Chapter 58 Dr. Watson Is Definitely Not Pretentious
After getting off the ne, Riley and the patients from several other departments of the hospital got on
a bus while carrying medical supplies. The bus drove though bumpy roads for a couple of hours, and it
was already nine o''clock at night when they reached the town.
When they got off the bus, Riley and the fellow doctors were dumbfounded.
“What kind of ce is this?”
“It looks like the ce Mao Zedong had been through when he fought in the gueri warfare!”

The dirt road underneath their feet were rugged and uneven, the junction outside of the town only had
two dim streetmps. The saffron-colored lights were only able to light up a small, round area on the
ground. Those poor lights had not been taken care of for a long time.
“Damn, how can anyone live here? Is this ce not yet liberated?"
“Did I travel through time? Will we see a ghost in the vigeter?”
“There are no ghosts here, but if we failed toplete our mission, we might be the ones who will
be the ghosts.”
“Ah! Are you bored of living! You scared me to death!”
Between the seven to eight doctors, there were only three women, the other two majored in respiratory
and gastroenterology, they were all neers with shallow qualifications. It was obvious that they
were sent here to be sidelined.
The group of people were shivering in fear as they walked to the amodation prepared by the
hospital in advance. There was only a two-story building in this town, an incandescentmp was
hanging by the door of the building, the power of the light bulb was only about fifteen watts. The wind
also kept blowing, and it looked like themp will fall at any moment.
When they arrived at the door of the building, the vige chief quickly came out to wee them while
inviting them warmly toe in and rest. The middle-aged man wore an old Chinese tunic suit, and a
hole burned by a cigarette could be seen on his sleeve through the light of themp.
The poverty here was quite evident.
“I''ve been preparing to wee you all for a long time, and you all are finally here! Come on in, dinner
is ready.”
Although the vige chief was very passionate, several people still kept a respectful distance between
them. The people in this vige, who dared to have contact with them!
The eight people entered the door, and indeed, sixrge yellow big bowls filled with different dishes
was ced on the living room’s table. Seeing those dishes and indoor furnishings, the female doctors
just moved their sight to the other side, they did not want to open their mouths as they were scared that
they will vomit. They also could not stand to look at it a second time.
Riley’s reaction was not that dramatic, but as she just had a bumpy ride, her stomach and intestines
were not feeling that well, and it caused her to have no appetite.
Several doctors said in unison, “We have already eaten.”
The vige chief was a little embarrassed, “This... dishes have been prepared.”
Considering their concerns, the vige chief waved his hand and gave a straightforward exnation,
“You all don’t have to worry, these ingredients were specially bought from outside of the vige for you,
the vige people never even seen it before. The dishes were made by me alone, and I... I don’t have
any illness.”
The fellow viger exined again, but still no one dared to eat the dishes. They rather starved than to
risk their lives.
After Riley bit her lips and smiled at the vige chief, she also followed the others to the second floor.
When she was at the corners of the stairs, Riley looked down and saw the vige chief sigh while
looking at the dishes.
Her heart had some mixed feelings.
The so-called lounge, was just a room with two wooden beds lied inside and the bedding was new. The
two doctors started whimpering and crying once they entered the lounge, “I want to go home, what kind
of lousy ce is this.”
“I''m afraid, I''m afraid of getting sick. If we got sick here, we can''t be cured, boohoo!”
Riley tugged the quilt, “You guys are doctors, don’t you have anymon sense? What are you afraid
of? Let’s just sleep first as we will be busy tomorrow.”
The two doctors looked at Riley as if she was a monster, “You ... are actually not afraid?”
“What’s the use of being afraid? It is better to save some energy and rest. Try to get everything done by
tomorrow and go back early.”
That night, as Riley was lying in bed, she looked at the moonlight out the window of this three-
dimensional world. She cursed in her heart, “Damn it, this life is really worthwhile.”
At this time, JD City.
The bustling streets were decorated with neon lights which were bright like a sea of stars, everyone
here were indulging in a life of luxury.
