Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Illness of Anton

Of them, Anton always felt that he was the most impulsive, and that he was the one who was most likely to respond to Balbo's words.

Although Shigego was his playmate when he was a child, Anton had to admit that he couldn't be counted on at all when it came to anything to negotiate with people, and he seemed to talk a lot when he was with his friends, but in front of outsiders, he was completely stuffy. Actually, even when he's with a few of them, Shigego isn't completely at heart to heart with them, and it's not the first time he's done it without communicating with them, and he often does a lot of things by himself without consulting everyone, but most of the time he messes things up, and of course there are times when a blind cat meets a dead mouse. So in the face of Balbo's words, he will definitely not have any verbal response.

Of course, if Ling is here, the person who doesn't react will have to add one, because Ling is quite introverted even when she is with a few of her own.

As for Arazuki, she is a very attentive and empathetic girl, but in this kind of thing, her attitude often depends on Xinghe's attitude, and since Xinghe told her not to do anything, then she would definitely do nothing.

As the leader of their children, Xinghe had always shown a maturity and steadiness that was not appropriate for his age, he was calmer than all of his own, and he could see the situation clearly, as he had discovered from the very beginning when he asked his few of them to put aside their pathetic morals and reach into the pockets of the drunkard who had fallen drunk in the alley.

Therefore, Anton thought that Xinghe would definitely choose not to argue with Balbo at this time, as he did, after all, the other party was almost unreservedly helping them in Ling's affairs.

Anton knew where Xinghe's anger was coming from, and in fact, it wasn't the old man Balbo who said that, but someone he didn't know, and Anton would have thrown his fist at it. What he has experienced in Jiangcheng in the past two years, only he knows in his heart, if he can, no one wants to be a liar and a thief. Life is not a fairy tale, how can it be as simple as you think. The Empire's aid station was completely unreliable for them, the human orphans, who had been able to count on a meal of black bread from the aid station, who had already turned into corpses buried in snowdrifts in the first winter of their arrival in Jiangcheng.

Those who accuse them can only say that they don't have a backache when they stand and talk, and think about it, Anton doesn't think that anyone in their position will have a better choice.

It's just that Anton thinks it's really inappropriate to off old man Balbo like this, and Emilio follows old man Balbo to talk to him at the entrance of the corridor.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xinghe took them into Ling's ward, which was just an ordinary ward, with only three patients lying on the six beds, including Ling, the facilities in the room looked a little old, and the wallpaper on the wall also had protrusions in many places, and the only advantage that was said in the past was that the ward was relatively clean.

The other two patients in the ward were lying on the bed, as if they were asleep, and their relatives were not in the room, and the room was very quiet.

Ling was lying on the hospital bed, and seemed to be asleep, but compared to last night, her face looked much better, and she finally returned to her normal appearance.

Knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Anton saw Emilio standing at the door of the ward, and she walked in without waiting for Anton to say anything, as if she was knocking on the door just to remind herself that she was coming.

As soon as she came in, she walked directly to Ling's hospital bed, and the expression on her face didn't know whether it was sad or happy, and Anton looked at her worriedly, thinking about how to negotiate with her. She and Balbo were talking for a while at the entrance of the corridor just now, and Anton didn't know if it would affect Ling's treatment, after all, she was the doctor in charge of treating Ling, and it was introduced by Old Man Balbo.

But she didn't seem to intend to give Anton a chance to show her eloquence, and from the moment she entered the ward, she put her hands in the pockets of her white coat without saying a word, and looked Xinghe up and down without concealment, and Xinghe looked at her without showing weakness.

Taking advantage of this moment, Anton had the opportunity to take a closer look at this female doctor, as a woman who doesn't seem to be very old, being able to be an attending physician in Jiangcheng Public Hospital shows that she still has some ability.

Emilio is more good-looking, but certainly not very beautiful, at least she is not the type that Anton likes. Probably for ease of care, her hair was kept shoulder-length, her face was only painted with light makeup, the freckles under the blush were still faintly visible, and the thick bags under her eyes indicated that she often stayed up late, from the first meeting to the present, Anton didn't remember seeing her smile, she gave Anton the feeling of being a strong woman.

The staring between her and Xinghe finally gave up first, "Is there anything wrong?" he asked.

"It's nothing, you give me the impression that you are a very rational person, don't you worry about being kicked out of this hospital if you do such an irrational thing?" she asked, staring at Xinghe.

