The phone rang. Ye Haochuan took out his cellphone, his eyes lingering for a moment on a string of unfamiliar numbers.
He answered the call, and immediately, a voice came through the receiver, polite to an extreme: "Doctor Ye, sorry to bother you. I'm Zhang Zongyao. It's been over a month since we last met at Haishan Hospital. You promised back then to treat my nephew in a month's time, but we weren't able to reach you via phone. I'm wondering if you've got the time now?"
Hearing this, Ye Haochuan slapped his forehead suddenly. Zhang Zongyao's nephew, Zhang Jianhui, had been in a speeding car accident, sustaining total-body comminuted fractures, severe internal organ damage, and significant brain trauma.
