Chapter Thirty-Seven: Misery
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun ignites the sunset in Lunsu City, which is as gorgeous as fire for a while.
"Knock! knock!"
On the first floor of Rossi Surgical Hospital, the wooden wheels of wheelchairs rattle on the ground.
Joyce was in a wheelchair, wearing a white and blue striped hospital gown, and she looked a lot more refreshed.
"Elena, are you sure you don't need a break?"
Joyce asked the blonde girl pushing the wheelchair with a calm expression.
If it weren't for the outsiders, Joyce wouldn't have had to work so hard for Elena in a wheelchair.
Elena didn't speak, just shook her head, and her reluctant look was faintly perceived by Joyce.
The hospital is like a labyrinth, divided into many wards, the corridors are quite wide, but the smell of stone salt water is not good.
Elena pushed Joyce to a ward outside the intensive care ward, where a man in civilian clothes quickly got up on the bench.
"We were from the Traveler's Bar and met Angela and came to see her. Joyce sighed slightly, identifying herself to the man in civilian clothes.
"Let him in. ”
Without waiting for the plainclothes man to speak, Captain Bazel, dressed in a leather trench coat, turned out of a corner of the ward.
Captain Bazel spoke, and the man in civilian clothes quickly saluted, and quickly opened the door to the hospital room.
"Captain!"
Joyce feigned surprise and greeted Bazel unnaturally.
Elena just nodded to the trench coat man and pushed Joyce inside.
"The captain doesn't seem to be in love with Angela, it's more like sympathy. ”
Because he had spied on the man in the trench coat before, Joyce had a position in his heart about his relationship with Angela.
Angela's right shoulder, along with the secret source, was shattered, causing the secret power to backlash, and it was barely possible to save her life. Bazel, who followed into the ward, whispered as Angela fell asleep.
Joyce looked at the hospital bed, the bandage that had been wrapped around Angela's collarbone, and felt uncomfortable.
Joyce, who was in a wheelchair, didn't speak, and he didn't ask Angela what had happened to her to be so badly injured.
In the dreary atmosphere, Joyce twisted his face to the side.
"What will happen to her?"
After leaving the hospital room, Joyce's expression became more and more calm.
"Even if she survives, she is not suitable to stay in the military, and she will be given a disability allowance in the department. Captain Bazel laughed at himself.
"Can I come and see Angela often?"
Joyce, as if she didn't want the red-haired girl to be too pitiful, asked the man in the trench coat for advice.
"Come back when she's in a better condition, you can't always have guards for her. Bazel was very frank.
"Useless people, that is, worthless?"
Joyce just thought so, he didn't think that the MI was all cold-blooded people.
During the day, Arrin and Teresa also came to see Joyce, but he pretended to be in poor health and didn't talk to them for long.
Just as Joyce was about to say goodbye to Captain Bazel, Briley Burton, dressed in a classical robe, arrived in the intensive care ward.
"You've got into trouble with Arrin this time. ”
Old Burton, whose face was wrinkled, had no good aura when he saw Joyce.
Joyce didn't say a word, as if he had broken his teeth and was about to swallow in his stomach.
"Take him back to the hospital room first. ”
Bolton Sr. glanced at Elena and motioned for her and Joyce to show up as little as possible.
"Elena, the vice-captain said that the murderer of old Rupert has been killed, are you happy?" Joyce spoke calmly, a little further away from the intensive care ward.
Elena endured the pain in her heart, but smiled unnaturally.
"I'll have something to say to old Bolton later. ”
Joyce greeted Elena in advance.
Not only Angela's hospital room, but Joyce's ward was also guarded by a man in civilian clothes, but his freedom was not restricted.
Pushing Joyce back into the hospital room, Elena spun left him alone.
"What should I do?"
Joyce was secretly anxious, he sensed that Elena turned out of the ward to find a corner bench, covered her heart and sat down gently.
The seed that took root in Elena's heart did not grow very quickly, but the impact on her was more serious than Joyce expected.
It wasn't until the elder Bolton pushed open the door to Joyce's hospital room that he didn't come up with a good solution.
"Joyce, remember what I told you about the identification work?" Old Bolton entered the room without knocking or sitting down, his eyes looking at Joyce with a little disappointment.
"You've said that forensics are more like middlemen, and it's important to be realistic. Joyce got up from his wheelchair and stood on the ground, showing respect for the old man.
"Killing and greed can easily lead people deeper and deeper, Joyce, do you believe in fate?" said Old Burton, which made Joyce's heart tremble.
"Fate is for fighting. ”
Joyce said secretly, he could somewhat understand the meaning of the old man in front of him.
"Not long after you entered the MI, many people died at your hands, and once the greed in your heart grows again, I am afraid that more and more people will die at your hands in the future. The elder Bolton seemed to be estimating Joyce's future through this incident.
