Chapter 101 The baby is about to be born
18 Louis Street, Chorwood District.
Inside a townhouse whose exterior walls have been eroded by weather and rain and are slightly blackened.
Sheriff Reed was squatting at the door of the room, lowering his head and smoking a cigarette. There were seven or eight half-smoked cigarette butts scattered on the ground.
When the number of cigarette butts on the ground reached more than a dozen, there was slight movement in the room.
Chief Reed immediately put out the cigarette he had just lit, stood up, wiped his hands on his clothes, and then looked at the doctor who opened the door.
He suppressed his anxiety and asked as calmly as possible: "Dr. Lord, how is my lover's condition?"
Dr. Lord closed the door, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "The situation of the fetus in the mother's body is not optimistic. You must go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. In this case, it depends on what you choose."
Sheriff Reed's head felt stuffy and his throat was dry as he said, "What to choose?"
“It’s better to protect your children than your loved ones.”
"..."
Chief Reed's face turned pale, his lips moved twice, he thought for a long time, and finally said: "Is this the only way?"
"This is just the most ideal situation. With your lover's current physical condition, both parties may not be able to survive."
"..."
Chief Reed's face turned even paler. He obviously wanted to say a lot, but all he could say was, "I will discuss it with my lover."
"We must make a decision as soon as possible and do not delay the timing of surgery."
"Okay, thank you Dr. Lord."
Sheriff Reed tried his best to put a smile on his face, "Thank you to Baron Campbell for my kindness."
"I will."
Dr. Lord didn't stay long, left some medicine and left.
Sheriff Reed looked at the closed door and wanted to take a step, but he only felt the weight of a thousand pounds.
He leaned against the wall next to the door, his whole body went limp and he collapsed on the ground regardless of his appearance.
After a long time, he spat, swore a few curse words, stretched out his hands to rub his cheeks and the corners of his eyes, then stood up, straightened his clothes, and then slowly opened the door and walked in.
…
In the hall, on the sofa, Hastur listened to Dr. Lord's description and asked, "Is there no other treatment method?"
"It's very difficult. With the current state of medicine, it would take a lot of luck to be able to save one of them."
"If you're lucky enough, you can save both lives at the same time?"
"The probability is very low, unless it is really a blessing from the Mother Goddess."
"I believe that the Mother Goddess will not sit back and watch any new life die."
"Does the Baron also believe in the Mother Goddess?"
"No, my faith is the goddess."
Dr. Lord finally left disappointed.
"You need to be lucky enough."
Hastur was thinking about whether he should help with this matter. After all, a doctor had been sent to help, so he couldn't give up halfway.
Needing luck is actually very simple, just ask Will to borrow some luck, but this kind of thing requires trouble with a Sequence 1 Mercury Snake... It always feels too outrageous.
It's better to go to Gray Lint and ask about his recent results. Maybe he has some medicine that can help.
You can also go to Sheriff Reed's house and make a relevant rule.
This can be considered as doing your best.
It just so happened that he also wanted to ask Gray Lint about the research on mosquito repellent powder.
Graylint's house.
In order to study drugs, Gray Lint specially built a new basement in the backyard of his home.
According to him, researching drugs can only have that mysterious atmosphere if it is built underground.
When Hastur walked into the basement, Gray Lint was still playing with his bottles and jars, and from time to time he had to worry about the liquid in the cauldron over there, and he was as busy as a top.
Hastur, who stood behind and stared at him silently for a while, waited for Graylingt to stop what he was doing, and then he said, "Graylingt, what good stuff have you researched recently?"
"Hasta, you are here, wait for me, I will make some adjustments here."
Gray Lint continued to fiddle with the instruments without raising his head. After about ten minutes, he finally ended today's experiment.
After washing his hands and face, he said happily: "Hasta, I feel that my mental state has been much better recently, as if I have broken through some kind of bottleneck. Do you think I have completely digested the medicine master's potion?"
"You should know this kind of thing better than me."
"That's completely digested. I once had the feeling you described."
Hastur said with a smile: "Congratulations, you are ready to be promoted to Sequence 8."
