Chapter 301: A Difficult Wait
The voice Jonas was familiar, yes, it was a shadow of his childhood, looking around vigilantly, looking for the source of the sound, and soon Jonas saw Elizabeth on the sofa across the bed, of course, in Jonas's eyes, it was just a dog, a small and beautiful dog.

However, seeing that there was a dog in the administrative hall, in the ward, especially by his side, he did not let his anger subside because of the dog's small size, and still frowned at Borobus beside him with some urgency and said with a displeased face:
"Dogs, Borobus, where did this come from? I remember that the administrative department didn't have a rule that you can't keep pets? Could it be that the rules have changed?"
As a dog lover, I'm afraid I can't imagine the feeling that Jonas felt when he saw a dog, that is the state that only when he encounters a natural enemy, Borobus is such a dog lover, looking at the unhappy expression on his lord's little face, he thought that Jonas felt that the appearance of a puppy in the ward would interfere with Nader's recovery, so he calmly replied:
"Mr. Viscount, this dog is not owned by anyone in our Executive Hall, the reason why it is here is because your teacher is here, when we rescued Father Nader ashore, it was lying on Father Nader's chest, they were holding it very tightly, it looked like Nader's pet, so in order to ensure that Father Nader could see his pet when he woke up, we made an exception to let this cute little creature into the Executive Hall. β
"Nader's pet?" Jonas's brows furrowed even tighter, as his own teacher, Nader knew very well that he was a person who was afraid of dogs, and in the face of a dog-afraid person who got along day and night to raise a dog, Jonas couldn't understand Nader's thoughts.
'Could it be that Nader has an opinion about himself and feels that he is too clingy to him in normal times, so he needs to get a dog to prevent me from going to him more often?"
Jonas guessed in his heart Nader's reason for raising a dog, looking at the cute looking puppy in the distance, Jonas had a little headache, and thought about it, it was better to let him disappear from his eyes first, otherwise the goosebumps on his body were about to be set, thinking of this, Jonas looked at Borobus, and said with a certain hint:
"Borobus, do you think Nader will be happier to see me when he wakes up, or will he be happier when he sees the dog?"
"Of course it's you, as you say, you haven't seen each other for a long time, and I think Father Nader will be touched when he sees his dear disciple at his bedside. Borobus said as a matter of course, not feeling at all that he was hinted at by Jonas to say this, but Jonas didn't bother to think about these things, and when Borobus said what he wanted in this game, Jonas continued:
"Very well, Borobus, get this dog out of the house, wherever it is, your office, wherever it wants, just don't put it in front of you. β
"Clam?" said Borobus, who was a little unresponsive, and after a moment of astonishment, "Why?, sir, it is very touching that you are expecting your teacher to wake up, and is it not even the least respectful that poor puppy is expecting his master to wake up? β
Borobus's words were unexpectedly tough, and Jonas was stunned when he heard it, he really didn't expect that Borobus, who is usually very slippery, could say such righteous and touching words for a dog, at this moment, Jonas was a little skeptical that he was the queen mother who broke up the Seven Fairies and the Cowherd.
After a while, he finally understood that Borobus was seeking justice for the dog, and then Jonas opened his mouth and said: "Administrator Borobus, remember who you are talking to, first of all, what you said is right, I am expecting my teacher to wake up, and the dog is also expecting his master to wake up, but I want you to remember that I am here to pay your salary, not this dog, and that's right, don't you think?"
"Yes, but it has nothing to do with letting him stay with his master, don't you expect your pet to be with you when you're sick?" Hearing Jonas's tone a little stiff, Borobus's sensitive subordinate immediately reacted, and the toughness of his tone plummeted, sounding a lot more humble, looking at Jonas, it seemed like the second one in the room was enough.
"No, thank you. Jonas's tone was very stiff, and looking at Borobus's sad face, Jonas sighed and said:
"I know that your love for pets is entirely due to your kindness, Mr. Borobus, but you should also understand that a situation in which you have a fear of a certain animal due to some special factors in your childhood is also worthy of respect, Borobus, this world is not only dog lovers, but also people who are afraid of dogs, and their existence is no less than the end of the world for these people, so you understand?"
Jonas himself was very satisfied with his answer, which was full of equal and free tone, oh, he almost felt that he was going to turn into an equal fighter at this moment, and Borobus was the hateful White Left Madonna, who was being split in half by the sword of justice in his hand.
Borobus fell silent, and Jonas was complacent in his heart, and waited for a long time, just when Jonas felt that it was time for Borobus to kneel on the ground and confess to himself how narrow it was to think that what he had just said was that he did not take the rights of others into account and only centered on himself, Borobus spoke.
"Are you saying you're afraid of dogs?"
"Can I have someone kill you right now?" Jonas rolled his eyes in his heart, his wonderful narration was exchanged for such a cruel but realistic answer, oh God, you are really great, you can persuade so many people to have good thoughts, but I can't even manage the hearts of a subordinate, sure enough, the existence of gods is still very necessary.
"Why, am I wrong?" Borobus still asked very simply, and Jonas on the side couldn't help but shout: "That's enough! You're right, I'm afraid of dogs, what's wrong?! Now, please excuse me, send this dog out, thank you, I'm going to rest, don't disturb me." β
After saying that, Jonas sat down in the chair, closed his eyes directly, and pretended to be asleep in a posture that everyone could see was pretending to be asleep.
