"Fali, I didn't expect you to be so good." Chen Zhao looked at the large plate of cobb salad that Fali had brought over.
Cobb salad was different from the European ones that only consisted of vegetables and fruits. Cobb salad was unique to California. There were fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as meat.
However, after careful mixing and dipping, it presented a unique delicacy.
As a Chinese, most of the time, he looked at foreign food with a condescending gaze.
Using a famous line from a movie, I'm not targeting anyone, but I'm saying that everyone here is trash.
After truly experiencing the food culture of other countries, he would realize that foreign food wasn't as poor as everyone thought.
Chen Zhao had never liked salads, mainly because they were too vegetarian. He was a carnivore.
This cobb salad had the perfect combination of meat and vegetables. It had the chewiness and satisfaction of meat, as well as the freshness of fruits and vegetables. With all kinds of dipping sauces, it could satisfy most people's taste needs.
"The combination of Cobb salad is actually very simple. You can learn it after watching it once or twice, and it's not very fixed. The main thing is the dipping sauce and condiments. This is a family heirloom. Try this blueberry dipping sauce."
"Yeah, it's sweet and sour. It's delicious." Chen Zhao picked up a piece of chicken and dipped it in blueberry dipping sauce.
Chen Zhao wasn't a gourmet, so he couldn't use fancy adjectives to describe it. He just felt that it was delicious.
Coupled with iced beer, even in this December season, it was still a top-notch enjoyment.
The temperature had been dropping rapidly recently. At night, it would drop below ten degrees.
The temperature difference between the four seasons in L.A. wasn't huge, but the temperature difference in one day was huge.
It would be lower in the morning and at night. At noon, it might be in the 20s.
Just then, Chen Zhao's phone rang. He had been eating the whole time, so he ignored the ringtone.
Fali glanced at him. He didn't really want to pick it up.
However, the phone kept ringing. Chen Zhao said helplessly. He'd already seen the caller ID. It was Dell.
"I hope it's not work." Chen Zhao picked up. "Hello."
"Chen, hurry … Please, hurry." It was Tsura's choked sobs.
"Tsura? What's wrong? What happened? "
"It's Dell, he's in trouble. Come quickly, please, hurry."
"Alright, I'm coming."
Tsura's voice was very urgent, and she was still sobbing. It was obvious that Dell's condition was very serious.
No matter how unwilling Chen Zhao was, he couldn't keep delaying.
"Are you going to work?"
"Well, can you give me a ride? My patient is in a critical condition."
"Alright, let me wash my hands first," Fali agreed quickly.
Fali watched as Chen Zhao brought the kids into the car.
"Chen, why do you have to bring them when you're treating patients?"
"There's no one at home. I'm worried," Chen Zhao said casually. "Drive faster. I'm worried about the patient's safety."
At this moment, the phone rang again, but it wasn't Tsura. The caller ID showed that it was David.
"Hey, David."
"Chen, I found the person you're looking for."
"The person I'm looking for? Oh … are you talking about Chris? "
"Yes, she is with me now. She seems to be in big trouble."
"I'm busy right now. A patient's life is in danger. I have to rush over."
"When are you coming back?"
"I'm not sure. How's Chris doing?"
"She's pretty stable, but I feel like she's pretending to be calm. I think she's really scared."
"Where's Sienna? Is Sienna there? You can ask her for help. "
"Sienna doesn't know what to do either."
"I see … Bring her to my house first. Wait for me to come back," Chen Zhao said. "Fali isn't home right now. She'll drive me to the patient's house. The key is hidden under the carpet at the door."
"Okay, Sienna and I will bring Chris to your house first."
After hanging up, Fali asked, "What's wrong? Did David call? "
"Yes."
"What happened?"
"A friend of mine is in some trouble."
"Trouble?"
"I'm not sure how troublesome it is right now."
Thirty minutes later, Chen Zhao and Fali finally arrived at Dell's house.
"Tsura, I'm at the door." Chen Zhao called Tsura again.
Fali looked at the door. "Is your patient very rich?"
"Very," Chen Zhao answered succinctly.
"No wonder you're in such a hurry."
Chen Zhao pursed his lips. He didn't deny that this was part of the reason.
Dell paid him $3,000 each time. It wasn't a small amount.
Out of all the customers he knew, there weren't many that were this generous.
A while later, Tsura came out anxiously.
The light at the door was dim. Chen Zhao could still see the tear stains on Tsura's face.
"Chen, you're finally here." Tsura gave Chen Zhao a hug excitedly.
"Okay, let's go in. Tell me what's going on with Dell."
"I … I was on the bed with him … Um … He suddenly started convulsing."
"Are you guys doing it?" Chen Zhao asked.
Tsura glanced at Fali and then at Chen Zhao. Gritting her teeth, she said, "We're doing something special."
"What's special?"
Dell told me to shock him with a low-powered defibrillator. "
If there was a death-seeking competition in this world, Chen Zhao didn't doubt that Dell would definitely win.
Chen Zhao sped up and continued asking, "Is he awake or unconscious?"
Chen Zhao was afraid that Dell would faint or even die from a cardiac arrest.
After all, more than half an hour had passed. If Dell had a cardiac arrest and hadn't received emergency treatment until now, he might already be dead.
If Dell died, even a god wouldn't be able to save him.
"He's awake, but his body keeps convulsing."
When they reached Dell and Tsura's bedroom, Chen Zhao could hear Dell's pained voice from outside.
"Fali, stay at the door."
"Don't worry. I do emergency treatment too. I've seen all kinds of situations." Fali didn't mind.
"Okay then."
Entering the room, Chen Zhao saw whips, ropes, and some sex toys.
"Turn on the light." The room was dim.
Chen Zhao walked over. Pressing down on the convulsing Dell, he started examining him.
As long as a person wasn't dead and had a cardiac arrest, that was the luckiest thing.
