Kevin left the hospital room after speaking.
Bradley took a deep breath, holding back the urge to punch Kevin.
As Kevin exited, the doctor felt an unexpected pang of envy. Although Kevin was no longer the hospital director, the doctor continued to receive Bradley's salary. He felt trapped.
"Mr. Warner, you have gastric bleeding and require hospital treatment. Please cooperate."
Bradley gazed at the doctor momentarily, then replied, "It seems like there's something wrong with my heart."
Upon hearing that, the doctor swiftly reviewed Bradley's medical records. "Mr. Warner, according to your cardiac ultrasound, there is nothing wrong with your heart."
"My heart sometimes beats very fast and starts to hurt, making it hard to breathe."
The doctor used his stethoscope to listen to Bradley's heart, looking puzzled. Bradley's electrocardiogram readings were normal.
"Can you tell me when or in what situations you feel your heart acting up?"
Bradley gently touched his chest, feeling his heart beating beneath. He pondered the doctor's question, attempting to uncover why his heart was suddenly behaving this way.
The doctor pressed on, "When did you first notice an issue with your heart?"
"Nine months ago."
Bradley had first noticed something wrong with his heart nine months ago when Esther was in the ICU, teetering on the brink of death.
"Where and when? In the ICU ward."