Joyce didn't refute, but fell into thought.
"Promise me, don't be a killer in the future, you are still so young, what you need is growth, not depravity. Old Bolton had a deep eye and a warning to Joyce.
"I'll pay attention to it later. ”
Joyce replied solemnly, apparently aware of the old Burton's expectations.
"Is there anything else you would like to say or ask?"
The elder Bolton received Joyce's assurance, and he no longer pursued the matter of the Flame Tenderness Ballroom.
"Mr. Burton, since Elena was injured the night before, I think something is wrong with her, but I can't say why, she's all right, right?" said Joyce.
"If you want to save Elena, it's best to send her back to the Church of the Goddess of Life. Old Bolton shook his head, not too optimistic.
Old Bolton didn't notice that there was a strange seed in Elena's heart that had taken root, he was just a judge based on experience and intuition.
"Mr. Burton, please help me bring Elena back to the Traveler's Bar. Joyce wanted to inquire about the strangeness in Elena's heart, but she couldn't get the words out of her mouth.
"You'll be back in two days. ”
As Briley Bolton was about to leave the house, he was disgruntled.
"It's a hot day!"
Joyce sat in a wheelchair and gently pushed the wheel with her hand.
Until it was determined that the elder Bolton had gone with Elena, Joyce pushed his wheelchair out of the ward.
"Bell! bell!"
There was a knock on the door of Palemi Huda's hospital room, and it was Joyce who entered.
The woman on the hospital bed didn't move, and Joyce didn't approach the bedside.
"I'm so sorry for Byrne's death, those people are looking for me. Joyce felt that she should give Ms. Palemi an explanation.
"I see. ”
Palemi only responded loudly, with no hatred, but also no forgiveness.
Thinking of the man in the small collar who had been shot dead several times, Joyce could slightly understand Ms. Palemie's feelings.
At night, the candlelight outside the ward faintly shook out Arlin's face lying on the door and window, and if you didn't know him, it was really easy to be frightened by him.
"This guy is sick!"
For Arlin, regardless of the occasion, Joyce secretly vented her depressed feelings.
Joyce, who could see other people's darkness, didn't think that his own movement in a wheelchair at night was also terrifying.
Without letting the thief-like Yarlin make any more moves, Joyce left the hospital room.
"Those people should be gone. ”
Arrin pushed Joyce's wheelchair and smiled with relief.
"Arlin, I'm really not in the mood to say anything to you today!" Joyce was not perfunctory, he also wanted to lie motionless on the hospital bed like Lady Palemie.
"Tomorrow the sun will still rise, a new day will come, Joyce, you have done more than I imagined, killing people is not easy, especially the first time. Arrin said to Joyce with a smile.
"Are you reminding me that I've wasted a day?" Joyce's expression was so blank that it was hard to read his thoughts.
"This is a very good opportunity, if you can get the reward of the department, not only will you have the opportunity to become a secret cultivator, but you can also become a full-fledged member of the military intelligence department. Arrin whispered to Joyce.
At the thought of entering the circle and the way of money, Joyce just forced herself to smile.
"Haven't you changed your mind about Miss Caroline?" asked Joyce, returning to her room.
"Don't worry, I'll go with you to Gerald Manor to deliver the news, and I haven't told you what I learned from Palemie. "Yarlin obviously didn't give up on this money.
"Yarlin, I'm curious about how much gold you can earn a year as an intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Department. "As far as Joyce knows, Arlin, the guy in charge of typing out contracts, shouldn't have much field military affairs.
"It's difficult, I don't have many opportunities. ”
Yarlin's powerlessness is not faked.
But it didn't take long for Arrin to pick himself up, and through the events of the Flame Tender Ballroom, he even thought of a series of follow-up drill camps.
"If you hadn't pulled me out of the Traveler's Bar, there wouldn't have been anything like this, and it's a shame that I'd survived this time. Joyce feigned annoyance.
"Joyce, if you want to control your own destiny, becoming strong is the only way out, and being truly strong will definitely not be a person, thank you for saving me this time. Far from being embarrassed, Yarlin laughed excitedly.
"This guy is a little crazy!"
That's how Joyce could only describe Arlin, at least he wasn't happy at the moment.
Joyce, who was in a different situation, thought it was too early to be happy.
Even if the cloaked old man died, some things were overt and secret, and Joyce still felt breathless.
Joyce pulled his face and didn't speak, he didn't deny that after this incident, he could be regarded as having gone through life and death with Yarlin, but he was cautious about joining forces with Yarlin in the future.
"I can't be ostentatious at this time, tying up interests with Yarlin will only bring me trouble. Joyce silently measured in her mind.
