It's another year of Thanksgiving.

Although Elena and Ava have moved to a new house, they still chose to spend this year's Thanksgiving on the third floor of the Iris Clinic.

Because they used to spend Thanksgiving here every year, and there was a room on the third floor where Anna's spiritual seat was placed.

Here, there is a feeling of family reunion.

Zhou Qiao burned some paper for her aunt as usual and replaced it with a fresh tribute.

The facilities on the third floor, including kitchenware, are as old as before. Only some necessary clothes, toys, etc. were taken away. Because they usually work in the clinic, they can still come up and sleep during the lunch break.

All the furniture in the new house, including the sheets and duvet covers, is all new.

Turkey is still the staple, the super-large one, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, is placed in the center of the table, surrounded by a variety of other delicacies, such as grilled steak, grilled oysters, salt-baked king crab, salmon, tuna, arctic ice shrimp......

Roasted pumpkin, roasted corn, sweet potato, vegetable salad, pillow bun, apple, orange, strawberry, cherry, kiwi, watermelon, grape, nuts......

Don't say if you can finish eating, anyway, it has a special sense of ceremony.

Moreover, the hearty food can be eaten whatever you want, giving people a sense of security.

Zhou Qiao: They don't usually drink alcohol, but on this kind of grand festival, the clinic is also closed, so you can drink a few glasses of high-end wine to adjust the atmosphere.

Zhou Qiao is rich now, and the wine of a few hundred dollars is naturally not eye-catching, and he doesn't drink it often, so the bottle of wine he opened today is more than 50,000 US dollars.

Although these dishes are sumptuous, the most valuable thing is the bottle of wine.

Grape wine luminous glass, want to drink pipa immediately urge.

"Zhou Jun, get on the horse ......"

Elena lay on the sofa and learned the tone of Nanako Chiba and called softly.

Where can I endure this?

Then I didn't eat dinner, I ate the beauty first.

Soon, Ava joined the warband.

For this large table, they only dried up king crab, salmon, tuna and arctic ice shrimp for the night. Then there were a few fruits, and nothing else moved.

Even the snowflake steak is not fragrant.

After coming to the United States, steak is the staple food that Zhou Qiao eats the most, and it is no longer so attractive to him.

That night, the three did not go back and stayed on the third floor of the clinic.

There are wonderful memories of them here, and every time they are here, it is especially exciting.

Zhou Qiao's happy life started here, and so did the twin sisters.

In the afternoon of the second day, the Iris Clinic welcomed three very special guests.

"Oh, dear Dr. Zhou, I haven't seen you for two years, you are younger and more handsome than before!"

"It's more famous!"

Tracy McKina, a well-known Texas author, brought her husband Kevin Nix and two-year-old baby Jenny Nix to visit.

Their family was the one who sold the town to Loya.

Mayor Kevin is no longer the mayor now, and after they moved to Houston, Kevin Nix opened a company there, and it's doing well.

And his wife, Tracy McKina, takes care of the baby full-time, writes when she has time, and her life is not too moisturizing.

Living in a big city like Houston is so convenient, whether it's shopping, medical care, or education.

"Oh, the baby is so pretty!" Zhou Qiao picked up little Jenny and kissed it, and then, the little baby was snatched by Elena and Ava and kissed in turn.

Elena and Ava love children, but they don't want to give birth to them.

In their own words, they are still babies, and they hope that Zhou Qiao will spoil them every day.

When you are young, you naturally have to enjoy it a lot, and you will talk about having children later. They are not like Luo Ya, who has so many inheritances waiting for their children to inherit.

"Doctor Zhou, this is for you." Kevin Nix gave Zhou Qiao two bottles of good wine, which looked very high-end.

"Doctor Zhou, I hope you like this book!" Tracy McKina gave Zhou Qiao a set of her latest autographed book.

Tracy's handwriting is very beautiful, it is that kind of artistic style, very elegant, and the words are like his person.

"The gifts are all amazing, thank you." Zhou Qiao brought people into the clinic and drank coffee together in the rest area on the first floor.

