Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 143

Zoe gestured politely. "Please, take a seat. What seems to be the problem?"

"I'm itchy down there, and there's too much discharge. Dr. Reed said it might be cervical inflammation from an old pregnancy, so take a look."

Zoe asked Brenda to lie back behind the privacy curtain.

Once Brenda was positioned, Zoe asked her to relax and used a speculum to conduct a thorough exam.

"Why do you still have an IUD in place?" Zoe asked.

"That old thing? Put it in when I was young."

"Why did you need an IUD?"

Nowadays, the country actively encouraged having kids; there was no need for such extreme long-term measures.

Brenda sighed defensively. "Ugh, my man didn't like using protection, and we already had two kids, so I had to be the one to do it."

Zoe frowned slightly. "Having an IUD inside your body for this long will cause chronic inflammation."

"Then take it out for me."

"I can't take it out right now. It's become embedded in your tissue."

"So how do we get it out?"

"It has to be removed under an ultrasound guide, and it's going to be very painful."

Brenda instantly lost her temper. "Then I'm not doing it! You young doctors don't have a lick of experience. You probably haven't even had a boyfriend, yet you want me to pay for an ultrasound. You're just trying to scam me out of my money!"

Zoe was left speechless.

Brenda yanked her pants up and stormed out, cursing the whole way.

Zoe sighed, frustrated.

Whatever. She wouldn't even bother charging her the consultation fee.

As soon as Brenda stepped out, she bumped into Melanie Quinn.

Always hungry for gossip, Brenda noticed Melanie's miserable expression and immediately asked, "Hey, aren't you the one who sells coconut water by the pier? Why are you at the hospital?"
