279 Reward 1 (1/2)
Chapter 279: Reward 1
The Black Panther’s small squad of four had returned to Iron Tank City. Under the help of the close connection to the castle border guards belonging to Andy’s father, all of them were admitted to the hospital under the wing of Chialunar Academy.
This was the best hospital in the entire Iron Tank City, and had the best doctors.
In the ward.
Garen laid down on the bed, feeling bored.
Up, down, left, right, the floor, everything was white. On the bedside counter was a vase filled with lilies, and among them, some petals had slightly withered.
On the right side of the bed was a metal rack, on top of which was a bottle of medicated drip. The medicine flowed into Garen’s vein drop by drop through a thin pipe.
He could clearly feel the cold medicine seeping in through his wrist. The room was pin-drop silent, only some echoing footsteps could be heard from the corridor outside the ward.
Garen was lying alone in the middle of the ward bed From his angle tilting his head and looking out, he could still see the trees outside that had blossomed into many white flowers. The noon sunlight beamed down, through the leaves, forming mottled golden geometries, rustling as the wind blew.
Gacha.
The door was opened slowly, a chubby nurse dressed in white walked in. She was pushing a medicinal cart, and when she reached the side of the bed, she tapped the medication that was finishing soon, taking it down and changing it with a fresh bottle of drip.
”Pretty good body.” This middle-aged lady looked at Garen, ”such a large surface burn could heal this quickly.”
”I have had a good body since young.”Garen laughed. ”Right, may I know how are the few friends that were admitted together with me?”
”I don’t know.” The nurse simply answered. ”I am not in charge of them, you can try asking the doctor.”
”Then it’s fine, I will rest a little bit more and then try looking for them.” Garen said, and remained silent thereafter.
The nurse left immediately after changing the drips, closing the door as she left.
Garen turned on his side, his body having felt stiff from the inactivity and staying in bed all day.
Soon, the door squeaked once again, and a fairly young, 14 or 15-year-old girl walked in. She was also wearing a nurse’s uniform, and on her hands was a large plate, which had a lot of white lunch boxes on it.
”Lunch is here, sorry to keep you waiting.”
The girl placed the plate on the bedside counter, took one lunchbox from the plate and placed it on the countertop.
”The menu for lunch is carrot and potato…. Potato stewed with pork skin, white bread….. unlimited. Please enjoy your meal.”
The girl looked pure. As you looked at her you’d notice some naivety; she dared not make eye contact with Garen, who was on the bed, and she stuttered some as she spoke.
”May I know your name?” Garen looked at the girl funnily, suddenly thinking of Ying Er, his younger sister in the previous world. His eyes showed gentleness. ”Can you do me a favor?”
”My… My name is Wei Xi. What do you need?” The girl seemed more comfortable, but she still dare not look at Garen.
Wei Xi is a student who worked at the hospital, she had just entered the Chialunar Academy this year, the best medical academy in the city. Although it was renowned in the suburbs only, it was considered to be a good place to be already.
Unexpectedly, among all the nurses that were interning, she’s the only one who was chosen to the advanced care area due to her nice appearance. Especially to care for rich patients.
Inside the advanced care area, if it weren’t nurses with a lot of experience, would be nurses like this; who had very attractive appearances and bodies. To the patients here, the experienced nurses are in charge of practical tasks, while attractive nurses served to soothe the heart and emotions.
Before Wei Xi came, she already heard from others that the patients here are either rich or noblemen; she could easily bump into anyone and meet someone with an immense background.
As she thought of this, she cannot help but feel anxious.
Would he request for something inappropriate from me?
Even though she was thinking that way, but the helpless romantic teen in her couldn’t help but to fantasize that perhaps she could meet a nobleman’s young master. Handsome, charismatic, gentle, compassionate, or he may just like someone like her type, who knows.
At times where she was in a tight spot, he would stand out, shielding her with a tall stature, beating some villains from somewhere, then turned back to gently lift her chin…
The girl was stunned, her face blushing red, occasionally smiling like an idiot.
”Could you help me check on the situation in room 235 and 257? My friends are staying in those wards.”
Garen speechlessly sat there as the girl smiled like an idiot, he lightly used his finger to push the girl’s arm.
”Hey, hey, you alright?”
”No… Nothing!” The girl snapped back into focus, ”I will immediately check on it for you.” Her face blushed red, taking a peek at Garen on his bed, she was shocked and lowered her head again.
”Am I that scary?” Garen picked up the lunchbox, he touched his face with confusion.
Lunch was great, the meat was stewed tender and the soup was very thick, very fragrant.
After hurriedly finishing the lunch, he placed the lunchbox aside.
Garen wiped his mouth, lying against the bedframe, both his arms thickly rolled by rounds upon rounds of bandages, much like a white baseball bat. Only his fingers could move freely