"Doctor Zhou, we came here this time mainly to interview you and learn about your past, and then, you know, I have always had a wish to write a biography for you." Tracy McKina shrugged and smiled charmingly.

Actually, she has already written a small part, as far as she knows. Especially, on the night of the hurricane, Zhou Qiao helped her with surgery, and the writing was thrilling, mixed with a lot of her imagination.

Because most of the time, she was in a coma, only to learn from her husband afterwards.

But home, what I'm best at is imagination and artistic processing.

Born from life, but higher than life.

"It's my pleasure!" Zhou Qiao said modestly.

They chatted casually, and Tracy took out a notebook, sometimes asking, sometimes listening, sometimes writing quickly in the notebook, jot down the main points so that she would not forget them afterwards.

Of course, many things can't be explained so quickly, and for some special points, Tracy pays special attention to them, and will ask more detailed questions.

The couple planned to stay here for a week, first, for vacation, and secondly, to have enough time to communicate with Zhou Qiao.

For some privacy, such as how many women Zhou Qiao has soaked himself, Zhou Qiao naturally won't tell the truth stupidly, while Tracy intends to describe it in an ambiguous way.

Even if Zhou Qiao told the truth, Tracy was surprised, and would only write it with beautification.

In her book, Murphy, Stephanie, and Talia will be Zhou Qiao's admirers.

In fact, it is.

Tracy wrote a biography of Zhou Qiao, in addition to thanking Zhou Qiao, he also wanted to publish and sell it for money, and when the time came, he would share this part of the income with Zhou Qiao.

Zhou Qiao is now a little famous in the United States, and if Tracy's biography is published again, Zhou Qiao's fame will be even greater.

It's a win-win thing.

People live in the world, chasing fame and fortune is inevitable, Zhou Qiao thinks to himself is not a saint, although the heart of fame and fortune is not very strong, he will not deliberately chase it, but it is easy to get it, and he will certainly not refuse to send it to the door!

In the evening of the same day, Zhou Qiao was the host and invited the Tracy family to dinner, accompanied by Elena, Ava, Murphy, Stephanie, and Nanako Chiba.

Looking at the stunning beauty of the five countries and cities, Tracy's eyes lit up, how many love stories can be made up, and you can also learn from the palace fighting plots of the eastern powers.

And Kevin Nix didn't dare to glance at these beauties all the time, for fear that his wife would be unhappy.

Zhou Qiao is ashamed of himself, if he changes himself, he has to see enough.

It can only be said that Kevin Nix is an honest man.

……

The cork oak trees in front of the Iris Clinic are once again bearing fruit, and the little squirrels are happy to collect acorns and carry them to their safe nests.

Zhou Qiao estimated that none of the fruits they collected last year had yet to be eaten. Moreover, the winter in San Francisco is not very cold, is it necessary to collect so diligently?

But it's a memory engraved in the squirrels' genes, and it's one of the things they're most happy to do.

A woman in her thirties walked into the door of the Iris Clinic with a little boy of four or five years old in her arms.

"Good morning, dear lady, lovely little darling." Kim Hee Jin greeted the mother and son, smiling and saying hello.

The woman said to Kim Hee Jin with red eyes and a little depressed, "Good morning, Miss Nurse." I made an appointment with Dr. Chow at 9 a.m. ”

"Oh, you're Mrs. O'Connor, aren't you?" Kim Ji is really proficient in business, and she remembers the other party's name without opening the iPad to inquire.

"Yes, yes, my son's condition is a bit serious, and I would like to ask Dr. Zhou to help diagnose it." Mrs. O'Connor said with a heavy heart.

"Okay, Dr. Zhou should be available, but before that, please help fill in the personal information." Kim Hee Jin opened the iPad interface and made an inviting gesture.

"Okay." Mrs. O'Connor nodded slightly, and then followed Kim Hee Jin to the rest area not far away, and spent about three minutes perfecting the registration information.

In this process, she has been reluctant to let go of the child, the child is very curious about the environment of the clinic, especially the children's play area, and the cowhide red war drum at the other end, originally wanted to go down to play, but her mother told him not to move, saying that they are all sick, can't you be well-behaved?

