Victoria Peak, also known as Flag Hill, dominates the northwest of Hong Kong Island and is its highest point. From the summit, one can overlook Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong Island, and both sides of the Kowloon Peninsula. At night, gazing from Victoria Peak, illuminated by a myriad of lights, Hong Kong Island and Kowloon appear like two pearls nestled in Victoria Harbour, each radiating its own beauty.
Victoria Peak is said to be located on the dragon vein of Hong Kong Island, and its summit is considered a peak of good fortune. Therefore, officials and celebrities are eager to purchase property and land there, building official residences. However, due to the limited land area at the summit, every inch of it is valuable. Even a modest house can easily cost hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Despite this, demand still outstrips supply, and many celebrities and wealthy individuals queue up to purchase luxury homes on the Peak.
On Taiping Mountain, there is one of the most beautiful private hospitals in the world - St. Vlad's Hospital. It is a three-story white castle-shaped building standing in a prime location on the top of the mountain.
St. Vlad's Hospital boasts not only beautiful scenery but also world-class medical care. Many wealthy residents of the luxury residential district of Victoria Peak choose St. Vlad's Hospital for medical treatment and recuperation. While providing medical services to the wealthy, St. Vlad's Hospital also serves as a charitable hospital, offering free medical care to low-income individuals. Its high-quality medical care, meticulous and comprehensive services, and equal treatment for all patients have earned it a strong reputation in Hong Kong Island.
After Hong Kong's return to China, many mainland residents chose to visit St. Vlad's Hospital for advanced treatments and services. Over 100,000 mainland Chinese babies have been born there, and many more receive advanced antiviral vaccinations. As a result, St. Vlad's Hospital is highly regarded in China, rivaling leading hospitals like the Capital Medical University and Harbin Medical University.
A black Mercedes stopped at the entrance of St. Vlad's Hospital. The driver got out of the car, respectfully opened the door, and helped out an old man wearing a white Chinese-style stand-up collar and buttoned-down shirt.
The old man has gray hair, a ruddy complexion, and is in good spirits. He has two black, sharp eyebrows and a pair of bright eyes. Judging from his appearance, he is a man of decisive character and quick actions.
Zhan Feng got out of the car from the other side, took two quick steps, supported Zhan Kunpeng, and walked into the gate of St. Vlad's Hospital.
Zhan Kunpeng's villa is right on the top of Victoria Peak. He usually receives medical care at St. Vlad's Hospital. He came here today to get the flu vaccine.
Zhan Feng supported Zhan Kunpeng as they walked to the door of a clinic on the second floor. After taking the Peiyuan Pill given by Qingshan, Zhan Kunpeng's injured leg no longer hurt, and he moved more swiftly than before, even without a cane. However, he was still a little unaccustomed to not using this thing he had been carrying for decades, so he continued to carry it in his hand. The handle of the golden nan wood cane was already patinated.
Zhan Feng knocked on the door, and after hearing the call to come in, he helped Zhan Kunpeng into the clinic. The clinic was divided into two parts, the left side was the injection area, and the right side was a doctor's desk and chair, separated by a medical screen in the middle.
Sitting behind the desk was a handsome foreign doctor who was under 40 years old, with blond hair and blue eyes. When he saw Zhan Feng and Zhan Kunpeng come in, he stood up and shook hands with Zhan Kunpeng enthusiastically.
"Hello, Mr. Zhan!" The foreign doctor has lived in Hong Kong Island for many years and speaks Cantonese as well as a native Hong Konger.
"Haha, Dr. White, long time no see!"
The foreign doctor is called Seri White, the director of St. Vlad's Hospital.
"Yes, Zhansheng, we haven't seen each other for almost four months. You look very good! It seems that your old injury has improved a lot. I'm so happy for you!"
Zhan Kunpeng looked very proud: "Haha, yes, I used to come to you for physical therapy and painkillers every week, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't need them anymore in the future!"
Dr. White smiled warmly and nodded: "Zhansheng, congratulations on your recovery! May God bless you!"
As he spoke, Serri made the sign of the cross on his chest. He was a devout Catholic.
"Dr. White, I'm here with you today to get a flu shot."
Serri motioned Zhan Kunpeng and Zhan Feng to sit down, then pulled out Zhan Kunpeng's medical records from the computer, carefully checked the time of his last vaccination, then nodded and said to Zhan Kunpeng:
"Zhansheng, it's time for you to get your flu shot. I'll give you the shot now."
Serri signaled Zhan Feng to help Zhan Kunpeng lie down on the injection area and disinfect his blood vessels and skin. He repeatedly disinfected his hands, put on gloves, took out a blue needle, and slowly injected it into Zhan Kunpeng's body.
"Dr. White, I remember last year's vaccine was transparent?"
Serri pulled out the syringe, pressed on Zhan Kunpeng to stop the bleeding, and explained to Zhan Feng:
"Afeng, the flu virus mutates every year, so the vaccine also changes and will never be the same as before."
Zhan Feng suddenly realized that this was the case.
After the vaccination, Zhan Feng helped Zhan Kunpeng leave. Seri disinfected his hands repeatedly, then locked the door, checked that there was no one around, and walked towards the elevator at the end of the corridor.
The elevator was small, with a sign saying "Under Maintenance." Serri placed his thumb on the door-opening button. A red light scanned the door, and a combination lock clicked open. He punched in a few numbers, and the doors swung open. Serri glanced around, then stepped inside and closed the door. As the door closed, the combination lock was sealed again by a piece of metal, seamlessly integrated with the elevator's on/off button.
Shortly after Serri disappeared into the elevator, a hospital cleaner came to the elevator with a mop and started cleaning.
