Chapter 100: Cut in Line
When Watson lay on the inpatient bed, he felt that the anesthesia had completely dissipated.
He immediately showed a cheerful look and shouted loudly towards Nero Bacchus who had not yet left:
"Oh my god, I can feel the sensation in my left leg! I can control my toes again!!!"
"Mr. Winfrey's medical skills are simply miraculous! How did you realize that, Nello, hiss--"
Watson seemed to be so happy that he was involved in the wound he had just operated on, with a twisted look of pain on his face.
Nello pretended to be indifferent, "Are you asking me how I met Dean Winfrey?"
"Yes, yes, where did you get the news about Mr. Morgan?"
"Sir, you are so noble and forgetful. Have you forgotten? I told you as early as two months ago that a miraculous doctor in St. Artionius Hospital cured the serious illness I suffered in Furstein. At that time, I also recommended that you come here on Saturday night when you are free." Nero poured a glass of warm water and put it on the bed table. "If you had come to see the doctor earlier before the injury worsened, you might have recovered. The leg injury will have healed long ago.”
But Nero actually thought in his heart: "At that time, the cult was still short of manpower, and the leader was also in desperate need of talents. If Chief John had arrived at that time, he would certainly not have been subject to such heavy investigations as now. Perhaps the leader Directly initiating the ceremony can cure the commander's old illness in one go... With the commander's ability, he will be put into great use by the leader immediately. My position as the so-called deputy leader should be reserved for you. "
"But there was nothing we could do about it. At that time, the leader's reputation for free clinics had not yet been established, and Commander John's injuries had not begun to deteriorate further. We had not yet experienced the disappointment and despair after visiting famous doctors in the city to no avail. Naturally, it was impossible to believe that occasionally I heard the rumors about Dr. Yelu.”
"Fortunately, although a lot of time was wasted, Chief John finally took the initiative to come to the door. And from what the leader said, it seems that the chief and little Anna are still very close... He will definitely join our order in the future."
"At that time, I will be able to continue fighting side by side with the commander... I am really tired. The tasks assigned by the leader are really too difficult for me. I just want to be a soldier who obeys orders. "
"When Commander John joins the Order, and with his advice and planning, our long-stagnant exploration of the secret land will surely be able to move forward again."
Watson was a little embarrassed when he heard the words of his old subordinate, "Well... I was busy at work at that time, and my condition seemed to be getting better, so I didn't take it to heart, and almost wasted my time. Luo, your kindness... Fortunately, it's not too late now."
"Yes, fortunately, sir, you found us in the end, otherwise it would have been difficult to handle if the injuries had worsened again..."
Nello did not reveal the following content... If you wait until your injury worsens again, sir, you may need to arrange a resistance ceremony and ask for the power of the Day Forge to completely cure your old illness. ...But the resistance ceremony requires the price of sacrificing instruments. Perhaps the leader will not agree to treat your injuries so easily.
"Well, this can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes. Although I have been tortured by this pain for many days, it is also because of this that I can see through some people's hearts... It turns out that nobles are nobles after all, and they are different from poor people like us. There is a natural huge gap between them." Watson seemed to recall some sad past, and sighed: "Sure enough, the poor can never win the trust and bell of the nobles... Alas, I said too much, Nello. You should go and do your work in the hospital first, don’t delay your normal work because of me.”
Although the chief deliberately concealed the meaning of his words, it was Nello who was in charge of the investigation some time ago. When he heard it, he knew that the chief was sighing about the matter between him and the female detective... But he couldn't do it at the moment. After revealing the fact that he already knew the inside story, he could only say a few words of comfort, then got up and left the ward, going back to continue his busy work in the hospital.
Watson stayed alone in the ward. He felt the thin vitality remaining in his thigh and replayed the operation process in his mind. Although he did not witness any images, the auditory information was enough to tell him many things... He clearly remembered that before he closed his eyes, only Winfrey Morgan, Nello Bacchus and two other young nurses were left in the operating room.
But why did I hear the sound of seven heart beats like drums behind me?
…………
Watson was hospitalized for two weeks. Under the influence of the residual vitality from the mysterious ritual called surgery at the time, the injury healed quickly. But in fact, this was because he was desperately suppressing the urge to shed his skin, otherwise he would die. This flesh injury may have completely healed within a few days.
He once again drank the bitter medicinal soup sent by Nello. After drinking the medicinal soup with his head raised, he felt that the rhythm of his heartbeat seemed to have accelerated a lot, and his heart muscle pumped more powerfully.
Watson moved his body and landed on the ground. He was able to walk steadily and slowly without the help of crutches.
The more he walked, the happier he became, and the smile on his face was so big that he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear.
"Nelo, your medicine is really effective. I feel that I have more energy every day now, and the surgical wounds heal very quickly!"
Watson looked at Nero Barros who was also happy with his recovery from injury, slowly approached him, put his arm around the other person's shoulders, and asked quietly:
"Nello, can you see if I can continue the operation in my current condition? Why don't you help me ask Mr. Morgan when he will be free to arrange the next operation for me?"
Nello just smiled and said: "This... I have actually asked the director for you, but his surgery schedule has been very tight recently. He goes to and from different operating rooms non-stop every day, and he can't take time out at all. Konglai, the only free time recently was the night after tomorrow, but that day was little Anna's birthday, and the director had to go to the Royal Free Hospital to celebrate his daughter's birthday. "
Strangely enough, since Winfrey has opened her own hospital, she still places her daughter Anna in the Royal Free Hospital. Perhaps he felt that the environment at Cross Road Hospital was not as good as the Royal Free Hospital... But in fact, Watson knew very well that Winfrey probably did not want his daughter to come into contact with Si Chen and the secret sect, so it would be better to stay elsewhere. Can guarantee her safety.
When Watson heard the words of his old subordinate, he frowned. He finally caught a glimmer of hope, so naturally he was unwilling to give up like this. The more he experienced the effect of the operation, the more anxious he became for the next operation. Just like a social animal, time feels extra long when the last day of vacation is approaching.
Although there were only two of them in the ward at the moment, Watson lowered his voice and asked quietly: "Is there any way to join the queue? Can I add more money? Although I have already donated most of my savings to the hospital. , but in fact I still have a hundred pounds in savings in the apartment... Can you use this to work a little bit? "
Nero showed a helpless wry smile, "Sir, you know that our Shizili Hospital is not for profit, and the patients currently in front of you are all seriously ill poor patients... …You don’t want to see poor people being oppressed and missing the best opportunities for treatment because of money and power, right?”
"Sigh... Nello, you are absolutely right. I was so anxious and selfish that my thinking was a little messed up. I was almost as virtuous as those nobles who use their power to oppress others... I'd better wait patiently. "
Nello looked at the regretful commander and said quietly: "That said, sir, you can actually try this and this... it may be effective."
Watson nodded slowly upon hearing this.
"It is indeed a good idea. Then Nello, please help me go through the discharge procedures. I will go back today."
