Chapter 14: The Vampire Doctor
Opening the door of Will's house, a foul smell came to her face, and Lisa quickly took out a handkerchief to cover her nose.
One can imagine what a paralyzed person would be like when there was no one to take care of him.
Hobert fanned his hand in front of his nose and stepped through the door, where there were no more valuables in the room, apparently all of them had been snatched.
A man in his forties was lying on the bed, his face was full of stubble, and he looked very embarrassed, this is the injured Will.
Moldy food and empty wine bottles were scattered on the ground, and Will held a bottle of wine in his hand and stared at Hobart with scarlet eyes: "Who are you?" What's the matter with you? ”
"It doesn't matter who I am." Hobert opened the window to ventilate and said, "What about your parents?" ”
Will sneered, "Died early. ”
"Where's your wife?"
"That bitch ran away early!" also took away his savings over the years.
Hobert said: "Allow me to speculate that in your current state, you should not live more than half a month. ”
Will stared at Hobert, "What do you want to do?" I don't remember offending you. ”
"Or I can give you a sum of money and hire a maid to take care of you for a while until you get used to the days of paralysis." Hobert walked the path of temptation.
Will was at first a little incredulous, and then seemed to understand something: "What do you need me to do?" ”
Hobert didn't continue to go around in circles: "Dismiss Hugh from charges. ”
Will said fiercely: "That's impossible, she caused me to lose my legs, let her spend her life in prison!" ”
"You didn't die on the spot," Hobert said, "and this can only be considered intentional injury, and with me defending her, she can be released from prison in three or four years at most." ”
"Oh, goddess, look at the current world!" Will drunkenly shouted, "The murderer who paralyzed me has not been punished at all!" ”
Hobert waved his hand in annoyance: "Okay, you are still alive in this world, which is the greatest tolerance of the goddess."
"Let's get down to business, I'll give you 300 pounds, and you drop the charges.
"Or half a month later, I'll collect your body."
Hobert has been using the ability to "twist" unskillfully, hoping to twist Will's thoughts.
But Will stared at Hobart with a pant of breath, and after a while said, "I want three thousand pounds." ”
Hobart was a little disappointed, apparently his "twisting" abilities didn't play much of a role.
The young man who had brought Hobart over just now had been watching the excitement outside, and his jaw almost dropped when he heard Will's offer.
"I'll grant your request." Hobart smiled: "Then after you withdraw the lawsuit, spend 100 pounds to find someone to kill you." ”
Looking at Hobert's hearty smile, Will was a little frightened.
Hobert said, "Dude, your asking price is too high. ”
"That's 2,000 pounds, it can't be any lower."
Hobert shook his head anyway.
Will sneered: "Anyway, I'm a rotten life now, young gentleman, please collect my body in half a month, but also ask the bitch arbiter to prepare for jail." ”
Hobert thought for a moment: "Then let's change the conditions, I'll help you find a doctor, let you get back on your feet, and then you withdraw the lawsuit!" ”
Will was a little agitated at first, then he shook his head dejectedly: "I've seen many doctors, and they all say that I can't stand up anymore. ”
Hobert continued to use the "twisted" ability to exert influence on Will's thoughts, and he said coldly: "Please forgive me, what good doctor can you get?" ”
Will was stunned for a moment, as if he had suddenly opened his mind: yes, what good doctor can he find as a gangster in the East End? He had been carried to the hospital in Joewood, where he had seen the best doctor he had ever met.
So he rekindled his hope: "If you cure me, give me another 300 pounds......
Hobart interrupted him: "Money is the same as your choice for your treatment, my patience is limited, if you continue to play scoundrel, you will get nothing." ”
He was a little excited because his influence had a role.
"Okay, okay, I choose to treat me!" "But I won't withdraw the lawsuit until there is a significant improvement," Vir said. ”
Hobart nodded, and said to the young man outside who was probing his brain, "What's your name?" ”
"Pete, sir, my name is Pete."
Hobert took out another £1 note: "Okay Pete, would you like to run an errand for me today?" You'll also get £1 if you wish. ”
Pete immediately entered the door and reached out to get the banknote: "Of course he does!" ”
But Hobert put the money away: "I'll give it to you when your work is done, and now you go to the four homeless men and tell them that today I will hire them for one day, and I will pay them 6 soles each." ”
"Willing to help." Pete turned and went out.
He soon found four homeless men, and Hobert asked Pete to rent a carriage, and then asked the homeless man to carry Will to a bathhouse not far away to take a bath, and find someone to shave and cut Will's hair.
When they came out of the bathhouse, Will, who was being carried by the homeless man, looked at least ten years younger.
It was already noon, so Hobert found a nearby café for lunch, and asked the four homeless men to come in and eat together.
The four homeless men thanked Hobert, and two of them were in tears, they hadn't had a serious meal for a long time.
Hobert kept reminding them to eat slowly so they didn't choke on the food.
The food here was greasy, but Hobert ate them all anyway, and after a walk around the East End, he felt that any waste of food was a shame.
However, Lisa seemed to have no appetite, and the lunch she asked for was barely moved, and after obtaining Lisa's consent, Hobert divided the lunch among the four homeless men.
After lunch, Hobert said to the coachman, "Go to Hewan Avenue in the south area of the bridge." ”
The coachman asked, "Sir, how many numbers are you going?" ”
"I also forgot, when I got to Riverbend Avenue, I got out of the car and asked for directions." Hobert was telling the truth, the address of the vampire Wright's family had appeared a few times, and he could remember that it was on Riverbend Avenue, and he was thankful.
After the carriage began to move forward, on the two-wheeled carriage leading the way in front, Lisa asked with some anxiety: "Mr. Hobert, although I am not a doctor, I can also see that Will is seriously injured, are you sure that he will be cured?" ”
Hobert smiled: "Are you sure that if I say it doesn't count, the doctor will say it." ”
He said: "But the doctor I know is very special, and he is very skilled, if he says that he can't be cured, then Vir is really hopeless." ”
Lisa didn't continue the conversation, and the carriage was quiet again.
When you arrive at Hewan Avenue, most of the residents here are middle-class families, and walking on the streets here makes people feel like they have returned to the world.
Hobert went down to ask a passer-by, and soon found the address of Dr. White, who was good at "bloodletting": 48 Riverbend Avenue.
Knocking on the door of room 48, a young vampire, no, a young man opened the door for everyone: "Who are you looking for?" ”
Hobert asked, "We're coming to see Dr. White, are you Dr. White?" ”
"No, I'm his son, Emlyn White."
