The line of people waiting for Fang Qingyou's consultation was still long, but she patiently examined each and every one of them.

The same applies to Chen Zhongjie and Dr. Sun.

They diagnose patients, prescribe medicine, and explain precautions. Patients can choose to get their medicine at Cheng'an Medical Clinic or at other pharmacies.

Suddenly, an urgent cry came from the long line in front of Chen Zhongjie: "Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad?"

At that moment, Fang Qingyou was carefully taking the pulse of an elderly pregnant woman when she heard the commotion and turned her gaze over.

It turned out that in Chen Zhongjie's line, an old man who was in the middle of the line suddenly fainted, and his son was so anxious that his voice changed.

"Dad, we're almost at the doctor's, you can't be hurt! Dad, Dad, wake up!" The young man anxiously hugged his father, his face full of worry.

"Young man, is your father suffering from a sudden illness?"

"Look at that old man's face, it's really scary."

This unusual situation sparked discussion among the onlookers.

“My father has always been in poor health, but we are too poor to afford medical treatment. Today, when we heard that Chengan Hall was offering free medical services, we rushed over.” The young man said, his eyes reddening and his voice choked with emotion. “But, unexpectedly, my father couldn’t even hold on for a little while longer.”

The young man looked grief-stricken, as if his father had already passed away.

Seeing this, everyone felt sorry for him: "Young man, we are all waiting for the free clinic at Cheng'an Hall. Your father is so ill, you should let the doctor take a look at him as soon as possible."

"But..." The young man hesitated, looking troubled as if he wanted his father to get treatment as soon as possible but did not want to disrupt the order of the group.

It was the man in his thirties behind him who pulled the young man to the front of the line: "Brother, your dad's in this state, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and let the doctor take a look."

"This..." The young man looked embarrassed.

At this moment, Chen Zhongjie spoke up to comfort him, "Brother, if Dad is really seriously ill, we can't delay. Don't think too much about it, let me check on his condition quickly."

Upon hearing this, the young man was overjoyed and quickly thanked Chen Zhongjie, saying, "Thank you, doctor."

As he spoke, the young man impatiently placed his father, whom he was holding, on the stool so that Chen Zhongjie could take his pulse.

Seeing his father's pale face, Chen Zhongjie reached out and placed his fingers on his pulse.

Seeing this, the young man visibly breathed a sigh of relief, a glint of secret joy flashing across his eyes.

Dr. Sun glanced at the situation here and then went back to his work.

Fang Qingyou, however, couldn't help but glance at the young man again.

The young man seemed to care a lot about his father, but there wasn't much grief or worry in his eyes.

However, Fang Qingyou did not want to expose this, nor would she take over the treatment of this old man.

Although the old man's condition looked serious, his complexion and spirits were still relatively good, so it shouldn't be a serious illness.

Chen Zhongjie is perfectly capable of handling this kind of illness.

Moreover, the elderly pregnant woman that Fang Qingyou was currently examining appeared to be normal, but in reality, she had some symptoms of pregnancy-related hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. If she did not receive proper treatment, her life could be in danger, so she could not afford to be distracted.

After taking his father's pulse, Chen Zhongjie's furrowed brows relaxed. His father's illness was indeed not serious; it was just that he was feeling unwell and had suffered a slight heatstroke, which was why he suddenly fainted.

Therefore, Chen Zhongjie quickly wrote out a prescription for his father and explained the precautions to the young man.

However, the young man, clutching the prescription, refused to leave and instead pleaded with Chen Zhongjie, "Doctor, my father's condition seems very serious. Please have mercy and treat him now, so he can at least get some relief. I'm so worried about him looking like this."

The young man pleaded, and his words left Chen Zhongjie no room to refuse.

If he didn't treat the old man now, it would seem as if he were heartless and cruel.

Chen Zhongjie decided to teach his father a lesson. At this point, not only would others think of him, but he himself would also be unable to get over his own conscience.

At this moment, Fang Qingyou had finished treating the elderly pregnant woman and was writing a prescription.

During the process, Fang Qingyou became distracted and kept an eye on Chen Zhongjie's situation.

Fang Qingyou initially thought the young man was just being fake filial, and that he was only coming to the free clinic so that his father could get treatment for free.

Now it seems that the young man has ulterior motives.

The clinic had agreed to provide free medical consultations, and the old man's illness was not serious. However, while the young man kept expressing his gratitude to Chen Zhongjie and seemed to trust his medical skills, he was not satisfied with the prescription and even forced Chen Zhongjie to treat the old man's illness right now.

This can only mean one thing: either the young man didn't trust Chen Zhongjie's medical skills, or he really did have ulterior motives.

The main reason for his father's sudden fainting was heatstroke, so Chen Zhongjie only massaged some acupoints for him. As long as he can regain consciousness, he will recover quickly.

Chen Zhongjie's diagnosis was correct. His father woke up after he massaged his acupoints for about a quarter of an hour.

Upon seeing this, the young man was overjoyed and immediately made a gesture to kneel down and thank Chen Zhongjie: "Doctor, thank you so much for saving my father. You are truly a miracle worker. From now on, you will be a great benefactor to my family!"

Chen Zhongjie quickly stopped the young man: "Brother, you really don't need to do this. Saving lives is my duty. Your father is still weak, and it's too hot outside. You should take him back to rest as soon as possible."

"Thank you, doctor! Thank you, thank you!" The young man thanked Chen Zhongjie several times, his expression full of gratitude, before turning and leaving with his father.

Upon seeing this, Fang Qingyou's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Actually, this young man didn't need to do that. She felt that he wasn't doing it to show filial piety or to gain a reputation for being filial.

In fact, Fang Qingyou's guess was correct.

Just as the young man was helping the old man leave the clinic, the two had only reached the middle of the free clinic line when the old man fainted again.

This time, the young man's reaction was not as timely. Because he failed to catch his father in time, his father fell heavily to the ground with a loud crash.

"boom--"

The sudden sound of a collision drew everyone's attention, and they all looked over to see what had happened.

Before the people in the distance could even realize what had happened, they heard the young man suddenly scream in a sorrowful voice, "Father, Father, Father, what's wrong with you? Father, Father, don't scare me!"

Upon hearing this sound, many people's expressions changed, as if someone had died.