William came out of the operating room at 9:30 p.m., as he rubbed his sore shoulders, he also looked
at the lights outside the window.
“Mr. Hardesty, did the surgery go well?”
Jeanne had already changed into her casual clothes. She wore a skirt which only covered to her knees.
She also wore a simple yet pretty bolero jacket. With some light makeup and long hair, she looked
gentle and noble.
“It went well.”
“Since Mr. Hardesty has been in the operating room for so long, you should be hungry, right? I''ve just
finished working too, why don''t we eat together.”
William took off his gloves and threw them into the trash can, “Some other time, it’s already quitete.”
Jeanne smiled warmly, her red lips were tinged with softness, “Mr. Hardesty, we can have the meal on
another day, but how can we change the date of one’s birthday?”
William knitted his handsome eyebrows, “Today’s your birthday?”
“Dear Mr. Hardesty, your intelligence and energy has been upied by the patients. Today, is your
birthday. So, birthday boy, I''m treating you to dinner, and you can’t refuse it.”
“Oh? It''s just a birthday, it doesn''t really matter.”
“Your birthday onlyes once a year, how can it not matter, let''s go! Just use today to pamper
yourself.”
Jeanne graciously held William’s arm and walked forward, thetter did not move and pulled out his
hand by acting as if he was finding his phone.
The two of them were sitting at the window of an elegant western restaurant. Jeanne kept trying to get
William’s attention. She tried changing several topics, but he was still not interested.
“By the way, does Mr. Hardesty know that the ce that our hospital has volunteered to give
assistance this time to was at a vige which was infested by AIDS, a total of eight doctors went there.”
William had heard of this decision, but he was too busy preparing for the surgery to ask in detail, “This
is a good thing, it''s great for the hospital to do more good deeds."
As Jeanne’s slender fingers held her knife and fork, she said carelessly, “I also think it''s great, the
doctors who went there were quite outstanding. Heh, I didn''t expect the best doctor from our cardiology
department also went with them.”
William’s hand was hanging in the air without any more movement, “Who are you talking about?”
Jeanne’s red lips tilted slightly, “Our hospital''s big shot, Riley Watson, Dr. Watson.”
Why did she go?
“I still have something to do, I''ll have to leave first. Ms. Pouchain, just take your time and enjoy your
dinner.”
“Mr. Hardesty, you...”
William hurriedly finished his meal and perfunctorily sent off Jeanne. That kind of ce, although he
knew someone had to go, he did not her to be one of them!
There were a lot of things needed to be done near the end of the month, Euan was busy in the
everywhere. Elijah was frowning, ‘Is it already thiste?’ he thought to himself.
Since his boss was still working, Elijah also did not dare to leave. He was so sleepy that he kept
yawning, so he opened his phone and watched a few funny videos to keep himself awake
However, a click on the Weibo’s treading topics in their city, Elijah’s finger stopped moving, “JD Central
Hospital did a good deed again, eight doctors have been dispatched to form a medical team which had
arrived at the vige infected with AIDS.”
His finger continued scrolling down, it contained the eight doctors'' ID photos. Thest photo was Riley’s
one.
Elijah opened his mouth and almost dislocated it. The famous Madam of the first son from the George
family, the precious daughter from the Watson family, actually followed the medical team to that kind of
ce!
If the boss knew this, the hospital will be blown up!
When Elijah looked up and saw Euan was putting on his jacket, he smiled cautiously, “Boss, are you
going home?”
Euan looked at him coldly, “What do you think!”
Elijah immediately talked nonsense with a serious look on his face, “Didn’t you go to your wife’s ce
yesterday?”
Typical, he was looking for death.
However, Euan was not in the mood to lecture him and said wearily, “Let’s go back to the Grand Pce
Hotel.”
Elijah waited for him to go out, while peeking at his cold eyes, “Boss, many things had happened at the
JD Central Hospital these days. Today, the hospital was actually in the news again.”
Euan was expressionless. Although Euan did not stop Elijah from talking, he was not happy about it
either.
