Mabel and her mother were both furious and worried when they heard the doctor's words, however there was nothing they could do about it.
Fade was also quiet for a while, then he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Doctor Qi and said, "So what you're saying is that, Harlem has overdue medical bills and by tomorrow, he can no longer continue staying in the hospital?"
"Yes, that's what I said," Doctor Qi said.
Fade pointed to the clock in the corridor and said, "Open your eyes and look at the clock! It's only 11:23 pm. This means that it isn't the next day yet! What rights do you have to kick him out now?"
Doctor Qi was stunned when he heard this and his face fell. Indeed, it was not 12am and technically Harlem's medical bills were not yet overdue. Therefore, the doctor couldn't kick him out.
"Technically his time is not up, but yet you guys are already kicking him out? What do you have to say for yourselves?" Fade shouted.
Doctor Qi's face looked very ugly, but then he snorted and said, "You are right, but he still only has half an hour. Once time is up, you better get the hell out of this hospital!"
The nurse at the front desk also said angrily, "Yes, once time is up, you better pack up and get out of this place!"
"City Medical Center is the best hospital in Hamlin City. Let's see where else you could go to treat his illness once you leave!" Doctor Qi said proudly.
The nurse immediately said maliciously, "Treat his illness? Huh! He'll probably be dead once he steps out of this hospital!"
Mabel and her mother's expressions changed when they heard the nurse's words and their faces were filled with worry.
Fade glared at Doctor Qi and the nurse, then he took out his cell phone and dialed a number, "Is this Andy Yue? I'm Fade Chen. I have arrived in Hamlin City. I need a favor...."
On the phone, Andy could be heard nodding to everything that Fade said. Then Fade hung up the phone.
Andy was a member of the Yue family and he was in Hamlin City to help expand the Yue family's business. He was the middleman between the Yue family and Hamlin City and usually helped relay any information he obtained here, in Hamlin City, to the Yue family.
The information that they managed to obtain about the Skull Mob bringing Yohannes' body to
Hamlin City was all thanks to Andy.
After the phone call, Fade walked to Harlem's bedside and said, "Let me take a look."
Mabel's mother looked at Fade doubtfully. Mabel quickly introduced him, "Mom, this is Fade. He's my friend from Yudson City. Brother Chen is a good person and helped me a lot. Moreover, Brother Chen is a Chinese medicine practitioner. He is very skilled!"
Mabel's mother immediately dispelled all of her doubts when she heard that Fade was a doctor and moved out of the way.
Fade came to the bedside, grabbed Harlem's wrist, and began to feel his pulse.
Fade's heart sank when he realized that Harlem's condition was more serious than what Mabel had told him.
Harlem's whole body was lacking in blood and vitality, as if someone had drained all of his blood and energy.
If this continued, Harlem would have at most, half a month to live.
When Mabel saw the frown on Fade's face, she couldn't help but worry. "Brother Chen, my father, is he-"
Fade said, "Don't worry about it. I can cure his illness."
As he spoke, Fade began channeling positive energy into Harlem in order to nourish his body. Then, he turned to Mabel and said, "Go and boil the medicine that I gave to you. Then, bring it over for your father."