Kim Hee smiled and motioned to the children to be calm.

Jin Ji really noticed that the children wanted to play, but she didn't know what kind of disease the children were suffering from, so she didn't dare to give advice casually.

After filling out the information, Kim Ji really put away the iPad and took O'Connor mother and son to Nanako Chiba's clinic.

Because, Mrs. O'Connor has an appointment, and Zhou Qiao explained in advance that if someone comes, she will bring it to Nanako Chiba.

When making an appointment, I had a general understanding that the other party's condition could be preliminarily attributed to the Department of Internal Medicine.

"Mrs. O'Connor, this is the owner of our clinic, Dr. Zhou." Kim Hee-jin introduced Zhou Qiao to the patient's family.

Zhou Qiao stood up and nodded and smiled: "Good morning, I look forward to helping you, please sit down." ”

Because the other party was holding the child, Zhou Qiao didn't shake hands with the other party.

Nanako Chiba stood behind Zhou Qiao. She was originally sitting on Zhou Qiao's lap, but when she heard the movement, she hurriedly jumped up.

"Ah, hello Dr. Zhou." Mrs. O'Connor's eyes couldn't help but flash a little surprise, and she said that she had heard that Dr. Zhou of the Iris Clinic was young for a long time, but she didn't expect to be so young.

It's like a little brother, did you graduate from college? No, high school graduates?

However, the temperament of a medical expert exuded by Zhou Qiao made her feel slightly at ease.

Mrs. O'Connor sat down with the baby in her arms and said impatiently, "Dr. Zhou, it's like this, my son has seen him in other clinics and hospitals before, some doctors said it might be lupus erythematosus, some doctors said it might be Behcet's disease, and later, someone recommended me to come to the Iris Clinic, and then I came. ”

"Lupus erythematosus? Behcet's disease? Zhou Qiao was shocked, these two diseases belong to the Demon King level.

Nanako Chiba's pretty face is also slightly discolored.

Needless to say, lupus erythematosus caused many people to suffer from this disease, and finally died in endless pain.

Behcet's disease, also known as Behcet's syndrome, is a systemic immune system disease that belongs to a type of vasculitis.

Behcet's disease can invade many organs of the human body, such as the mouth, skin, joints and muscles, eyes, blood vessels, heart, lungs and nervous system, etc., it can be said that as long as you have it, it can be eroded, the main manifestations are ulcers in the oral cavity and hidden parts, rashes, erythema, iritis of the eye, joint swelling and pain, the prognosis is not good, and the severe cases are life-threatening!

"Mrs. O'Connor, don't worry, I'll check it out for the kid." Zhou Qiao saw that the child's mother was so anxious that he couldn't do it, so he hurriedly comforted him.

However, it is possible to suffer from these two diseases, and as a mother, it is indeed understandable to be worried.

Jin Jizhen had also heard of these two diseases, and said that if my child was like this, I would probably cry to death.

"Okay, okay." Mrs. O'Connor nodded.

Zhou Qiao walked over, squatted down, took a closer look at the child, and suddenly relaxed in his heart.

Because, the child is very normal, his mental state is very good, but he is confused, it is estimated that he doesn't know why his mother took him everywhere to see a doctor, and he always cries.

Mrs. O'Connor did not tell the child that he had a very serious illness and that the child was not aware of it.

The child's spirit is very good, but there are indeed some red spots on his body, like butterflies, and like wounds from wolf bites.

Zhou Qiao wore sterile gloves and gently pressed them with his hands, and the child did not show obvious discomfort.

Zhou Qiao asked, "How long have these red spots been on his body?" ”

Mrs. O'Connor said, "About two weeks. At the beginning, I found out that after that, I also took pictures, and now it is much more serious than before. ”

The lady was very attentive and showed Zhou Qiao the previous photos on her phone.

Zhou Qiao compared and looked at it, indeed, the condition progressed very quickly, and it was very serious!

"Doctor Zhou, this red spot behind his ear was taken to the beach to play and pick up shells before, and he suddenly found it, and he thought he was bitten by something, but then there were other places, so he realized that it was not."

