Elena and Zhou Qiao were preparing to push the mother to the ward on the second floor. After all, this is a treatment room. Temporary delivery is possible, but it is not convenient for the mother to rest.
Iris Clinic has an elevator, and it is a standard medical elevator, which is wider than an ordinary home elevator. However, the third floor is the living area. In order to protect privacy, the elevator only goes to the second floor. Zhou Qiao and the others usually take the stairs, and they don't have many steps anyway.
However, now, the woman has to be pushed on the hospital bed and go up via the elevator. The main thing is that the other party is too fat. Even if the unloading is successful, the remaining weight is still estimated to be more than 300 pounds, and Zhou Qiao cannot hold it at all!
Besides, now that I have a little money, I don’t have to save on elevator fees.
Although the more than 100,000 US dollars received from Luo Ya was not on the table, fortunately the amount was not particularly large and it was all in cash. It did not affect daily supermarket shopping, living expenses, food, drink, entertainment, etc.
In addition, Elena and Ava's bonuses can be paid out of this money, and there is no need to keep accounts. In other words, the apparent bonus has been cancelled, and the reason is very legitimate. Compared with Auntie's lifetime, the clinic's performance has declined significantly, and the "performance part" of employee compensation will naturally be reduced.
Elena and Ava are their own people, so they don't care whether the salary income on the books has dropped. Anyway, the actual money received is far more than before. The salary on the books is lower, and you can pay less tax.
Daily expenses are "saved" and performance pay is reduced, so the clinic's profits can be accumulated even more!
Of course, if there is too much "cash", you may have to find a way to "convert" it. Zhou Qiao believes that there must be a large number of ways on Eighteenth Street that can be easily accomplished.
After all, there are many "serious businesses" on the surface, and it doesn't matter whether these businesses make money or not.
Just like there are some strange shops in China, such as clothing stores under overpasses, in remote locations, or some laundries and grocery stores, which have not seen many customers come to the door in a year, but they have been open for decades!
After finishing the work, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Elena originally took the medical record and wanted to ask for the mother's information, such as her name, social security number, etc., but when she came in, she found that the mother was already snoring slightly and sleeping soundly.
Elena smiled slightly, tucked the mother in, and turned on the air conditioner a little higher to avoid catching a cold, and then left. As for the baby, he was placed on a hospital bed nearby and slept very soundly.
There are fences around the bed to protect the baby from falling, and the baby has just been born and can’t turn over yet.
The next day, early in the morning, Elena and Ava came to visit the mother and baby. However, to their surprise, the baby was there, but the mother was missing!
"She should have gone to the bathroom..." Ava was suspicious. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a small note on the bedside and quickly picked it up to read.
Elena also came over and saw that it read: "Thank you very much! But I have no money and I don't want children. I left. I'm sorry!"
Elena: "..."
Ava: "..."
The beautiful twins looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. It didn't matter that they ran away without paying, and the clinic didn't suffer much loss. The main thing was that they couldn't keep such a small newborn baby, right?
No matter how much time I have to take care of the baby, I am still a "baby".
When the baby heard the noise, she started crying. Ava quickly picked her up and sang children's songs to coax her.
Elena said: "She may be hungry, I'll get a bottle of milk."
They had never taken care of a child before, and now that the child's mother was away, they had no breast milk at all, so they had to use milk instead. Since they didn't have a bottle, they fed the child little by little with a small spoon.
After finally coaxing the little guy to sleep, Elena and Ava quickly took the note to find Zhou Qiao.
They came to the bathroom on the third floor. Zhou Qiao had just gotten up and was washing up inside. They started chattering about the matter!
Zhou Qiao was stunned after hearing this. He didn't even brush his teeth properly. He rinsed his mouth in a hurry and said, "It's better to call the police and leave it to the police to deal with it."
No matter where they are sent, whether to an orphanage or a charity center, he believes that the police will handle it properly.
Ava went to make a call. Less than half an hour later, three police officers came over, including a female police officer. It's probably because the baby is involved, so let the policewoman come over so it's easier to coax the baby.
After questioning in the clinic, Zhou Qiao and the others certainly had something to say, and there was nothing to hide.
The police said they would take away the child and thanked Zhou Qiao and others for their cooperation.
While he was talking, the elderly Cathy came to the door. Seeing this, she couldn't help but be startled.
"Good morning, little Ava, what's going on today? Why did the police come to the door?" Cathy asked Ava very curiously.
As soon as Ava told her what had happened, Cathy's wrinkled face suddenly became radiant, as if she had suddenly become several years younger!
She came to the police, stopped them as they were about to leave, and said, "Mr. Police Officer, my pension is actually quite generous."
The policeman was confused, and the leader asked: "Madam, do you need any help? You can tell us directly." He said in his heart, "Your pension is rich, what does it have to do with us?" Is this to show off your wealth?
Cathy pointed to the child in the policewoman's arms and said, "I want this baby! My pension is very generous, and I have the financial ability to adopt her!"
The policeman looked at her for a few times and then hesitated: "But, your age..."
Cathy immediately became energetic and said: "Although I am a bit old, I am in good health. I had a physical examination here a few days ago and there are almost no serious illnesses. If you don't believe it, you can ask Dr. Zhou!"
The policeman looked at Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao nodded and said, "Cathy is indeed in very good health and is considered outstanding among her peers." Although the other party had a cold last time, it was just a minor illness. Besides, who hasn’t had a cold yet?
Cathy begged very sincerely: "Mr. Police Officer, can you give me a chance? I really want that baby so much!"
The three police officers looked at each other. The female police officer pondered for a moment and suggested: "How about taking this lady back to the police station, registering the detailed information, and asking the boss for instructions."
Cathy quickly said that she could go with her. Anyway, she would have to go there to register and go through adoption procedures.
The police took her and the baby away from the Iris Clinic.
Zhou Qiao, Elena, and Ava were filled with sadness.
Ava said: "Cathy has always wanted to adopt a child, but she was hesitant. Unexpectedly, she came across this opportunity this time and finally bravely took that step!"
Elena said: "But she is older after all. Although her economic conditions are better, she can give her baby a better living condition. But..."