Gray Lint was also very happy, waving his arms and said: "I have gathered the extraordinary materials for a Sequence 8 beast tamer. After I rest for a few days, I will try to be promoted."
Hasta congratulated him.
Gray Linte can have such speed, it is not in vain that he can give him a small stove from time to time.
"By the way, Hastur, why did you come to see me today?"
After being happy, Gray Lint asked about Hastur's purpose.
"Regarding the mosquito repellent powder business and a medical incident."
"The ingredients for the mosquito repellent powder are very simple. I will also add some fragrance according to your suggestions. As long as the workers are summoned, it can be put into production soon."
Gray Lint then handed the improved mosquito repellent powder formula to Hastur, and then asked about Sheriff Reed's lover.
After listening to Hasta's introduction, he frowned slightly and said: "Use your extraordinary ability to help others... Hasta, I suddenly feel the greatness of life."
Hasta said with a hint of meaning: "Perhaps this is your extraordinary path."
The pinnacle of the pharmacist's path, the blood queen Lilith, is the Earth Mother.
It is normal to be affected by the corresponding impact when embarking on this extraordinary path.
"Maybe it's my illusion. I don't have so much time to help others."
Grelint gave a reason that he could accept.
"I just happen to have a medicine that can regulate the body's deficiency. Ahem... This is an unexpected product. You should understand."
Grelint looked embarrassed. In order to prevent Hasta from misunderstanding, he hurriedly explained: "My body is good in all aspects. There is no problem at all. I am just interested in this aspect."
"Grelint, I have always believed in you."
I believe that you are indeed physically deficient.
Hasta added another sentence silently in his heart.
"I used a lot of precious herbs to make this medicine. It is very nourishing to the human body and can be taken by both men and women."
Grelint smiled and said, "Hasta, do you want to try one too?"
"Grelint, I'm different from you."
"..."
Grelint's face flushed slightly, and he explained it to himself again, reiterating that there was nothing wrong with his body.
"Can pregnant women use this medicine?"
"Of course, this is a medicine I carefully prepared. I even gave it to two doctors at home, and they all said it worked very well."
Hasta still believed in this. The medicine developed by the pharmacist is much more effective than ordinary medicines.
In the case of Sheriff Reed's lover, he can use medicine to nourish his body first, and then perform surgery, and the success rate will be much higher.
In addition to the rules he made, it should be safe and sound.
Hasta did not stay long, and led a doctor from Grellint's family to Sheriff Reed's house.
This doctor had taken the medicine of Grallant before, and could make a more accurate judgment based on the situation of Sheriff Reed's lover.
Hasta's arrival made Sheriff Reed's eyes red. He suppressed his gratitude and greeted Hasta and the doctor.
"Everything will be fine."
Hasta comforted him and secretly made a rule,
which roughly means: mother and child must be safe.
Finally, he gave his own blessing: the mother celebrated the birth of the baby, and the baby was happy to be born into the world.
After all, he was also an extraordinary person of half of the destiny path, and his blessing should also play a role.
Although it is far less than Will's blessing, it can still increase some luck.
Soon, the doctor came out of the room and said that the problem was not big and he could take the medicine developed by Grallant.
He could recuperate at home for a few more days, and when his body got better, he would go to the hospital for surgery. The possibility of mother and child being safe should be very high.
"Doctor, you, are you telling the truth?"
After getting affirmation again and again, Sheriff Reed's eyes were filled with tears, and he really couldn't believe the good news.
Everything was so gloomy this morning, especially Dr. Lord's statement of whether to save the elder or the younger, which made him feel like he was in a cold hell.
But now, his situation suddenly flew from hell to heaven.
The joy in this can no longer be expressed in words.
All this is thanks to Baron Campbell!
It was he who helped him change this desperate reality!
He was very fortunate that he took Baron Campbell's case and successfully protected Baron Campbell.
"Take good care of your loved ones, and believe that miracles will come to them."
Hasta did not stay for long, and took the doctor away in the grateful eyes of Sheriff Reed.
With no outsiders present, Sheriff Reed could no longer suppress his emotions, lying on the wall at the door to wipe his tears, then tidied his clothes and walked into the room with firm steps.
