The woman forcefully pulled the girl over to Qin Jiang and made her sit down on a stool.
Beep.
The woman swiped both of their ID cards on the card reader, then said to Qin Jiang, “Dr. Qin, could you please take a look at my daughter and tell me if she’s pregnant?”
Just that simple?
Qin Jiang even thought he had misheard.
After all, most patients who came to see him were either in critical condition or had complicated illnesses that other doctors couldn’t solve.
This was the first time Qin Jiang had seen someone like this woman, who had directly arranged for a pregnancy check.
But after all, Qin Jiang was just a doctor. What patients wanted to be examined was their own freedom.
Qin Jiang took a sip of tea, then asked, “Are you ready? If you’re ready, put your hand up here.”
When it comes to checking pregnancy through pulse diagnosis, Chinese medicine ranks second to none—Western medicine absolutely wouldn’t dare claim first.
However, both diagnostic methods have their pros and cons.
For example, with Chinese medicine, Qin Jiang could deduce many things from the pulse.
Including the girl’s exact time of pregnancy—this was important for most people, especially for the girl’s mother right now.
If her mother could know the exact time of pregnancy, then perhaps she could figure out who that irresponsible boy was.
Seeing Qin Jiang frowning deeply while taking the pulse, the woman Gao Lan couldn’t help but ask, “How is it, doctor? Is my daughter really pregnant?”
Qin Jiang shook his head and said, “Your daughter does have quite a few health issues, but she is indeed not pregnant.”
Hearing Qin Jiang say this, the girl Zhao Zhuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Gao Lan waved her hands repeatedly.
“Impossible! How could she not have a boyfriend? She hasn’t had her period for three months already. Besides pregnancy, can you think of any other explanation?”
Just as Gao Lan was confused, Qin Jiang continued, “How do you know she hasn’t had her period for three months?”
Gao Lan felt a bit embarrassed by Qin Jiang’s question.
She stammered, “I’m her mother, after all. We’re all women, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about with this kind of thing.”
“I’ve always been the one handling the trash cans and such at home. Every time I take out the trash, I subconsciously check whether there’s anything that shouldn’t be thrown away in the bin. After all, thrift is a virtue.”
“And sure enough, I actually found something!”
Gao Lan asked righteously, “Dr. Qin, fortunately I discovered this early. Otherwise, with her attitude, who knows how long she would have kept it from me!”
“Dr. Qin, just tell me directly whether she’s pregnant or not. Leave the rest to me.”
The viewers in the live stream were also getting a bit impatient.
“What’s wrong with this woman? It feels like she can’t understand what people are saying.”
“Worry makes you confused. This mother must be panicking.”
“Any parent with a daughter would definitely panic at this moment. She hasn’t even gotten into college yet, and she’s already dating. The college entrance exam won’t give extra points for that.”
“Yeah, if my daughter suddenly stopped having her period for three months, I’d definitely suspect something’s wrong. That’s a natural reaction, right?”
The viewers in the live stream expressed that they could fully understand Gao Lan’s feelings. After all, there are too many young troublemakers in society these days. Those with daughters wish they could personally pick up and drop off their kids from school every day.
Otherwise, if their daughter got targeted by some young punk, it would be as if they raised her for nothing.
Seeing so many people watching, Qin Jiang spoke up, “Your daughter isn’t pregnant—she has severe anemia.”
Hearing Qin Jiang say this, both mother and daughter were stunned.
The mother Gao Lan even laughed and said, “Dr. Qin, did you make a mistake? My daughter eats normally and rests normally every day. How could she have anemia?”
“Besides, what does anemia have to do with not getting her period? That’s ridiculous, isn’t it?”
Gao Lan didn’t believe Qin Jiang’s judgment.
Qin Jiang didn’t waste words with her and directly had Zou Moli take Zhao Zhuo for tests.
Five minutes later, the test report came out.
Qin Jiang handed the report to Gao Lan and said calmly, “This is the test report. The results show that your daughter does have severe anemia.”
“Moreover, her current condition is rather dangerous. If treatment isn’t started promptly, her condition could further deteriorate and cause other complications.”
Qin Jiang handed another scan to Gao Lan.
“This is your daughter’s ultrasound. You can look at it yourself to confirm there are no signs of pregnancy.”
“If you don’t believe these two test reports, you can also go directly to a major hospital for examination.”
Gao Lan’s expression immediately became somewhat awkward, not knowing what to say.
“Sorry, Dr. Qin. I was speaking a bit too loudly earlier. I didn’t disturb you, did I?”
“Dr. Qin, about my daughter’s severe anemia—does she need surgery or something? And what’s causing her current condition?”
Qin Jiang didn’t rush to answer Gao Lan’s questions. Instead, he looked at Zhao Zhuo and asked,
“Student Zhao Zhuo, in order to figure out why you have anemia, you need to answer my next questions truthfully.”
Gao Lan also nodded repeatedly on the side, adding, “Right, Dr. Qin is a professional. Whatever he asks you, just answer. Don’t hide anything.”
Zhao Zhuo nodded, indicating she understood.
Qin Jiang asked, “Do you have a boyfriend right now?”
Zhao Zhuo glanced at Gao Lan and didn’t dare make a sound.
Your question is way too direct!
Couldn’t you be a bit more subtle?
Gao Lan also perked up her ears to listen. After all, when it comes to children dating too early, the sooner it’s stopped, the better.
Zhao Zhuo stammered, “Dr. Qin, can I not answer this question? I feel like it shouldn’t have anything to do with my illness, right?”
Qin Jiang said calmly, “Every question I ask you is related to your illness. But since you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to.”
“After all, it’s your own body, not mine.”
Qin Jiang’s indifferent attitude actually left Zhao Zhuo somewhat confused.
Could it be that the questions Qin Jiang asked really were related to her illness?
After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Zhuo finally said a name.
“I have a boyfriend. His name is Zhou Hao.”
Hearing that Zhao Zhuo actually did have a boyfriend, Gao Lan was about to explode with anger.
“Alright! I knew I wasn’t wrong. You really do have a boyfriend!”
“Just wait—I’m going to beat you to death today!”
Zhao Zhuo was frightened badly and quickly got up to dodge.
The viewers in the live stream also sighed with emotion.
“Kids these days really mature early. Dating at this age already.”
“Her mother being anxious is understandable. The college entrance exam is coming up soon—how can she afford to be distracted by dating?”
“Romance during student days—the purest, and also the most delaying.”