A nobleman is afraid of dogs, in this era, the degree of shame is equivalent to a man in ancient China who likes to weave wool, which will be regarded as a sissy performance, and if a lord is recognized by the outside world as a sissy, the cowardice, incompetence, little white face, Words like no sexual ability will follow immediately, although the last point is true for Jonas at this time, but such a one-sided stereotype is really a model of dishonor for a lord, so he chose to pretend to be asleep to avoid the shame of admitting it.
"As you wish, my lord. β
Seeing Jonas pretending to be dead, Borobus laughed very unkindly, Jonas had always been a shrewd and wise image in his eyes, but he didn't expect to see another side of Jonas in this lonely space, and it was such a naΓ―ve side, which made him emotionally can't help but feel closer to Jonas.
It's like sharing the most embarrassing friends in each other, and that's what Borobus feels like.
Leaving the chair and walking to Elizabeth's side, Elizabeth didn't move, let Borobus pick her up gently, only when passing Jonas, Elizabeth's eyes stayed on Jonas, and then she withdrew her gaze, followed Borobus's steps and left the ward, and went outside.
"This kid is a little special. β
Curled up in Borobus's warm embrace, Elizabeth whispered, and then I don't know if Borobus's arms were too comfortable or Elizabeth was too tired, the experience at sea made Elizabeth lose too much strength, and the reason why she was still holding on to Nader's side just now was to prevent the chase from continuing to this strange city, until the appearance of the child who could call, after hearing him call Nader's name, Borobus finally let go of his heavy worries, and soon fell asleep in Borobus's armsγ
"You must be tired, you can rest here. β
Borobus looked at Elizabeth's defenseless posture, as if he was trusting himself wholeheartedly, Borobus felt his heart warm, touched Elizabeth's body, felt that the temperature was quite normal, and didn't care whether Elizabeth's body was dirty or not, so he gently covered his bed quilt on the puppy's body, and finally took a few glances at Elizabeth's sleeping face, and reluctantly left his office.
To tell the truth, between Jonas and the puppy, if you choose according to your mood, he will definitely choose the puppy, although Jonas looks cute, but always has a stinky face, in front of him, he is always frightened, completely ready to be scolded at any time, but it is different around the puppy, harmonious coexistence is the main axis of the melody, for a person and a dog to spend a good day, Borobus is still very yearning.
"Who called the person who paid me a salary to be Lord Viscount~" Borobus was helpless about this, but seeing Elizabeth's cute appearance made Borobus have the idea of raising small animals in his heart, which also made him realize very clearly in his later career that not every animal is as human as Elizabeth, especially some dogs who are stupid.
For example, Erha....
Walking back to the ward, thinking that the old gentleman didn't know when he would wake up, Borobus went to the waiting room to get two cups of freshly ground coffee before entering the door, and then walked into the ward, and saw Jonas who had woken up from sleep, Borobus handed the coffee directly to Jonas as if nothing had happened, and Jonas naturally took the coffee in Borobus's hand as if nothing had happened, felt the temperature of the cup, drank a large sip of hot coffee, exhaled, and felt much more comfortable.
"Do you want to keep vigil?" Borobus found a place to sit down, and also took a sip of the bitter black coffee, the warm feeling mixed with the heat released by the fireplace, made him a little lazy all over his body, looking at Jonas who was holding a coffee cup in both hands on the side, Borobus actually felt that Jonas was a little pitiful at this time.
'Hey, what are you thinking? Borobus shook his head, swept the weak Jonas away from his mind, and said casually on a topic.
"Well, if Nader doesn't wake up, I think so, Borobus, there is no political matter to attend to today anyway, and if there are some small things, I think you should be able to solve them. Jonas nodded, looking at the snow-white wooden bed where Nader was lying, and the worry in his heart was all in this eye.
Retracting his eyes nailed in the distance, looking at the brown coffee in his hand, Jonas gently blew away the heat in the coffee cup, and looked at the ripples on the water.
"Leave it to us. β
Borobus assured that he understood Jonas's mood at this time, and Borobus also had such a mood, but at that time he was already an adult, mentally mature, and already had some understanding of birth, old age, sickness and death, and at this time Jonas was still a child, and Jonas was definitely hurt more than himself now.
No amount of comfort is of any use to this, and all he can do is to minimize the worries in Jonas's heart and do his part.
The two men talked about each other, and the time passed slowly in this chatter, until the clouds in the sky drifted from the left window to the right window, and the new doctor came, and the maid of St. George's Palace came, and Nader did not wake up, and the time, in this hurry, came at three o'clock in the morning.
In the meantime, Jonas has never gone out for a late-night snack except at one o'clock in the morning, and until now, lying on the couch and watching the flickering flames reflected in the gray-white ceiling overhead, Nader has not made any new progress.
Worry turned to panic, and in the face of Nader's pale face, Jonas had never been as helpless as he was now, and he regretted his incompetence.
The soft sofa and instinctive escape from danger made Jonas quickly fall into a half-asleep, half-asleep, seemingly sleepy state, until a "cough cough cough", which woke up Jonas who was trying to escape from reality, let him directly open his eyes and jump up from the sofa, and ran towards Nader at a speed he had never had, and the tears that had not fallen were falling at this moment.
