The first person I contacted was Sister Su, asking her to find a reliable doctor. Sister Su had been mixing it up in Cantonese Circle much longer than me, knowing people in all circles.
No sooner had I finished speaking on the phone than she told me that she had worked with a doctor before and owed him a favor, assuring me the man was dependable and asking me to wait at home while she brought him over.
Her words eased my anxiety a notch, and since Sister Su frequented the villa, even bringing someone along shouldn't raise too much suspicion.
In no more than an hour, Sister Su hurried over, accompanied by a middle-aged man with a scholarly appearance, sporting glasses.
This had to be the doctor Sister Su found. After I briefly explained the situation, the man nodded and followed me upstairs.
The doctor examined the wound and took a temperature, "It's an infection from the wound that's causing the fever. We need to start an infusion soon—go get some medicine ready."
