Chapter XVIII. Courtesy
But Vito couldn't sleep, maybe because he had been in a coma for too long, his eyes were trying to be open, and the muscles around his sockets were still a little swollen, but he endured it, because he wanted to keep his eyes open and look at the world around him.
I have encountered a lot of things in the past few days, and I still don't have a reasonable and accurate judgment on many things in my heart, and I haven't figured it out until now. So he still sealed these questions in his heart, waiting for someone or an opportunity to solve them, maybe the answers could be found in that "treasure", Vito thought.
Just thinking about the confused staring, began to have a little sleepiness, there was a slight sound in the direction of the door, and then the door was pushed open, an electric wheelchair quietly slid into the room, a person sitting in the wheelchair, although the curtains were closed, the room was a little dark, but Vito still recognized, that was their seat, the sheriff of the city-state - Dupont, but now it looks like this big man is a little miserable, his head is wrapped in a white bandage, his arm is fixed with a metal splint, and there are bruises on his face that have not dissipated, and he is blue, a red one.
Vito couldn't lie down, he didn't know why his chief's chief suddenly came to his hospital room and what was going on to find him. Did you do something wrong in that fierce conflict! He wrote it down, and now it's time to settle accounts with yourself? His heart began to feel uneasy, his eyes wandered, because of the light, Vito could not see Du Pont's face clearly, he could not judge his intention by observing the other person's facial expressions, so he supported his body, which was still sore and painful, sat up, and looked at the uninvited guest opposite him with a dazed and panicked look.
And from Du Peng's point of view, that humble life looked so ugly and cowardly because of the swollen and twisted muscles on his face, and his eyes were terrified and panicked, proving that his heart respected his majesty, and under his iron fist, such a cyborg was inferior to an ant on the ground.
He was secretly a little funny, when this cyborg subordinate heard the content of his conversation with the bald head Cassie, he decided to keep this person's mouth shut forever, he didn't allow a word of content to leak out, but he didn't expect that his orders had already been issued, but at the critical moment, it was actually this damn synthetic cyborg who saved himself, and when he was attacked by the mob, he threw himself on top of him, and used his body to block the crazy, like a stormy attack, He protected the vital parts of his body from fatal injuries and saved his life.
To be honest, he hated a lot of synthetic cyborgs like the one in front of him, and their existence was because they were more docile than the slaves of the slavery era; Biochemical populations that are more humane than artificial intelligence robots and do not need to use more sophisticated technical means to implement management; An inexhaustible, inexhaustible, arbitrarily driven unpaid labor force. But this time, he was completely saved by the humble and cowardly guy in front of him, and looking at his pitiful appearance, he secretly made his own decision.
There was a silent silence in the room from the moment Dupont entered the ward, and Vito's mouth squirmed several times, but he didn't know what to say, so he opened his mouth wide and waited for the chief to speak first, and he would answer whatever the chief asked. But after the chief came in, he kept staring at him with a puzzled look, and did not say a word, so that he did not know what his chief was thinking, and could only passively straighten up and wait on the bed in a daze.
"Vito 1000?"
"Yes, sir." Vito seemed very excited, and when his emotions were not well controlled, his voice was much higher than usual, so that he and Du Pong on the other side were startled, and when Du Pong realized that this was caused by the other party's nervousness, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and his heart felt more good for this stupid and cowardly guy.
"You're good, you're good!" Du Pong's tone was very smooth and rhythmic: "Well, I remember, you have a good rest, and then go to work after your body is fully recovered, and I order you, when you go to work, go to my office first, we will meet, let me see how you are recovering, do you hear?" ”
"Yes, sir." This time, the tone was just right, but the outrageously swollen head swayed from side to side, which made people feel like they couldn't help laughing.
The sheriff held back a smile, maintained his due majesty, and said lightly: "I'm leaving, don't forget our agreement." ”
Vito nodded flatteredly, but he didn't know what was going on, confused, but he didn't ask, or he didn't dare to ask, if it was Wharton, he might still ask tentatively, and in the face of Dupont, he didn't dare to speak, because the disparity in status was too great.
