In the on-call room, Tian Zhen ordered seafood porridge, and he and Zhao Heng started their late-night snack together.

"Dr. Zhao, do you think this middle-aged couple is left only with familial affection?"

Tian Zhen suddenly asked Zhao Heng.

"This is just an exception, not a general rule."

Zhao Heng thought for a moment, took a sip of seafood porridge, and said.

Hmm, the shrimp is indeed fresh and sweet. To enjoy such a bowl of fresh and sweet seafood porridge on a tiring night is truly a pleasure!

"Indeed."

Tian Zhen nodded, realizing that individual exceptions cannot explain anything.

While Zhao Heng and Tian Zhen were drinking porridge, a plump middle-aged woman walked in.

"Dr. Zhao."

the plump middle-aged woman said.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Heng was a bit puzzled seeing the middle-aged woman come in. The patient had not yet woken up from post-surgery anesthesia; she should be by the bedside now.

"Dr. Zhao, I'm really sorry for tonight, I've caused you trouble."

The plump middle-aged woman said apologetically to Zhao Heng.

"Uh... It's okay, it's all in the past."

Zhao Heng was a bit stunned by the woman's attitude. After all, he wasn't the one who rolled away after causing a big scene.

However, the woman acknowledged that she had disrupted public order earlier. Having this awareness and attitude was quite commendable.

As for the big scene, well, any woman probably wouldn't put up with it.

"Doctor, I want to ask something."

the plump middle-aged woman asked again.

"Hmm, go ahead."

Zhao Heng perked up upon hearing this. Such a strong-willed woman wouldn't come in just to apologize for no reason; she definitely had a request.

"Doctor, can Mr. Wang's condition serve as a basis for an injury assessment?"

the plump middle-aged woman slowly asked.

"Huh? Injury assessment?"

Zhao Heng was somewhat taken aback by the woman's question.

"Mr. Wang already had high blood pressure and was on medication. The doctor had said it was an absolute contraindication for sildenafil. But that little hussy made him overmedicate, nearly killing him. Can't this serve as a basis for an injury assessment?"

the plump middle-aged woman stated methodically.

"The patient's onset and treatment process are all documented in the medical records, and all relevant test results are complete. If you need them, you can get a copy from the medical department after discharge, sealed for the same legal effect as the original. But whether or not this can serve as a basis for an injury assessment is a legal matter; if you're asking me, I really don't know."

Zhao Heng thought for a bit and said seriously.

He's very professional on medical issues, but it seemed like the woman intended to sue the young lady over this incident.

Indeed, Zhao Heng found it odd earlier when the middle-aged woman let the young woman leave so casually with her strong personality, it was unlikely she'd let it slide so easily.

"I see, thank you, Dr. Zhao."

After hearing Zhao Heng's words, the woman seemed thoughtful, thanked him, and then left.

After she left, Tian Zhen spoke to Zhao Heng: "Dr. Zhao, do you think she's going to sue that person just now? Can that even proceed successfully?"

"How should I say it? Legally, if during the patient's attack, that person didn't bring the patient here but left the scene directly, leading to the patient's death, it could be judged as negligent homicide. But now it's clear that the patient was brought in, and he's been saved. I'm not really sure how the law handles this."

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said.

There have been cases where clients died and the ladies were sentenced. It's not an isolated occurrence.

But regarding this patient, whether the law can rule on this situation, Zhao Heng really didn't know.

"Uh..."

Tian Zhen was also a bit stunned. This situation is really difficult to judge.

Speaking of the man, he almost lost his life, which was his own doing.

If he were fine, the middle-aged woman might vent her anger on him, but after the surgery, even if the post-op recovery is good, he's still left somewhat disabled.

In this case, the middle-aged woman's pent-up anger definitely needs an outlet.

"This is a den of ravens, none are absolutely innocent. Be careful with words around this woman. Aside from medical issues, don't say anything else."

Zhao Heng said indifferently.

He only cared about treating the patient and saving them from death; that was his biggest task and responsibility.

But other than that, it has nothing to do with him, and he didn't care at all.

"Hmm, got it."

Tian Zhen nodded.

Afterwards, Zhao Heng and Tian Zhen finished their seafood porridge and checked the time; it was already close to three a.m.

"Dr. Zhao, why don't you get some sleep? I'll call you if anything comes up."

Tian Zhen said to Zhao Heng.

"Never mind, I can't sleep at this hour anyway."

Zhao Heng shook his head slightly.

He had a feeling that the middle-aged woman would stir up some trouble.

Just then, a pair of police officers, one older and one younger, walked into the break room in uniform.

"Officers, is there something you need?"

Seeing the policemen come in, Zhao Heng immediately stood up and asked.

"Hmm, you're Dr. Zhao, right? I'm from Haiding Police Station, and I'd like to ask you about something."

The older officer looked at Zhao Heng's name badge and said.

"Is it about the patient, Wang Haijin?"

Zhao Heng continued.

"Yes, that's right."

The older officer nodded. It seemed this young doctor was quick on the uptake, which saved him quite a bit of trouble.

"What would you like to ask, officers?"

Zhao Heng asked.

"It's like this: We received a report from Wang Haijin's wife, claiming someone was trying to harm him. So we wanted to understand the situation when Wang Haijin arrived at the hospital."

The older officer explained slowly.

"Well, it was like this..."

Zhao Heng truthfully recounted the events that had transpired.

Upon hearing Zhao Heng's account, the older officer furrowed his brow, seemingly pondering something.

"Officer?"

The younger officer inquired as the older one remained silent.

"Thank you, Dr. Zhao, for your trouble."

The older officer snapped out of it and expressed his gratitude to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng's account matched closely with that of the complainant, who was Wang Haijin's wife.

The officers initially thought it was just another case of a wife's rage seeking an outlet, something they'd seen plenty of.

However, the fact that the wife's account matched the doctor's suggested that perhaps there was more to this case than initially seemed.

"Officer, could there be more to this story?"

Seeing the older officer's furrowed brow, Zhao Heng couldn't help but ask.

"Dr. Zhao, sorry, but we cannot disclose that."

The older officer replied matter-of-factly.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Zhao Heng nodded, expressing his understanding.

After inquiring about the situation, the pair of officers left, but Zhao Heng remained unsettled.

If there really was more to the patient's situation, it truly resonated with the saying, "The human heart is like a ghost!"