As the elevator was quickly descending, Elijah was smiling, “I just saw the news, the JD Central
Hospital had sent eight doctors to the vige infected with AIDS, this... is very dangerous.”
Euan looked at Elijah with a cold expression, “Elijah, you have a lot of nonsense to say today.”
“... Then I''ll get straight to the point, this,e take a look ...”
Elijah handed the phone to Euan with both hands, and Euan impatiently took over the phone…
“Damn it!”
Riley just had to involve herself in everything, she really was not going to stop until she was dead. She
even involved herself in such matter, what a stupid woman! He thought.
“Snap!”
Euan, who was now angry, flung his arms. The ck cell phone was thrown and smashed in the
elevator. At the same time, the elevator door opened, and Euan walked out with big steps, leaving
Elijah in behind.
Elijah looked at his phone on the ground which had been shattered into pieces by his boss, tears could
be seen in the corners of his eyes. How can he be so pathetic?
The next day, the sound of chickens clucking in the middle of nowhere woke them up.
Riley lifted the nket, “Shit…”
Last night, she only felt that this ce was cold and creepy. However, today she realized that this
vige, not only was it deserted, but it was also surrounded by mountains, closing them off in all
directions. This ce was simply a small isted vige.
There were many mountains around them, as if they were linking the ground with the sky with their
bright green colors, like the pulse of a strong man, symbolizing the power of life. However, once she
turned around, she could only see a deserted vige, it looked pitiful.
“The countryside is not bad, the air is fresh, why don’t you all take a breath?” Riley stretched her body.
The two women beside her looked like a pair of chickens who had been defeated, listlessly pounding
their back and massaging their legs.
They were already facing problems after sleeping on wooden bed for one night?
“Dr Watson, now’s not the time to be joking, no one has the mood to view the scenery right now.”
None of the other doctor’s expression looked well, they felt depressed and terrified.
These feeling deepened when they saw what was for breakfast.
On the wooden table, same asst night, there were six big bowl which were filled with different dishes,
and eight bowls of white rice were ced next to them.
The vige chief smiled nervously, “Doctors, this town does not have much to offer, we just have some
simple food, you may eat it if you want to.”
One of the female doctors timidly took two steps back, “I… I’m trying to lose weight and I’m not hungry."
The male doctors were already hungry sincest night, they really did not want to eat it, but their
stomach could not handle it anymore. So, they could only swallow their saliva while looking at the
dishes.
Should they eat? Or should they not?
In that instance, everyone looked at Riley.
“Dr. Watson, are you hungry?”
Riley was speechless.
She had been tormented for almost an entire day; she would just be lying if she said she was not
hungry.
These dishes, they had to eat it. Even as a respectful act towards this straightforward and honest
vige chief, they still have to eat it
After biting her lips, Riley picked up the rice and ate the food, “Don’t you guys want to eat?”
After the five male doctors saw happened, they all sat down with her. They picked up the rice bowl and
started eating quickly. The dishes were great! They ate the food with pleasure.
Riley held a chopstick full of stir-fried pork with beans, “Beautifuldies, you guys really don’t want to
eat?”
The two people had vowed to not follow them, “We... really are not hungry. Heh.”
Somehow, seeing them, Riley suddenly thought of one word, pretentious.
As human beings, we really cannot be pretentious, being pretentious is the most disgusting behavior.
The vige chief finally was about to rx, “You guys don''t worry, the food is really safe, it''s just that... I
am not very good at cooking, the food that I’ve fried doesn''t taste that good.”
Riley ate happily, bite after bite. “You cook very well, you can open a restaurant in the future, we will
alsoe to support you!”
The five male doctors almost split out their food. Come here again? They were definitely noting
here again!
Before they finished eating their breakfast, a seven to eight-year-old child stumbled, entered the door
and fell to the ground, climbed up and continued to run, “Mister, my mother, she... she fainted again!”
Riley put aside her chopsticks and stood up, “What happened to your mother? Quickly bring us there
with you!”
