that female doctor.
He hypnotized her to hide all memories related to him in her mind.
But hypnosis is something that can weaken in effect over time.
Therefore, that female doctor's fragmented memory pieces gradually began to recover.
She started showing affection to Lucas again.
Lucas later hypnotized that female doctor again, implanting something in her mind.
This caused the female doctor to feel deep fear from the bottom of her heart every time she saw Lucas's face.
And this fear became intertwined with those memory fragments of her admiration for Lucas.
This caused the female doctor's mental state to become disordered, increasingly unstable.
If Bai Xiaoliang and Lucas's teacher hadn't discovered it early,
that female doctor might have become mentally ill.
Because of this incident, that teacher had severely criticized Lucas at the time.
If not for Bai Xiaoliang and the other senior and junior brothers and sisters collectively persuading him,
Lucas might have been directly expelled from their teacher's lineage and had his medical license revoked, never allowed to practice medicine again.
After all, that teacher's status in the medical field was no joke.
Hearing Bai Xiaoliang's words, Lucas suddenly became serious: "How could I? Since that incident with the female doctor, I've stopped doing such things."
Bai Xiaoliang was still somewhat suspicious: "That's good then, Lucas. Remember, we are doctors. We must be responsible for ourselves, for our patients, and for others."
"Don't casually use hypnosis to serve your own interests."
"If, in the future, I discover you've gone down that path,"
"I won't need to inform our teacher."
"I will personally deal with you."
Bai Xiaoliang's usual gentle and warm demeanor disappeared, replaced by a look of decisiveness and severity.
"Mm, I remember."
Lucas's handsome white face broke into a pleasant smile.
But in his heart, dark clouds had long gathered.
Seeing that it was about time, the two went downstairs to the floor where Bai Xiaoliang usually conducted consultations.
Just as they stepped out of the elevator, they heard very noisy sounds coming from the waiting area of this floor.
It seemed like an argument had broken out.
The two immediately quickened their pace toward the patient waiting area.
There they saw a Chinese man in his thirties, wearing a suit and tie.
He was entangled with several doctors and nurses.
This Chinese man kept shouting: "Lucas! Where are you! I know you're here! Get out here!!!"
Hearing this, Bai Xiaoliang looked at Lucas with confusion: "Looking for you?"
Lucas nodded, then stepped forward.
As soon as he approached, he was immediately spotted by the Chinese man.
"Lucas, you finally came out!!!"
The Chinese man shouted aggressively.
Lucas stared at the Chinese man before him, his face showing a mix of confusion and admiration:
"Mr. Zhou, shouldn't you be in America? And you're really something, flying all this way to find me."
So this Chinese man in his thirties, wearing a suit and tie, had the surname Zhou.
Mr. Zhou pointed at Lucas and sneered: "Hahaha, don't worry. Until that matter is cleared up, wherever you go, I'll chase you there!"
Bai Xiaoliang immediately stepped forward a few steps and whispered in Lucas's ear:
"Who is this person? It seems he has some issue with you?"
Lucas said: "He's a family member of a patient I had in America. Senior brother, can I borrow one of your hospital's consultation rooms? I need to talk with him."
Bai Xiaoliang: "Okay, call me if you need anything."
Next, Lucas said to Mr. Zhou: "Mr. Zhou, let's discuss matters inside. Don't make such a scene here. After all, we're civilized people."
Mr. Zhou sneered: "Fine, I didn't want to make a scene anyway."
Then, Lucas entered the vacant Consultation Room 6 on that floor.
The doctors and nurses restraining Mr. Zhou, seeing Bai Xiaoliang's nod, released him.
Therefore, Mr. Zhou followed him inside.
After the two entered, the door was closed.
Inside Consultation Room 6.
Lucas sat in the doctor's seat in the consultation room.
On the desk in front of him was a sandalwood box made of sandalwood.
The sandalwood box was round in shape, with openwork carvings on the lid.
Allowing air circulation with the outside.
After sitting down, Lucas searched the metal cabinets within reach on both sides for something.
He finally found a coil of incense shaped like mosquito repellent incense.
Of course, this coil of incense was very small, thin, and green in color.
Holding this coil of incense, he said to Mr. Zhou: "It's a bit smelly in here. Do you mind if I light some incense to get rid of the odor?"
Mr. Zhou stood there and said coldly: "Do whatever you want."
Lucas smiled, took a lighter from his pocket to light the coil incense, then placed it in the sandalwood box and closed the lid.
After closing the lid, white smoke immediately rose from the sandalwood box.
It rose straight up to the ceiling, and upon hitting the ceiling, split into multiple streams and began to disperse throughout Consultation Room 6.
After doing all this, Lucas smiled at Mr. Zhou, his right hand fingers rhythmically tapping on the desk, making a tapping sound.
"Mr. Zhou, what did you want to see me about?"
Lucas asked.
Mr. Zhou's forehead veins bulged: "What are you pretending for? You know perfectly well why I'm here?"
Lucas put on an expression of sudden realization:
"If it's about that matter with your wife, I'm very sorry, but there's nothing I can do."
"After all, I've already cured your wife's mental illness. As for who she fell for after recovering, how can you blame me for that?"
