Seeing her relatives getting angry, a middle-aged woman next to them quickly said, "Ruby, don't listen to your brother-in-law's nonsense. He's like this, his words may not sound good, but his heart is good."
Ruby is the patient's daughter. A few days ago, when her father was having a physical exam and doing an electrocardiogram, the Doctor Ryan suddenly asked them to rush to the emergency room.
After the emergency room doctors examined him, they immediately arranged for hospitalization, and the surgery room also arranged for surgery immediately.
This patient happened to be Ryan's patient, named Maxwell, and Ryan performed the surgery.
Both coronary arteries were more than 90% blocked, and the left coronary artery had even reached 96%, which could cause a heart attack and death at any time.
Three stents were placed in the heart during the surgery. It was found that the patient had hypertension and diabetes, and it was absolutely necessary to quit smoking and alcohol and control sugar intake.
Ryan had already explained this, and the on-duty doctor emphasized it again, which shows how important it is to control diet.
So, Ruby must be angry.
She didn't even look at her cousin and cousin-in-law, and directly showed a bad attitude, making the atmosphere a bit awkward.
Her cousin had to reconcile, pretending to be angry and said, "He's just someone who doesn't have a filter. Those who know you know that you're happy that Uncle Westin is leaving the hospital. Those who don't know might think you want to harm him!"
The middle-aged man didn't care at all. Seeing Ruby showing a bad attitude towards him, he didn't feel happy either. He just felt that the child was petty.
The relatives couldn't sit still anymore, and said one after another, "It's good that you're leaving the hospital. We'll go back first and come to your house to see you in a few days!"
Maxwell shook his head one by one.
After the people left, Ruby showed a sulky face and said, "Dad, don't talk to my cousin's husband! The doctor said you can't drink, if you drink again, just wait for it."
Maxwell sat on the hospital bed and persuaded, "Don't bother with your cousin's husband. That's just how he is."
Ruby sneered, "If that's how he is, should others just follow him?"
She remembered when she failed her college entrance exam in high school, her brother-in-law was ecstatic and told everyone, "I knew Ruby couldn't make it, she's a fake virtuous woman, I saw through her a long time ago."
Later, she repeated her senior year and her cousin's husband became even more excessive. When drinking with relatives, he said, "If Ruby can get into college, I'll set off fireworks immediately and give her another 30,000 dollars!"
Ruby did like to play in internet cafes during high school, but even so, her academic performance was not bad. She just kept comparing herself to her cousin's son, so her brother-in-law was so happy when she unexpectedly failed.
Later, she successfully passed the college entrance exam.
And her cousin's husband? He suddenly became quiet.
On the other side, the middle-aged man who walked out of the ward was also very unhappy.
"Trying to ease the tension with a joke, and he gave me a cold face. I've been saying it, your cousin is very arrogant and looks down on people."
Ruby's cousin said speechlessly, "Can't you say a few less things?"
The middle-aged man frowned, "What should I say less? What I said is the truth. There's no such thing as can't eat this or can't eat that. Look at the old man in our village with cancer. He smokes, drinks, and eats everything, and he lived to be 90 years old."
Ruby's cousin thought about it and didn't say anything.
No one could see the evil ghost hovering over the middle-aged man's head, with green eyes shining...

After Susie and the others finished their meal, Ryan's colleague said he had finished Zion's report with overtime and asked him to go back to the ward to pick up the report, which was on his desk.
Susie and the others followed and saw Maxwell, who was being assisted by several children, walking out of the nurse station and thanking them.
Seeing Ryan, Ruby quickly said, "Dr. Xavier, we are discharged from the hospital today. Thank you so much for everything during this time!"
The other children of Maxwell also thanked him one after another.
Ryan waved his hand, "It's my job. Remember to pay attention to your diet after you go back. Don't smoke, drink, or drink tea. Your diet should be based on nutrition, low sugar, and low fat."
Ruby and the others nodded repeatedly.
Susie looked curiously at the aunt in front of her.
Mitch said, "She has a bit of evil spirit on her, probably from the mouth-obsessed ghost. Juicy, check with your cousin's side for their contact information later."
Mouth-obsessed, simply put, means speaking without any filter, not caring about others' feelings, only caring about their own words, even if it harms others.
Those who spread rumors and spend their whole day talking about others also belong to this kind of mouth-obsessed people. After death, they are most likely to go to the tongue-pulling hell.
Susie nodded, "Hmm!"
Ruby exclaimed, "Dr. Xavier, this is your daughter! She's so cute!"
There was even a parrot hidden in her coat... Ruby found it very interesting.
Ryan smiled, "She's my niece."
Ruby couldn't help reaching out to touch the parrot's head, but unfortunately it dodged.
Alex, Hmph, such a mundane person still wants to touch your uncle's head?
On the side, Maxwell's children spoke one after another, "Dr. Xavier, thank you for saving my father's life! To celebrate my father's discharge, we are having a banquet this weekend. Would you like to come and have a meal with us?"
Ryan's mouth twitched. He had never seen a celebration banquet for being discharged from the hospital before. He definitely wouldn't attend this kind of banquet, which was improper and ridiculous.
"No need..." Ryan began to say, but Mitch encouraged, "Juicy, ask your uncle to take you to the banquet!"
Before Ryan finished speaking, he was hugged by Susie. "Uncle, Susie wants to go to the banquet!" The little girl looked at Ryan with watery eyes.
Wade felt sorry for his sister, who had probably never attended a banquet in Boston, so he insisted on taking her.
Hamza said, "It's just a banquet..."
After some thought, Ryan realized that there hadn't been many banquets lately. Mrs. Alana suggested, "Lucy is starting elementary school after graduating from kindergarten. Why don't we have a banquet to celebrate?"
Zion and the others fell into contemplation, except for Zion himself.
Ryan was about to refuse, but he changed his mind and said, "No need to be so polite..."
Ruby said, "It's just relatives and friends coming over to celebrate my dad's discharge from the hospital. It's just a casual meal. If Dr. Xavier has time, please come over as well?"
Maxwell also said, "We must thank you properly!"
Ryan put on a face of reluctance...
Ten minutes later, Ryan shook hands with the patient and sent them away, holding a piece of paper with their address on it. His mouth twitched. What on earth was going on here?
Turning around, he saw Susie looking at him with expectant eyes. Ryan thought to himself, "Oh well, it must be something important for my little niece to act like this.
She wouldn't go to someone else's house just for fun."
Ryan hugged Susie and whispered, "Is there a ghost?" Ever since he met his sister Clara and learned that ghosts really existed in this world, he had been uneasy. He felt like he was surrounded by "people" during surgery. Anyone with slightly poor mental resilience wouldn't be able to go on.
Susie whispered back, "Yes, there is a ghost!"
Ryan was speechless.
Susie hesitated and then said, "Uncle, are you scared? If you're scared, I'll ask Dad to take me instead."
Ryan quickly said, "No way! How could Uncle be scared? It's Uncle's patient, and it wouldn't be appropriate for your dad to go instead."
Susie didn't say anything more.
Ryan changed the subject, "Come on, let's go see Zion's report!"
Meanwhile, Zion felt like he was suddenly unimportant.
