Chapter 513
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou and the others started protesting against his
announcement, "Don''t try to shift the responsibility. My son was lying in your ward before he
became like this. And yet you say that the doctor doesn''t hold any responsibility? Do you think that''s
possible?"
"Right! What more, how sure are you to say that this person in the video was the one who poisoned
Zeke? Look, he''s wearing a white coat, so maybe it''s just one of your doctors who is attending to
him."
Hearing their words, the principal frowned and looked at Fade and Daphne as though questioning
their findings.
Fade sneered and looked at the group of middle- aged women. His eyes narrowed slightly as he
said, "Indeed, we can''t confirm for sure that this person was the one who poisoned Zeke just by
looking at the surveince video."
"Moreover, even if we somehow confirmed that he was the one who poisoned Zeke, as the
attending doctor of Zeke, Dr. Tao still has to shoulder a certain responsibility."
At the mention of this, Mrs. Zhou and others were momentarily dumbstruck. They did not
understand why Fade suddenly spoke out for them.
Just then, Fade''s gaze hardened as he spoke coldly, "But I just got Zeke''s blood test results. After
reading the report, I found that the situation was different from what we''ve thought."
"On the contrary, Dr. Tao bears no responsibilities in this matter at all. You elders are the ones at
fault instead." Fade directly yelled at Mrs. Zhou and others. He shook his head and said spitefully, "I
really don''t understand, what kind of benefits were you given for you to risk your child''s life? Or
perhaps, you don''t even care about Zeke''s life because he was never your biological child?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou''s eyes widened, and she immediately pointed at Fade while yelling, "What
nonsense are you talking about? Risking my child''s life? Are you trying to imply that this is our fault?
You''re clearly just shifting the responsibility!"
"Sir, is this what your hospital does to solve a problem?" Mrs. Zhou turned and questioned the
principal, "I will have to talk to my husband about this matter. He is the department head of the
Health Bureau in Long City. Just you wait and see, I''ll make sure your hospital receives punishment
and closes down."
The principal looked a little flustered after hearing those words. He quickly looked at Fade and
Daphne and said, "What did you mean just now? Tell us clearly."
Fade looked at Mrs. Zhou and sneered, "Up to this point, you are still not worried about your son''s
physical condition. Instead, you kept causing trouble. Do you really think there is nothing wrong with
the offer the person made to you?"
"What are you talking about? I don''t understand!" Mrs. Zhou vehemently denied.
"You don''t understand?" Fade said coldly, "If you don''t understand, then let me exin to you once
again slowly."
As he said this, he took out the test results and pointed to an index. "ording to the test results,
there are excessive levels of alpha protein in Zeke''s bloodstream."
"This kind of alpha protein can''t be regarded as a toxin and can only be regarded as a foreign
protein. After entering the human body, the antibodies in the body will reject the protein, giving rise
to rashes on the skin. Although the situation might look scary, it is in fact not dangerous and can be
cured quickly."All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
Upon hearing this, the principle and the higher- ups nodded and understood Fade''s analysis. But
they still did not know the point of him saying this.
On the other hand, Mrs. Zhou and the others'' expressions changed when they heard this. They
looked somewhat awkward.
Fade stared at them and continued tly, "We just managed to discover this protein in his body, and
we also just realized the fact that it causes rashes. However, you guys immediately mentioned that
Zeke was suffering from rashes the minute you entered the ward. When we informed you that he
was poisoned, you were shocked and did not believe us, yet you act unsympathetic and
unconcerned towards him. Instead, you decided to berate Dr. Tao for answers."
"Therefore, I would like to rify with you. Dr. Tao didn''t even have time to inform you nor tell you in
advance that Zeke was suffering from rashes. How did you manage to arrive so quickly and be so
confident about his condition?" Fade asked coldly.
"We, we heard from other doctors." Mrs. Zhou stammered and tried to exin.
"Who? Which doctor told you, and when?" Fade immediately shot back.
"Well, we don''t need to tell you the minor details, you just have to know that we were informed
beforehand." Mrs. Zhou looked a little flustered and proceeded to change the subject. "You can''t
change the fact that you''re trying to shirk from the responsibility after saying so much. No matter
what, my son became like this after being admitted to this hospital, so you have to take
responsibility."
"Yes, you must be responsible!" The bunch of aunties started to make a ruckus again.
The principal frowned and thought to himself. Even if Fade was telling the truth, it was just their
inference. They were still unable to confirm if the responsibility fell on the family''s part.
However, Fade shook his head as he sneered coldly and stood his ground, "Responsibility? What a
joke. Even if Dr. Tao and the hospital were to shoulder all the responsibilities, did you think
everything would be settled?"
"I would like to ask, you were talking about the rashes as soon as you came in. Yet until now, Zeke''s
skin has shown no signs of rashes but he has started to vomit blood. Why do you think this
happened, and are you truly not concerned at all?" Fade retorted.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou''s face turned pale and looked concerned. She rushed to her son and held
his hand. She could feel his weak pulse and cold touch as she asked, "Zeke, how do you feel? Are
you alright? Tell Mom quickly."
Zeke replied weakly, "Mom, I, I feel very ufortable. It''s hard for me to breathe. I feel like I''m
suffocating. I don''t feel well -"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou was truly anxious. She held her son''s hand and pleaded, "How could this
happen? How could this happen? Please save my son. Hurry!"
Seeing this, Daphne could not help but bite her lips, and she was about to step forward to help.
But Fade suddenly held her back, and turned to look at Mrs. Zhou coldly as he said, "We can save
your son, but you must tell us the truth about the poisoning. Otherwise, no one can save your son."
"I - " Mrs. Zhou was in a dilemma and was reluctant to speak.
Seeing this, Fade said unsympathetically, "Since you''re not willing to admit, let''s go. After all, it''s
your son who''s dying, not someone else''s."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou suddenly became anxious and said in a hurry, "I''ll tell you, I''ll tell you
everything."
"Alright then, spit it out!" Fade shouted at her harshly.
Mrs. Zhou''s face darkened, then she slowly admitted, "This happened two days ago when I brought
Zeke for a checkup. But after Ipleted the admission procedures for Zeke, someone approached
me."
"He said that he had some things to discuss with me and gave me an offer that was irresistible. I
was reluctant to believe it at first, but the man managed to speak of my personal details without
mistake. He even said that he would help my husband get a promotion in the Health Bureau and
allow my family to make more money."
"Hearing what he''d said, I was a little moved. So, I started to negotiate the terms with him."
