The doctor came out of Tommy's room, which was in quarantine as instructed, and could only allow Albert to stand in the doorway and watch Tommy's condition. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Sir. The doctor said, "Brother Ling is no longer in danger." ”

"Great, doctor, your medical skills are really outstanding. ”

As he spoke, the doctor himself became puzzled, "How dare I take credit for the seven Holy Spirits and the One God?" All I can say is that I have not used expensive medicine or new means. Your brother's illness had shown signs of improvement before I saw him, and if he had not been in good health, give all the praise to God who has mercy on us. ”

Albert's mood suddenly lightened a lot, and he was almost disillusioned and he began to be full of hope again.

"May God be with you, sir. If I could, I would definitely go to church and donate money. Albert said, "Now that my brother's condition is getting better, can I go in and see him?"

"Of course you can, just a little bit of attention. The doctor explained a lot of things, and although he avoided many words, he couldn't help but ask, "Let me ask, you probably won't have access to your brother's bodily fluids, will you?"

"No, I don't think so. ”

"Then it doesn't matter, may God be with you and take your leave. ”

The doctor walked downstairs and said goodbye to Albert and the owner of the mansion.

Albert, who had seen the doctor away, walked straight to his brother's hospital room.

The whitewashed brown wood floor, quietly reflecting the warmth of the sun, Albert pushed open the door to the ward. Fine dust fluttered in the sun, and the imperfectly shaped glass windows blurred the scenery outside. Albert put his hand on Tommy's face, and indeed the high fever had subsided quite a bit. If the fever does not rise again during the week, the tormenting disease can be declared cured.

"I'm glad your brother's condition is improving. Joe walked in too, and the doctor seemed to have told him.

"Mr. Joe!" Albert immediately bowed as a servant, "I don't know how to thank you. ”

"You have nothing to thank, the doctor said he didn't use any great drugs, it was all Tommy's own tenacity. ”

"If it weren't for you, Tommy's tenacity might not have had such a chance to manifest. Albert said.

Joe sat on the edge of Tommy's bed and asked Albert to sit on the chair at the head of the bed. Like Albert did, Joe tested the temperature of Tommy's face with his hands. Albert seems to have noticed that Joe was not just kind to himself and his brother, but rather a kind of pain and remembrance. In any case, Joe's treatment of himself is somewhat beyond the scope of the friendship of the landlord. Just yesterday, Joe was wiping a bottle of ice wine and saying that he wanted Albert to have a drink with him. The style and taste of that wine are obviously the best of private brewing or smuggling. I don't know how many years have passed in the cellar of the house, but Albert was shocked for a long time and couldn't resist Joe's kind invitation to taste it.

"Why you were displaced, I don't know. Joe asked.

Albert never liked to answer the question, "My dad used to gamble, and every time he lost money, he would drink to get angry, every time he won, he would drink to celebrate, and it was the same thing." After he got drunk, our brothers instinctively knew that we should stay away. Finally, one day, his mother couldn't stand the beating and scolding of him anymore when he was drunk, so she smashed all the wine bottles and walked away while he was not at home. And the father, who was found drowned in the well of a tavern outside the city one winter. Albert said that it may be because it is always bad to publicize it as a family ugly.

"What kind of man was he?" asked Joe, "your father, what kind of man was he when he was sober?"

"My father was a ......," Albert thought to sum up the distant memories, "he was a rotten man, there is no doubt about it." Although he can talk to people before drinking, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is humble and humorous, but after getting drunk, he is judged to be two people. My mother sometimes took us to church for the night to avoid my drunken father, and then came home the next day. I wanted to blame my father, but his peaceful behavior put all the blame on the harmful drink, so that people couldn't get angry with him. He had a lot of work, but he didn't know because he didn't do anything. Once, he said that he was going to resell some elven objects, saying that those old antiques were very valuable, runes, carvings, books, etc., and he took a large sum of money and had no words. He never thought about the affairs of the family, how many meals a day we had, dead or alive, and in the end, the legacy he left behind was to lose the family house at the gambling table. ”
