Chapter 13

For a moment, David Brooks didn’t know what to say, because Brian Carter was always so unlucky!

After much difficulty, the two of them finally arrived at Haiyuan City People’s Hospital.

Upon entering, David Brooks felt a bit at a loss, because he had never really been sick since childhood, nor had he ever been to a big hospital. The worst he’d had was a cold a few years ago back in his hometown, for which he got two packs of pills from the village clinic—didn’t even get a shot, and was fine in no time. Now, stepping into this big hospital, with all sorts of departments everywhere, just looking at them made him dizzy, let alone figuring out which department Brian Carter should go to.

Looking at the bustling outpatient hall, David Brooks felt completely lost. “Little Brian, which department should we go to, and which doctor should we see?”

Brian Carter was stumped by the question. If you’re asking me, who am I supposed to ask? After thinking for a moment, he said, “If you want to see a doctor, I think you should see the doctor for the part that hurts—headache, see the head; foot pain, see the foot. Treat the symptoms, that’s the right way.”

David Brooks suddenly understood, patting him on the shoulder, “Right, why didn’t I think of that!”

Brian Carter broke out in a slight sweat and said honestly, “Brother, you’re good in every way, except your brain doesn’t work too well!”

David Brooks gave an embarrassed laugh, “Yeah, my brain sometimes just can’t keep up... Hey, hey, who’s the one whose brain isn’t working now? Who was it just now asking me all those dumb questions on the way here? And, Brian Carter, you’re not messing with me, are you? I treat you like a brother, you better not treat me like a fool!”

Brian Carter immediately straightened up and cupped his hands, “I wouldn’t dare! But honestly, there’s nothing wrong with me, I don’t need to see a doctor.”

Seeing him start this again, David Brooks felt another headache coming on. If this kept up, he’d end up getting sick even if he wasn’t. He quickly pushed down Brian Carter’s hand and looked up at the departments in front of him: Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Gynecology, Dermatology, Urology, Dentistry, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Proctology, Infertility... After looking for a while, he still didn’t know which department Brian Carter should go to, so he asked again, “Where does it hurt right now?”

Brian Carter answered truthfully, “Nowhere hurts right now!”

David Brooks thought for a moment, “Didn’t you say your head hurts?”

Brian Carter said, “It hurts when I’m thinking, but not when I’m not thinking!”

David Brooks said, “So does it hurt or not?”

Brian Carter said, “Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn’t!”

David Brooks: “...”

“Pfft!” A girl nearby overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but laugh.

The two of them turned around at once. When they saw the girl’s face clearly, one of them was stunned, and the other blushed.

The stunned one was Brian Carter, because he didn’t expect to run into that “white tiger girl” here.

The one blushing was David Brooks, because he didn’t expect to meet his dream girl here.

That’s right, the girl with the black-rimmed square glasses, delicate and beautiful with a scholarly air, looking very refined and ladylike, was Linda Bennett. When she was chasing Brian Carter in the bathroom, she had slipped and fallen. She thought it was nothing, but after returning to the dorm, her hip kept feeling uncomfortable, and the pain kept getting worse. In the end, she couldn’t stand it anymore and came to the hospital by herself.

Seeing his dream girl, David Brooks not only blushed and his heart raced, but he also couldn’t speak properly. Still, he bravely stepped forward, “Zheng, Linda Bennett... I-I didn’t expect to run into you here!”

Brian Carter asked curiously, “Brother, why are you suddenly stuttering?”

David Brooks turned and glared at him, muttering under his breath, “Shut up! You’re the one who stutters, your whole family stutters!”

Brian Carter, who had just been scolded, was even more confused. Why did this guy suddenly stop stuttering?

As one of the top ten experts in the academy, Linda Bennett naturally recognized David Brooks, and of course, she also recognized Brian Carter. Just like David Brooks, she shot him a fierce glare, her eyes burning with anger. If this weren’t a hospital and there weren’t so many people around, Miss Bennett might have started throwing punches right then and there.

After a while, she finally managed to control her anger and, maintaining her ladylike demeanor, said, “David Brooks, what are you doing here?”

David Brooks blushed even more and stammered, “I-I came with Little Brian to see the doctor. He-he fell and hurt his head.”

Brian Carter frowned at this and immediately corrected him, “Brother, didn’t I just tell you? My head wasn’t hurt from a fall, it was smashed by someone else. Uh, it’s just...”

“Ahem!” Linda Bennett coughed heavily, secretly shooting Brian Carter a fierce glare, and said in a muffled voice, “Brian Carter, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want!”

David Brooks watched from the side, feeling puzzled. “Uh, what’s going on? You two...”

Linda Bennett quickly clarified, “David Brooks, don’t get the wrong idea, there’s nothing between me and him. Uh... If it’s a trauma, I suggest you go to the emergency surgery department. I have something to do, I’ll be going now. Bye-bye!”

After hearing Linda Bennett’s suggestion,

David Brooks took Brian Carter to the emergency surgery department.
