Vireo happened to be making an emergency house call that day when the Payne family first came to South City Hospital. The Payne family then pretended to be a patient and the patient's family to make some inquiries about Doctor Payne. The doctors who were on duty at that moment were too busy to pay attention to them. It so happened that a kindhearted patient next to them heard them asking about Doctor Payne, so that patient immediately became enthusiastic.
"Are you talking about the new doctor, Doctor Payne?" the patient asked Lucius.
Lucius nodded. "Mm-hmm. I heard that Doctor Payne is a very skilled doctor."
The patient then introduced Doctor Payne t o Lucius excitedly. "That's right. That's right. Doctor Payne is very young, but he has just returned from abroad. He is a very skilled surgeon and is an extremely great doctor. Let me tell you something. My wife's operation was extremely difficult. A few surgeons did not dare to be in charge o f the operation. It was Doctor Payne who had cured her."
After he was done with his introduction, the patient even asked Lucius, "Are you here to seek treatment as well?"
Lucius shook his head. "My daughter is also a doctor. She has a crush on Doctor Payne, so I thought of coming to inquire about him."
The patient's family immediately said with a broad smile, "Well, then you really came t o the right person. Doctor Payne is a very skilled doctor. He has a good character, gentle, and gentlemanly. He is perfect, but the only thing is that Doctor Payne’s parents have both died. The person he was closest to is his mentor. However, you don't have to worry. Both of Doctor Payne's parents had passed away, but he is good with chores at home. If your daughter were to marry him in the future, she would not have to suffer. Do you know how I know he i s good with house chores? He knows how t o cook. During that time when my wife just had her operation, Doctor Payne actually brought the soup that he had prepared at home for her. Gosh, the meat was so tender, and the taste was especially good. I thought he had bought it and wanted to pay him back, but he said that he had made it himself. He spent a whole night making it. He said the soup is very nutritious which is very beneficial for my wife to recover from the swelling. How thoughtful of a person he is. He is a doctor who has returned from abroad, but he is not arrogant at all. He is very easy to approach, and he often mingles with patients like us. Not just patients like us, he is also very nice to the janitors and caretakers in the hospital. He really is a good person that is hard to come by."
That was the information about Doctor Payne that a patient’s family had told them in detail when the Payne family had made an inquiry about the doctor at the hospital. That patient was very grateful to Doctor Payne and had heard that Doctor Payne was a newcomer, both of his parents had passed away, and he was single. However, what the patient knew was the information that was already half a month old. In just half a month, not only did Doctor Payne get a father and a mother, but he also has a person that he loved. His lover was working as an ordinary caretaker at that hospital. The patient did not know about that.
Therefore, from what the Payne family had learned, Vireo was still single and he also already had a house in South City. It was said that his house in South City was a large apartment downtown that the hospital had specially bought for him. It was a large apartment, which meant that it was bright, spacious, and had lots of rooms. That also meant that the large apartment had enough room for the entire Payne family to stay in there. It was not impossible for the entire Payne family to move to South City in the future.
They did not wait for Vireo impatiently at the hospital. Rather, they sent Chloe and her husband to the hospital a second time." My father’s condition was cured by Doctor Payne. My father is so grateful that he kept crying and he asked that we must thank Doctor Payne. These are the peanuts and purple garlic that we had grown back home, and there are also some local specialties that we have to personally give t o Doctor Payne. But, Doctor Payne did not want it. Doctor, can you please help us and tell us the neighborhood that Doctor Payne i s living in? We won't go into his house. We just want to leave all these local specialties with the neighborhood's doorman, and then we'll leave."
