"Mr. Adams, you really don't need to worry, leave the professional matters to the professionals." Dr. Li didn't want to get entangled with him anymore.

Mrs. Adams also constantly shot him glances, urging him not to dwell further. This was no longer normal patient-doctor communication but a form of entanglement that would waste a lot of the doctor's time.
