Chapter 739 Inquiry
"Okay..." Andy had no choice but to leave.
That text message must be someone's prank. Damn, who is so bored?
After watching Andy leave, Emily returned to the room and closed the door.
The room instantly became quiet.
Wen Liang, who was furious just a second ago, saw the expression on his face recede like the tide, leaving only the calmness of a deep pool.
She raised her hand to straighten her cuffs, which had wrinkled slightly from her movements. Her movements were smooth and graceful. "The show is over, Ms. Emily. Now, let's get down to business."
Emily asked tentatively, "Who are you?"
"You don't need to know. You just need to answer me, how much do you know about what happened six years ago?"
Emily knew she had been caught and couldn't escape, so she resigned herself to her fate and replied, "Robert was very secretive about that matter, and I don't know much..."
Despite her special relationship with Robert, Robert did a great job of keeping this matter confidential and would not reveal anything to her. The information she knew came from colleagues within the hospital.
"Then just tell me what you know, for example, who is Lucas Garcia's real identity?" Wen Liang had already prepared a recorder.
Emily works at Keller Hospital and has met Lucas before. If Lucas is really a master in some aspect of the medical field, it should be easy for her to know Lucas's identity.
Emily actually knew.
But it wasn't Robert who said it, it was a colleague who told her privately.
At that time, a group of people came to the hospital. They looked no different from other doctors and nurses in the hospital, but their names were not in the hospital system. The attending doctor was not in office, and the nurse was only responsible for that patient. At most, they could help when other patients came to them.
The superiors specifically instructed that no private discussions or inquiries were allowed, but the more they did so, the more curious the colleagues became.
Among them was a colleague in the psychiatry department who recognized the identity of the attending physician, Richard Brown, who was once an associate professor at a university medical school and a famous doctor who studied psychology.
But his name tag said Lucas Garcia.
Over the past five or six years, her colleagues have been fired or resigned one after another. If it weren't for her relationship with Robert, she might have left Keller Hospital long ago.
"Richard Brown?" Wen Liang wrote down the name.
At that time, Lucas was a neurologist, and her attention had always been on neurology. She didn't expect that he was a psychologist.
This further proves that Wen Liang was not injured at all at that time, and the so-called treatment was more likely to consolidate the effect of hypnosis.
As she slowly "recovered," it became more difficult for her to recall that memory.
However, even if he was a psychologist, Wen Liang had recognized that he did not work in the KL Group Hospital.
"Yes..." Emily responded. "At the time, a colleague suspected that they were conducting human experiments. I asked Robert out of curiosity, but he told me not to meddle. However, he was very excited at that time. It seemed that he had received accurate information from somewhere. As long as he handled this matter well, he could get a promotion..."
Robert became the dean at that age and thought he would stay in the position until retirement. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events, and he valued this opportunity very much!
"What do you know about Richard Brown?"
"Rarely... That was the first time I heard the name."
"As the person in charge of the pharmacy, you should be able to see the drug consumption list, right? Do you know what type of drugs Lucas took when treating that patient?"
Emily thought to herself that Wen Liang had hit the nail on the head. "...most of them are psychotropic drugs."
The psychiatric drugs were consumed too quickly, and Emily inevitably noticed something was wrong. When she was about to ask someone, Robert contacted her in advance and asked her to pretend that she knew nothing and to fully meet Lucas's needs.
Probably only she and other pharmacy staff knew about this doubt.
Wen Liang gave me an expression that I guessed was correct. "Do you remember the names of those psychotropic drugs?"
Emily thought about it carefully and listed three medicine names.
"Any other news? Like about the patient being cared for solitary confinement?"
Emily remembers it clearly: "...it was an Asian woman...A colleague saw that particular patient was pregnant when she was taken out of the car, but when they saw her again later, her belly had deflated, as if nothing had happened."
As she spoke, Emily glanced at Wen Liang and felt that she looked a little familiar. Her eyes wandered over Wen Liang's cool and delicate features.
Asian women.
A straight nose, delicate almond-shaped eyes, and especially a slightly pursed lip line that gives off a sense of distance...
In a flash, a pale, distraught face suddenly popped into her mind!
"Ah!" Emily took a short breath and took a half step back involuntarily. Her eyes widened instantly and were filled with disbelief and astonishment. "You...you..."
Her finger trembled slightly as she pointed at Wen Liang, "That patient... is... you?!"
Wen Liang stayed in Keller Hospital for more than a month. In the early stage, she had a "broken leg" and a serious head injury, so she had to stay in the ward. Later, she recovered a lot and often sat in a wheelchair and let the nurse push her for a walk outside.
She still remembers that many medical staff had very subtle expressions when they saw her, but her mind was not clear at the time and she did not think much about it. She just thought it was because she was a foreigner.
Wen Liang's expression didn't change at all. "It seems your memory isn't too bad, Ms. Emily. Since you recognized it, it saves me a lot of trouble."
"I was indeed pregnant at the time, but the baby was taken away. Do you know who the obstetrician and gynecologist was who delivered me?"
Emily came back to her senses after being stunned. "I don't know. That patient...your condition has always been under Lucas's care. Doctors in the hospital are not allowed to contact him. I haven't heard any colleagues mention it either. It shouldn't be a doctor from our hospital...If it was, I wouldn't have heard of it, and my colleagues would have asked that doctor about it."
Wen Liang nodded, having guessed the result. "A few days ago, I went to Keller Hospital to retrieve my medical records, and the staff there said that there was no record of me in the system."
Emily responded directly, "Because your medical records are not entered into the system at all."
This was not a secret, at least it was a tacit understanding among those who knew about it at the time.
All the information about 'Patient Zero' - as they were privately called internally - was in paper records, kept directly by Lucas... no, by Richard Brown himself.
Every time he picked up medicine, he would sign the receipt by hand, or his assistant would come directly with the handwritten form. There was no electronic process at all.
This is completely consistent with Wen Liang's guess and premonition.
She immediately asked, "Where are the paper medical records now? Were they destroyed?"
"They must have been taken away by Richard. Not long after you were discharged from the hospital, they all left, leaving nothing behind."