Zhou Qiao nodded, then pointed to a scab on the child's waist and asked, "The spot in this place is new, right?" ”

Mrs. O'Connor: "Uh-huh, this one grew later. ”

Zhou Qiao said: "This spot has gone dark. ”

I checked the rest of the child's body, as well as the scalp, and found that the child's scalp was clean.

Mrs. O'Connor added: "He's got new erythema on his body, and the occasional blister or something, and he's so young, could it really be lupus erythematosus or Behcet's disease?" Dr. Chow, I'm really, really worried! ”

Zhou Qiao checked it just now, indeed, as the child's mother said, there are many shocking sores on the child's body, with blisters, interfaces, red, it looks as if that part has been necrotic and needs to be surgically removed, which is very scary.

Those edematous erythema, large can reach the size of a palm, with necrosis and crusting in the center, and the small ones are like an inflammatory papule, large and small, numerous, everywhere, and pleomorphic.

When Zhou Qiao was checked, the child couldn't help but want to scratch, so Zhou Qiao smiled: "Don't pick it, it will make the condition more serious." ”

There is a saying in China that if you buckle into a sore, you will sleep into a disease. There are bacteria on your hands, and scratching can disrupt the integrity of your skin and exacerbate the infection.

The child is very obedient, so he doesn't catch it.

"That's good." Zhou Qiao encouraged, and then said, "You open your mouth, I'll check your mouth." ”

Nanako Chiba hurriedly and gently handed over a medical flashlight.

"Thank you." Zhou Qiao took it and said to the child, "Ah~"

The child followed with an "ah~" action, Zhou Qiao quickly lit up, took a few looks, and saw that his oral mucosa was very clean and there was no ulceration.

Zhou Qiao asked Mrs. O'Connor: "Before he had this disease, did he have mouth ulcers, herpes in his throat or something?" ”

Mrs. O'Connor nodded, "Yes, yes, but now." He had been having severe rhinitis, so his nose was the first to attack, then a mouth ulcer, and then I gave him vitamin B and it got better. I also have the previous oral photos, so wait a minute. ”

Mrs. O'Connor said as she began to rummage through her phone's photo album, because it had been a long time, and there had been a lot of photos recently, so it would take a little time.

Mom looked for photos, the child has been held since he entered the clinic, at this time he really couldn't sit still, began to be naughty, twisted and twisted, and grabbed his mother's hair.

"Be quiet!" Mrs. O'Connor angrily reprimanded, mainly because she had been disturbed looking for a photograph. She was very anxious, hesitant, and helpless, so it was inevitable that her emotions were a little uncontrollable.

And the child is still ignorant.

When the child saw that his mother was angry, he immediately became obedient.

"Doctor Zhou, it's this one, you see, the mouth ulcers were very serious before." Mrs. O'Connor finally found the picture.

Zhou Qiao took a closer look and knew what to expect, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Can I hug the child?" ”

Mrs. O'Connor was stunned for a moment, and said, "If you don't mind...... Uh, absolutely. ”

She originally wanted to say, there are so many red spots on the child's body, Dr. Zhou, aren't you afraid of infectious diseases? But seeing that Zhou Qiao's eyes are clear, his attitude is sincere, and his heart is honest, he is a doctor, and he knows more than me. So I readily agreed.

She is also happy that the child is liked.

Zhou Qiao laughed, hugged the child, and immediately walked outside quickly.

"Ah, Dr. Zhou." Mrs. O'Connor was startled, not knowing what Zhou Qiao was going to do, so she hurriedly followed.

Nanako Chiba and Shinya Kim Hime-jin followed out curiously.

Zhou Qiao came outside, walked around with the child in his arms, and when he saw the child's eyes, he couldn't help but glance at the play area, as well as the big red war drum, and said with a smile: "I knew you wanted to play." Let me tell you, my clinic is very popular with children. Go for it, go play. ”

I put the child down.

The child got Zhou Qiao's promise and immediately ran to the amusement area.

Mrs. O'Connor behind her: "......"

Kim Hee-jin: "......"

Only Nanako Chiba thought a little, and then her eyes couldn't help but light up, and her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Zhou Jun.
