Chapter 126 Gwendolyn soothed, "Don't worry, just extend your right hand." In Western medicine, there wasn't much about reading pulses like in Eastern traditions, but the notion of right and left could sometimes hint at various conditions. From the patient's description, it seemed like a digestive issue.

"Gastritis, nothing serious," Gwendolyn said, looking at Aiken. "Take a look for me, will you? See if I'm right." Aiken nodded and briefly checked the patient's vitals.

"Indeed, it's gastritis. I'll write you a prescription, take it for three months, and watch your diet. Adding sacupuncture to the treatment might speed up your recovery." "We'll take the acupuncture!" The patient Bill Jones exclaimed, nervously clutching the small camera pinned to his shirt.

"Alright then, Gwendolyn, could you set it up?" Aiken whispered.

"Of course." As Aiken observed, Gwendolyn got everything ready, double-checked the prescription with him for a signature, and then started Bill's acupuncture session.

Suddenly, the clinic's phone rang. It was the nurse's station on the line.

Aiken set the prescription aside and picked up the phone, "Hello?" "Dr. Yates, your family called to say your son's been in a car accident! Your cell's off, they couldn't reach you!" "What? Is he in the emergency room? I'm on my way!" Frantic, Aiken dashed out of the clinic.

Once Gwendolyn finished with Bill's acupuncture, she told him to wait, "I'll go get Dr. Yates to sign off on this. Just a moment." No sooner had she left than Bill and his wife quickly gathered their things, grabbed the unsigned prescription from the desk, and made a beeline for the door.

Halfway to finding Aiken, Gwendolyn bumped into him returning. "Dr. Yates, how's your family?" Aiken, livid, replied, "It was a prank call, they got the wrong person." "Glad to hear there's no trouble." When they got back to the clinic, Bill was nowhere to be seen.

After searching fruitlessly for the prescription, Gwendolyn remarked, "That prescription 1/2 12:47 hadn't been signed yet.

"Most pharmacies won't dispense medication without a signature. It shouldn't be a big deal.

Aiken, seasoned in his medical career, had seen all sorts of situations. Patients were usually cooperative, and a mild condition like gastritis wasn't likely to cause any major Issues.

Gwendolyn nodded, yet couldn't shake an uneasy feeling.

At the end of the shift.

Sandra from the nurse's station handed Gwendolyn a form.

"Dr. Quigley, your full-tstatus will be official next month, and you'll start night shifts. Make sure you fill this out completely, especially the emergency contact section," Sandra leaned in, watching her write.

"Ooh, putting down your hubby, huh?" she teased.

Gwendolyn awkwardly shielded the form, "My family isn't in Bayridge City. He's all I've got." "Aw, flaunting your love life, I see. Don't forget to set up your phone for night shifts, and be safe going home," Sandra reminded her. "But look, your man's here to pick you up again. You better hurry!" Gwendolyn curled her lips slightly, "I'm off then.” She packed up her things and headed out of the hospital.

Sure, there was the familiar car, with Cliff opening the door for her.

Upon seeing the man inside, Gwendolyn greeted, "Mr. Chadwick."

She pulled out her phone, opened the settings, and immediately added him as the emergency contact.

This way, she could quickly dial out. She tested pressing the power button several times and Howard's phone on the other side buzzed insistently. On the screen flashed "Honey Sweetness filled Gwendolyn's heart.

Howard looked at her, puzzled, "What's this about?"

"I'm setting up my emergency contact. Mr. Chadwick, who's your emergency contact?" Gwendolyn asked curiously. She wanted to know who he'd think of first.
