Chapter 334: Learning about the Past
Zhou Weizhen hesitated briefly on the other end before speaking apologetically, "Ah, you found out, huh."
Su Lu let out a sigh, "You never told me."
"He didn’t want me to tell you. Mainly because, in truth, what I did was rather inappropriate. You’re my patient, after all, and I should’ve been looking out for your interests, but I ended up helping him. Oh, and I accepted his gifts too. How did he know I like durians? He sent me several, along with a durian voucher for a chain fruit store. How embarrassing..."
"Professor Zhou!" Su Lu couldn’t help but interrupt Zhou Weizhen. She squatted in the elevator, covering her eyes with one hand, "I didn’t know... I actually didn’t know anything."
"He didn’t want you to know. And considering your condition at the time, I don’t think you would have wanted to know either," Zhou Weizhen explained, "I was responsible for your physical well-being, but your emotional concerns are beyond my responsibility. The reason why I agreed to let him in was firstly, because I figured he wouldn’t affect the procedure or the outcome of the surgery."
"And secondly," Zhou Weizhen continued, "if something really went wrong with you and your child, I felt it would be a lifelong regret for him if he weren’t there. I’m a doctor, I save lives and aid the injured, and I have a kind heart. Kind-hearted people tend to be soft-hearted, so when he pleaded with me, I gave in. Of course, the fact that I love durians played a role too."
Zhou Weizhen said this last part half-jokingly.
Actually, when Bo Jingshen approached her back then, he had offered her money. Zhou Weizhen had refused his offer but agreed to let him into the operating room.
Bo Jingshen was so grateful that he insisted on leaving a check. Zhou Weizhen sighed and told him that wasn’t necessary; if he really felt bad about it, he could just bring her some durians.
And so, Bo Jingshen brought five durians in one go, and even gave her a durian voucher from the nearby fruit store.
Zhou Weizhen resisted the temptation of the check, but capitulated to the durians; indeed, she felt ashamed.