"How can that. Anton hurriedly stood between the two of them, blocking their sight with his round body, "You wouldn't do such a thing, would you?" He had a smile on his face.

Emilio frowned slightly, as if he was a little displeased, and Anton hurriedly smiled and stepped back from between her and Xinghe, "You continue, you continue." ”

Xinghe, Chonggo, and Arazuki all looked at him with wide eyes and stunned, and only half of them reacted, and Chonggo stood behind Emilio and secretly gave him a thumbs up, even Emilio was also impressed by his cheekiness, and he didn't think about what to say for a long time with his mouth open.

Eventually, she shook her head, didn't say anything, took her hands out of her pockets, and at the same time took out a piece of paper, and handed it to Xinghe.

Anton approached Xinghe and found that it was a medical record, but it was ...... Anyway, there were a lot of words on it that he didn't recognize, "What is that talking about?" he asked Emilio, tilting his head.

Emilio didn't answer immediately, she stretched out her right hand and made a strange gesture, a translucent film of light centered around her and wrapped Ling's hospital bed and Anton and the others, when the light film passed over her body, Anton felt like he was scratched by a feather, and he felt itchy.

Curiously, Anton poked a finger at the translucent film, and the finger poked it without any resistance, causing ripples on the surface of the translucent film, "What is this?" he asked.

Xinghe stared at the light film and replied with some uncertainty, "It should be sound insulation, only sound insulation." ”

Anton noticed that the voice outside the translucent light film was really inaudible at all, "But, why use sound insulation, is there anything inconvenient for others to hear?" Anton looked at Emilio suspiciously.

"This is a lawful measure to protect patient privacy in accordance with the doctor-patient agreement. Emilio replied, "Her situation is not very optimistic, Balbo's judgment is not wrong, what happened to her is a curse, but it is not an ordinary curse, it should be born and very sticky, so we can't act rashly." ”

"Innate, this thing can be born too?" Anton felt incredulous, even if he didn't know anything about magic, he had heard some stories about magic, he had never heard of curses and such a thing could be born.

"The incidence of congenital curse syndrome is very low, but it is not completely impossible, and it may be helpful if you can provide the child's medical history of previous diagnoses, but I don't think you can get it. Emilio replied.

Anton looked at each other with a smile, Ling was found in the ruins of Shiva Town, and when she was found, she didn't remember anything except her own name, that is, she really had past medical records, and Anton didn't know where to look.

"Didn't Mr. Balbo say that a high concentration of demonic water is effective, isn't it?" Xinghe asked suddenly.

"A high concentration of demonic water is not completely harmless to the body, especially since her body is already very weak, and the rash use of high-concentration demonic water may cause irreparable damage to her body organs. Emilio said.

"You mean you can't cure Ling?" Xinghe asked, staring at her.

"Hard treatment with high concentration of magic water is still effective, but I don't recommend this treatment at this stage, and I recommend conservative treatment before her condition deteriorates further, so as to control the condition first and find a better treatment after we learn more about her condition. Emilio replied.

"Is that past medical record important?" said Shigego abruptly.

Emilio glanced back at him, "I can't guarantee it, but it will certainly help to understand her condition, and if you're lucky, maybe it will greatly reduce the time it takes to find a better cure." ”

Hearing Shigego's words, Anton faintly had a bad feeling, I'm afraid this kid is going to make some decisions on his own.

Sure enough, Shigego immediately spoke, "I want to go back to Shiva and look for medical records." ”

"Shigo!" Xinghe suddenly drank him, but it was still a little late, and Emilio still noticed it, "Shiva!?Shiva Town, the report says there are no survivors there." She glanced at the wary men, shook her head, and said, "I'm not interested in your past. ”

"How do we know what you say is true. Xinghe stared at her intensely.

"Believe it or not is your freedom. Emilio replied helplessly, "I'm here just to remind you that I don't care where your money comes from, and I don't know where your money comes from, and if it causes any problems, it won't matter to me." ”

"It's not going to be a problem. Xinghe replied coldly.

"It's not up to you, but you have to know that if something goes wrong, you're going to be responsible for it, and I'm not going to pay for your treatment like Balbo did, and at that point, her treatment will probably have to be stopped. Emilio replied.

"That's what you're trying to say with soundproofing. Anton couldn't help but ask, Emilio didn't deny it, remembering the doctor-patient agreement she said before, Anton couldn't help but sigh, "It's really cunning." ”

Emilio shrugged, "This is the world of grown-ups. ”