The days in the hospital were the most comfortable and comfortable time Vito had in this world, not having to rush to finish fast food and then rush to work, worrying about being late; Don't worry about being blamed by your boss for not being able to complete your work; Don't think about your inappropriate behavior and be targeted by the eyes behind the probes around you. After eating the food specially prepared for him by Leah, he can sit in an electric wheelchair, accompanied by Leah's nurse, and go to the lawn outside the house to soak up the warm and bright sunshine, so that his mind can be completely empty without thinking about anything, and his body and mind are relaxed, and he feels a little regretful that he can't take a book he wants to read and watch it freely.
In short, Vito still enjoys such days very much, accompanied by a special nurse and young lady, stretching out his hands for clothes, opening his mouth for food, and having some small needs in life, such as what he wants to eat, what video he wants to watch, what music he wants to listen to, as long as he speaks, Leah can always satisfy him,
But as the bruises on his face dissipated, the muscles and bones in his body no longer felt pain, he felt that his limbs were filled with strength, his mind regained his agility, those straps, splints, and fixators were removed one by one, and the doctors visited his ward less and less, Vito knew that the day he was getting closer and closer to leaving the hospital.
Finally, this morning, his attending doctor took Leah into the ward and said to him gently: "Vito 1000, I am here to inform you that we have provided you with the best medical care according to the requirements of Sheriff Dupont, and as of today, we have cured all the injuries on your body and all the pathogens that may cause lesions, and your body is now perfect, clean, full of life, and in peak condition, so I now officially inform you, Vito 1000, Today you can leave the hospital, get back to work, and work hard for the city-state. ”
Vito was very happy to listen to these words full of encouragement and hope, but he still noticed a little information revealed in the doctor's words, it turned out that he was so courteous and cared for in the hospital because of the instructions given by Director Du Pong to the hospital, he could enjoy such a comfortable and leisurely time, but what did he do to make Du Pong love him so much! And made a strange pact with him, which he was completely ignorant of.
Changing into his own clothes, saying goodbye to the doctors and nurses who had already met him, and especially thanking Leah for her meticulous care for so many days, with Leah's company, Vito left the ward where he had stayed for five or six days, and said goodbye to Leah 51 again, he walked out of the inpatient building, and said goodbye to this peaceful and peaceful day.
The hospital arranged very properly, after notifying Vito to be discharged, and contacted the General Office of the Donghu City State Police General Headquarters, explaining the situation, when the General Office heard that it was Director Du Pong who greeted him, he immediately said that they would send a car to pick him up, and when Vito walked out of the hospital, a car marked with the logo of the headquarters was parked at the gate.
The people in the general office were very responsible, they not only took Vito back to the headquarters, but also personally sent him to the office of Wharton, the director of the household registration management department, Wharton had already gotten the news, so when the people from the general office walked into the office with Vito, he had already adjusted his emotions, and his face showed unusual enthusiasm.
"Oh, Vito 1000, brave warrior, welcome back from your wounds, let me see how your recovery is!" He put his hands on Vito's arms, swayed from side to side, and nodded his head in satisfaction.
This enthusiasm made Vito feel uncomfortable again, and he nodded stiffly and repeatedly: "It's all right, it's all right, thank you for your concern." ”
I didn't know that this sentence touched Wharton's nerve, and he suddenly said with a straight look: "Of course, you are my most powerful subordinate, and you have to play the most prominent role at the most critical time, and I naturally have to pay more attention to you and care about you." In this case, Vito naturally couldn't take it anymore, so he could only smirk and say that he knew.
Wharton became more considerate: "How! Have you ever been to the office? I haven't been to work for so many days, don't you miss my colleagues very much! You were injured in the line of duty, you were hospitalized to recuperate, and everyone misses you very much! ”
As soon as he heard this, the first thing that came to Vito's mind was Elle's face full of resentment and sadness, since that night, after the tryst between the two, he had an accident the next day, and then he has been in the hospital, he can't leave the hospital at will, and Elle can't come to visit, because that kind of application will definitely be rejected, and it will expose the private intimacy between them, which is simply stupid, and now that he is back, he can finally explain these things to his face, I believe that Elle must have been worried about him during this time, and it was difficult to sleep and eat, and Elle had become very important in his heart at this time.
