Chapter 486: Chapter 486: The Old Lady Making Trouble
The next day.
Just as Qiao Yin and her grandmother arrived at the medical clinic, they encountered trouble once again.
The troublemaker was an old woman appearing to be in her sixties or seventies. She was sitting at the entrance of the clinic, crying and causing a scene, accusing Qiao Yin’s clinic of causing the death of her son.
At first, Qiao Yin patiently tried to persuade her to leave, but the old lady turned a deaf ear to her words. Not only did she become more abusive in her language, but she also started throwing stones at Qiao Yin from her pocket.
Seeing that her rant was attracting a growing crowd of spectators, Qiao Yin stopped talking to her and directly called the police.
Finally, the old lady was taken away by the police, and the clinic resumed its tranquillity.
However, the good reputation of the clinic suffered even more.
Looking at the deserted clinic and her grandmother’s furrowed brows, Qiao Yin felt a twinge of guilt.
The sudden appearance of the old lady causing trouble might have been a result of manipulation by others.
The culprits could have been either Madame Lu or Lan Yuyi.
Enemies she created were causing trouble to her grandmother, resulting in a lack of patients for her.
By noon, the police responded to Qiao Yin.
The old woman indeed had a son, but he was not dead, instead, he was bedridden for many years.
She had previously caused a ruckus at hospitals and other clinics before, but due to her advanced age and mental issues, she was always let go in the end.
This time was no exception, the police intended to let her go again.
Otherwise, her paralyzed son would lack someone to take care of him.
Qiao Yin felt frustrated but there was nothing she could do about it. If the police wanted to release her, she couldn’t stop them.
However, the next day, the old woman came back, repeating her same routine of crying and causing a scene, accusing the clinic of causing her son’s death, and cursing Qiao Yin as a quack.
This time, Qiao Yin didn’t bother talking to her and directly called the police again.
The old lady was escorted away again.
On the third day, she came again.
Just as Qiao Yin was about to call the police, her grandmother stopped her.
“Yinyin, let her in.”
Qiao Yin was shocked: “Grandma, the police said she has mental problems. If we let her in, she might become more violent. We can’t let her in!”
“I know, I heard your phone call with the police. But precisely because she has a mental disorder, we should bring her in and treat her. Let’s see if we can cure her.”
Qiao Yin looked at her with a complicated expression: “Grandma, some people we can save, but some aren’t worth saving.”
She would never forget how her mother died.
Saving a bad person is equivalent to harming countless good people.
“Perhaps, she is a person worth saving? She is being delusional, thinking we caused her son’s paralysis; hence, causing a scene here. If her mind is clear, she might not come here and make a fuss. By treating her, we are helping not only her but ourselves as well.”
Qiao Yin couldn’t help but turn to look at the entrance of the clinic.
Outside the glass door, the old woman was neatly dressed with her silver hair combed neatly into a bun at the back of her head.
If it wasn’t for the police telling her that the lady has mental issues, she might even think her to be a completely normal person.
Qiao Yin looked at her, in silence for a long time.
Then, finally, she opened the door and said to the old woman, “You come in. I’ll help you with your illness, I can also help treat your son’s condition. But you can’t come here and cause a scene anymore. Do you understand?”
But the old woman wasn’t listening at all. She kept cursing loudly, “It’s all your fault! You killed my son! You brought disaster to my family! You’re all beasts! Beasts! Give me back my son’s life! Or else I’ll make you all pay with your lives! I will kill you all!”
Qiao Yin raised her voice, “Old lady, your son is not dead. He is still alive!”
The old woman’s curses abruptly stopped. She looked at Qiao Yin in shock, her mouth wide open, speechless for a long while.
Seizing the opportunity, Qiao Yin pulled her into the clinic.
