Doctor Shui had only worked in the Zhong family hospital for three years. However, he had not seen the legendary heir coming in for treatment or annual check-ups. Still, they knew each other outside of the hospital. In fact, Zhong Feng had been the one to bring him into his current prestigious position.

"Did the young master decide to have a check-up after my pestering?" Doctor Shui asked in good humour when Zhong Feng unceremoniously opened his office door.

Zhong Feng looked at him flatly before stepping in like he owned the place. With this, Hu Lei who was behind him was revealed. Doctor Shui looked on with interest. The cold man was holding the girl's hand in his with obvious possessiveness. Unfortunately, the girl was not familiar in any way. Doctor Shui felt invigorated. It seemed that things were about to get a little more exciting in the Zhong clan.

"Actually, I am the patient." The girl spoke up with a smile.

Doctor Shui was surprised by the response. He had expected her to be shy and quiet, overwhelmed and suppressed by Zhong Feng's aura.

"Then, I am glad. A beautiful patient is better than the ice block." The doctor laughed sneaking a look at the young master.

Zhong Feng looked at him with a scathing eye, causing him to regret his audacious words.

"It seems that you are quite comfortable here. It might be time to lend your free services in the countryside." Zhong Feng spoke casually.

Doctor Shui felt a cold shiver run through his body. If there was anything that this genius doctor hated, it was giving anything, especially his medical services, for free. Simply speaking, he was a true money grubber. It was too ironic that a profiteer like him had gone into the noble path of medicine.

The truth was quite simple. But most people would probably slap him if they found out that the lauded genius doctor had only chosen the career path because of job security. Basically, there would always be sick people. So, his future would always be secure; disease was going nowhere.

"I am just joking. You are naturally my favourite patient." He flattered with an uncomfortable look on his face.

Zhong Feng did not pay attention to him. Instead, he looked at Hu Lei in telepathic inquiry. He wanted to know whether she was alright with this doctor. Though Doctor Shui was a profiteer, he was the only doctor that he trusted completely, especially in this hospital. However, if Hu Lei did not feel comfortable, he would have to think of someone else.

Hu Lei nodded at him sensing his concern. This doctor seemed quite reliable. Moreover, she did not sense any kind of unpleasantness from him.

"Would you like for me to stay?" He then asked out loud, even though he knew her response.

She shook her head and squeezed his hand lightly with her small fingers. He frowned a little, but he did not insist. With one cold and warning look at Doctor Shui, he left the office.

"I am Shui Mu. What's your name?" Doctor Shui asked in a friendly but professional tone.

Hu Lei sat down on the patient consultation chair and responded calmly.

"Is there any specific health issue bothering you?"

The question did not startle Hu Lei, but she did not feel that there was need to give a clear answer, even though there was something bothering her. It was best not to trigger a death flag by talking carelessly and drawing bad karma. If there was a medical problem, it would be discovered naturally.

"There is nothing special. I have had a couple of difficult years, so I just want to make sure that everything is alright." Her voice had no unnatural inflection.

Doctor Shui could guess that there was more to the summarised story. If it was a random person, he would lecture them about being honest with the doctor. However, this was a person brought in by the mighty Zhong Feng. Moreover, it looked like he indulged her. Her unhappiness could mean charity work for him.

No, he would not allow that to happen.

"Which specific tests would you like done?" He asked.

"The basic tests will be fine." She really did not have any preference.

Before he could respond, his phone vibrated. He checked the message and cursed lightly in his heart. It was Zhong Feng with a range of instructions and warnings. With a pained look on his face, he turned back to Hu Lei.

"It is better if we perform the full range of medical tests since you are already here." He spoke, bowing to the one with power.

Hu Lei could guess what had transpired. But she still nodded. There was no harm in learning the truth about her true body's condition. Ignorance was not necessarily bliss. Plus, she did not like the constant look of worry in Zhong Feng's eyes. Her heart softened as she thought of him.

"I hope you understand that you will need to answer some difficult questions if we are to get to the bottom of any potential problem." Doctor Shui warned sternly, committed to doing his job well.

She nodded once again.

"Let us begin with your eye colour. How did this happen?" He asked.

The unusual yellow irises had bothered him since she had come into the room. Though it was not impossible for a person to have yellowish hazel eyes, the hue of her eyes was not one found in humans.

Hu Lei felt surprised. She had thought that he would assume that she was wearing contact lens. The only reason she had not felt self-conscious about her strange eyes was because she knew that no one would assume that they were her real irises.

"A doctor changed my eye colour through various means. But I am not sure about the method." This was the truth.

Doctor Shui became a little tense at the calm words. He knew that it was not his place to judge. However, as a person and a doctor, he was not a proponent of cosmetic procedures such as this, especially when they involved essential and functional body parts.

"Have you experienced any trouble since the change?" These types of processes almost always had adverse side effects.

"Apart from a little photophobia, there is nothing else unusual from my original eyes." Her response was still calm.

The consultation continued with more questions. But Hu Lei could only give vague responses when faced with these queries. She could hardly explain anything about her body because she really did not know. More importantly, she did not want anything about her past to come to light.
