At the mention of this, Mrs. Zhou's eyes reddened and she could not help but weep in sorrow.
Fade remained unmoved and shouted coldly, "What did you two talk about?"
Mrs. Zhou revealed slowly, "We, we talked about how the person wanted to use my son against the hospital. He wanted to ruin the hospital's reputation and his target was none other than Dr. Tao."
Daphne was startled and did not expect this to be related to herself.
Mrs. Zhou continued, "He said that his plan was to make Zeke's condition worsen. As such, Dr. Tao would have to take responsibility, and the hospital would need to pay a large sum of compensation at the same time."
"When I heard that Zeke's condition would worsen, I was very worried and immediately refused him. I wanted to leave, but the man grabbed me and said that my son's deteriorating condition would only be superficial, and Zeke would be fine."
"I didn't believe him. However, he showed his
own medical license and immediately gave me a sum of money. He even performed an experiment and showed it to me. So, I believed him and promised to carry out the plan."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. Even Zeke, who was lying in the hospital bed, looked at his mother in shock and betrayal. "Mom, how could you -"
Mrs. Zhou tried to explain herself, "Zeke, I was blinded for a moment. You know too, your father has not been given a raise in so many years. I don't have a job, and our family's financial status is nothing close to the prosperity of what's being displayed. So, I, I -"
Halfway through her words, she could not continue anymore and burst into tears.
Seeing this, Fade helped her sum up her sentence, "So, you agreed to the man's request and cooperated with him to poison Zeke. After the incident, you immediately brought people to guilt-trip Dr. Tao to fulfill his request and put the blame on her and the hospital. This was the reason why you were never worried about your son's condition from the beginning, right?"
Mrs. Zhou continued to sob. Finally, she nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. Now, can you save my son?"
"Not yet!" Fade shook his head and asked, "There is one last question. Who was the person who poisoned him?"
Mrs. Zhou paused for a moment, hesitating before she revealed, "He showed me his certificate, saying that he used to be a doctor in the City Medical Center. His name was Fabian Lin."
Upon hearing her words, everyone in the hospital was taken aback.
Daphne did not expect that Fabian still harbored a grudge against her after he was fired due to Chief Zheng's matter last time. Not to mention, he even came up with such an elaborate plan to frame her and take revenge.
The principal and other executive leaders were also shocked. The former Principal Lin was dismissed by Chief Zheng because of his special relationship with Fabian. However, now that Fabian was still trying to cause trouble at the hospital, they wouldn't sit still and allow him to do so.
Silence hung in the ward for some time, disrupted only by Zeke's coughing as he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Mrs. Zhou was horrified when she saw this. She quickly said, "Hurry up and save my son. Please, hurry up!"
Fade did not say anything more. He said a few words to Daphne, who then walked to the side of the bed, grabbed Zeke's wrist and began to treat him.
Quickly, Fade managed to stabilize his condition while Daphne brought the corresponding medicines over. After injecting it into Zeke, his condition obviously improved. His complexion looked better, and all his vital signs gradually returned to normal as he fell asleep.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou and the others let out a sigh of relief.
