Chapter 147: Chapter 147: I’ll Take Action
About fifteen minutes later, Yusuf Zuck did not receive a call from Jade Cooke’s mother; instead, a person claiming to be ’Secretary Yang’ called him. After asking for Yusuf’s exact address and contact information, Secretary Yang instructed him to wait at the current location and that a car would be sent to pick him up shortly.
By noon, a military green military ambulance arrived at the hospital and found Yusuf, assisting him with the transfer procedures.
Yusuf didn’t ask any questions. The Shepherd family had enormous influence; arranging an ambulance was no big deal and not considered anything illegal or undisciplined. For the Shepherd family, it was hardly worth mentioning.
Of course, two emergency doctors from the military hospital also came along with the ambulance, taking care of Felix Zuck the entire way.
Old Xu didn’t follow Yusuf to the capital, but Yusuf took down his bank card number, claiming that he would send him money when he found the time.
That afternoon at seven o’clock, the ambulance brought Felix Zuck to Ditan Hospital—also the hospital where Jade Cooke was staying. The hospital had already organized a team of experts, who began a consultation as soon as Felix arrived.
Outside Felix Zuck’s hospital room, Yusuf once again saw Erasmus Cooke and his wife.
"Thank you, Uncle Shepherd, thank you, Auntie!" Yusuf bowed deeply to the two. He was genuinely moved by the Shepherd family’s righteousness in arranging the transfer to this extent and also felt they did not possess the overbearing demeanor of a prestigious family; on the contrary, they seemed quite approachable.
"Let’s not talk about thanks. You haven’t eaten, have you? Go have a meal first. I’ve found a care worker for you. After eating, come find us in Jade’s room. Jade wants to meet you, his great benefactor!" said Erasmus Cooke with a smile.
"He’s awake?" Yusuf exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, he woke up last night and he’s in very good condition. Old Master Liu said that without you, Jade wouldn’t have woken up so quickly."
"Good to hear he’s awake, but I’m not hungry yet. I’ll go to see him after the experts finish consulting on my dad." Yusuf couldn’t leave at the moment, seeing as many experts were still in Felix Zuck’s room, and as the only relative, how could he leave?
"Alright, we’ll wait a bit then," Erasmus Cooke and his wife nodded with smiles.
After about fifteen minutes, six or seven hospital experts emerged from the room and went straight to Erasmus Cooke.
"Leader, the patient’s condition is not optimistic, the transplant regeneration surgery is no longer effective..." The team of experts all had grim faces, as too much time had passed, and it was no longer possible to reattach what had been severed.
"Transplant regeneration?" Erasmus Cooke wasn’t even aware of Felix Zuck’s illness.
"Yes, the patient’s reproductive system has been completely destroyed, so there’s no point in reconnection now. What needs to be done is reconstructive and skin grafting surgeries to ensure the patient faces minimal hindrance in his future life," said one of the experts with a nod.
Erasmus Cooke narrowed his eyes and gave Yusuf Zuck a glance, then spoke in a heavy voice, "Bring me the original medical records to review."
"Here they are." An expert immediately handed over the medical records from the county hospital to Erasmus Cooke. He began to read them from the start.
The county hospital’s medical records were detailed, noting the exact date and time the patient was seen, the patient’s condition, and so on—all meticulously documented.
After reading only two pages, Erasmus Cooke’s expression darkened. Yusuf’s father had been... had been...
No wonder Yusuf wanted a transfer. Such an incident must have spread throughout the small county by now, right? Causing a huge embarrassment, right? The patient probably couldn’t live in the small county anymore!
"You all do your best to treat the patient. Yusuf, come with me," said Erasmus Cooke before turning to leave.
Yusuf followed awkwardly.
"What happened?" Erasmus Cooke asked in a stern voice.
Yusuf shook his head, "I’m not sure about the specifics. It must be that my dad offended someone. But the police are investigating with all their might."
Erasmus Cooke let out a deep sigh, nodded, and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll look into this matter for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Cooke," Yusuf Zuck expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"Alright, you go back and be with your father now. He needs psychological support at this time. I’ll have the hospital send a psychologist to intervene," Erasmus Cooke glanced at Yusuf Zuck, "and don’t burden yourself with guilt. Try not to display too much negative emotion in front of the patient."
"Yeah," Yusuf Zuck nodded and turned to leave.
Erasmus Cooke’s wife approached him and quietly asked what had happened; she was unaware of the events.
After Erasmus Cooke explained to her, she also covered her mouth in shock. Could the assailants be so vile?
When Yusuf Zuck returned to the ward, the young nurse Paisley Kirk was there, as it was her shift tonight, and she had dismissed the caregivers that Erasmus Cooke had arranged.
"Brother Yusuf," Paisley Kirk whispered when she saw Yusuf Zuck coming in.
"It’s your shift today? Then I’m leaving my dad in your hands," Yusuf Zuck said with a smile.
"Yeah, don’t worry. From now on, he’s in my care. I’m going to officially resign tomorrow and then devote myself to taking care of Uncle!" Initially, Paisley Kirk planned to resign when Jerome Hart’s clinic opened, but now with the situation involving Yusuf Zuck’s father, she decided to resign early to take care of him.
"Alright, I’m going to make a call. Dad, this is Paisley, my friend. If you need anything, just ask her," Yusuf Zuck introduced.
"Ha ha, good, good. I want some alcohol, Paisley. Go buy me two bottles!" Felix Zuck chuckled.
"You can give him anything, but no alcohol!" Yusuf Zuck glared.
Paisley Kirk smiled and said, "I know, Uncle really shouldn’t drink right now."
Yusuf Zuck left the ward and while descending the stairs on his mobile phone, he called Fleur Carson.
"I’m going to make a move tonight; their people should be all here, with two more arriving," Fleur Carson announced his plans as soon as the call connected.
"I’m in the capital now, and I’ll join you!" Yusuf Zuck spoke icily, "Had I not returned, that would be one thing, but now that I am back, I’ll be the one to act!"
"You’re back so soon? What about your dad..." Fleur Carson asked, puzzled.
"He has been transferred, now he’s in a hospital in the capital."
Fleur Carson nodded, "Good, good. Which hospital? I’ll come to pick you up later."
"Ditan Hospital."
"Alright, I’ll be there soon," Fleur Carson said and hung up the call.
After hanging up with Fleur Carson, Yusuf Zuck called Jerome Hart to inquire about his clinic’s situation. Of course, Yusuf Zuck wasn’t truly concerned with how Jerome Hart’s clinic was doing; his main focus was to arrange things for Paisley Kirk.
Last time he took Paisley Kirk home, he discovered that where she lived was hardly fit for human habitation. Although he didn’t mention it at that moment, Yusuf Zuck had thought about discussing with Jerome Hart whether, once the clinic opened and if there was enough space, they could designate a separate room in the clinic for Paisley Kirk to live in.
He only had this thought at the time, but seeing Paisley Kirk volunteering to take care of his father today, Yusuf Zuck made a decision on the spot. He couldn’t be of much help with other things, but making sure she had a better place to live was something he could certainly do.
On the phone, Jerome Hart claimed the clinic wouldn’t be ready so soon, but he also suggested that Paisley could live with them since he and Samuel Ross had two spare rooms. If Paisley didn’t mind, they could help her move; she could pack up and move in right away.
